4 Report to Council‘ By OSCAR WILLIAMS

' There are no more foreign stu-dents at State. The Campus Gov-ernment decreed Tuesday thathenceforth men from abroad willbe known as international students.This decree climaxed the reportsby three internationalists of theproblems they have encounteredhere.

Last week the international stu-dents formed an organization. Itisdedicated not to isolating its mem-bers from their American associ-ates but to breaking through theinsulation that now exists. Subhi S.Shaat of Palestine has been electedPresident, and Edward B. Gilbertof Norway Vice-President.

Paul A. Rivadeneryra of Mexico,chairman of the clubs sports com-mittee, told the Council of the inter-national students soccer team. Areport of this team’s phenomenalsuccess against Carolina is carriedin this weeks Campus Dispatch onpage xx. Gilbert, who heads thesocial committee, explained the dif-ficulties arising from differingsocial customs. At present neitherAmerican students nor the inter-nationalists are sure what one ex-pects of the other.

U. S. AmbassadorsPresident Shaat pointed out some

interesting observations in a brieftalk to the Council. Most of the in-ternational students at State arehere because they chose the United

\ States in preference to England,France, or some other country.They arrived on the Americanshores, as Shaat said, “with emptycars; and it is up to American as-sociates as to what the cars carryaway.” When the international stu-dents return home, they will beAmerican representatives, so tospeak, who can confirm or dispelpopular foreign ideas of the Holly-wood America.

. Two This WeekPartly as an experiment and

partly a result of the need, theTECHNICIAN .will come outtwice this week. State Collegehas grown above the need for aweekly only, as was evidenced bythe amount of news and ads avail-able for last week’s paper. How-ever, the facilities and the sizeof the staff of the TECHNICIANdo not make a regular semi-weekly feasible. The TECHNI-CIAN needs more men who areinterested in writing and cover-ing regular “beats.” Freshmenwho want an extra-curriculaactivity worth the time spent. areurged to come by the Technicianoffice on Tuesday night, . and‘hake themselves known.

foot frontage on Tucker Street andruns 209 feet deep. It is constructedentirely of masonary, steel, andconcrete, which makes it a fireproofbuilding. Cream colored bricks areused for the facing, and red andgreen bricks give it a mosaic trim.

Ninety- five thousand square feetof floor space gives plenty of roomfor the bowling alleys and‘ skatingrink. The bowling alleys and theskating arena will each take ap-proximately twenty thousandsquare feet; and the five rentedoffices will require two thousandmore feet. The remaining surfacewill be filled with the two sodafountains, two ten-stool grill count-ers, locker and shower rooms on themezzanine floor, shoe and ball lock-ers, and comfortable lounges withrest rooms.~On the ground floor there will be

Party A SuccessAn experimental party between

Lower Tucker Dorm and a selectgroup of Peace girls turned out tobe a great success. Garland Jobe,dormitory assistant in Lower Tuck-er and chief instigator for theparty said, “The Tucker boys wentall out for the occasion and as a re-sult the femmes were outnumber-ed.” “The boys whole-heartedly ap-proved the experiment and are look-ing forward to arranging a similarevent in the future,” he said.The affair began with a weiner

roast at 8:00 Saturday night andthe evening was climaxed with adance. The party was arrangedthrough the State College YMCAand Peace College. Mr. ROgers ofthe State College “Y” says that anydormitory or dormitory floor mayarrange such an event.

Gold was the scene of an inter-esting incident last week. It seemsthat Wade Hobson, football man-ager, found himself with a footballgave on schedule and all his play-ers in class. Not to be outdone,Wade recruited two Chinese stu-dents, two Mexicans, and SteveYough, none of whom had ever seena football. He also got two students,Nelson and Pace by name, whohave to have people read'for themdue to the condition of their eyes.With this patchwork aggregation,Hobson went down to Doak Fieldto die for dear old Gold.

Volleyball gets a lot of attention,too. William J. “Bill” Hord isathletic director in Becton, whereJoe Watts, Jack Davis, HankFazier, D. Walts, Bob Dobbins,Hugh Stokes, and 'J.

