Moo 's Fa Off The By Georg Special I had a , wonderful swing through New York last week and saw many now things in the way of men's wear. The Swing is to the West and most college boys are wearing the western trousers with the half cut pockets, taper ed legs and no rear pockets-top pod off or should I say bottomed off with no cuffs. The trousers fit tight which is my guess why there are no rear pockets. Sport coats are cut slorter and are cut away more in the front. Of course it will be two or three years before this trend reaches the South-if it lasts that long; Over the last few weeks I have noticed that more and more boys are wearing coats and ties to classes. It is beyond me why this hasn't caught on before now. As the years go by more and more thought is given to men's wear and as a result more and more attractive things in the men's line are being put on the market. I can't understand why a boy will spend money on a nice sport coat and -not wear It; there aren't many boys who can truth fully say they don't like to be dressed nice all the time. Color For Men For years the bright colors have belonged to the girls, but now the men are jumping back on the color wagon and it is refreshing to see the drab color. of the conservative slowly fade away. So why don't you boys pull out bright sport coats and ties and 'wear them once in a while to class? You know the old say ing: "Clothes make the man." So let's make it "Clothes make the College student." Going British A lot of people have asked me where the Ivy League style came from and why they call it Ivy league. Of course you all Kappa Delta Activates Five Pledges Beta Zeta Chapter of Kappa Delta sorority activated five women Wednesday night at Washington S t r e e t Methodist Church.

TAVODl8 cUff. Writer know the style and title came from the Ivy League schools, but they in turn took the tradition from another source, England. Most of your Ivy adhools-are. patterned after the English Ox ford, and as such carried the dress along with them with a few variations. These variations being less con servatism-the brighter colors and a new neatness. The English college student has been dressing like this for the past twenty-five years with little change and any change for the next twenty-five years is unlike ly. So in saying Ivy League, we really mean going British. Fashion Showing This coming Wednesday the Oxford Shop Ltd. of Augusta, Ga. is having a showing in Rus sell House. They will not be selling, just showing, and they have some very nice clothing to display. This same company is also putting on the "Best Dressed Man on Campus Award" in the spring-another reason why you boys should dress well. The award will be a trophy and a very gen erous clothing certificate. As I said before, they are not trying to sell you anything so drop in Wednesday and talk to them. Their representative on campus is Jim Herring, so if you have any questions see him. Bargains In Town I was in Grayson's the other day and just looking around I came upon a suit that I know Mr. Grayson has had for the last two years. He bought several of these suits, but the trouble is he bought them a couple of years too soon . . . or, I should say "too soon for this city." All but one of these suits have been sold. The one I found is a beautiful suit and had it not been for the fact that it was two sizes too big for me, it would be in my ward robe now-for in his anxiety to get rid of it he has marked it down below cost, a swamping $29. This is a nice gabardine suit, dark green, or burnt olive as you prefer, in size 42 regular. Be lieve me it is a steal and that is what they are wearing down here this year, so someone run down and buy it before it is mark ed up again (he wouldn't dare). Throughout the year this col umn will be giving many tips on how to take care of your clothes and how to wear them-what to wear and when to wear them. I'm not saying that I'm an ex pert on the subject, but my in formation does come from experts and what I say will be gospel in their eyes. Also, if there is any question I can answer I will be more than glad to come to help you with them. Just drop me a postcard in care of the Gamecock, Campus Box 49 or tell me when you see me at school. I will try to answer them in my column so everyone will benefit. Tips will be given from time to time on where you can get some good bargains and the best places to buy.

ONL "tasdmark .for Hungry Amriaam" Corner State & House Mo Fill Impor By Axn Staff I By ANN SECKEL To all Carolina women staying on campus, the dormitory host esses have become a source of guidance and comfort.

Mrs. Per BOOK REVIEW Italy Is Scene Of New Book "The Child Across the River," by Giulietta d'Alessandro to be published by McDowell, Obolen sky on September 26, is a run ning record of a woman's bravery and deep feeling. It is the true story of a mother's struggle to get to her child on the other side of the battle lines in war-ravaged Italy in 1943. Signora d'Alessandro was in occupied Rome; her little daugh ter was farther South in territory liberated by the Allies. She started South on a treacherous journey filled with many hard ships, not the least of which was confronting mile by mile the ruin of her country and the privation of her people. Fate's Promise Courage and tenacity got her to the area of the front, but there, in the mountain village of Ven tosa, she reached an impasse. From there to the nearby Garigli ano River was a desolation strewn with mines. She spent the Winter and Spring in a village barely subsisting and with only the promise of inevitable annihila tion. It was a village of weary, brave women; the men were hiding in the mountains to avoid German labor impressment. Similiar to "Frank" Diary Signora d'Alessandro wrote "The Child Across the River" a fewv years after the war, and it was an Immediate best seller in Italy. It is one of the very few documents of its kind from the Second World War--much like "The Diary of Anne Frank."

Now, it seems, the figure has taken to hiding behind such atrocities as the Trapeze, or exaggerated sacks and empire styles. No more is a tiny waistline or shapely silhouette proudly dis played; rather it is quietly con cealed, leaving only a query in the minds of the beholder.

This particular form of brainwashing seems to leave no choice to the individual; she is told that "Paris says . . " or "it's just the thing;" or "everyone is wearing and who would dare be different?
