Buttons
Luminate
I Fasteners Designed for Blackout Nights
Chemically impregnated buttons designed to glow during blackouts h are being brought into the fashion limelight. The buttons are available in two types: one which must be exposed to light before it will glow, and a second which is luminous without provious exposure to | light.
One two-purpose button is suitable for both daytime and evening
wear. It is made of wood, finished to give the appearance of plastic. Another style is the circular multicolored leather type. A luminous disk is contained in the center of the button and protected by a | covering of transparent plastic.
CATS HEAD
Among the novel effects in the permanently luminous line is a button which shows a cat’s head in the daylight and which in the dark reveals two gleaming eyes .
Luminous decorations on round or square bases given interesting designs. On a heart shaped button a luminous V is shown. A complete button contains luminous whirls and streaks. A matching necklace may be worn with this.
FLOWER EFFECT
One round button shows a rim consisting of a series of luminous blocks. A number of flowers and petal effects are offered, as well as numerous patriotic motifs which include the words “Keep ’em Flying” and a luminous propellor.
A novel button design is a candlestick in a holder. ’This gives off a greenish glow when seen in the dark. Another interesting button is spanned by a bar of luminous metal.
'Coed Notebox^ Placed in Union
A “Campus Notebox” has been placed on the north end of the cashier’s stand in the Student Union bookstore. Sponsored by Amazons, junior and senior women’s service organization, the project is for the exclusive use of women students.
Letters for students on campus may be left in the box at any hour of the day. Notes should be filed under the first letter of last name. Each pigeon hole in the brown notebox is marked with a large letter.

W omen to Wear I Tweed Stockings
FORT WORTH, Tex.	Cot-
[ton tweed stockings and shoes | which are more simple and less colorful are in prospect for women this year according to predictions lo? Esther Lyman, merchandise ed-[itor of Harper's Bazaar.

informal rush week coeds will give
new impetus to clothes. For once
girls can indulge in daring color combinations—the kind you’ve always W’anted to wear and never dared—and gain that all important nod of approval.
Pastel angora sweaters and contrasting pleated skirts will catch sorority women’s eyes.

Woman Deserts College Crew for Medicine
by William C. Payette
United Press Staff Correspondent
PORTLAND, Ore.—(U.E) — When you get down to a girl coxswain, you’re short of manpower, but Reed college recalls those days as plentiful ones after surveying this year’s crew possibilities.
Mary Russell, 20-year-old Bremerton, Wash., coed who lent her lungs to the crew as last year’s Reed female shell boss, was missing when the rowers turned out for practice.
TRANSFERRED SCHOOLS
The war caused her to take up the study of medicine, and she transferred to the University of Washington.
“If things keep up,” crew manager Barry Brownell said, “we may have a rough time collecting even a female crew.”
PEACETIME WORKERS
Reed’s peacetime troubles were enough, what with the belief of the administration that the school should exercise brain. The going got tough when shipyards began paying up to $90 weekly for labor, ana a little brain exercise resulted in a loss of enrollment.
But alter Dec. 7, athletics took an awful kicking around. Even the coeds became defense minded. Those who couldn’t nurse could knit.
ALL-GIRL CREW
To mefoe it worse, the Portland Rowing club, which used to provide Reed’s opposition on the Willamette river home sourse, lost its brawn to the armed forces and announced it wouldn’t put its shells in the water this season.
“And that means we won’t have a prayer of getting a cast-off shell,” Brownell said.
“Anyhow. we’ll probably get down .to an all-girl crew and then probably to a girl- scull.”
Red Cross Requests Completed Sweaters
Women who secured yarn to knit sweaters for the Red Cross from the YWCA are requested by Jeanne Cendow, AWS secretary to return the completed garment to the Y

Creators Remilitarize Spring Styles; Defense Movements Influence Clothes
Remilitarization of women’s fashion in an all-out program for morale building and efficiency in styles has absorbed the attention of designers who prepare for the spring campaign.
The new shorter bob for hair that has become regulation for most defense agencies has given hat designers the opportunity ,to plan feminine blitz-
kriegs in hats for date wear. Pill box flower hats with long swooping veils that can be caught up and clipped to the shoulder of your dress will see action. Distracting feathers and feathered birds will aid in the blitzkrieg attack.
DAYTIME WEAR
Dresses for daytime wear will be strictly tailored in shirtmaker styles and be provocative only in the striking colors selected. But when
night falls and men take a reprieve from active duty, women will concentrate in an effort to undermine worry by substituting fun.
For the occasion, dresses worn will be on the feminine side with lingerie, colors, and trimming predominating. Jewels and beading will glamorize plain dresses. Prints will be large and splashy With dirndle skirts and dark backgrounds.
BRIGHT BAGS
Bags will become general utility equipment in brilliant South American colors. Shoes will have one step in the direction of duty and the other toward novelty. For daytime action oxfords in saddle leader are suitable but for play and evening wear color and nailheads will have a free reign.
Blouses that must be strictly tailored for defense duties will go to the other extreme for off duty purposes. Georgette, chiffon, and silk in feminine styles will predominate.
Former SC Students Take Business Courses
Several former% SC women are now faking business training at the Wright-MacMahon school. Most of .the students are graduates of June 1941.