By GILBERT MAXWELLWith the term half gone, this

seems to be a good time to look backover the YMCA's freshman pro-gram, evaluate it, and then takea kick at what’s ahead. 'The Freshman Fellowship 'met

Wednesday night in the basementof Tucker Dorm to elect the officerswho will guide their group for. therest of the year. (Ye olde deadlinemakes it impossible to list the offi-cers this week.) This was theseventh weekly meeting of the fel-lowship group this year, which hasbeen the «best “Y” year in the pastdecade.Y frosh work got off to a flying

start this fall with the FreshmanPre-College Retreat on September14-16. More than one hundred out-standing freshmen .from all partsof the country attended the two-day program which acquainted themwith the Y’s work and introducedthem to such prominent campusfigures as Dean E. L. Cloyd, Dr.Roy N. Anderson, Dr. C. G. Bren-necke. Prof. Tom Hines, Mr. H. W.Taylor and many others. They alsomet the YMCA’s staff members,Mr. E. S. King, Mr..N. B. Watts,and Mr. E. W. Rogers; and mem-bers of the Y cabinet.

Bill Rogers, assistant Y secre-tary, and Bill Cochrane and RalphDixon, co-chairmen of freshmanwork, immediately launched a large-scale freshman program, which in-cluded regular weekly meetings

. with many “extra” features slippedin. The first two or three froshmeetings were highly informal—ofthe “get-acquainted” variety. Later,they took on a more serious bear-ing. A discussion on dating eti-quette with a group of feminine

Each week their throats were ex-amined by noted throat specialists—a tatal of 2470exacting examinations. From coast to coast,these throat specialists reported ‘

authorities and a discussion on eti-quette in general with Mrs. IsabelleBowen Henderson were the featureattractions of the series.The first of the many “extras”

was the “Beat Dook” pep rally, inwhich freshmen did part of thestaging work and much of the yell- 'ing. Several frosh play football andvolleyball on the Y intramuralteams, while others participate invarious Y activities. The highlightof the term thus far was thedeputation to W. C. two weeks ago.About seventy-five freshmen andupperclassmen were guests of W. C.freshmen Saturday evening for pic-nic supper and dance.Another notable achievement in

the increasing amount of coopera-tion betwen Y groups here and thelocal girls' schools. There is openhouse at Meredith every Sundayafternoon for about fifty State menand dormitory parties with Peaceare now a reality. Not to be over-looked is the dance which was givenfor freShmen by the Campus Gov-ernment in cooperation with theYMCA Saturday, October 23. DonBiggerstaff, chairman of the Y’srecreation committee handled theY’s end of the arrangements.

Definitely on the way are moredeputations to W. C. andvice-versa,as well as a continued regular Wed-nesday night'program. At present,all efforts are being concentratedon Religion In Life Week in whichthe Y cooperates with other mem-bers of the Protestant ReligiousCouncil. After'finishing that job,Bill Rogers, Bill Cochrane, andRalph Dixon plan to come out withan even more intensified programfor freshmen. There is some talk ofa Christmas dance with Peace onthe dim horizon.

KNOWLEDGE . . .. Knowledge is an immense thing—it has

infinite possibilities for application to daily' life. And we here in school are building up atreasury of information. The real questionfacing us is what we intend to do with it.Shall we just accumulate this vast store andput it away in mothballs ? Or should we findpractical application for it ? . .The wealthy who gather their riches to.no

'end other than to stock them away in bankvaults are defeating themselves, for moneyhas no usefulness in a fine cellar. Likewise,our building intellectual wealth will all go fornaught unless we find the means to utilize it.

' We’re 'not learning philosophy, religion,history, etc... just to be learning. As futurepurveyors of the American way of life, weshall be called upon to defend right prin-ciples, to elect just leaders, to educate ourchildren and'to. attack falsehood and injustice.How may we hee’d this an if we haven’t ap-plied ourselves while learning or haven’t keptinformed of contemporary events 7For there is not only the freedom to learn,

but also the duty, and with it the responsibil-ity for finding practical application for ourcomplete education, not just a part of it. Oureducation shall not be complete unless we keepinformedboth in and out of school and applythe knowledge toward right and responsibleliving. —The Appalachian

Learn Values That Endure . . .Probably the greatest lesson a man may

learn in his college days is to differentiate be-tween real and apparent values; to see be-neath the thin varnish of materialism withits false values, its emphasis on money andpower. The'greatest values in life are thoseof the mind and the spirit, of our inner selves.They are largely independent of our bankaccount. Nearly all of these, highest values inlife express themselves through unselfish-ness; through sacrifice and service'to others;through willingness to work for the benefit ofour classmates and our university; in givingourselves without stint or hope of reward.These values have never been for sale and

never will be. I ask you Where the followingare for sale; in what 'market they can bebought: courage, honor, friendship, integrity,steadfastness, tolerance, love, devotion to

