Varsity and Law Party Tonight
Coeds Look To Spring Shopping
Coeds will soon toss their books in a corner and go home for Easter holidays to storm the stores to get new, light things to take the place of the heavy woolens they have been bundled up in for months.
Rayon faille slacks will meet the requirements for steak fries on three points: they are good looking, they are light in weight and they do not wrinkle easily. To go with the slacks are shirts, long or short sleeved, and shorts.
Gray flannel is going to be a must for Spring and Summer. A skirt of it will be almost as essential in a girl's wardrobe as a pair of gray flannel trousers is in her brother's, if the eastern campus predictions are right. The skirt can be paired off with shirts, cashmere sweaters, or if in a dressy mood, a silk blouse. To make the outfit complete a gray flannel cardigan can be added.
A new campus coat, the covert top-coat, will make its bow. It is as sleek, with its clean-cut outline, as a man's coat. Covert tan is a shade that goes with anything. It's crisp and Spring-like. Suits of covert, with jackets that come well over the hips, also have style.
For those first Spring dates the coed should have a navy lightweight woolen suit or an ensemble in sheer; to be worn either under the faithful winter coat which may have to be used a little longer. The navy must be trimmed with white. The practical girls will favor collar and cuffs that button onto dress or jacket.
Kappa Sig Meet Starts Tonight
For the first time in five years the district conclave of the Kappa Sigma fraternity will meet here tonight and tomorrow when fifty delegates from Nebraska, Missouri Baker, Kansas State, and Washburn meet to discuss the district leadership award.
The district leadership award which will be voted upon is a four year plan designed to aid the undergraduate in two of his major problems, to obtain the greatest benefit from his undergraduate life and to assist him in securing employment for which he is fitted on graduation.
The conclave will start with a smoker tonight at the chapter house. Meetings will occupy the Saturday. The conference will close with a banquet that night at which Chancellor Deane Malott and Paul McJimsey, district grand master, will be speakers.
Sixty per cent of Columbia University's graduates continue their studies in the University's advanced schools.—Northwestern News.
For a gay spring look try a short, wide skirt shown in the above suit. The skirt is a shower of pleats in shepherd's check. The blouse is white silk, the cardigan jacket, navy wool.

Just when we thought the epidemic had subsided, the news comes that the Satevepost is conducting a contest for "Confucianisms." And our loyal contributor, F.Y., in a deductive mood today, comments that the plague of wiscracks probably was started in China as a last resort to drive out the Japanese.

Delta Chi's To Be "Funny"
Little Abner and Daisy Mae and all their comic strip buddies will be seen at the costume party to be given tomorrow night at the Delta Chi fraternity chapter house. Members of the fraternity and their dates will throw off the ordinary dress and go to the party representing any thing from Blondie and Dagwood to the Shadow or the Spider.
