USC TRAVELS ... University festival. Pictured above, left to rig and Don Jones. (Staff photo by Be College Men Enter The Fashion Show The well-dressed man about town and campus must always be particular concerning his mode of dress. With today's fast moving st'yle changes and the trend towards less conservative styles for all types of dress, today's Beau Brummel must be on his toes. Evening wear has felt the ef fects of fashions for the carefree. Yesterday's black tie and cummer bund have gone the way of all anti quated apparel, and are replaced by such innovations as plaid en sembles. Jackets also are now of fered in the various colors of the clan, with matching stripes on the tux trousers. Careeree Living Style It seems that America is going for a type of dress more in tune with the carefree living of, today. No longer is the classic model of the staid Englishman the proto type of the modern American Man. Today what is accepted as com fortable, yet in good taste, is the criterion of our stylistic changes. For town dress the usual cus toms are still practiced. Dark suits and matching accessories are always pleasing and in the true collegiate spirit. Tweed sports coats are coming into their own again and we can expect to see more of them with the coming seasons. Offset Dark Tones To offset the depressing tone of (lark suits the individual may find an outlet for his soaring moods by choosing his jewelry with an eye to complementing his spirit. The accessories may have the unique touch which the actual garment lacks. A personal monogram or golden pictorial is fully acceptable and often a credit to a young squire's nature. For the nth degree in fashion the debonaire and fastidious go further than their immediate per sonal dress. Automobile tires are now available in colors to match the taste and dress of those who desire them. In short, today's man of leisure .is the pace setter and can be ex pected to be heard from for new changes in the future.

Recordwise, his Coral wax ing of The Yellow Rose of Texa is still riding high on the chart. "I've had big breaks before plenty of them," Johnny says, "bu I was never really ready for then With Hearts and Flowers I thin I was ready on all counts. I ha had a great opportunity to scor after my hitch in the Army, whe they were billing me as the 'G. I Sinatra,' but I wasn't up to it." Records and Radio Johnny was referring to th Victor recording contract and th two network radio shows that wer thrown his way after he gaine prominence as vocalist with th late Glenn Miller's army banc Before that, when he was just youngster, Johnny had been fea tured singer with Gene Krupa. After the war he had soared t a $3,600 per .week performer, bu Johnny, in his own words, "laid bomb." The Victor contract an the radio shows went out the win dow as quickly as they had corn mn. He retreated from New Yor1 to rebuild the confidence that ha been kicked out of him when h failed, and he moved his famil: to Chicago.
