According to a recent survey
conducted by a student as a pro-
motion stunt for a clothing manu-
facturer, tall, handsome men in
white coats will soon replace tie-
less, jeaned engineers on this com-
pus.
Hank Steck, the student who
r undertook the survey, worked in
connection with the National
Youth Panel, which is the campus
approved division of the Fashion
Bureau in New York City.

SEVERAL QUESTIONS w e r e
asked students enrolled in the
University. These same questions
are being put to men at Yale,
Princeton, the University of Vir-

versity by representatives of the
Panel.
Steck asked five young men
to recommend these white coats
as a part of the promotion.
The group of five, including
Chuck Ortman, Chuck Murray,
Bob Vogt, Jim Mitchell and Bob
MacGregor received white jackets
free of charge as a token of ap-
preciation for their cooperation.
THE JACKETS are a new idea
in men's clothing. Lightweight
and serviceable, they are made in
the traditional sport coat style,
but may be worn as dinner jackets
as well as for sports wear.
Being promoted by the Na-
tional Youth Panel, the coats
are lauded by the Fashion Bu-
reau independently of any one
clothing manufacturer. T h e
panel feels that the coats will
become very popular in the near
future.
Steck interviewed several loqua-
cious members of the male popula-
tion on campus. He told them
about the coat,showed it to them
and then asked their opinion about
it.

TYPICALLY, the chains on their
wallets rattled as they answered
that the cleaning expenses would
be rather high for such a white
jacket.
Pete Johnstone stated, "I
doubt if campus men generally
will buy the coat because of fi-
nancial considerations."
Generally, the initial cost of the
coat is not high, so Johnstone evi-
dently means that the upkeep
might be somewhat expensive.
JIM BREMER also agreed with
Johnstone when he said, "They
(the jackets) look neat and match
-Daily-Burt Sapowitch
"MAN OF THE WORLD" - Coeds seem unanimous in their
approval of the new white coat fashions for men. Chuck Ortman
and Chuck Murray are pictured wearing the new jackets which
are tailored in the traditional sport coat style but may substitute
for dinner jackets as well as casual wear. The main objection
raised by prospective wearers concerned the problem of constant
upkeep in addition to the moderate initial cost.

any trousers, but the 'cleaning bill
may be slightly high."
Another reason against the
wearability of the coat on this
campus is the weather.
Pat Ross and R. A. Humes felt
that "the season for white coats in
Ann Arbor is rather short."

THE SEASON for anything in
Ann Arbor but warm raincoats is
rather short.
'They are definitely a luxury
in a mid-western university,"
stated Bill Albrecht.
However, white bucks are going
out of style, and coeds will not be
able to designate fraternity with-
out some distinctive type of wear-
ing apparel.

GIL OSNOS skirted the finan-
cial question tactfully when he
said," They probably will get dirty
too easily."
Ned Miles was the only student

polled who thought that the
coats were to informal
Coeds, however, were in almost
unanimous favor of the white
jackets because of their neat,
'man-of-the-world"sappearance.
In only one respect were the
women worried about the fashion
change to the casual white coats.
For many years the fashion
world has been theirs, and the as-
pect of men confiscating their
feminine characteristic of love for
change in fashion was not too
pleasing.
Perfumes
Perfume has long been famous
as a gift. If the lucky recipient puts
off using it because it is so delici-
ous, she is doing nothing but wast-
ing sweetness; once opened, per-
fume slowly evaporates, and light
and heat may spoil the perfect
balance.
