(Author of "Barefoot Boy With Cheek," oto.) CLOTHES MAKE THE BMOC A few weeks ago I discussed fashions for coeds. I pointed out then that any girl who really wanted to go places on campus had to be bold and Ingenious when it came to clothes. This is no less true for the male student. Believe me, men, you'll never get anywhere'if you keep skulking around in those old plus-fours. What you need is some dash, some verve, some inventiveness in your apparel. Don't be imprisoned by the traditional conservatism of men's clothing. Brighten up your appearance with a single earring, or a cavalry sabre, or a sold derby. However, guard against gaudiness. If, for instance, you are wear ing a gold derby, do not also wear a cavalry sabre. This is too much. Wear a dagger instead, or, for informal occasions, a Bowie knife. (Speaking 'of Bowie knives, I wonder how many of you know what a' great debt this country indeed, the whole world owes to the West Point class of 1836? You all know, of course, that Colonel James Bowie of the Class of 1836 invented the Bowie knife, but do you know of the many other important contributions to cutlery that were made by classmates of Colonel Bowie's? Are you aware, for example, that Colonel Harry Clasp invented the Clasp knife? Or that Colonel Harry Jack invented the Jack knife? Or that Colonel Harry Putty invented the Putty knife? Or that Colonel Harry Cannon invented the towel? By. a curious coincidence, every member of the graduating class at the U. S. Military Academy in 1836 was named Harry, save for Colonel James Bowie. This coincidence is believed unique in the history of American education, though, of course, quite common in Europe.) • But I digress. We were talking about men's campus fashions. Let us turn noW to a persistent rumor that a garment called the "suit" is on the verge of making a comeback. Some of you older students may remember the "suit. ' It was an ensemble consisting of a jacket and trousers, both of which this'll kill you both of which were made out of the flame material! The last "suit" ever seen on an American campus was in 1941 and I ought to know, because I was wearing it. Ah, 19411 Well do I remember that melancholy year. I was an undergraduate then and in love—hopelessly in love, caught in the riptide of a reckless romance with a beauteous statistics major named Harry Sigafoos. (She is one of the two girls I have ever known named Harry. The other one is her sister.) I loved Harry though she was far too expensiiie a girl for me. She liked to eat at fancy restaurants and dance at costly ballrooms and ride in high priced cars. But worst of all, she was mad for wishing wells. It was not unusual for her to drop coins into a wishing well for two or three hours on end. My coins. Bit by bit I sold off my belongings to pursue this insane courtship— first my books, then my clothes, until finally I was left with nothing to wear but a "suit." One night I came calling for her in this garment. "What is that?" she gasped, her lip curling in horror. "That is a 'suit' " I mumbled, averting my eyes. "Well, I can't be seen around campus with you in that," said she. "Please, Harry," I begged. "It's all I've got." "I'm sorry," she said firmly and slammed the door. I slunk home and lit a Philip Morris and sat down to think. I always light a Philip Morris when I sit down to think, for their mild vintage tobacco is a great aid to cerebration. I always light Philip Morrises when I don't sit down to think too, because Philip Morris is my favorite cigarette, and I know it will be yours too once you try that crazy vintage tobacco. Well sir, smoking and thinking thus, my eye happened to fall on an ad in the campus newspaper. "WIN A COMPLETE WARD ROBE" said the ad. "Touhy's Toggery, the campus's leading men's store, announces a contest to pick the best dressed man on campus. The winner of the contest will receive r absolutely free, a blue hound's tooth jacket, a yellow button-down shirt, a black knit tie, a tattersall vest, gray flannel trousers, argyle socks, and white buck shoes with two inch crepe soles." My mouth watered at the thought of such a splendid wardrobe, but how could anybody possibly pick me as the best dressed man on campus —me in my "suit"? Suddenly an inspiration struck me. I seized pen in hand and wrote a letter to the editor of the campus newspaper: "Dear Sir, I see by the paper that Touhy's Toggery is going to give a complete wardrobe to the student picked as the best dressed man on campus. What a ridiculous idea! "Obviously, to be the best dressed man on campus, you must first have a lot of clothes. And if you have a lot of clothes, what do you need with another wardrobe? "Touhy's Toggery should give a new wardrobe to the worst dressed man on campus. Me, for instance. I am an eyesore. There isn't a crow in town that will come near me. Three times this month the Salvation Army salvage truck has picked me up. Esquire has cancelled my subscription.' "I submit that a vote for me is a vote for reason, a vote for equity in short, a vote for the American way." With a flourish, I signed the letter and sent it off, somehow feeling certain that very soon I would be wearing a complete new wardrobe. And I was right because two weeks later I was drafted. ©Max &M w, INN This column is brought to you by the makers of PHILIP MORRIS who think you would enjoy their cigarette.
