' 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),

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. However, Bob Shyne isn ' t so sure —he ' s remaining conservative. Who cares if the sun don ' t shine, when you have a bright yellow slicker like this one worn by Betsy Bowers (right). Matching yellow sou ' wester has a brim that widens in back and sheds water like a duck ' s back. Betsy ' s boots are also yellow with a plaid lining that turns down to make a gay cuff. Defying the heavens is Bill Frizzell, who wears the very popular and functional trenchcoat. rj Suits have been and always will be good for any occasion. This year the informal, tai- lored suit has been dressed up by the addition of a velvet collar and buttons, Connie Maus (right) knows the im- portance of accessories, and adds a pearl choker and pearl earrings to bring out the rich- ness of the velvet collar. In spite of the young lady ' s gaze, Bill Frizell looks collected and comfortable in his double- breasted worsted suit and regimental-striped tie.

Page 14 Football, American food, and root beer amazed Rudi Hofman, Gisela Poch, and Ekke- hard Wicher (left to right), three German ex- change students. Ekkehard, in fact, drank root beer for the first time while he was in Harlem. It tasted like toothpaste, he commented, but I like it. New York proved so fascinating that a ten-minute stroll turned into a three hour tour from 124th Street to 41st. This young architect from Wiesbaden thinks Kansas is much nicer than New York, although he ' d heard that no grass grows in the state, only corn . Both eating and preparing American food interests Gisela Poch, who, living at Miller Hall, takes her turn at cooking and menu planning. Pretty and vivacious, this English major from Dusseldorf enjoys the university advantage of close con- tacts with other students. Rudi Hof- man (left) was impressed by the practical education in journalism afforded by a school newspaper in comparison to the more classical emphasis in Europe. Football games, the band, cheerleaders, and the spirit of the team, were hard to un- derstand at first, but Rudi hasn ' t missed a game.
