DEAR DIARY

Special Writer
Dear Diary,
Well, today was my first day at
college. Boy, what a (lay! I arose
at the unearthly hour of nine
o'clock and arrived at school by
eleven. I was to report to room
118 in Barnwell College. After
standing in line for about one-half
of an hoiur I finally arrived there,
and received my registration cards.
lain, are they gone! There is a
spa~ce ini which you are to fill in
your name, but you can't because
it's full of holes. Well, I guess
that's bow the ball bounces.
I then prioceededl to sign up for
my classes. I got everything I
didn't want. I hatve all eight (oooh)
o'clock (lasses and my next class
at eleven. I hope I can find some
place to catch a nap in those two
hours.
I finally got to the Treasurer's
Office. I think the whole Univer
sity was there. After another hour
I finally found myself through. I
was beat; little was I to know
wvhat the book\store wvould be like.
Well, I soon found out-a mad
house!
I dlon't remember how long I
stood in line or howv I got out of
there. I ended up with two wrong
books, and three I haven't the
slightest idea where they came
from.
This, dear diary, is c'ollege. All
I wantedl to do was just to give
them my mioney, but that was too
simple for the highest level of edu
cation. I hope I can survive the
second( dlay of my college life.

The greatest controversy of sev
eral years in the fashion world has
'been ^ recently created \by the *
French designer, Christian Dior.
His new, flat chested look, which
seems to be a throwback to the
twenties, is complete with high
neck and dropped waist line.
One of the most prevalent fash
ions this fall is the shirt waist
idea. The theme has been carro
through almost all phases of cloth
ing-blouses complete with cuff
links, date dresses of wool, faille,
and corduroy, and even cocktail
dresses of taffeta and satin.
Making its appearance this fall
in a big way is winter cotton.
Dresses of this fabric will take
the place of cotton and wool for
the in-between fall weather when
nothing feels quite right.
Another throwback to earlier
days' are the ropes of beads, like
those that Grandmother may have
worn.
The Princess and Empire lines
which had their start last spring
with lighter materials and cottons,
are back in full swing for fall.
Skirts are full and worn over a
multitude of petticoats. '4
Becoming more and more popu
lar for dress wear are shoes of the
open toed sandal variety with
French heels.
