Dresses, Hats, Hair Styles Examined By Critic
CADET SLOUCH
By HERKY KILLINGSWORTH
Battalion Fashion Analyst
Editor’s Note: What do wom
en’s fashions mean to men? Kil-
lingsworth tells all in this final
episode.
shift shift which is in the process
of becoming a knit suit, which
also shows great promise.
From this simple example of
a single type of dress you can
see how complicated it would be
to discuss everything those sweet
young things’ wear to the fullest
extent.
Of course we must discuss the
This year for the very first
time there will be a new dress
to come into popularity that has
been great every time it has
hit the market. It’s called hip
huggers and features a lower
waste line. Just think Aggies,
if the hem-line keeps going up,
and the waist starts going down
. . . skip this also.
While we’re hanging around
the waist we might as well dis
cuss pants also. By now you
have figured out that they look
better on the fairer sex than
they do on you. Well the femi
nine pants industry has really
boomed since old Ima Gona Ski
invented the Ski-pants. Things
have really tightened up since.
Those ski-pants are going to
be a hot item to follow, but their
creators are coming up with hip
huggin, bell-bottom pants. I
don’t know what they’ll look like
but they sound great. What I
really think all of that means is
if you go around hip hugging
girls with ski-pants on, the bells
are liable to ring.
Now if a girl decides definitely
against wearing either a skirt
or pants, there’s no reason to get
excited Ags. They have an in-
exhaustibile supply of wearing
apparel.
After all, there is always the
dress. And this is a field so
broad, I won’t even attempt to
go into it.
Yet it is a subject one must
consider. So let us examine one
cross-section which is representa
tive of the field. Many years
ago there was a hot item from
Paris called the “Sack.” She
wasn’t a stripper. She was a
dress. Girls soon tired of it be
cause of their dates popular ex
pression . . . skip this one, too.
But the clothing industry hates
to retire a good deal, so they
shifted it into a new item cling
ing to the curves a little better.
They called it the shift (which
won an originality contest) and
it is in, in, in. Now there are
all kinds of shifts—demi-fitted
skimmer shifts which cling close
ly to Eve's original shape. There
also are shifts with very long
zippers down the front, and a
Criminal Code Analysis
Part 3
BY GLENN DROMGOOLE
Battalion Editor
The revised Code of Criminal Procedure contains articles that,
while attempting to protect individual rights to a fair trial, tread
dangerously on thin ice with other guaranteed freedoms.
Perhaps the most cloudy example is in the area of fair trial-free
press relations. ~
Attorneys have long held that pre-trial publicity endangers a
fair trial. Newspapermen have countered that “the people’s right
to know” is likewise important.
After a heated debate on press restrictions, the legislature adopted
the following clause concerning pre-trial publicity:
“It is the duty of the trial court, the attorney representing the
State, the attorney representing the accused and all peace officers
to so conduct themselves as to insure to the defendant a fair trial
upon the presumption of innocence and at the same time afford the
public the benefit of a free press.”
Now if ever a more ambiguous clause was written into a
statute, it would have to be one conceived only after months of con
sideration.
The fair trial-free press controversy would have been better
omitted than to clutter this progressive document with such gobble-
dygook.
It solves none of the problems arising from pre-trial publicity,
but will probably lend even more confusion to the area. However,
even this ambiguity is better than the proposed measure in the
House of Representatives which was deleted by compromise. That
amendment set up definite restrictions on the press and was elimin
ated after state newspapers attacked it editorially.
The problem-—and it is definitely a problem—of fair trial-free
press needs a solution, but not from federal or state statutes. Internal
solution is desired by leading journalists, perhaps in form of a code
of fair practices. The journalism profession, however, has taken few
significant steps to insure defendants an unbiased jury.
Neither does the new criminal code alleviate the problem. A court
interpretation of the clause will probably be forthcoming.
In other areas of personal rights, however, the code is quite
explicit:
Bail bond—Courts may now release defendants on their own
personal oath that they will appear in court. This allows defendants
without sufficient funds to make bail instead of remaining in jail
until trial date. It is a significant step in equality. Before this code,
only persons with adequate funds or property were bondable. This
provision has, quite naturally, been assailed by bonding companies
that previously had a monopoly on all bail activities.
Discovery and deposition—After a hearing, a judge may require
the prosecution to make its evidence available to the defense. An
accused person is now able to examine the evidence against him, and
perhaps inform his attorney why the evidence is incorrect and suggest
witnesses and other matter to provide an adequate defense. Also, a
defense attorney might conclude from overwhelming evidence by the
prosecution to enter a plea of guilty, thereby saving time and expense
of a jury trial.
Probation—Although this hardly comes under the heading of
human rights, it is distantly related. Probation will be permitted for
misdemeanor cases for the first time, allowing a person convicted of
a minor offense somewhat of a second chance. Juries cannot grant
probation; they may only recommend it where the punishment does
not exceed 10 yeai’s. Suspended sentences have been left out of
the new code.

“WHERE AGGIES MEET’
LOUPOTS
various lines of the dress indus
try though. Seldom seen on the
A&M campus, but never the less
around, is the low neck-line which
really gets lower than the neck.
The back line is also dropping
and it’s getting down to the bare-
back essentials.
There is also a V-neck which
takes us back down to the waist
line again, but most sweet young
things’ get around the revealing
process by the use of Dickies,
which is a poor man’s turtle neck
sweater.
Speaking of sweaters, the bul
ky one is out and the tight one
is in. Three cheers for Paris.
Well, that’s about all there is
to today’s fashion. A few other
changes can be expected such, as
more girls sticking holes in their
ears so they can wear dainty
pearl earrings. Ever try rubber
cement girls ? . . .
Also long eyelashes are in if
they cannot be detected which
still raises a question in my mind.
Why wear them if you don’t
want them seen, and if you don’t
want them seen why wear them.
Something went wrong there.
But the biggest question of all
comes when you find that the
hottest single fashion item is
big round sunglasses which sup
posedly “give the collegiate coed
that wanted look of mysterious
ness ...” Dig that, and they
have “I’m in” written all over
them. Will Paris ever rest?
Of course the hair fashions are
also all important. To you be
ginning daters around A&M don’t
forget to comment on the girls
hair even if it’s in curlers. Around
here you don’t get a chance to
explain. Of course it may be
a wig but don’t let that bother
you. They’re in.
Hat’s are out. They cause the
hair to flake. But rumors are
out that Lady Clairol is heart
broken since the natural look is
back in, aided of course with a
mild dye of some kind just to
keep in practice for the next
oncoming style.
So Aggies, it’s a broad sub
ject. Anything goes and with
my few simple aids you can be
the next whiz kid snowing one
of our Texas Aggie Coeds (don’t
call them Maggies or you’ve
blown the whole thing).
If you forget everything else
about female fashions, just re
member that in a survey taken
around the Bryan-College Sta
tion area, it was discovered that
“My Sin” perfume sells 10 times
as much as that by “Angelique”.
