Today’s Fashion Scene
Is Prettier Than Ever
By JEAN FIELD
Right now, the fashion picture is
prettier than it has been in many
a season. It’s not stylized or regi
mented; it emphasizes individuali
ty and freedom of choice. And-
happily — last summer’s trend to
softness has not disappeared. It
has actually gained strength.
Fashion today is all-out for gen
tle lines, graciousness, downright
flattery. The only restrictions aro
that we be feminine and that we
choose styles which suit us.
For example: shoes which have
been neodle-pointed still are, in
many instances. But there are oth
er shapes. A. S. Beck reports in
creasing interest in square and
oval tips, as weU as in those that
aro softly or sharply tapered. This
applies to both play and dress foot
wear. Heels, too, vary: fractional,
mid, high. 'The real news here, as
elsewhere, is that it’s up to us.
The budget-minded girl (there’s
another kind?) can find whatever
she wants in moderately priced
footwear. Beck points out another
happy circumstance: the use of
lots of fabric in shoe.s. It’s possi
ble now to have the style you want
and also the fabric that suits its
design and your purpose. A wide
choice of textures and finishes
makes this season’s footwear a
real costume accessory.
Dresses are so feminine (there’s
that lovely word again) they’re
hard to believe. They feature drap
ery, softly-full skirts, intricate side
closings. Pleats are anywhere
and everywhere, and the bosom is
softly outlined. We have all the
frUls. These ‘dressmaking details’
even include buttons and bows,
but they are used with subtlety
and sophistication. The trend is to
a custom-made look.
Skirts top just below the knee,
occasionally sooner. Waistlines are
usually at nature’s level, some
times slightly lower (iwlth a few
designers adding excitement by
lifting them to Empire levels;
'They are diagonal seams, there is
lots of trim. In the latter depart
ment, fur - and especially fake fur
— is a stand-out on hems.
That ‘Uttle black dress,’ so im
portant to mother and grandmoth
er is enjoying a happy revival. A
small wardrobe demands it, no
extensive wardrobe would think of
being without it. Here, the line is
softly draped, but tends to the
classic. After all, a good LBD is
meant to serve for years.
Sweaters are still tops as tops,
on campus and off. With new tex
tures appearing regularly (es
pecially in Orion acrylic fiber),
styles range from the classic coun
try sweater to the smoothly for-

mal. In between, there are the won
derful bulky weaves, the fleecy
‘Brushed’ type, he newly-important
handknit look.
Beyond the continuting expan
sion of sweaters to aU-occaslon
use, there are two trends. One is
to Scandinavian designs, now as
important on the campus as on
the ski run. 'The other is to a long
er look. Once again, however, this
is not dominant; you can select
line as weU as color and texture.
And what about color? In every
thing - shoes, dresses, sweaters,
skirts - there is a lovely range of
‘suit yourself.’ Perhaps the two
most important trends are to mul
ti-colored jacquard prints and the
brown tones which appear as to
bacco, taupe, spice. Almost as
popular are off-shades of blue and
green (amothyst, leaf). Then there
are the vivids: turquoise, a deep
red clearer than wine, peacock.
Magenta. Plus the orange hues
which were i»pular last summer
and continue into the winter.
The sum-up phrase for the whole
picture: freedom of choice.

Boys Hold Beauty Contest
By CAROL COLVARD
In line with their current pro
gram to broaden cultural knowl
edge among the brothers, the Sig
ma Pi’s climaxed an exiting in
tellectual discussion of aesthetic
values with a beauty contest
among its 13 members.
It was decided to consider can
didates on the basis of excellence
of face and figure, marbleness of
complexion, originality of hair
style, sportsmanship, athletic abili
ty, artistic endeavor, brand of af
ter shave lotion, scholarship, man
ner of dress, pious nature, knowl
edge of etiquette, and skiUs in the
areas of letter writing, snowing
girls, and twisting.
There were 13 nominations as
each brother in turn rose and mod
estly presented himself as a can
didate. Among those running were:
John “Helen of Troy’ Todd, who
nominated himself for his spark
ling eyes and sexy voice;
Douglas “Aphrodite” Ledbetter,
who nominated himself for his
rosy cheeks and intellectual wit;
Bob “Cleopatra” Lynch, who
chose himselt lor his young, fair,
and debonair manner;
Doug “Athena’ Swain, who pre
sented himself solely on intellect
and depth of understanding;
Bill “Juno” Batchelor, who nom
inated himself chiefly for good
looks and knowledge of political
theory;
Brandt “Psyche” Ross, who
must have had some reason for
nominating himself, but absolutely
nobody has figured out what it is
yet.
The candidates and their attri
butes were discussed at some
length, with each candidate speak
ing in favor of himself. 'The high
light of this exciting discussion was
a short fist fight which occurred
between two of the young lovelies
when one titled the other as an
“ugly so-and-so’
The final vote was a 13-way tie
between aU voters.
