The skirts will be pencil-slim and longer than they've been since Ma and Pa were the youngsters. in the annual march of. fashions.. Jackets Command Attention Jackets will command the most attention, even overshadowing (we hesitate to sa‘y this) hats, the usual topics of diScussion among parad ers land spectators. Bustles, pleats, belts, and ifithbacks will stand out in your mind long after the gals have disappeared into the churches. But don't get us wrong. Easter bonnets will always be the symbol of spring and this year is no ex ception. Last year milady proudly displayed a few flowers on a little hunk of straw as Jhe joined the parade, but not so this year. Bigge r the Better The bigger, the better 'is the rule for hats, say the authorities, and you'll find that the women aren't arguing. Large-brimmed or high crowned, her !chapeau will be be decked. with flowers, ribbons, or feathers so even if the crocuses aren't out, Easter Sunday won't lack color.

The question of what would happen to moral behavior when men and women were in the same classes and housed in the same building was presented by the authorities. For in the early days of the College, classrooms, offices and dormitories all were in huge, six-storied Old Main building.

Is it natural that they should be given the same courses?" But coeds were here to stay and were rapidly winning their fight for equal rights.
