MOST every college girl. \\'hen asked what clothes are best for classroom tX and general campus wear, gives the same answer . . First . .. if you're going to be a freshman this year, find out from a good store as much as you can about the life on the campus of the college you have chosen. The information you receive will be an in­ valuable guide when you're selecting your wardrobe. Buy good, sound fashions. Don't be caught anywhere in anything spectacular. Even when you are buying evening gowns, remember you're in college . .. buy gowm thnt have a young restraint about them Buy classics in daytime clothes and keep in mind the fact that a good portion of your time is spent in the classroom (or should be). You'll be investing your money wisely if you don't skimp on your everyday frocks. Have a mnnnish sports coat for campus and sports wear. Buy a good one . . . it will last the entire four years and you'll love it more every year. If we told you all about the new things you'll find for college this fall we'd be writ­ ing for the next two weeks, so we're concentrating on three of the most exciting ones. 1.
