(Gamecock I Co-ed Problem "What Will I Wear To the Big Games" With the first big game coming off Saturday the few girls who are fortunate enough to manage to get a ride to Durham are husy plan ning their outfits to go with the spirt of the game. "What will the weather decide to do?" is the question of the week. Now my new fall suit will be ideal -that is if it is cool. but then you can never tell. If I plan to wear my new sports dress, it will surely turn cool and I will need my coat, but then it is a lot of trouble to lug around a coat on an uncertain ty. Oh, gee, what will I wear! Yes, the football season does de mand many hours of forethough from even those who aren't priv ileged to run the winning touch down or catch the fatal pass. Cus tom has it that football is played in the fall; therefore, it demandsl new fall clothes for all the enthu siastic girls. Even one not the least interested in the progress of the game could easily find entertain ment watching the co-eds swelter while doing their best to maintain an appearance of comfort. There are those girls whlo (choose always the extr-eme in fashions and deck thenmelves out in pencil slim black dIresses, tiny black hats conm lete with veils, and shoes with spike heels that posscss as little leather as possible. Sitting next to our stunning but over-dressed miss Is the innocent babe in loafers, drolling socks, and a brief skirt nearly covered by a sloppy sweater. This little ladty has not yet learned t hat foot hall games are some of Carolina's biggest so cial even ts. Glancing about us we find that the majority of the male attention is centered about one object other than the game. Fightinag our way through the crowd, what do we find other than a girl--nat urally. As usun!. our womanly intuition, fore sight, or what have you, guided our thoughts to the question of wh.y all of the attention" We won't describe her personal ity and such-just her clothes. There she sat, the perfect picture of the typical collegiate. 11er well tailored suit, topped with a sports hat that only a college giri could wear, with shoes attractive to the eye and still practical enough Ii w~it hstand the usual dust of a foot ball stadium. and a bag large enough not to easily for-get made an outfit for others to copy and take notice of.
