Coeds nix midi fashions
“Just because some little queer
in New York wants to buy per
fume and flowered ties, I’m not
going to support him by buying
his midi dresses.”
Fem studies initiated
“It’s about time,” says Betty
Friedan, the feminist, “we studied
herstory instead of history.”
A growing number of American
colleges and universities will be
doing just that this fall, offering
a wide range of courses on fe
male studies.
From San Diego State, one of
the first with a woman’s studies
program, to small Midwestern
colleges that offer one course on
women’s history, the subject of
women has become a part of the
curriculum.
College directors give credit
to cooperation among students,
faculty and women’s liberation
groups in organizing many of
the courses that are the latest
innovation since black studies
made the college scene.
“The university must deal with
current issues and problems,”
says Dr. Warren Carrier, dean of
Arts and Letters at San Diego
State University. “Sex discrimi
nation and related issues are
certainly a proper area of study
today.”
San Diego’s program has 10
courses, including topics for study
like “The Status of Women,”
“Human Sexuality,” and “Self-
actualization of Women.”
Most of the courses that will
be available at almost 100 col
leges will be for the full credit
leading to degrees, though sev
eral colleges also plan noncredit
seminars.
A sampling of campuses
throughout the country indicates
these courses available on women:
Among women’s colleges:
Bryn Mawr will feature Kate
Millet, author of the new best
seller, “Sexual Politics,” teaching
one class a week on a historical
and social survey of the role of
women.
Radcliffe College will feature
several courses including one on
women’s changing role in society.
Among the coed colleges:
Cornell University, which start
ed its course on women last year,
plans to continue it again this
year after enthusiastic response
from male and female students.

women faculty and staff members
and coeds are invited to attend

The group is divided into three
classes of bridge players:

feel they need practice. They are
instructed by Mrs. Judith Hum
phries, president of the club.
The Intermediate Group for
players who are not quite sure
of their skills.
The Regulars for accomplished
players of the game.
At the end of each semester,
the club sponsors a tournament
at which members compete for
prizes, and a couples bridge party.
A club due of $1.50 a semester
is charged to pay for cards and
the expense of the tournament
and party. Women are allowed
to attend three meetings before
paying dues.
Women are requested to wear
dresses or dressy pantsuits.
The club, formed in the early
1950’s, had 32 members last
spring and hopes to increase its
membership this year.
“Aggie coeds are most definite
ly welcome,” says Mrs. Lockhart.
“Knowledge of bridge is not nec
essary—just a desire to learn.”
Make up a batch of sauce for
seafood cocktails and keep it in

bottle of chili sauce or catchup
and add lemon juice, Worces
tershire sauce and horseradish to
taste. Some cooks like to use half
chili sauce and half catchup as the
base.

Angeles will hold a one-day con
ference on the Extent of Women’s
Liberation, and will continue its
course on the relationship be
tween American men and women.
Male students have expressed
interest in courses about women.
At Cornell University, more than
20 per cent of the students at
tending the classes dealing with
female subjects were men last
year. In an evaluation question
naire about these courses, all but
a few who responded said it
changed their attitudes favorably
toward feminism.
This is one comment a woman
on campus made when asked,
“Do you intend to wear midi
length fashions if they become
increasingly popular?”
The coeds and staff members
questioned about the midcalf
length styles were opposed 4 to
1 to the latest fall innovation of
fashion designers.
“I think they look horrible,”
says Claudia Lasiter, junior busi
ness major from Palestine. “I
never wore minis when they were
popular so I won’t wear midis
either”.
Karen Drummond, secretary in
the Agriculture Economics De
partment, comments, “I’m not
about to line up with the whims
of some distant fashion designer
in New York or Paris. The
women who do this are sheep and
nothing more.
“Of course my husband’s opin
ion is the deciding factor on what
I wear and he doesn’t like them.
“They’re not feminine, and
that’s the name of the game,
isn’t it ? Attraction.”
“I’d wear them only if every
other girl on campus did,” says
Susan Cummings, freshman in
Sociology. “That might solve the
problem of walking up a flight
of stairs with a short skirt and
a thousand boys staring.”
A junior pre-med coed com
ments, “Sure I’ll wear them —
if they’re permanent press.”
As a whole, the women thought
the midi fashion impractical for
Texas weather and also uncom
fortable for walking across a
crowded campus.
“I tried one on,” states Sheila
Bath, freshman Plant and Soil
Sciences major,” and I didn’t
like it. “It was uncomfortable
and extremely hard to walk in.
“But if styles go that way,”
she adds, “then I will probably
wear them.”

quarterly redemption date. You get
back your original investment plus all
the interest it has earned up to the end
of the most recent quarterly period.
You risk nothing. If interest rates
go down in the years ahead, your

simply cash your bond and re-invest at
the new higher rate. And, of course, you
have additional protection of our mem
