Men's Fai ...Off Tb By GEORGE LEVENTIS Special Writer A month or so ago while writ ing my first column on the cuff less trousers, I began wondering why trousers did have cuffs. Aft er doing some research on tht subject here is what I came ul with. Years, ago the English gentle man would often travel to the country during the weekends tc visit friends. In those days grass was not kept as short as today and in order to keep the bottoms of their trousers dry the gentle men rolled up the trouser leg. As would happen, someone for got to roll them back down again and received a few remarks on how different it looked. An adventurer as the man was, had trousers manufactured with cuffs. Cuff Customs Although this custom is most common many countries such as Italy do not abide with cuffs on any type of trouser. In England the cuff is consid ered improper on any type suit, evening or otherwise; but is prop er with country, casual or sports wear. Many in this country fol low the "cuff-rule," but usually cuffs are worn with all but eve ning attire. Trouser Length The question of proper length to wear trousers has arisen. Us ually the wardrobe will contain different lengths, however, the proper length is just touching the top of the shoe or with a slight break. Men considered to be in high fashion wear their trousers ankle high. All I have to say 'is "let them stay there .. in high fash ion, I mean." Knee High According to a UPI dispatch appearing in the New York Her ald Tribune last July, we may all be wearing kilts sooner than we think, on the golf course and fa'r from it. The story was from London: ' "Defense Minister D u n c a n Sandys said in today's House of informal "get-acquainted" parties throughout the year such as the tea, smoker and drop-in. The dressy dress, suitable for church, and short gloves are most ap propriate. Teas given before 5 p. m. require hats also. A suit or sports jacket and slacks is most popular for the men.

Members of the committee are Janie Browvn, Caroline Carter, Gloria Baker, Boo Baker, Tootie Gruiffin, Martha Dabbs, Skippy Canady, secretary; and Lynne Morison, chairman.

This album presents the themes ef some standard classics in a sing able, almost dancing lilt. While those overly impressed with their own sense of culture turn up their already elevated noses at the ,popularization of classics, this seems to me to be a step in the right direction. At least people are familiar with the themes of some standards in the musical world. The' Big Question In this day of rockamania, the general public is actually un aware that classic music is to be listened to-not "appreciated," or "analyzed," but listened to. The question in the minds of many is: "Now 'that classic music is-s6 to speak-at the public level, where will it go?" The record companies are push ing the classics, both from a sales angle and an aesthetic point. Again, "Will the trend be up or down?" Beginning of the End I hope that the trend will be up, and I think it will, because at long last longhair music Is being freed from longhair influ ence. One no longer has to have a million dollars-or the attitude that is commonly associated with a million dollars. Actually, the great music is being returned to the people-from whence It or (By he Auhor of "Barej THE CLOTHES YOU SA In this column we take up fashi( of course, the Ivy Look.

Unnatural Heat It seems Swedish scientists have . found the unnatural heat caused by wearing trousers is likely to have a cumulatively seri ous effect upon the male. They conclude by recommending the general adoption of the Scottish ^kilt. Some days and some things that are said are just too funny to believe, but they said the same thing and laughed when the Wright brothers launched their first airplane. In conclusion, I'll say, "watch out men." Rare Wool Last year a certain little an imal-or was it this year-caused more excitement in the White House since Roosevelt's scottie. This innocent little creature was -you guessed it-the Vicuna. I guess we can say it was given a bad name through no fault of his own. Biography This creature belongs to the same family as the camel, but he is smaller than a lama, more deer-like and rarer. He lives in the South American Andes and is not often seen below 10,000 feet. Whoever has the job of esti mating such things reports about 50,000 of these animals in exis tence and most of these are not accessible. As a result only about 1000 pounds of vicuna wool comes into this country each year. Expense, of course is the final result. For those interested, you can buy a pair of vicuna socks mixed with alpaca -and nylon for only $8.50. Hat Trends Over the last few years more and more young people are wear ing hats. As a result manufac turers are styling hats for the young college man and the young business man. An influx of the German type hat is being seen on all streets as well as the college campus. German or not, the old felt is still king and it is my guess it remain so for a long time to come. Expense Valued Have you ever wondered what goes into the making of a good hat? The felt is made out of rabbit's fur with beaver and muskrat. There is an art to the blending of the fur and to prop. eily felting them together. The felt is placed on cones and shrunk so the felt is tighter and finer in quality. The accessories of lining, band and bow are final touches. It is quite easy to see why a good hat is a little ex pensive. rER ED TO OPEN A lARGE ACCOUNT" U. 7ered .. . Raised? iginally came. While kids will still bop to trash, and modernists will explore the limitless fields of Jasx, the average "Joe" will find it is just as easy to hum "Schubert's Beren ade," as it is to hum "Forget Me Not."

There's Room for All Music is an intensely personal art, "one man's beat is another's noise," and so on, but Coniffs contribution, plus some others will do much to raise the musical taste without crowding off other worthwhile mosic as R&R threat ens to do. All in all, the standard is being raised, and it's a decided turn for the better. Concert Series Incidently, the Columbia Mu seum of Art is presenting a fine series of concerts this year. Local talent is used for the most part. All concerts are given on Sunday afternoon. Watch the calendar of events for dates. The University trio will give a Spring concert in this series fea turing works of Mozart, Schubert and several modern composers. Dr. Hugh Williamson, piano; and Mr. Edwin Jones, violin, represent J the music faculty in the trio. Tire Manufacture "Automation" is not new.
