Men Get Lusi Panfellas, Fh Say The Fast The college man should now have in his wardrobe at least one of the following: cloth-of-gold aport shirts with three-quarter length sleeves; brocaded silk pajamas; Picasso pink sweaters with plung ing necklines, and polka-dotted sus penders. So say fashion designers in New York, who decided thi. fall it was time for a change in men's bib 'n' tuckery. Hand-in-hand with the revolu tionary change, the first in fifteen years for the male sex, is predicted a new trend in college smoking habits-the switch to the cigar. The sudden turn to color, oddly enough, tends to bring out the "beast" and the "best" in man, simultaneously . . . by accentuat ing what fashion authorities call his "lustiness." A rugged tan glows threateningly under the challenge of pink. Muscles look twice as powerful set off by a masculine polka dot, king size. The new popularity of cigars is a style note that cropped up less suddenly. It was an outgrowth of the war, when men grew more ro bust, needed a more robust smoke. Dr. Eugene Kahn, professor. of psychiatry at Yale University, analyzed it this way: "The lusty are the people with strong appe tites, who genuinely and thorough ly enjoy all the good things of the earth,. and with them smoking. Lusty men enjoy quantitatively and qualitatively, a choice meal, a fine play or concert. a good cigar." rhe tense type, he adds, turn to cigarettes. The combination of huskiei clothes and cigar-smoking are coupled under a general trend to ward making college men "the lusty type." Last spring, when designers first brought out their wardrobe changes, they feared male resist ance, so they flattered the gentle manly ego by hinting it was the "bold look." Consumers fell for it. They literally snarled to themselves as they flipped cash across the coun ter for suits with extra-wide lapels, pastel shirts with command Soph 'Y' Can Orphanage P To Hold Mot The canteen on the second t for the first time this year o was servedI as an opening nigi The canteen is the Project of It will be opened every Monda&t candy, and cigarettes will be on sale.

Later, the men were surprised to find the change in their clothes closets was not so much daring as it was quietly masculine. . Now, the "bold look" is sched uled to continue. Dozens of new gimmicks have been added-in cluding two much-promoted colors for suits, hats and shoes. They are walnut brown and navion, which is a combination of navy and aviation blue. Suits for winter have lapels that spread an inch wider on either side of the manly chest, each lapel sp,orting a one-inch welt seam at the edge. Suits are cut easier, with more fullness through the chest. Not only suspenders, but ties and garters have taken on polka-dots. Not the feminine type dots. Fash ion authorities call them "dubloon dots," because they're a full inch in diameter, and they're patterned against hold, solid color back grounds. Sport shirts are not only color ful (flamingo, kelly green, topaz, eggshell), but they have the added personality of wide-spread collars with stitching one-half inch in from the edge. New shoes are heftier, with black soles and uppers in a now shade called midnight muroc (that's a deep reddish-brown). With the black and muroc duo, the young man can wear black, brown or grey. Socks to go with these shoes are extremely wide-ribbed, with large flashy diamohds, or checks "as bold as a gambler's vest." Hats pick up the color of the general en semble by matching the band around the crown, and the band around the brim, to the color of the suit. The hats, incidentally, are designed to look like homburgs -except that the brim snaps down neatly in front. The final note in the college fashion picture-that cigar-has changed too. Not to be outdone by clothing makers, the cigar manufacturers have put into their lines a special collegiate style. teen Opens; arty Given; -ning Watch loor of Flinn Hall was opened n Monday night.

SCOTT "Professor Christophersen is the dictator of all theatrical develop ment on campus," or, perhaps, "Mr. C. is the finest professor I've studied under." These are the op posite reactions of students to one of the most controversial faculty c members of our institution. The I fact that such statements as these are made indicate the forceful ness of this man's personality. An A.B. from Beloit, M.A. from a Northwestern, graduate work in t four schools, plus a diverse record1 of teaching assignments makes I Professor Christophersen qualified d for his campus activities. Since 1939, Mr. Christophersen's s first year here, the University t Players have presented more than I one hundred antd fifty plays. How- Ii ever, this great number of produc- E tions is not the basic idea guiding a the players group. Its h)asic pre mise has to do with the develop ment of each member's p)ersonality ---those characteristics which will be most beneficial in later life. Having a deep understanding of the differences in individual abil ity. Professor Christophensen quickly eliminates the chaff fronm the grain. Professor C.'s pJersonality can perhaps be likened to a combina tion of Henry Wallace, John L. Lewis, and Old King Cole. This perception, which conmes from his intellectual honesty, tenacity by way of aggressiveness, and the twinkle in his eye, gives him a keen sense of humor, and a sin cere love of his fellow men. In all fairness, the value of each teacher should be judged~ by the long-range contribution that he makes to the develoymnent of his students. On this basis Professor Merrill C. Christophersen more than meets the test.
