Ten years ago who would have
expected a women’s fashion show at
the male-dominated Texas A&M
University?
Wednesday evening the Texas
A&M Hospitality Committee did
just that. They sponsored a fashion
seminar and hosted Batik Creations
and The Varsity Shop.
Sunny Ilcken, for Batik Crea
tions, explained the trend towards
the. flowing, comfortable batik fash
ions.
The fashions transcended from
the national costumes of Indonesia
and Malaysia. Through the years the

tight fitting skirts have been trans
formed into free-flowing skirts made
from yards and yards of soft mate
rial.
Ilcken said the best thing aobut
these fashions is they can be dressed
up with a silk blouse, or dressed
down with a sweater. The skirts can
also be worn year around.
The fashions, however, cannot be
worn just anywhere. A basketball
game would certainly not be appro
priate. A dance, on the other hand
would be perfect.
Some of the fashions could be
worn as many as eight different
ways. Ilcken pointed out this can be
fun, especially for people with an
imagination.
Also modeled were batik shirts
and caftans. These were made from
the same splashy material as the
skirts and dresses.
Susan Mathis, owner of the Var
sity Shop, discussed hairstyles such
as the wedge and the bevel, which
resembles a Cleopatra-style haircut.
Vernene Parker, chairman of the
Hospitality Committee, said the
committee will be sponsoring
another fashion show Wednesday at
the Memorial Student Center foun
tain. The show will run in two shifts
from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m.
Batik fashions will be presented
again, but different dresses will be
modeled.

The A&M Consolidated School
Board Curriculum Committee
Wednesday night discussed the
Gifted and Talented Program for
children with special abilities.
Two years ago the program was
started with the help of federal
grant. Last year the board s request
for a second grant was denied.
Now parents want the board to
reinstate the program in August
1978 and provide funding in the
1978-79 budget.
Wednesday s meeting included
discussion of the program model.
Parents disagree on whether it
should be a resource room with a
special teacher, a regular classroom
or an instructional method with
stress on individual project assign
ments.
They also discussed which of the
following areas should be included:
general academics, aptitude in one
specific area, creativity, leadership,
arts-talent and psychomotor which
includes manual dexterity, athletics
and dancing.
Criteria for entrance into the pro
gram was also discussed. These in
clude IQ scores, achievement
scores, general information knowl
edge, teacher referral and perform
ance tests.