A man might sell hishonor,‘but it-is perfectly obvious that as soonas he decided to do so he would not have tosell. Mercenaries may be hired to wage warbut history demonstrates they are the first tosurrender or retreat when the tide turnsagainst them; they are no match for thepatriot if the odds are at all even.One cannot buy the love of a good woman

or the devotion of a friend. You can buy yes-men flatterers; men’s bodies but not theirminds or souls. The number of real friends aman has in a lifetime can usually be countedon the fingers of one hand. He may havecountless acquaintances but,never many truefriends those to whom no explanation isever necessary, whose loyalty and devotioncan always be taken for granted, to whom noaccounting is ever required. Dictators seekto buy loyalty but discover always to theirundoing that they have purchased intrigueand treachery in the end.

These values are the real riches in life.They are the principal ingredients of hap-piness; the end toWard which all men strug-gle who have discovered the real meaningof life. I believe history will demonstrate thatGandhi was one of the really great men of alltime. Many will say he was a foreigner, amontebank, an infidel. But I believe he wasmore truly Christian than most of the menI know. He achieved power over men’s mindsand souls through sacrifice, devotion to ideals,and service to his people. When he was killedlast winter he held a fifth of the populationof the world in the hollow of his hand; hadthe power to start or stop a civil war; was,in fact, more powerful than the British Em-pire. No man could have gained such dominionover the minds and hearts of an entire peoplewithout having achieved true greatness, with-out having learned to distinguish the realvalues of life. Yet Gandhi was no Rockefeller,no giant of industry. Outwardly he was a be-spectacled little man wrapped in a homespunloin-cloth. He was in reality, I believe, one of ‘

OPEN FORUMDear Mr. Editor:The YMCA does not make the

policies of the Self Help Bureau.The policies followed are made bythe Self Help Committee, appointedby the Chancellor of the Collegeand listed in the Directory Issueof the State College Record. How-ever, the YMCA did establish theSelf Help Bureau in 1929 for thepurpose of rendering, assistance toneedy students at State College andhas maintained and financed thebureau each year through its bud-get.

. Soliciting projects were organ-ized several years ago when therewere fewer shoe repair shops inRaleigh than there are today. Tothe best of the writer’s memory,Miles Shoe Shop cooperated withthe bureau from the beginning‘ ofthe shoe repairing project until theschool year 1946-47. At that timeMr. Miles, owner and operator ofthe Miles Shoe Shop, indicated thathe was not interested in continuinghis service through State CollegeSelf-Help students. The only othershoe repairing shop who had in-dicated their interest in this proj-ect to the bureau was the Glen-wood Shoe Shop. Therefore, whenMr.- Miles declined our invitationto continue, this project was offer—ed to the Glenwood Shoe Shop andthey accepted it for the school year1946-47 (last year).

Previous to this school year itwas the policy of the Self HelpBureau to permit only one firm tobe represented through Self-Help$udent Solicitors for each type ofservice, such as, shoe repairing,laundry, dry cleaning, etc. Thisyear, Self-Help Committee, in anattempt to treat all interested firmswith the same degree of fairness,decided to approve students on thebasis of need for the jobs as solicit-ors for the needed services andpermit the approved solicitors toselect the firm that each wished torepresent. It did not concern theCommittee if all the approved so-

during the war, when every firmhad all the work that it couldhandle, only a few firms would co—operate with the bureau on solicit-ing projects. Now that business ingeneral is off and there are manynew business firms, they are look-ing for all the new business theycan get.

By JACK BOWERSPlaying before an estimated

Homecoming crowd of 15,000, theState College Wolfpack lost a 21-14 decision to a suprisingly strongUniversity of Virginia elevenSaturday afternoon in RiddickStadium.Taking complete control of the

game in the first period, the Wolf-pack, led by Bill Thompson andDick Johnson. racked up an early7-0 lead.Midway in the second period the

Cavaliers began to move. On an ex-change of punts. Virginia carriedto the State 26 yard line. From thatpoint, halfback Barney Gill brokethrough the State defense to scorestanding up. Elliott’s conversion.was good.

