Jackets Make Fashion News BY LETTY LEMON
By LETTY LEMON
Times Have Changed
This is the year of the suede and capeskin jacket.
On a mild-chilly day, the casual observer sitting by the doorway of the Hawk's Nest in the Union (as this writer did, taking copious notes along with copious sips of coffee) will see a pastel and winter-colored array of every conceivable leather jacket style.
The most popular one seems to be hip-length, with a casual boxy cut and perhaps a detachable belt. Slash and patch pockets, yokes, cuffed and buttoned sleeves all provide interesting detail.
The most popular color seems to be pastel bluish-turquoise, with neutral and brown shades the runners-up. White, pink, light blue, green, and navy are also frequently seen. Making an appearance lately has been the leather shortie with contrasting piping peeked around the collar, sleeves, and fastening.
Another style, seen more and more of late, is a three-quarter length jacket with substantially the same cut as the one discussed above. This writer during her observation hour at the Union noticed a full-length capeskin and a full-length suede coat walk through the swinging doors, carefully sheltering two unshivering coeds.
Needless to say, the jackets and coats are warm. Some even come complete with wool-quilted lining.
Smart tricks being employed by many of the jacket owners include wearing matching or blending neck and head scarves.
A particularly attractive ensemble of this kind was witnessed by the populace of the Hawk's Nest, as a freshman woman arrived sporting a light blue capeskin jacket and a light blue, pink, and white, pleated plaid skirt. It drew a few long, low whistles—and what more could you want?
Marriage, School, Mix Well Difficulties? Hardly Any!
By GEORGIA (O'DANIEL) WALLACE
Do marriage and school mix? They certainly do! In fact, there are more students in the total KU enrollment, attending the University now and proving it.
Bv GEORGIA (O'Daniel) WALLACE
Twenty years ago the student directory began separating the men's and women's married names, but no record of married students was kept until 1945, when the veterans returned to school. "There weren't very many married students, though, they couldn't afford it. The girls couldn't get jobs like they can today," a clerk in the registrar's office said.
But financial difficulties seem to be in part resolved. Today, both, neither, or either the husband or wife may be working. Sometimes the parents support them while they finish school. Many couples are putting themselves through their last years of school. BOTC salaries, athletic scholarships, and GI payments are a help.
And, aside from common interests, education and marriage go hand in hand. Surveys show that higher education is a factor for making for successful marriage. At the same time, marriage offers a mature approach to studies, and replace uncertainty, found so much in college, with security.
A friend once asked me "how on earth do you find time to study?" I reminded her of the time she spends in meetings, song practices, house activities of all kinds finding a quiet place to study, ad infinitum. She agreed that I probably did have that time free. . .
One of the big reasons that marriage and school go so well together is that school gives the couple common interests and background upon which to build.
Many married co-eds would agree that cooking and other housework is a relaxing change from the mental strain of class and study.
Singles,
By CURT ERNST
Al Martino: "Sweetheart of Mine" "Before" (Capitol), "Sweetheart" could well be just what Mr. Martino has been looking for and needing to move back into the hit bracket. It's an Italian-flavored curry, curried garlic which he delivers in a warm and ingratiating manner. The flip side is just an average ballad done in average style.
Tony Martin: "I Love Paris"—"Stranger in Paradise" (Victor). "I Love Paris" didn't catch on too well when the show its from, Cole Porter's "Can-Can," first opened on Broadway, but in the last few weeks the tune has been one of the nation's fastest-rising hit tunes. This is not the best recording of the time, but it isn't the worst because of the fine backing by the Hugo Winterhalter orchestra and chorus. However, it's a pretty drab job and doesn't seem to get anywhere.
Dinah Shore: "Changing Partners"—"Think" (Victor). This coupling will give Dinah Shore her best jukebox attention for some time. Both are lilting tunes which she delivers in her own captivating way. "Partner" has a light hearted melody which sticks to the ear and "Think" has a catchy, off-beat rhythm.
Jackie Gleason: "Golden Violins"
—"Mystery Street" (Capitol). Two fine sides by the lush Gleason outfit. "Violins" is a first-rate instrumental job with a lot of color and richness. It will rate a lot of attention. Backing is also well-done, but lacks the excitement of "Violins."
Tony Bennett: "Stranger in Paradise"—"Why Does It Have to be Me" (Columbia). "Stranger," although not noticeably better than Tony Martin's version, will undoubtedly be a hit as it comes right on the heels of Mr. Bennett's sock version of "Rags to Riches." Both sides are well-done, though.
Julius La Rosa: "I Believe"—"No Other Love" "My Funny Valentine—Rosanne" (Cadence). Mr. La Rosa, the most sought-after talent in entertainment since his squabble with Arthur Godfrey, is bound to clean up on his first extended play record simply because of the way his name has been in the news lately. He shows up best in "Valentine," in the fine old tune by Richard Rogers and Larry Hart, which he delivers in a warm and sincere manner. He's done better things before, however. "No Other Love" and "Rosanne" just don't seem to get anywhere, and he just doesn't have the power to give "I Believe" what it deserves.
Percy Faith: "Everybody Loves Saturday Night" "True or False" (Columbia). This fine orchestra is certainly deserving better material than this. Tunes are done in folk and hillbilly style, and there's nothing outstanding about either one. There are enough hillbilly artists to record this stuff.

