Battalion photo by Hurlie Collier By KURT ABRAHAM Battalion Reporter A;;major thrust of this year’s spring and summer fashions for women will be an emphasis on bright colors, as evidenced by the clothes 38 Texas A&M University students modeled in a fashion show Wednes day. Color, along with a new sleek look that emphasizes the body, was the theme of five categories of new fashions in a Rudder Theater show presented by “Girls, Girls, Girls” in conjunction with Sakowitz of Houston. An integral part of the Memorial Student Center’s Hospitality Committee, “Girls, Girls, Girls” got its start last fall when the 38 final members were picked out of a field of 100. “We then put the girls through a model training program with Barry Horn, an expert in the field,” said Beth Carnahan, the MSC staff adviser. “Our setting up the show with Sakowitz began about the same time and continued with the girls getting their final fittings in Houston last week.” Sakowitz is one of the last family-owned clothing store chains in America. In what he called a “how-to clinic,” Sakowitz fashion coordinator Robert Kalbfleisch emphasized that not only are colors important this year, but so are such accessories as belts and scarves. Several other trends were noticeable as some 70 garments valued at approximately $20,000 were modeled. Along with the new pencil- thin legs have still higher heels on shoes. Heels must become pro portionally higher as the pant leg narrows, said Kalbfleisch. Skirts and shorts are also in for some adjustment this year. After several years of becoming longer and fuller, skirts are not going back up towards the knee as they show a tighter, body-hugging look. Shorts are a big item in sportswear this year, as they too take on brighter colors. In the after-five category, red is the favorite choice among de signers, as it finds its way into everything from wrap-patterns to dotted materials. Evening attire is emphasizing many dresses that are slit on one side and have scarf accents. As in the case of other summer wear, color is important with even bright blacks and whites being used. Just about everything includes the slim, body-revealing theme, with basic-black outfits being particularly slinky. orning sees midnight p o/r«fy PEGGY C.

The group now sings profession ally for clubs, events, and parties and has a reputation of being humerous as well as versatile. Review trap set, sound technician Dave Russel contained the music well enough to satisfy the audience and not overfill the basement. Most of the songs such as “Turn the World Around,” a blues number about the big city sprawl, were orig inal. Morning, eager to please the crowd, played every request its members knew. When the show ended well after midnight, it was obvious the audience wanted more. Morning’s back-up group, Mar- tine and Copper, was well received and consistent with good songs writ ten by Martine and a few easy listen ing tunes borrowed from well- knowns. im )\ featuring ess ofl ckalonef haste i ave givi r two. 1 their vi d that! , they’d with th ROCK AND ROLL MONTH Wed.