After one exchange of punts inthe third period, an aerial thrownby tailback Ed Mooney was inter-cepted on the Virginia 18 by BillSinclair of the Cavaliers. Sinclaircarried the ball to the Virginia 46.From that point, two passes byquarterback Michels put the Cava-liers ahead to stay. One of the.pass-es, a 13 yard one to Barney Gill putthe pigskin on the ’Pack 13 with afirst and ten for the Virginia men.On the next play Michels connectedwith halfback Osisek for the touch-down. Elliott again converted.After the next kickoff, State was

held in check. Smith kicked for theWolfpack to the Virginia 13. Tenrunning plays, with hard-drivingfullback John Papit carrying onfive of the ten plays put the Gava-liers on the State 37. Osisek thenpassed to Edmunds on the fifteen.Edmunds, outdistancing the ’Packsafety man, scored standing up forthe final Virginia tally. Elliott’splacement made the score 21-7.

Shortly before the final gun,aCavalier fumble was recovered onthe Virginia three by State ‘All-Southern Candidate Elmer Costa.Taking a lateral from the quarter-back, Ogden Smith scored to makethe final score 21-14.The statistics showed the close-

ness of the game. Making 12 firstdowns to the Cavalier’s nine, theWolfpack picked up 159 yards rush-ing to 154 for Virginia and gained89 yards on passes to 84 for theVirginians. State completed sevenof 15 aerials and the Cavaliers fourof five.

Standouts in the State forwardwall were ends Tony Romanowsky,Freddy Miller and “Buck” Blom-quist, tackle Elmer Costa, andguards Bernie Watts and CharlieMusser. Saunders played a goodgame at center.

Miller figured in what was per-haps the most spectacular play ofthe game. Late in the fourth quart-er, tailback Ogden Smith fadedback and threw a 41 yard passwhich Miller snagged deep in Vir-ginia territory.

Tailbacks Bill Thompson andOgden Smith, and fullback DickJohnson looked good for the State-men in the backfield.The workhorse forqthe Virginia

eleven was fullback John Papit.Carrying the leather 24 times, Pa-pit netted 93 yards an average ofnearly four yards per try.The victory gives Virginia a one

Carolina, Tar Babies, 346By JOHN LAMPE

Playing before 4,000 rain-soakedfans in Riddick Stadium last Fridaynight, Coach Tom Gould’s Wolfletshad their third attempt for victorythwarted, being defeated by theBaby Tar Heels of Carolina 34-6.The ball game looked even in the

first quarter, with the two opposinglines battling it out for supremacy.Vince Bagonis opening the game,

kicked off for State, and Weiss ofCarolina was stopped on his own 23on the run back. After several lineplays by Weiss and White of theTar Heels, the ball rested on State’s47 yard line. Here State’s line held,with Don Brewer breaking throughto throw Carolina for a loss. Afterthe run back of Carolina’s punt,State was 'held for no substantialyardage by the stubborn Tar Heelline. Ferrell and Weiss then ex-up on State’s 40 with Carolina inpossession. End Steve Kosilla,spotting a Carolina pass, droppedback ad hauled it in, then with “VS”Kaiser leading the offense, theState frosh moved the ball down tobig brothers, started to roll. Full-back Weiss‘ returned Ferrell’s kickto his own 25 yard line where theTar Babies pulled a double reverseCarolina’s 35 where the Baby TarHeels stopped the Cubs to end thefirst quarter.

In the second quarter, the Caro-lina Freshmen, looking like their_big brothers, started to roll. Full-back Weiss returned Ferrell’s kickto his own 25 yard line where theTar Babies pulled a double reverse

changed punts with the ball ending’

with White carrying for 20 yards.Weiss then hit blocking back Cubaand end Walser successively withpasses to move the ball to State’sthree, where Weiss bucked over forthe score. Williams placement waswide, and the Tar Babies led 6-0.

After a series of playswhich did not net a first down WaltFerrell had to kick, but the hardcharging Tar Babies came in fastto blbck the punt and take over onState’s 29. A pass from Carson toBrady on State’s nine netted 20yards and then on a reverse, Bradylugged the ball over the goal forCarolina’s second score.

The U. S. Navy’s Bureau of Shipsis sponsoring a $40,500 researchprogram on the heat resistance oflaminated plastics in the Depart-ment of Engineering Research atN. C. State College, Dean J. H.Lampe of the School of Engineer-ing announced today.

Originally contracted for $24,500,the project has been increased by$16,000 to cover an additional sevenmonths of experiments, DeanLampe stated. College laboratoryspecialists plan to finish the workby July 1, 1949.

