(Gamecock 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 busy plan nling t heir outfits to go with the spit of the game. "What wvill the weat her decide to do?" is the question of the week. Now~ my new full suit will be ideal - that is if it. is (ool, hut 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 houirs of forethough from even those who aren't priv ileged to run the winning touch down or catch the fatal pass. Cus tor has it that football is played in the fall; therefore, it demands 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 aie those girls who choose always the extreme in fashions and deck themselves out in pencil slim black drieses, tiny black hats com ilete with veils, and shoes with spike heels that possess as little leather as possihle. 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 slop)py sweater. ThIs little lady has not yet learned that football games ar'e some of Carolina's biggest so cial events. Glancing about us we find that the majority of the male attention is centered about one object other' than the game. Fighting our way, through the crowd, what do we find other than A girL-nat urally. As usua!, our womanly intuition, fore sight, or what have you, guided our thoughts to the question of why all of the at tention'. We won't describe her personal ity and sutch -just her clothes. There she sat, the perfect picture of the typ)ical collegiate. tIer well tAilored suit, topped with a sports hat that only a college girl could wear,. with shoes attractive to the eye andl still practical enough Id wit hstand the usual dust of a foot h all stadium, anid a bag large enough not to easily forget made an outfit for others to copy and take notice of.
