THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
LA Council
To Revise
'Lantern'
Liberal Arts Student Council
decided Monday night to revise
the format of The LA Lantern, a
publication for Liberal Arts stu
dents.
Jacqueline Hudgins, editor of
the magazine, suggested to the
council that the publication be
made a literary magazine since
student interest in the magazine
within the college was at a low
ebb last year. She felt that with
the change interest would be
more widespread throughout the
University.
The Lantern, a subsidized issue
printed twice yearly, will con
tinue with its present name and
will remain an informational
publication for Liberal Arts stu
dents. The editor said that under
the new format creative writing,
which would have more appeal
for students of other colleges of
the University, would be accepted
from all students.
Helena Moraio, junior in arts
and letters, from Riverside,
Conn., was appointed chairman of
an elections committee to plan
balloting for council members to
be held in conjunction with All-
University elections in the fall.
Others serving on the commit
tee are Judy Gropper, Robert
Nurock, Thomas Hollander and
Sylvia Fish.
Other committees appointed
were: coffee hour, George Buck
hout, chairman, Judy Hartman
Stanton Selbst, Rhoda Resneck,
George Wills, and Sylvia Fish;
and faculty reception, Alan Dash,
chairman, Helena Moriao, and
Rhoda Resneck.
Next council meeting will be
held at 8 p.m. Oct. 3 in 103 Wil
lard.

Style Notes
‘Slim’ Styles Are
Fashion Leaders
By INEZ ALTHOUSE
Daily Collegian Society Editor
It's the "slim look” for women this fall, say
and the latest fall creations are accenting this
the female figure.
Fall suits, for example, have
waist, with very slim skirts. And
even thinner this year than be
fore Jumpers, too, are becoming
more popular in the pencil-slim
sheath
ivy green is the favored fall
color, with charcoal brown grow
ing in popularity. The black watch
plaid, a style leader this summer,
now has a partner in the new
brown watch plaid.
A practical and pretty outfit
for the coed is the dyed-to-match
skirt and sweater separates.
Poplin Raincoats
In rainwear, the tan poplin
coat seems to be making inroads
into the fashion world. Slickers
are still popular, too, in both pas
tels and the brighter colors.
Bermudas, of course, continue
their high rating among both
men and women. This fall the
Ivy League style, with the belted
back, is a favorite in both ber
mudas and slacks.
And there’s also something new
in knee socks, generally worn
with bermudas. Tweed knee
socks are now in style.
Blouses Change Lillie
I Blouses are much the same
standard long and short sleeve
styles. The long overblouse that
became popular this summer is
still a favorite for the fall.
Borgana is the latest word in
coats. This imitation fur coat
comes in long and short styles,
in beige, light gray, brown, and
black.
Acrilan, another synthetic fib
er, is the latest sweater fabric.
Fur blends are also widely used.
Six Night Courses

offered during the fall semester,
beginning September 29.
Registration will be held from
