Fashions on Parade
By Colleen Wyatt
In aplte of the whistling winds
and the down-to-earth effect of
the recent epidemic of colds. In
spite of the threatening European
situation, in spite of work and tests
that are beginning to pile up, still
uppermost In our minds when we
put away our books are the new-
est and the most brilliant fashions.
Sophistication Is the word for
the fashions Vogue advocates this
month, featuring accessories, Jew-
els and furs. There's room for an
argument that Southwestern co-eds
could go in for a lijtle more glam-
our than they do—most of us seem
to prefer comfort—and this latest
Issue of Vogue gives more ideas
than we could ever use.
“Jewels in series, hcarts-and-
flowers jewels, jewels on your muff,
on your sleeve.” You can pick
your Jewels from the garden, you
can go down to the sea for them,
or you can wear a bracelet with a
giant clasp, which, when removed,
can double for a clip. The sug-
gestion I like best is the idea of
twisting a flexible bracelet into
your pompadour.
In Mademoiselle and other top-
notch magazines, gloves fashioned
exactly like real boxing-gloves
have been shown, and Jackie Tits-
worth is the first on the1' campus
to acquire a pair—they’re bright
green.
Most striking figure on the cam-
pus Tuesday night was Mrs. Fergu-
son- in her blazing red velvet even-
ing gown. Another good-looking
outfit is Mittie Sue Carter's street
dross of red faille.
San Marcos was Impressed last
week-end by Betty Jane Garrison
in a dress with a corduroy skirt
and jersey blouse of yellow, blue,
and wine. Maxine Harris wore a
blue sailor-suit with a blue sailor
hat—white moccasins and a red
pigskin purse.
Loveliest and most impressive
sight in a long, long time was Au-
drey McBlain walking up the aisle.
Her wedding-dress was of ivory
satin with a long white trailing
veil, contrasting with the green
slipper-satin dresses and green
heart-shaped hats worn by her
bridesmaids. If you’re curious, ask
Elizabeth msler to let you see
hers.
Things to look for on the cam-
pus: Ernestine Kirkland’s red plaid
dress with the black velveteen col-
lar and the black velveteen but-
tons on the fitted waist, Gloria
Hawker's white blanket-wool coat
with a raccoon-trimmed hood,
Nonie Hutcherson’s green wool
three-piece suit, Jeanne Tyree’s
yellow chain necklace of wood.
Golden Bowl Dinner
Planned For October 24
! OPEN FORUM
(Editor’s note. One of the most important things a school paper
can accomplish is to reflect the opinions of students on current prob-
lems and questions. The staff invites students to suggest topics for
discussion and to contribute their opinions in the Open Forum in
order that The Megaphone may reflect, interpret and more effectively
present student thought in Southwestern University.)*
What Type of Music Would You Prefer From Our Band?
D. M. Cogdell—I’m a stropg be-
liever in swing. I think it’s the
modern craze and a good pastime
for young people.
m * »
Wayne Parkerf I think classical
music is completely out of place at
e. football game.
* * •
Rod Gillespie: I like swing. Clas-
sical music is all right in its place,
tut it has no place In i'outhwes-
tern.
* * •
Glenn Romhert: I like a variety
of music, swing, classical and jazz.
• • •
Joe McCray: I prefer semiclassi-
al mixed with the popular.
Courtney Sioeloff: Semiclaseical.
* * •
Martha Ann Noll: I think class-
ical muisc has its place, but that
place isn’t on a football field
* * *
Mary Ruth Ilrockett: For our
band at football games, I think we
should have swing and popular.
* * •
Fred Roquemorc: I prefer swing
because I think the students en-
joy it more than classical music.
* * •
Foggy Gaston: There is a time
and a place for everything. College
is the place for gaiety and gaiety
is embodied in swing.
