THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDA 'roblems of Travel Great, deed To Observe Etiquette Natural, Comfortable Look Latest in Men's Suits O 4I By MIKE HARRAH With summer approaching comes the possibility of traveling; and' with travel one is faced with the perennial problem of tipping. Etiquette experts claim that manners away from home are best revealed in tipping procedures. On ships, planes and trains there are definite rules to be followed. Just before disembarking from a 'ship and beginning to tour, a passenger should tip the room steward, table steward, head-wait- er, wine steward, and deck and bath stewards. Tipping rates are becoming more and more standardized. According tio one expert, the steward who has taken care of your room, the table steward, and the head wait- er expect to receive between $7.50 and $10.00 per person. Tip Later Tipping deck stewards, bath stewards, cabin boys and the "boots" may be done at the timef of service or at the end of the voyage. They usually receive one dollar or more depending on the amount of service rendered. On most ships the chief steward is classed as a ship's officer and as such, is never tipped. For those traveling by plane the problem is not so complex. All members of the flight crew have professional status and are not tipped. Airplane Travel When you arrive at your desti- nation the airlines provide porter service from the plane into the checkout area. These are staff porters and are not tipped, but porters (sky caps) who take over from them should be tipped ap- proximately 25 cents per bag. Train Travel Train travel involves tipping the red caps in the station as well as the porter and steward in the din- ing car. In most terminals red caps receive a minimum of $.25 per bag and more where service has been prompt and courteous. 'II - BOOKS - Looks of clothes are important, but the really important thing is that they feel right as they are worn. The trend in suits is toward the "natural" look. Americans all over want to feel comfortable in what they wear. And feeling comfortable is most important, for only if one feels comfortable in his clothes will he look "natural." Suits are being tailored to meet the demand. Padded shoulders are giving way to the shoulders which slope naturally. The coat which fits close *to the bdy bows to the coat which drops comfortably straight down. Smart tailoring, while still important, has taken a back seat to comfort. Want Moving Room Americans like a lot of room for movement. Clothes which are too fitted just don't have popular ap- peal in this country. English tai- loring and styles will some effect on American suits, but, in general, the "natural" look will prevail. It's the style that everyone wants. The most popular suit for the coming season is a three piece summer suit of dacron and cotton. Suitable for wear during nine months of the year, this suit is lightweight, but still practical for early spring and late autumn. Demand Darker Colors Thergreatest demand is for the darker, solid colors in this suit. Soft plaids and muted stripes are also popular, but the trend is now getting away from the brighter, flashier colors and combinations. In lightweight suits, principally for summer wear, the cotton and dacron, wash-and-wear outfit con- tinues to be in demand. Its com- plete versatility for every occasion makes it a popular outfit, espe- cially for students, who can often make good use of its "wash-and- wear" features. Cotton Searsucker Popular Cotton searsucker, a time re- vered stand-by, never loses its ap- peal for wear in spring and sum- mer. Lightweight and soft, it feels and looks comfortably cool in sea- son, making it a favorite in all parts of the country for young and old .alike. For late summer and autumn ,wear, a combination of linen and dacron is the latest thing. Because of its linen base, it holds a beauti- fully tailored freshness through- out the long autumn days. Light- weight, but still warm, it will see good use in autumn, when the temperature can vary greatly in the course of day. I Collins: Complete Field Guide to American Wildlife .............

Naturally, wash and wear fabrics are the most popu- lar, blue and white being leading colors. Most managers agreed that though the April surge of business is largely attributable to the Ea- ster holiday, a boost has been provided by the upcoming spring social events on campus. In par- ticular, two very popular items, the boat neck sweater and the deck pants, or beachcombers, seem to be de rigueur apparel for some types of fraternity affairs. Sandals are in the same category, to a less- er extent. or grey, it results in many attrac- tive and striking color combina- tions for the coming season. Formal-Wear Constant Formal wear varies little from year to year. The most popular outfit is, of course, the traditional tropical worsted slack in black or midnight blue, with a white din- ner jacket. The white dinner jacket, always single-breasted with the shawl collar, comes in many different materials, including the expensive raw silk. Madras and batik dinner jackets have also recently gained acclaim. Spring has sprung, and the na- tion changes its style of dress to fit the requirements of the season. In the past, the "Continental" look, the "Ivy League" look have been high on the scene. This year, however, the trend is toward the middle ground. The "natural look" combination of all the fads and extremes is sweep- ing the nation this spring. + iM Colors Always Changing T aperedut Colors are ever - changing in popularity.

Blended or mixed with blue By JOHN ROBERTS An increased use of gold and olive, but no revolutionary depart- ures in style is the forecast for male fashions this spring. The only major innovation is the use of India Madras fabrics in items ranging from sports jack- ets to hatbands. Madras is a mot- tied-looking, felt-like cloth home- spun on primitive looms and im- ported from India. Asno two pieces are exactly alike, clothing made from this fabric has a distinctive unique- ness which will appeal to the in- dividualist. The authentic, vege- table-dyed colors are guaranteed to run. Gold, Olive Popular The stampede to gold and olive is most pronounced in shirts and trousers, with some influence also observed in sports jackets. Most store managers connect the use of the new colors to the general trend away from conservatism in dress which has been discernible, particularly among the younger men. The past few seasons have seen the inicreased acceptance of pas- tels, knitted collars, and cuffless pants, thus ending the days when a clothier could get by with noth- ing in stock except grey flannel. It was agreed, however, that men are still by far the drabber half of the species. Demand for Continental In trousers, a few stores hope- fully observe a rising demand for the continental style, but there I I, was some pessimism as to the per- manancy of this fashion. The most popular type of trouser was the wash-and-wear orlon and wool worsted Hopsack, with a pattern of basketweave or checks ranging from muted to very pronounced. 1 Checks in general are making a strong comeback, as are stripes. suits, both cord and patterned, Wash and wear dacron - cotton are among the more popular items. Predictions indicate a heavy swing to beige in suits of this type. 347 Maynard St. Ann Arbor on the Campus-- Across from Municipal Parking Garage A No two pieces of hand- crafted India Madras are ever exactly alike.
