CLU B-& CAMPUS FASHIONS Often I think the single most'important item of clothing to a young man on campus is his raincoat. College men have taken the raincoat out of the strictly foul-weather category .and turned it Into an all weather fashion. Today's young man uses his versatile raincoat as an all-around, all-purpose coat. If you're in the market for a new raincoat this Spring, you've got a lot to choose from. THE LONG AND THE SHORT OF IT... is all one-sided this season. The word for this year's raincoat lengths is brevity they measure knee length at their longest, several inches shorter in the newest models. At the shoulders, most are raglan styled (the sleeve extends to the neckline and has a slanting seamline from the underarm to the neck in front and back). Set-in sleeves are also on the scene, and fly-front button closures are the rule. Most Spring raincoats are fitted with highr bal collars (military high-riser style) and have slash pockets. In some areas of the k country, notably the East and West coasts, the continental influence is show. Ing in raincoats with all-around or half $ belts. BLACK AND WHITE CONTRAST-Most rainwear this Spring will be seen either in very dark or very light shades. Black, dark olive and dark blue are the colors on a the nether end of the rainwear spectrum, with light natural shades, off-white, and pale olive providing the bright spots. A dressy jet-black is a smart bet if you've got a few formal occasions coming up. But patterns are on the move in popu larity, particularly -in muted plaids and checks. They're soft, sub dued patterns in contrast with the stark dark and light solids. In contrast, linings are brassy and bold. Colorful stripes are the key note in the lightweight self-liner raincoats, and big bright plaid is the idea in heavier, zip-in linings for Winter-wear raincoats. THE RAIN IN SPAIN... or anyplace else, for that matter, soaks through just about everything except the fabrics you'll find in the newest rainwear. They're predominantly polyester and cotton blends, all cotton poplin and cotton twill, polyesters and wool com binations, and all-wool gabardines. The important thing to you is that enormous strides have been made in water repellency and stain resistance, making the solid light colors practical and popular. FADED BLUE DENIM ...is the big color in rain iackets this Spring. Ideally casual for campus wear, they're zippered up against the weather, with plenty of room at the waist and oversized deep slash pockets in which to bury your hands. Generally'they're plain-bot tomed, but some have a parka-type drawstring below the waist. Linings run from light cotton blends and laminated plaids bonded to the inside of the shell to deep fleece and quilts for extra warmth. THE HOBO HAT.. .which we introduced in this -column a few months ago, has made its mark in rainwear this Spring. A simple cone of processed cotton, it reverses to a felt-like material for fair weather wear. It can be turned, pulled, yanked and folded into any shape that suits you. When you change your mind, change your hat, with a few twists of the wrist. SUITS FOR SPRING ... Is next month's feature, with a look at the newest in colors, cuts and fabrics for Spring and Summer of '63. See you then.

(We are also negotiating for a $1,000 wardrobe to be added to the Queen of Queens awards. A new and interesting approach is being made in this city's unnual Fiesta of Five Flags to the "beauty pageant" feature. Talent and attainments of the contestants, who are being sought among 30 colleges and universities in the Southeast, will predominate in the judging. Fiesta officials feel this will help the various schools to project a better public image than the ordinary "beauty contest." Contestants may be sponsored by a college, or a school in the univer sity field, or by a campus organiza tion, or they may enter individ ually. The show will be held June 5-9, but entrants are invited to spend Easter vacation free at Pen sacola Beach where they can be auditioned and photographed. Then a TV show will be tailored to their various talents. This show will re ceive national and local distribu tion. The winner will appear on the "Today" show, a national net work, during a week's vacation in New York, and many other prizes are offered. Full information may be had by writing Fiesta of Five Flags, Pensacola, Florida.
