Coeds Voice Protest to Male Clothes
The male of the species has always had the pleasure of wearing the brightest and best plumage according to naturalists, but it doesn't follow that the fine feathers always meet with the approval of the females.
Men may find, much to their surprise, that some of their fads are not admitted by coeds. A questionnaire submitted to a number of University women shows that all have a pet peeve when it comes to men's college clothes.
Corduroy trousers in general and dirty "cords" in particular, proved to be the most hated item. MAR-GUERITE JONES, b'40, in addition to dulking dirty cords, wants men to keep their saddle shoes clean. VIRGINIA HOUSTON, e'42, looks askew at the popular corduroy campus hats and the crew hair cuts worn under them.
The next thing that gives the girls the most trouble is men's color combinations. MARILOU MILLER, ed'41, says, "I hate to see trousers of one plaid worn with a coat of another plaid." CECIL KING, c'41, Harry Hill's favorite sports writer, thinks men have no sense about color combinations but adds optimistically, "I do think they are getting more conscious about their clothes now days." MARY LOU RANDALL, c'41, dismisses the combination business by saying, "I hate plaids and checks."
Men may think that clearness in a shirt is the most important thing but women hold out for more. VELMA WILSON, c'40, has an aversion to printed shirts, besides disliking two-tone shoes. JEAN WERNER, fa'42, in addition to lothing suspenders, refuses to look with favor upon dark shirts worn with suits. They must be white, says she, HELEN HEARD, c'41, dislikes gaudy shirts and any shirt without a tie. JEAN DONELAN, c'42 guesses "men's clothes are okay," except for ties that violate all laws of color harmony. JEAN TALBOTT, c'40, isn't so apathetical about the subject. She says, "I hate bow ties, in fact they nauseate me."
RUTH SPENCER, c'41, dismisses comfort with, "Although they may be warn, I can't stand those duck hats with bills worn with ear muffs."
Don't give up hope men; although the coeds may criticize parts of your wardrobes and hurt your feelings about those beloved corduroys, the general census of opinion is that you are improving in your taste.
