What was sitce for the 1929
glad girl has, the ever-recur
ring "eye', ofr fashion, become'
style for the • ',49 • collegian. At
least that IS the opinion 'of -Step
hanie Koret, San Francisco fash
ion designer. ;Merely "add a re
fined look; keep - the racoon - coat,
minus the loWered waistline, and
you have an accurate picture of
what Fall '49 silhouettes Will be,
Miss Koret adds. • '•
In her "American Classics" col
lection, designer Koret illustrates
the transition that has taken place
between the fdphion. "it" of yes
terday and the casual silhouette
of today. It's all back—the cloche,
the cropped hair-bob, and the
deep neckline..
The beads, and more beads, of
'29 are' pearls and pearls only. On
her "miracle"' fabric, nylon shirts
and blouses, Stephanie Koret
uses pearl buttons extensively to
create an elegant look. Especially
striking, Miss Koret comments,
are nylon 'blouses with buttons
of pearl that carry gleaming
rhinestone center, Miss Koret
thinks.
Overblouse
The overblouse, or "jersey" as
they called it twenty years ago,
is now cropped in at , the waist
line, for a flattering curved look.
The fabric is pure wool jersey,
clinging •for the '29 look,
"worsted" for '49 wearibility.
Some styles feature diagonal
stripes that are actually •sewn in
for the sharpest possible color
contrast. Others haVe bright
yokes and convertible plunging
necklines.
Elaborate trims are today con
fined, and take the shape of
either Unusual "stitching treat=
ments,". or is woven into the
fabric itself. Billowy shirtmaker
sleeve cuffs and tiny collars are
"crinkled" and "puckered" into
soft, graceful patterns. Another
example of '29 styling enhanced
by. '49 designers is the cord
stitched- trim, with which Miss
Koret studs her waistbands, even
rows of stitching that add a:con
trasting texture - look. ,
Pleated Skirt
The pleated skirt is back too.,
Some start at the hip, and bunt
from there, a la '29, in a fan of
knife" pleats that form an •inter
esting geometric pattern. Special
interest is 'effected when this
style is . interpreted i striped
pure wool. Other, pleated skirts,
accordian-style, 'flutter out from
a cinched waistline and are car
ried all the way around the skirt.
"Hipbone" jackets and cardigan
necklines, both the "rage" in an
other era, are important in the
"travel-everywhere" jacket. Step
hanie Koret fashions an ultra
smart separate in hipbone length,
with cardigan neckline, in wear
able velveteen.
Economy Advantage
One '49 advantage of the "time
less" styles according to Miss
Koret, is in economy, for sepa
rates or "pair-offs", are the en
sembles, and multiply the new
silhouette into styles and ideas
that, a '29er would never have
dreamed. For example Miss
KOret cites velveteen and wool
jersey, flannel and tweed, all

a good season is fair. " •
TEMPLE—New Head 'Coach Ray Morrison faces a tough job
in rebuilding. the Owl'S single ; wing into the terrible-T what with
a rough schedule in sight. Will probablY be outmanned by every
opponent team.. Bright spots include Gene Catherinam, right half;
Ralph Hansen,, left half; , Steve Packowskki, guard, Paul Maguire,
center. Expect trash help from Bob Barbeik, 'guard, Paul Maguire,
fullback, and. Billy Hoar, .quarter.'
PITTSBURGH—UsuaIIy plays• its beSt gime of the season

Panthers
• in the face of such sterling opponents as Indiana and
Purdue in '4B and Northwestern, Ohio State' and Miruiesota—of
the Big 9-this. Fall. . • . • ,
Major problein appears •to be to find adequate replacements
for ends Bill MCPeak and LeO Skladany. • '
In 1912, 50 coeds were enrolled
at the College along with 1811
men. The present' enrollment Is
1400 coeds to 6900 men.'
Organized gym classes .began
in• 1893 with coeds donning heavy
blue wool serge bloomers, middy
white tennis shoes. • ,
mated to blend with a galaxy of
other Fall fabrics.
If designer Koret is correct we
rather guess that a lengthy period
of hibernation for- college coeds
might ensue.
