Tomorrow Seventh Shoxw To' Carry Out Dai ustom Semi-Annual Style Presentation Has Been Feature Of The Daily Since Its First Affair in 1939 Army And Summer Are Other Themes "All Eyes on You", the Daily style review which will be presented tomor- row, will carry on a tradition, estab- lished by the first show in November, 1938, of introducing new fashions to the Michigan campus., The records are rather spar as to this first attempt, but the second one was titled "Through the Looking Glass" and had all of thirty-one cam- pus beauties modeling in it. Bill Gail and his orchestra accompanied the models in the ballroom and the Grand Rapids Room of the League, while Marcia Connell, '40, was fashion commentator for the affair. Hair Was Uip ii '39 Acc6rding to the files, styles that season which seemed to take both the campus and the nation by storm were the chubby fur packets and the new up-sweep hair-do, now pretty much extinct except for evening wear. In the spring of 1940, May 3 to be exact, "Vanity Affair" the second Daily show was presented. Something new and different was added to this production by the indlision of several members of the cast of "Four Out of Five", year's Union Opera. These stalwart individuals modeled several of the latest styles, their intentions being to show the women in the af- fair the correct approach to fin- ished modeling techAni Ale. On Nov. 6, 1940, the "All Ameri- can Fashion Fantasy" was produced at the Michigan Theatre, and natur- ,. -ally its theme'-was" decidedly -patr- otic, Again Bill Gail and his band played for the affair and this time three lone males were included among the models.

"Summertime," Which was held on May 1,11941, provided several features in the way of new innovations. Music' by George Gershwin was played by Jack' La Iue, while Jeanne Crump, '42, and Bob Shedd, '42, acted as com- mentators. Michigan Men Inhibit Coed Campus Garb By BETTY HARVEY Why is the Michigan campus known as the inost conservative in the country as far as coed dress is concerned? Perhaps it is the loca- tion of the campus in a reactionary district but more thin anything; most of us feel that it is the conservative Michigan man which keeps the coed from adopting any extreme manner- isms in actions or dress. If a concensus of opinion were to be taken, an internal revolt would probably be found brewing. All of us have had a great desire at some time or other to desert the beaten track and express our personalities in our clothes or hair-dos. We Aim To Please And yet, any fad or slight extreme- ness is certain to be met with insist- ant boos and adamant objections from the male animal. Of course we aim to please . . . as is the way with the female of the species . . . so, year after year the Michigan coed dresses according to a pattern up- held by the unimaginative male. Don't misunderstand! We are not trying to suggest that we all be- come Josephine College and sport a galaxy of noisy apparel. What we are saying is that there is too much SAMENESSS around these parts. Dare To Be Different! If 'the coed would not be so terri- fied to be individual, to bring out Fashion Frills, Will Forego Knudsen Says Four Out Of Five Women Are Beautiful; At Michigan! Hardy, To Present William S. Knudsen, general direc- tor of the OPM, recently made an an- nouncement which may have possible effect on collegiate fashions. As 'part of the national program of simplifi- cation in regard to civilian conserva- tion of materials of defense, Knud- Fen stated that there would be ho lowering in quality but that frills must go! Along with that*vital (?) reduction of ice cream molds from 30 sizes to one, and the, reduction of large tube cast iron radiators from 33 to 17 varieties, trimmings will be curtailed and quality stressed as the defense program will endeavor to limit ,friv olous Dame Fashion to a simple, practical uniform. 1941 'Models Show Varled Style Trends Simplicity To Remain Keynote Of Smartness For Winter Wear; New Skirt Lengtls Are Shown By SHIRLEY RASKEY Silhouetted against the sky, of the fashion world are as many varied styles as there are personalities to wear them. From the smoothly sophisticated to the casually classic, every design forWinter '41 will feat- ure some new innovation. For daytime wear, smartness through simplicity may be obtained by the slim, sjraight line of a "hug- me-tight" dre ss. It features, as the name implies, a long, tightly fitted, bodice with a straight skirt. Long jacket costume suits are also mem- bers of the group. Skirt Lengths Vary From this style, the "sweater look" has ateeferiyed. It found in both daytime and evening dresses, the tops of which, fashioned from a knitted fabric, have a high rounded neckline and long tight sleeves. The more pretentious daytime or informal dinner dress has been given added flavor through variation of skirt lengths. The mid-length skirt has gained popularity during recent New York showings. Uneven hem- lines are once again being featured in smart shops throughout the coun- try. These are short in front and longer in back.. Stolen directly from the Ballet Russe is Mainbocher's dancing dirndl, for formal wear. The swirling skirt terminates just above the ankle. Coats Are Voluminous In direct reverse to the slim lines of the dresses, coats are voluminous with sleeves like tunnels. Turned- up cuffs are big news for the fur coat of '1. Wrap-around styles that' tie at the waist answer the formula for smartness. For all but the most cas- ual of occasions capes have main- tained their popularity. Even the classic sport dresses have been altered to some degree by th addition of deep armholes that reach almost to the waist. The dolman sleeves, in turn extend to just above the elbow. Whether you choose the new straight skirt or the standard flared skirt, the popular street length or the revolutionary mid-length, the fitted coat or the smart box-coat, simplicity still remains the keynote for smart- ness.' ft Your Face May Be Your Fortune; Aids To Beauty Will Help Someone once said that "your face is your fortune" and if this saying is true there is no time like the present to start cashing in. To smooth the path of your daily primping, it's a wise idea to try some of the minor beauty inventions and preparations of the day. As for you mouth - well - the latest beauticians have gone military on us with such lipstick shades as V-Red, Attention Red, All Clear Red and Victory Red. Keyed to the sea- son's military colors, these lip sticks make your mouth blend harmoniously with your dresses of West Point and camouflage gray.