Joni James: Til Never Stand in Your Way." "Why Can't I" (MGM). Miss James probably does these two as well as she's done anything. The former is a carbon copy of the rest of her platter efforts while the latter is a change of pace tune which will probably receive some unfavorable comments.

Albums, Reviewed
Doris Day: "Secret Love"—"The Deadwood Stage" (Columbia). Two songs from the new Warner Brothers mustel, "Calamity Jane," starring Miss Day. She delivers both in the usual bouncy way and gets good backing under the baton of Ray Holford of the Warner Studio.
Jeri Southern: "You Said"—"Speak Softly to Me" (Decea). Miss Southern's throaty, seductive voice is exhibited to advantage here in two tunes which are definitely above average entries in the field of popular music.

Leroy Anderson: "The Typewriter Song" — "The Girl in Satin" (Decca). One knows instinctively that these are two Anderson originals. The former is performed in his usual ingratiating style with a real typewriter used in the rhythm section. "Girl" is an effective pairing, but definitely not in a class with some of his other originals.
Making Fruit Cake? Here's A Hint...
For any festive occasion—home-
coming, Thanksgiving, or Christmas,
—one desert is sure to please, and
that one is fruitcake.
The tremendous advantage this particular delicacy holds over equally flavorful dishes is the fact that it lasts and gets better the longer it is kept.
Cookbooks abound with delicious and easy-to make fruitcake recipes, but following this writer's profound conviction that there is more to cooking than measuring ingredients and standing at a stove, here are a few tips for pre-baking preparations:
In shopping, remember that $ _{1/2} $ pound of pineapple, cherries, and citrus peels each produces $ 1_{1/2} $ cups.
One pound of walnuts produces $ \frac{3}{8} $ cups nutmeats; 1 pound almonds, $ \frac{1}{4} $ cups; and 1 pound filberts, $ \frac{1}{2} $ cups.
Don't try to do all the preparation and baking in one day. Buy fruits and nuts during regular shopping trips. Cut them and store in screw-top jars as you find time during usual kitchen duty. Prepare the pans and measure the ingredients the day before baking and you'll find the actual cake-making a breeze.
Frank Sinatra: "South of the Border"—I Love You ("Capitol"). Frank Sinatra moves to the Capitol label with this record, backed by the Billy May orchestra. Both numbers are delivered in a way you have never heard them before. This platter might become a real hit.
ALBUMS
"John Brown's Body" (Columbia).
Stephen Vincent Benet's book, as prepared by Charles Laughton for a Paul Gregory stage production for national tour, is a fine example of a great literary work excellently done on records. Mr. Laughton, Tyrone Power, Judith Anderson and Raymond Massey, stars of the original production, are responsible for this fine reading. Walter Schuumann and the Richard White choir add vividly to the dramatic effects
"The Robe" (Decca). Alfred Newman directs the Hollywood Symphony orchestra in a recording of his original score for the Twentieth Century-Fox epic in CinemaScope. This is one of Hollywood's best scoring jobs and is played tremendously exciting fashion, its drawback is that it suffers a little by too much repetition of the main theme. Nevertheless, it is a fine orchestral work and carries a great dramatic impact.
"Portraits on Standards" (Capitol)
Here is the highly controversial Stan Kenton orchestra at its very best, although definitely not its noisiest. The album was done as a followup to the recent "Sketches on Standards" by the same outfit, and gives the band members good opportunity to-show what fine musicians they really are. The band's trombone section, without doubt the best in the business, walks away with "Crazy Rhythm," and "How High the Moon" to nothing short of perfection. The saxophones get their chance to shine with "You and the Night and the Music" and "I've Got You Under My Skin." "April in Paris," "I Got It Bad and That Ain't Good," and "Autumn in New York" all come in for interesting and unusual treatments. The other standout of the album is Bill Russo's unique, beautiful, and somewhat dissonant arrangement of Debussy's semi-classical "Reverie."
