Here it is--that controversial plaid cum- merbund with matching plaid tie (left). Is it a passing fancy or will it last? We think it ' s here to stay—with the new single - breasted jacket worn by Al Thomas. It adds that gay note to an often otherwise dull and somber monkey- suit.

' Unita Bradshaw may not be a bookworm, but she ' s all booked up for male attention in her conservative checked wool jumper and wide velvet belt. Bob Shyne is the admir- ing male in a casual tweed sport jacket. College wouldn ' t be college without the sweater and skirt, but 1950 means a change even in this. The password is neat as exemplified by Pal Edson and Bob Sham (right),