Thirty Michigan beauties will model the clothes which college women all over the country will be wearing for class, for dates, for sports or for formal dances during the coming winter. To Provide Musical Background The mannequins will appear on the stage, then descend a ramp and walk down the aisles among the audience to the continuous music of Gordon Hardy, Spec. S.M.. and his orchestra, which will play for the display for the first time. All those who attend the show are entitled to a chance in the draw- ing of door prizes, which Will occur during the intermission.

This entire supplement, is you have perhapsnoticed, is being devoted to women and the stuff which is supposed. to make them- beautiful and al- luring and help them get a man now and then. fThis stuff is known as clothes.0 Consequently, we can see nothin' but t'o fall into line and write about clothes, too. Only 'e're going to write about the ones which do not makeC them beautiful and alluring. We're going to tell you about the clothes that' men hate; the things that make men curl up and die inside and make calm bread wagon horses shy in the open street. And don't say you've read all about this before; so have we, but we've got to have something to write about; The Old Line? This is the perfect setup to hand you the old line about dirty saddle shoes. But we won't do that either; we're going to give you the old line about knee-high socks, instead. It always happens, we know, in the fall. You get hold of one of them there copies of "Fraulein" cor a fashion magazine of a like nature and you ' lee one of those tall, slinky, typical-all-American type models in the suh-moothest pair of navy blue1 socks tufted in colored wool, mom, and they're oinly three-ninety-five. After You Get 'Em So you get 'em and your skirts are too long or your knees are too bony and pretty soon there you are ba'ck in the old stocking-and-ankle sock com- bine. Or even worse, when you get these ultra-new leg coverings on and I These four campus queens will model in the semi-annual style show, "All Eyes On You", at the Michigan Theatre tomorrow. They are Janice Benson, '42, Janet Stick- ney, '43, Katherine Klintworth, '45 and Anne Highley, '44. Post Visitors wear them for about a day and a half, fortably aware that there is only one you find yourself becoming uncom- I. other pair like them in town and those are being worn by some gal who might have been the best-dressed girl of Northeast Cornflake, Iowa, but who a} - will certainly win no prizes here. She wears these socks, incidentally, with semi-high-heeled shoes. For the rest of the season, the only time you even look at the things is when you get e) tangled up in them in the drawer as you fumble around for your ice skates.£ Just to pep up the pace of this dissertation-and it certainly needs it-we thought we'd take a short poll __ among four or five males to see whiat ?; .x+ their opinion 'was on what should be avoided in gal's clothes. And we think we have something really interesting. Every last one of 'em practically gagged when we mentioned hair-ribbons- and they weren't gasping with ecstasy, either. No Hair Ribbons They all think the hair ribbon idea is alright when you're young and weak and can't protect yourself from your mother's pet clothes ideas. But you're big girls, now, friends. You're in college and all that sort of bilge, and why you have to bink one of those coy things on your head, whether it be on top or on the side or behind your ear or between your teeth is more than they can see. So start considering before you put the next one on. 1 When you have a date (now don't get ex- cited girls; people still have 'em) and you come downstairs to meet the groom of the evening and you notice that his mouth is curling (a) up, or (b) down-take either, don't just judge Sthat he's been eating persimmons and let it go at that; examine your attire. If you have a babushka wranned around your head. that Get Lowdown By MARCIA ELKINS "It's a long way to Tipperary" and a longer way to Camp Shelby when you' can't wait to see your favorite catch of the draft. Even if it's only a week-end visit, you'll want to im- press him with thk fact that you know a little something about army regulations and etiquette. This is the time for you to be the belle of battery "B," for every man in uniform will consider it his personal duty to seethat you are madehappy. You'll get the rush of your life and have fun because when it's over, Ann Arbor will still be Ann Arbor. Wear Your Best! Unless a real ball has been planned, take only a dinner dress for evening and make it the smoothest one you own, for they go over big with the army. For day, you'll