TRIANGLE . . .

With the current advent of nearspring weather, we find our male student populace optimistically tucking away its winter overcoat among the moth balls. . . . and furtively glancing about for an excuse to "go spring." The "on-the-Hill" combination of saddle shoes and fingertip coats will go on and on, however, until weather says, "No!".
But for the events less commen than classrooms and lectures the University undergraduate will soon undergo a noticeable transfer of attire. The one who is interested even though secretly, in emulating Esquire will bear several things in mind.
For example, the length of suit coats is still on the increase; hand-stitching "at the edges" will be even more prominent than before; single-breasteds will in many cases add a button, bringing the total to four; soft knit woolen ties will hang onto their winter popularity by emerging as pastels to grace widespread shirt collars.
The undergraduate's trouser length will remain fairly short. . . and in general the trouser cut will feature still a wider knee and a narrower cuff.
These little things mentioned above don't have to be sought with great diligence. Luckily, clothiers in college towns know about them before we do and are ready to supply them when demand arrives.
Next week we may be able to get around some other points of interest. For the time being, however, don't lose the key to that trunk where your overcoat is stashed. Tomorrow you may look like Christmas!
Former Students Called to Duty In Marine Corps
Three former students of the University have been called to active duty in the Marine Corps this week. All three hold second lieutenant's commissions in the Marine Reserve.
The three men reporting for duty this Thursday are Fen Durand, '39, Earl Radford, '40, and Bill McKinley, a junior in the college last year. They will report to Philadelphia for three months training before beginning actual service. All three live in Kansas City, Mo., at present.
Committees are now working on program plans. Anyone interested may attend the dinner, if possessing a 65 cent ticket.

Ingrid Frestadius Sends Letter From Sweden
One student directory address last year was "Stockholm, Sweden." Now that student is back in Sweden, and has sent a letter describing conditions there.
The girl is Ingrid Frestadius, Kappa Kappa Gamma, the blonde exchange student who quickly learned American customs of slang and coke-drinking, and painstakingly showed Jayhawkers how to ski.
In her letter, she told of the Swedish Christmas this year.
Of press censorship she said, "You have probably read that our press is dominated by Germany. I do not think that is right. We get United Press reports, Reuter telegrams, just as much as you do, and in editorials and political reviews the present political and military situation is discussed from a very objective point of view."
"We have had a very fine Christmas here with nothing essential lacking. Christmas eve we had the traditional "luffish"—something most Americans would call horrible stuff, I'm sure—and the rice porridge.
Sweden is trying to help her unfortunate neighbors. Ingrid wrote that "ready made houses" were being sent to Finland, and relief for Norway being collected.
"In the latter we have an almond and the one who gets the almond is supposed to be married within a year. Neither my sister Astrid nor I like rice porridge, but we were digging after the almond. Astrid got it."
