THE I~~ACHGND.AL PA Zi A Suit Stuff Will Feature New Styles Of Local Stores. THE MIAHI4AALDX.PY P A Hint To 4ll Sandbaggers Even You Can BeSmooth, In SpiteOf Priorities Entire Campus Is Invited To Attend Show; Gould Will Act As Announcer 'Special' Clothes Will BeHighlight The main ballroom of the Union will have boiled shirt and white tie atmosphere at 8 p.m. today when Zoot Suit Stuff, all men's style show, starts cookin' on the front burners. Everybody carrying more than two hours (pigmy jargon not included) may consider themselves having been sent an engraved invitation, and so, walk rght in. Coeds are just as wel- come as men, because ahy style show without women-even as spectators -would be a hollows pitiful thing. A little man with a big voice, Doug Gould, will emcee the show, ex- plaining to the sure-to-be-gaping audience just what they are seeing. Pointing out the hidden stitches which are unable to hide from his 20- 20 vision, Gould will present in de- tail just what constitutes a well dressed man. Tommie Snyder's orchestra will provide the music for the show, and suitable background will be provided for every outfit. (Gould, who has been practicing, assures us that his voice will ring clarion clear above the soft melodies.) Contributors of the clothes to the show are Van Boven's, Wild, Wagner and Saffel and Bush. As representa- tive campus clothiers, they will cut the audience in on what Michigan men should have worn to be elected BDMOC and prove that it is still not too late to get out and secure the needed additions to your wardrobe. In addition to the store clothes, several decadent stooges to Fu Man- chu now studying the art of inhaling opium fumes, will present their ver- sions of what people with clothes on should look like. They have been denounced by all reputable sewers of the cloth, but it seems the Union owes them money for scaring wo- men away from the front door when George is not on duty. Zoot Suit Stuff is well worth seeing on account of what men will thrill to its tangy goodness and women will thrill to its men. Army Takes All Rubber- No Raincoats To the list of war casualties should be added the rubber raincoat, but style-conscious Michigan men will hardly notice the loss. Even before recently developed pro- cesses created water-proof fabrics that could seriously compete with rubber and oiled-silk as rain protect- ors, the superior eye-appeal of gab- ardines and twills had led to their wide-spread use. Most popular coat is the fly-front- ed gabardine job in a natural shade, with plenty of pockets, and with rag- lan and set-in sleeves apparent equally desirable. In response to the increased tendency to wear raincoats in all weather, slashed pockets have been patched and the more attractive set-in affair has been made roomier and More comfortable. But with rubber on priorities, fnd the Army seizing all the gabardine, the future looks mighty damp. Oiled- silk slickers, which have successfully stood the test of time and the ele- ments only to flunk the stern trial of fashion, may be an acceptable sub-, stitute, but there is no knowing whe- ther present stocks of oil will be re- plenished. Here are the people you'll be looking at when Zoot Suit Stuff makes its grand entrance at 8 p.m. today in the main ballroom of the Union: For a laugh, Jane Connell (how did she get in an all male style show?) and Hal Cooper. And the models are Jim Kehoe, Jeff Solomon, Dave Robertson, Bob Shirrel, Ed Orr, Jerry Ostrow, G. B. Shirtoff, Lyons Howland, Richie Rawdon, Don Folkman, Murray Markland, Ted Sharp, Hank Wolf, Fred Marble, Bob Vib- bert, Jim Snodgrass and Dick Ros- enbloom. White Marks Latest Trend In For mals Although the traditional gradual change in formal fashions has been interrupted this spring by the en- forced popularity of olive-drab gab- ardine, it would be well for discrim- inating individuals to check up on their dress clothes. Winter tuxedos and tails are still being worn for spring dances, and I are very acceptable, but light jackets with black or midnight blue trousers will be seen more often than ever before. The trend, which turned slightly away from white to beige and blue-gray last year, is definitely back to the more serviceable white. The war has blitzed all double breasted jackets, but there is still a large supply on hand. The double- breasted' coat in the modified drape model with a plain shawl collar will probably continue to be the most popular jacket, although it is ex- pected that the single-breasted affair will stage a comeback. Mat'erials will depend somewhat on income. Wool-gabardine makes a handsome but very costly coat, so that spun rayon and a washable cot- ton fabric will be used. Shirts are of the soft-bosom two- stud variety, with a pleated plain or pique front, and with attached collar. 1 As always, spring brings the old itch to slip into a new suit, to bolster your deflated ego by the realization that you lookreally smart. And manufacturers aren't neglecting this natural desire, in spite of national defense and all of its ramifications. There's still a fine selection of suits for all occasions, and the wise man will get in on this while the getting is good. Now a few tips to the college man who wants to be truly well dressed this spring: Everything is offered, from the colorful comfort of the Shetland sport suit to the smooth simplicity of the tropical worsted. Patch pock- ets are leaving the market. as direct- ed, and lines will be, straighter for the duration, but there is certainly no cause here for alarm. Vests al- ways outlasted their partner pieces anyway, so let the government check+ off a mere bother. Coats are long this year, but with+ the center vent there's trimness plus added comfort. Roll your lapels to the second button on your single-+ breasted suit and show that you know the score and that warm weather to come will incite only a snicker up the proverbial sleeve. These hints past, we move on to the more specific topic of materials which run down a long line to'meet every occasion and taste. Shetland wools are as popular as ever, with something new coming in this season in the way of color, the covert shades. There are also weaves of every description-diagonals and herringbones making up a great part of the selection. 141E , Ih a " y S .r' ' ' T'his is just a gentle hint to all sandbaggers hat with spring in the air they have no business grinding away during daylight over books.