Increased use of plastics aboardships and a lack of knowledge con-cerning the behavior of suchmaterials when subjected to heatare the two main factors behind thestudy. Large quantities of plastics,Lampe said, are used on modernnaval vessels not only for electricalswitchboards, radio and radar«equipment but for furnishings andstructural materials as well.

The project calls for fundamentalinvestigations on the heat resist-ance characteristics of various com-mercial laminates and other im-portant properties involved whenthe materials are heated.

Research is being conducted inthe college’s chemical' engineeringlaboratories under the direction ofDr. E. M. Schoenborn, head of theDepartment of Chemical Engineer-ing and a top-ranking scientist.

Technical duties associated withthe experiments are being handled

by Henry Philleo and Mrs. MurielK. Claflin, chemical engineers onthe college staff. Graduate studentsand college seniors are assistingin the study.

Results of the work, Dr. Schoen-born said, may be helpful for theNavy’s future expansion programsand may also aid commercial firmsdealing in plastic manufacturing.Aims of the research, as outlined

by Dr. Schoenborn, are to get basicdata on the heat resistance of plas-tics, to devise simple testing proce-dures—together with the essentialapparatus and equipment—forevaluating the heat resistancetraits, to correlate the results withother properties of the materials,and to make the test proceduresadaptable for quality control pur-poses.

This project in plastics researchis sponsored by the Department ofEngineering Research, as part ofan ever-expanding program design-ed to meet the great need for re-search in the field of engineering.At present, the research depart-ment, under the -direction of Dr.W. G. Van Note, is conducting orsponsoring similar research proj-ects in firebrick materials, andmany other fields related to engi-neering. In weeks to come, theTECHNICIAN will attempt to pre-sent some of the work and accom-plishments of the Department ofEngineering Research and to tellsomething of the people who makethis work possible.

Off The DeeerdBy BOB FREEMAN

For most of us. who don’t haveaccess to a phonograph while inschool, the chief means of keepingup with the latest record releasesis the radio. Many of the radio sta-tions that can be picked up inRaleigh supply recorded music asthe main form of entertainment—you dial-twisters are well aware ofthat. A good number of these pro-grams, however, are slanted towardthe listener with special tastes.

Lovers of classical music can findconsiderable solace, in the WDNCSymphonic Hour from 1:30 to 2:00every .weekday afternoon. Whilethe producers generally display‘good taste in their selections, thehalf-hour limitation is apt to be adrawback, since many of the moreserious classical works run longerthan 30 minutes. It is not unusualto bear the first movement or twoof a symphony on one day and theconcluding movements on the fol-lowing day. But they always man-age to finish the week without left—overs.Jazz fans may have discovered

the Cat’s Ratrace over WTIK from3:00 to 4:30 in the afternoon. Therecent trend on this program seemsto be toward blues shouting andlow-moaning tenor saxes that con-centrate on two or three notes perside and never get anyplace. Butif you keep listening you’ll hearsome excellent modern jazz, includ-ing bop, and even a side or two ofDixieland thrown in for good meas-ure.Those of you who have 10 o’clock

free on Saturday mornings may beinterested in knowing about a pro-gram called A Concert of AmericanJazz. The show is produced in theNew York studios of the AmericanBroadcasting Company and is heardin Raleigh over WNAO. Many ofthe records played are collector’sitems. No matter which period inthe development of jazz you favor,you’re bound to find something tosuit you. And you may get an in-sight into some of the more esotericpatterns that have had you baffled.

One of our pet peeves is the disc-.jockey who detracts from rather

than adds to the records he plays.There are too many of the formerand not enough of the latter. Onethat we find particularly interest-ing is Dave Garroway. If you’reever up at 1 AM and in the moodfor some fine music and relaxingtalk, dial your dadio to 670-that’sChicago’s WMAQ, and for somereason known to radio engineers, itusually comes in quite well downhere. Garoway often goes to greatlengths to give his listeners a newslant on the records he plays. He,too, is modern in his tastes — bothclassical and jazz-but has not for-gotten that it takes all kinds ofmusic to make a well-balancedshow. Give him a listen some nightwhen you don’t have to worry about8 o’clocks the next morning. Wethink you’ll be glad you did.

If, on the other hand,a student has had all the pre-collegemath in high school and stillscores low on the entrance test,he may quite possibly have lowmath aptitude.

its 79th anniversary Saturday Nov-ember 6, 1948.

