S
sies!' Cord-Wearing, Wild,
Wooley Westerners Call Us
;
I
l By CHARLES BAIRD
What is so rare as a pair of cords
in Ann Arbor? They just don't exist.
Of course, if you look long enough,
I you might find a pair hanging around
the Intramural Building, but for gen-
eral campus wear they are extremely
passe.
n Why is this? We don't know and
t we've always wondered. Not that we
t especially advocate them, although
r they do have their points, such as:
Comfort-after wearing a pair for
s six months they're practically part of
f you.
Economy - the original investment
is negligible, and the upkeep practi-
cally nothing. You just don't get 'em
cleaned. Not if you're a real he-man.
Looks- we can't say much about
this.
SThe probable answer is that Michi-
gan men are too particular in their
saitorial tastes to stoop to such
depths. Cords. Ugh! Not for me.
That for the pseudo-sophisticate.
But we have a secret suspicion that
down deep in the heart of the aver-
age student is a subconscious yearn-
ing to throw fashion dictates to the

Memory Work
Students need no longer utilize

cribbing in exams. Educators have
now realized the advantage of this
famous system, and invite their stu-
dents to bring all necessary data pos-
sible.
Prof. Arthur P. Scott, of the Uni-
versity of Chicago, believes that mod-
ern life is too complicated to stuff
the minid with, facts from books.
Therefore he asked all his students
to bring their textbooks and notes to
the June examinations.
They may consult these freely, and

jith the texts, the professor feels
sire that tho brief time allowed for
the examination will prove sufficient
for an swering the questions.

roy trousers. We wore them once and
we've never been quite the same
since.
Michigan students will never suc-
cumb to this yearning. Too deeply
intrenched is the tradition of dress-
ing "right," the style-setters of the
mid-west - is what we aim to be.
A noble ambition, but one which
received the derision of those men
from the wild and woolly west. Say
they - phooey on setting the style.
Phooey on all that's "right." Just
give us our cords.
And aren't they right in a way?
Slaves to fashion, uncomfortable as
it sometimes is - that's what we are.
The westerners would rather be slaves
to comfort.
And that is one of the reasons for
the modern adaptation of the slogan,
"Go west, young man, go west."

Utah, Colorado and many other west-
ern universities took to the cord.

to it.
Sport Clothes
Strong Point In
What To Wear
Majority Of Predictions On
Spring S ty l e s Concern
Jackets And Slacks
To say much about sport clothes
for this spring is to generally speak
of everything that men will wear, for
it will again be a sporting season with
odd jackets and slacks and sweaters
making up the majority of all men's
wardrobes.
Essentially, it is the time of year
when men look in their closet and
pull out the first jacket that is there
to drape on with their slacks. No fuss
is necessary and no debate as to
whether it will fit the occasion, for
if you own clothes of this nature they
are good for all occasions.-
Actually, there is very little change
this year from the styles that first
took this part of the country by

Corduroy trousers, sport shoes, shirt
open at the front and a suede jacket
- that's the average classroom wear
of the western student, but we're
not so sure it is exemplary.
Anyone who dresses up in an actual
suit there is a sissy. He's socially
ostracized. He just doesn't know hisI
way around. Their standards of dress
are entirely different from ours.
The well-dressed Michigan man i;
only considered that when he keeps
his suits cleaned and pressed. Out
West they compete to see who can
wear his cords the longest without
getting them cleaned or pressed. Ru-
mor has it that the marathon has
sometimes extended into years.
Their one ambition is to get their
cords so dirty that they will stand by
themselve's. Then they can leave
them standing by their bed at night
and just jump into them in the
morning.
Rips and tears are swell - they fa-
cilitate ventilation. It's a fact that
some ardent individuals wear their
cords so long that they ultimately
have to wash them off with a brush
and water. Either that or wear a new
pair over what's left of the old ones.
SHORTS FOR MEN
Men, long slaves to the tradition of
long pants in tennis, are taking up
shorts along with the women. One
number which is receiving popularity
is cream-colored corduroy shorts,
worn with a dark brown jacket of
medium weight.

and comfortable jackets, lines that are part of all the designs,

Among the prominent models of

Harris Tweed A Standby
One of these is a jacket of Harris
tweed and is always found in the1
wardrobe of the sportsman because of<
the multiple uses he finds for it. With'
the increased popularity of rougher
cloths during the past season, college!
men have been taking to them with
thanks, and there seems to be a de-
sire among most men to have a
tweed in their list. They wear indefi -
nitely and most people say that they
actually look better the older they
get. Dark sleeveless sweaters or a Tat-
tersall weskit add to the effect.
Slacks this year are even morej
prominent than they have been dur-
ing past seasons, the most outstand-
i ing being dark grey. Others that are
finding great favor, and that have,
incidentally, replaced the Glen plaids
of last season, are the houndstooth;
and shepherd checks. Generally,
slacks promise to be more colorful
than ever this year.

Good And Heavy Crepe
Soles Are Popular
One of the most popular models of
shoes that has been seen so far this
year is the brown buck with leather
soles and heels. It is the same shoe
that was so widely worn last year.
Of course, as far as Ann Arbor is
concerned, we have all seen demon-
strated that white shoes are still the
most popular type and will continue
to be -in fact they are so well-liked
by a number of men here that they
are worn all winter, and the dirtier
they get the better they are supposed
to look.
In spite of all this, however, they
will again be the most relable shoe
for all occasions this spring and sum-
mer. Their greatest advantage lies
in the fact that they can be worn
with any color clothes. Brown bucks,
which seem to be most in demand in
plain toes, are without a par when
worn with dark grey slacks and aj
brown jacket.
The heavy crepe soles that attained
such enormous popularity here since
the beginning of the school year are
also considered to be very smart and
are being worn extensively in all the.
style centers. They are available in
both brown and white buck and add
another note of hugeness to the gen-I
eral theme that men are following.
