More Spring Cloths--- Spring to Offer Men A Variety of Fashions
Ry Bill Koester, c'41
Present weather conditions notwithstanding, "spring," with its lazy sunbeans, verdant countrytides, and balmy breezes, is nearly here; yes, even in Kansas. Spring clothes are here, and in the interest of the men, we'll look at some masculine sports outfits—in case the coming steak fry date might be more successful with the aid of a little sartorial attraction.
Ensembles—and if you didn't know they're going to ride the crest of popularity this spring—offer men more leeway this year than ever before for being unconventional in clothing choices. Neat numbers feature the lightweight poplin sport shirt (in colors of sunset green, tan, midnight blue, brown, and cream)
in full body designs with short or long sleeves, zipper pocket, and contrasting buttons; and the slacks (necessarily a part of the ensemble) have introduced in trouserwear the saddle-stitched seams and pocket edges formerly common only in coats. Other materials are gabardine, Palm Beach, Cavalry twill, and worsteds. Some shirts may be acquired in lighter material than the slacks, such as ponjee, without a difference in color.
For the zenith of splendor in more
complete combinations here are some good what-to-wear hints: For open-air driving a gray-and-cream plaid coat, maroon sport shirt, sunset-green light covert slacks, maroon sox and kerchief, and brown and white saddle shoes. Or for afternoon "coking" and dancing, try a light tan camel's hair jacket with chestnut brown slacks (aqua green is a nifty compliment); sox, tie, and kerchief of matching green; and a predominantly white shirt—stripes might be in green or brown. Another good blend could be achieved with an "Army pink" gabardine jacket, dark or squirrel-brown worsted slacks, pastel green shirt, and sox, tie and kerchief of aqua green. Clever variations in these combinations can be obtained with a bit of experimentation.
Hats—well, you know what class has been injected into spring models. Rustic colors in brown and green, with offshades such as light olive, turquois, and gray, are offset with dark "turban" pleated cloth bands of loud colors. Crush effects feature plain-pie and pork-pie crowns—and incidentally, the wide brims top them off smoothly.
Yes, "Spring has 'came'", to be both grammatically and pleasingly crude.

Johnston Is the New Alpha Chi President
By Virginia Gray, c'41 Kansan Society Editor
In spite of the slow, dismal rain and overcast sky, sent across the Hill by inconsiderate gods today, the socially minded Jay-hawk kept his well curled tail feathers out of the dampness and quietly polished his finger nails in anticipation of the Pan-Hellenic party Friday night. Well does the wise bird know that a bid to the Pan-Hel is a chance to mingle with the Hill's select "white tie and tail" brigade.