look and feel your best in nothing but spectator sportswear. If you're the athletic type there will be plenty of op~lor- tunity to display your talent so pack the necessities according to your de- sires. There's nothing so flattering to a captain as calling him a major, but there's nothing so embarrassing to you as calling a coldnel, a captain and besides it gives you the know-noth- ing-about-it label. Be smart and memorize this table before you board the train: One gold bar, Second Lieutenant. One silver bar, First Lieutenant. Two silver bars, Captain. One gold oak leaf, Major. One silver oak leaf, Lieutenant Colonel. One silver eagle, Full Colonel. One gold star, Brigadier General. Two gold stars, Major' General. It's Army Slang Never, never use slang the way the army does, but it helps to know what they're talking about when they speak of "jaw-bone" for instance. It's their way of saying they want credit. Jackets are blouses, trousers are slacks, and dress trousers are trous- ers. When they "carry the sword" they are officers of the day. And when they say they have to be back at the Post at eleven, there's no slang there; they have to be back at eleven! Let's hope they have a dress par- ade in your honor for you'll notice their branch of service'in the lining of their capes. Yellow is the Cavalry, blue is the Infantry, and red is the Artillery. You're off in a cloud of dust and military knowledge. Have a wonder- ful time but don't spend all of his elude two sweaters, a bottle of co- logne, sachet, a silk blouse, several pairs of nylon stockings, a ski blouse, and coupons which may be exchanged for reductions on two dresses and a hat when purchased by the winner. Song To Be Introduced Another attraction on the program will be the playing of a song from the forthcoming Union Opera, for which Hardy, a member of Mimes, is music chairman. "A Dream And I" by Hardy and Charles Bowen, '41, which was the hit of "Take a Num- ber", last year's Mimes presentation and which was also played at the Senior Ball in June by Glen Miller's orchestra, will be another musical selection. The theme of "All Eyes On You" will be carried out by a musical back- ground which will include all those songs whose titles contain the word ''eyes" that Hardy and the committee in charge of the show could think of. Such fayorites as "Green eyes", "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes", "I've Got My Eyes On You", "You're the Apple of My Eye", "Dark Eyes", and "Stars In My Eyes" will be included.

To Usher Tomorrow Those serving as ushers will be Jean Caldwell, '43, Mary Jean Czysz, '44,1 in. This has been made possible part- ly because raccoon pelts are cut' in strips now and not in squares. A lower priced fur that is also quite popular is mouton or South American lamb worn in safai'i or beaver brown. A clever mode shown lately for it is a jacket that swings in' back and is buckled in frorit with a broadcloth belt. Beaver Wears Well Of course, if you are a super pluto- crat endowed with plenty of maztna, sheared beaver costing from $400 to $600 is a good substantial addition to the old wardrobe. If $100 is just a measly mess of chicken feed to you, a snazzy fur-below (forgive us, we couldn't resist it) would be a white curly lamb reefer with a bright red lining and a little cap to match. In any case, when, as, and if you go to buy your coat, in order to get good quality, look for thickness of fur and not for length-thickness is, logically enough, what makes it warm. Long fur is apt to be thin and easily damaged besides being too heavy in proportion to the 'amount of warmth it gives. Look For Dyes As for dyes, you should take care that any skunk fur you may buy has a brownish tint, which means it has been tipped only, and not dyed. Rac- coon should not be brown, but sil- very. And of course you are- far more likely to get honest value from a rep- utable firm than frem some furtive individual who wants to sell "hot" furs at what he says is a fractionof what they are worth. Most often it's Muskrat Leads Thi*s Winter's, Fur Fashions Styles, With Raccoon, Skunk And Beaver, Must Be Practical And Attractive For Campus Use By ALICE FRETZ A fur coat,.though it must be mod- erately priced for the pocketbooks of . most college girls, is always a weighty investment and one that has to be considered for practicality as well as beauty. The most popular moderate priced furs this season among college women are mink-dyed muskrat, let out rac- coon, and tipped skunk. The first mentioned is perhaps the favorite be- cause it is both casual and dressy, and has not only led among students, but in 21 American cities among all classes of people as well.
