ER 21 1.959 THE MICHIGAN DAILY ~R 2, 1959 TUE MICHIGAN DAILY -- -Y-- Union Installs Heat System Muted Hues Mark Men's Clothes For Casual Campus Characters By PHILIP SHERMAN A cursory observEr might say the Michigan Union has been tor- pedoed, and the torpedo was a dud. Evidence seems to point to this: there is a big hole in the back of the building about ground level and a long cylinder lying on the deck inside. However, the cursory observer would be wrong. Frederick C. Kuenzel, general manager of the Union, said yesterday that the- Union was installing a new heat- ing-air conditioning system for 140 of its 183 guest rooms. Cut Hole in Wall The hole was cut to allow con- tractors to move in air-condition- ing machinery which will be erect- ed in the basement. Cost of the entire system, which includes installation of individual- Aly controlled -heating and cooling units in each of the, rooms will be $275 thousand, he added. Intent of the project, Kuenzel said, is -simply to provide better service for guests; since only Un- ion members or their own or Uni- versity-sponsored guests can stay at the Union, it is not a device to attract more business. Work started July 1 and was to be finished by Sept. 15, but the target date is now Oct. 22. Kuen- zel said all of the fourth floor n I 21 ' NN i By STEPHANIE ROUMELL The most important category of men's wearing apparel on this campus is and has been for some time sports wear, and there are some important changes in this facet of fashion this autumn. Most Michigan- men return to school well supplied with sports coats, shirts, sweaters, slacks and outerjabkets, and less supplied with suits, topcoats, hats, dinner Jackets and tuxedoes. For there are far more occasions here calling for comfortable dress than for formal. In sports coats this fall, fashion- ers say, ivy stripes are dead. Small checks and sharply-defined plaid patterns are the trend and brown, then gray, are the favored colors. A shetland check is considered ieally high fashion, and modified Norfolks and houndstooth pat- terned sport coats are especially good for our BMOC. Blazers Look Green Blazers are retaining their popu- larity this year with the new colors of olive and charcoal-green even outdoing the favored navy blue. And sweaters, men-the more you have, they say, the happier you are. This fall shetland wools in boatnecks instead of the classic crew neck are news. Also such de- partures from the conservative crew as wide wool shetland stripes, over-all plaids and shawl-collar cardigans in bulky knits are the trends. Especially good for warmth are the long - sleeved lamb's wool sweaters with deep chevron pat- terns in front. You -might really appreciate that fuzzy feel when you bicycle down for your eight o'clock some morning next month. Wool flannel slacks are nice to have besides the usual stock of khackies.

Slacks of high fashion are in muted plaid wool flannel. Recommended com- panion is a solid-color blazer., The wool stadium coat as an outerjacket gets plenty of use from football season on. The trend this fall, as in women's skirts and dresses, is toward a new shorter length. Smooth - surfaced tweedy fabrics, many stroked with sport fur and wool pile collars, are the popular ingredients for this coat. Its double-breasted version in a nubby wool of a brown-black mix- ture will make the wearer a true, attention-getting fashion plate. Unscathed Shirt Stays The only article of sportswear that has survived alteration in our changingfashion world is the shirt. It is still the basic button- down Oxford cloth in the same basic white and blue. So there is at least one article of clothing the Michigan Man did not have to buy new this year-and he can wear his least expensive part of his wardrobe with his new sports coats, flannel slacks and stadium coat. LIKE TORPEDO-Huge absorption apparatus for the new Union air conditioning system looks like a torpedo lying on the "deck"' of the Union basement. The machine is part of a $275,000 project for air conditioning most of the guest rooms. rooms, which are right now torn apart have been let on that basis. Take Down Ceilings The ceilings of the fourth floor, now a morass of tools and wet plaster, were taken down to put in ducts for the new system. The' heating units are located just above the fourth floor under the eaves, while the cooling unit football dance Union Ballroom, Saturday Night 9-12 $1.50 per couple Earl Pearson Orchestra -a steam absorption machine or "abortion machine" as the work- ers call it -- is in the basement. The wall had to be cut to install1 this machinery. The job supervisors said the heat absorption unit works just. like a gas refrigerator, cooling a! solution which circulates to the individual outlets.1 Erect Roof Tower A sheet-metal tower has been erected on the roof to act as a cooler for the absorber. Heat from the refrigerator is transferred to the water which is pumped up to the roof and cooled. In the winter, this is turned off and the heating units on the roof cut in and heat the circulating liquid. The liquid circulates to indi- vidual units in each of the rooms; the devices have individual con- trols. Fall Styles Incorporate Male Theme By KATHLEEN MOORE "Smooth sophistication" is the fashionable world's summation of their collegiate designs this fall. - Separates that blend together to give that one-piece look are sharing their, perennial spotlight with sprightly jumpers, smart simple dresses and suits that mimic the men's. Subdued men's wear worsted is sneaking into the coed's wardrobe in the form of subtly feminine suits pleasingly spiced with details borowed from the men on the borrowed from the men on the squarer shoulders and an easy fit are keys to the success of the style. Mixing metaphors is frowned upon, but following the same pro- cedure in fashion results in a charming combination of suit and dres. Coordinate a boxy tweed jacket with a simple wool dress or top a jersey shaft with a leather- trimmed jacket for the ,sophisti- cated look this season. For those casual occasions, the style setters again lend their hearty approval to the Chanel technique of pairing a straight or pleated skirt and the loose little jacket that's cut off short. Double dividends, particularly with this fall's high-style ver- sions, come to the jumper owner -after a long day on campus with blouse or sweater, it's quickly re- vived for date-wear with the sub- traction of a blouse anti the addi- tion of a dash of jewelry. A note of reassurance-sweaters and skirts will still be the staples in classroom clothes. p four campus requirements: shirt classics with new dash m "Hits you right between the ayes-... a challenge!" 0ei -N.Y.