Football of a very primitivenature can be traced back to ancienttimes. However, football, as it isknown in the United States, canmore recently be traced to the Eng-

' lish game of rugby.There was some informal football

played at Yale in 1840 betweenfreshmen and, sophomores, but thefirst intercollegiate game was play-ed-at New Brunswick, New Jersey,between Princeton and Rutgers onNovember 6, 1869. In the next fewyears many colleges took to thefootball field.

Until 1880, when Walter Campof Yale persuaded the schools to‘adopt an eleven man team, therewas as many as twenty-five parti-cipating in the game. Also, aroundthis time a rule was put into effectthat a team must make five yardsin three trys, or let the oppositionhave the ball. However, the gamegrew so rough that many schoolshad to abandon it.Around 1906, President Theodore

Roosevelt called a meeting ofPrinceton, Harvard and Yale at theWhite House in hopes of improvingthe game. The outcome was thegame with the forWard pass andsome other modifications inserted.This made the game faster and

and no can suspect that we’re pul-ling a promotion stunt, we can talkabout candied apples in a complete-ly detached way.You really don’t have to be any-

where near a fair to enjoy candiedapples. They’re an awfully good,inexpensive and healthful finaltouch for an after-the-football-game open house. 'But a word of caution: if you

have a tendency to cook your candytoo long and hard be sure yourguests have strong jaws, good teeth,and extremely reliable senses ofhumor. They will. need them alljust to get the first bite. And wespeak from experience! (Fortu-nately, our guests were well equip-ped with all the above necessities.)

Well, now that we’ve figured out

cleaner and this resulted in thetremendous popularity it enjoys to-day.

‘It’s

The college man should now havein his wardrobe at least one eachof the following: cloth-of-goldsport shirts with three-quarterlength sleeves; brocaded silk pa-jamas; Picasso pink sweaters withplunging necklines, and polkadotted

, suspenders.So say fashion designers in' New

York, who decided this fall it wastime for a change in men’s bib ’ntuckery.Hand-in-hand with the revolution-

ary change,. the first in fifteenyears for the male sex, is predicteda. new trend in college smokinghabits—the switch to the cigar.

‘ The sudden turn to color, oddlyenough, tends to bring out the“beast” and the “best" in man,

' simultaneously . . . by accentuating.what fashion authorities call his“lustiness.” A rugged tan glowsthreateningly under the challenge«of pink. Muscles look twice aspowerful set off by a masculinepolka dot, king size.The new popularity of cigars is

a style note that cropped up lesssuddenly. It was an outgrowth ofthe war, when men grew more ro-bust, needed a more robust smoke.

Dr. Eugen Kahn, professor ofpsychiatry at Yale University,analyzed it this way: “The lustyare the people with strong appe-tites, .who genuinely and thorough-ly enjoy all the good things of theearth, ,and with them smoking. ,Lusty men enjoy quantitatively andqualitatively a choice meal, a fineplay or concert, a good cigar.” Thetense type, he adds, turn to cigar-ettes. '

The combination of huskierclothes and cigar-smoking arecoupled under a general trend to-ward making college men “the lustytype.”

Last spring, when designers firstbrought out their wardrobe chang-es, they feared male resistance, sothey flattered the gentlemanly egoby hinting it was the “boldlook.”Consumers fell for it. They lit-

erally snarled to themselves as theyflipped cash across the counter forsuits with extra-wide lapels, pastelshirts with command (wide-spread-ing) collars, and husky-hemmedhankies. .,

Later, the men were surprised' to find the change in their clothesclosets was not so much daring asit was quietly masculine.

Now, the “bold look” is scheduledto continued. Dozens of new gim-micks have been added—includingtv'Vo much—promoted colors for suits,hats and shoes. They are walnutbrown and navion, which is a com-bination of navy and aviation blue.

Suits for winter have lapels thatspread an inch wider on eitherside of the manly chest, each lapelsporting a one-inch welt seam _atthe edge. Suits are cut easier, Withmore fullness through the chest.Not only suspenders, but ties andgarters have taken on polka-dots.Not the feminine type dots. Fashionauthorities call them ‘_‘dubloondots,” becuase they’re a full inchin diameter, and they’re patternedagainst bold, solid color back-

. grounds.Sport shirts are not only color-

ful (flamingo, kelly green, topaz,eggshell), but they have the addedpersonality of wide-spread collarswith stitching one-half inch in from