Slacks Popular for War Jobs, Stores Report
by Rose Williams
United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK OLE) — The ladies have shelved vanity for Victory.
Most of the large department stores here already have noted a •huge increase in the sale of slacks. Some have doubled their expected sales.
“We’re getting orders from all parts of the country,” a buyer of women’s sportswear reported. DARK, DURABLE
“And they all ask for the same thing. Something dark, practical and durable.”
As a matter of fact, one department store buyer hinted skirts may eventually give way to trousers for the duration, except for dress occasions. With the anticipated premium on woolens, silk and hosiery, it is small wonder the girls have found trousers more than a Marlene Dietrich whim.
TROUSER FREEDOM
Every day women are taking over jobs heretofore done by men. They find the freedom of trousers unbeatable, even if the lines are less flattering to the figure.
Several high schools already have voted slacks in for class wear. Others are following the lead and once the ball is rolling, it’s hard to stop.
HIGH SCHOOLS
A New Jersey high school started it all when its Board of Education approved slacks for class wear.
It happened that Miss * Annette James, physical education instructor, had been coming to school in slacks. That was all right until she decided to wear her fire-engine red numbers. That started a cause celebre, resulting in the subsequent
Fashions
Gowns Contrasted by Frivolous Hats; Gay Colors Seen
by Corrinne Hardesty
United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK—(U.E) — Simplicity in frock and frivolity in hats, with a dash of color from our Good Neighbors south, seem to keynote fashions, judging by early season shows.
With a defense angle to everything including a permanent wave, ,two schools of thought about women’s fashions have developed.
One side contends that women should be as conservative as possible in clothes, as to material, trimmings and cut. The other school contends that in such a dreary, war-torn world women should dress as gaily as possible and be general cheerer-uppers.
Spring fashions should satisfy both groups.
GAY COLORS
For those who think that femininity will help win the war and lean to the side of “escapist clothes,” there are the gay colors from Mexico and South America which have found their way not only into resort and play clothes, but into daytime costumes.
Bright blue seems to lead, with various shades of • light red, planned to lighten up that well-known “basic dress,” close seconds. Some designers are fooling around with costumes in khaki color, but they admit it is a hard color for most women to wear and takes a good deal of livening up.
NAVY BLUE, W HITE
Navy blue and white, the everlasting spring combination, will i have the added lure this season of suggesting the patriotic. Set off with a dash of red, it makes a smart get-up.
On the fabric front cotton seems slated to win. What with synthetic fabrics being scarce (priorities take their makings) and all the silk we can get going into parachutes, cotton is destined to rule again.
Some designers promise plenty of light-weight woolens. Others sigh over the convoy situation and search for substitutes.
SUIT DRESS
The suit and the suit dress promise not only to hold their present popularity, but to increase it. Suits are ideal as a “basic costume.” They inspire an endless variety of blouses and accessories. Many designers predict they will be worn by everybody before the all-out effort is relaxed.
The suit dress, short jacket or long tunic, has the same advantages. The new spring ones have some frilly touches to help preserve the cherished feminine look in a ivorld of uniforms and work clothes.
EVENING WEAR
For evening wear women are going to make up for whatever severity they introduce in the daytime. The after-dark creations are of the wildest and gaudiest colors, as well as the softest and daintiest. They are slinky and bouffant, frilly and plain, and bear not the slightest resemblance to anything military.
Hats are “pretty, not silly,” in the words of one designer whose collection included tiny little things to go over one eye, covered with flowers and veils.
Daytime hats, made to sit firmly on the head, and stay at their proper angle through a day of volunteer war work, will be a joy to women who have always felt insecure in the toy numbers of the past few seasons.

Numbers of test-groggy and bleary eyed Trojans took advantage of the brief interim between finals and registration to diverge from the scene of the scholastic inquisitions to distant home-town, mountain.
