'Baby It's Cold Outside'
Today's Football Fashions Designed For Warmth
Today's football fashions have changed from those of our parents, many of whom were here in 1930, the year being celebrated at Homecoming. At that time fashion was emerging from the era of the long waisted look, the cloche hats under which one could almost find a face, and the renowned racoon coat.
We have progressed a long way since then. Today the shorter, less bulky coats are in the limelight.
Suede Is Popular
Suede jackets are always popular on the campus and are wonderful for those games when it is almost, but not quite, warm enough to go without a coat. The standard style suede jacket comes in almost any color.
The names of many football fashions suggest that you are ready to go to the game when you wear them. The stadium coat is good for those late season games when the temperature drops. With a warm guilted lining, it comes in black, white, and natural.
The "sidelineer" is designed to keep out the wind that whips down the hill into the stadium. Wind and water repellent, light but warm, it is interlined with celanese acetate—and it's washable. The "sidelineer" comes in white with blue lining, and for the die-hard Jayhawker, in navy with red lining or red with navy lining.
Sweaters Just Right
For the warm-blooded fan who doesn't like to wear a coat until the last possible moment, there are
Selection of wall colors depends upon when the room will be used Daylight adds a blue effect to wall colors, and sometimes light bulb rays bring out yellow tones.
Now that mid-semesters are over, you might be switching rooms in your house, and you might want to do some redecorating.
Lighting Makes A Difference
Shades between blue and green—such as turquoise and aqua—seem bluer by day and much greener under artificial light.
Artificial lighting makes pink and red colors seem stronger and oranger.
Mauve, lilac, and violet will be much weaker, more drab, and even brownish under electric lights.
turtle-neck sweaters. Almost as warm as a coat with their heavy knit, they can be found in many popular colors to match almost any skirt.
Those who prefer the extra warmth of a long coat will find popular styles in the long wearing chinchilla and in camel hair. Many styles are lined with alpaca for added protection against the cold. A blanket carrying case is a practicoid weather the blanket keeps feet cl accessory for the stadium. In warm, and if the thermometer goes up, the blanket in the case makes a good seat softener.
'Auld Lang Syne'
Seniors are supposed to get a twinge of sadness when they think of their last Homecoming as a student—at least that's what the general opinion seems to be.

No Tears Shed By Senior
Maybe this senior is unusual, but she has a twitch of happiness instead.
She looks back on the past three Homecomings with enthusiasm, but she is anticipating future home-comings as an alum.
Decorations Remembered
Decorations Remembered
The features of Homecoming that stand out most in her mind are the joys and pains of house decorations.
The year before last it was so cold the day before Homecoming that fingers pounding nails were numb and blue. By the time for judging the wind had died down, but until then there were constant groans as one part or another of the decorations blew down.
At least it was warm inside that night while the pledges took shifts behind the living room curtains to see that vandals didn't tamper with the display in the middle of the night.
Pledges Fall Asleep
Someone must have fallen asleep on her shift, for although the decorations were intact, there was an "unaccounted for" tractor sitting in the middle of the front yard.
This senior doesn't remember
If you don't have much time for taking good care of your hair, remember these hair hints which are designed for pretty and healthier looking hair with a minimum of work.
Hair Hints Save Time
After you wash your hair put a few drops of hair dressing or or cream rinse in the last rinse water. This will coat the hair delicately, give it body, and control fuzziness.
When wispiness is only at the edges, don't put oil on the entire head. Instead put a little on your fingerprints to smooth the wisps at nape and temples.
A clean brush will make shampoos necessary less often. A little water or hair dressing on the brush will help control curls after a new permanent or if your hair is naturally too curly.
much about the games except the presentation of the queen and going home afterwards to a house full of unfamiliar faces drinking coffee and eating doughnuts.
It was fun to see those faces light up when they saw the classmate they hadn't seen for years—and then to eavesdrop on the "can you top this" conversation. It was usually a contest to see who had the biggest car, the best job, and the most children (with pictures to illustrate).
Last For Seniors
This year the senior will go through another Homecoming and enjoy every minute of it. Maybe it will be even more exciting because it is the last as a student.
But she can hardly wait until next year to sit on the west side. It will be great to go to the house for coffee and doughnuts and to greet friends she hasn't seen since graduation—and it will be a special pleasure to tell the girls how terrific the house decorations are.
