Red With Red Is Fall Cocktail Men Give C Of Coeds, F lB KATIE DARLING Staff Writer This article is written for and aimed at the Carolina coeds! Be fore it was written, several of the male students were polled in order to get the "inside dope" straight from the "horse's mouth." The question asked them was, "What do you especially dislike about girls and current feminine fashions?" Their answers cover an amazingly wide area and are quite a revelation. Here are some of their observant opinions on general appearance. Shorter Iems The overwhelming majority of boys evidently are in favor of cur rent fashions in general.

About 10'i thought they looked ridiculous, especially when the skirt length was at or above the knees. The others liked them at knee length, but none approved of skirts above the middle of the knees. One boy mentioned that the pre re<juisite for the wearer of the very short skirts should be "pretty legs!" I leavy Make-Up Good grooming at all times was deemed necessary. The point was made one male student that "gobs of make-up" made him wary of the girls who wore it so lavishly, a id that he especially detested seeing girls breeze into class with extreme eye make-up on. One individual expounded his aversion to spike heels and gave some enlightening reasons for this. li. mentioned that ,,uch high heels weie dangerous and made girls ap pear clumsy, unless they learn to walk gracefully in them! The <tuestion of wvhether or not irsshould smoke was surpris ingly very divided, but a common consensus was reached on the fact tat at coed should niever, never walk across campus or any other public place wvith a cigarette in hei hand. 'The boy's were most vehement on thi- point and stressed the fact that ac'tions make the girls appear cheap and detract greatly from her femeininity and charm. Personlity Nowv for the masculine comn piaints ab)out girils' personalities and attitudles. The giggly girl, the two-faced girl, andl the self-centered girl Is lhe main of most objections.

Fashion Reporter The silhouettes of this season's cocktail clothes are eased and simple, but the colors and "trim ming" are explosive. The "sweater look" is the front runner in cocktail fashions this year. It features a fitted bodice with short sleeves, no collar and a belled skirt. The "slim" sheath with an ease of gathers is often combined with an overblouse or a softly bloused bodice. Evening Separates Also playing a big part in cock tali clothes is the two part system. A bouffant skirt is often combined with a waist length pull over in the same material. The cocktail dress with bouffant skirt and floral print bodice makes a lot of fashion sense and stretches the dollar when paired with one of shorter packets. The separates are no more flex ible than a dress unless you buy more than two parts. Two sepa rates make half as many costumes - one. Five separates make twice as many - ten. Choose Rich Colors The five parts could be a long Secretari Offered Two national scholarships for college senior girls are offered for 1961-62 by the Katharine Gibbs School.

The winners may select any one of the four Gibbs schools for their training - Boston, New York, Montclair, or Provi dence. Winners are chosen by the Scholarship Committee on the basis of college academic record, personal and character qualifi cations, financial need and po tentialities for success in busi ness.

One way to pick the parts is by colors. Choose rich related colors in rich unrelated fabrics, this way each outfit will.be unique. Startling combinations; green and tur quoise, jersey and satin, are fashion news. Simply cut separates look more important if you decorate lavishly. Choose grand ball accessories, place them importantly, but far enough apart. Accessorizing Separates A good rule to follow, two "lights" per outfit, just one with brocade. Then you need only one pair of shoes in a basic separates color, white kid gloves and gold carry-all for all the outfits. Separates have t o p drawer fashion status as well as use; they party, travel, work; give you any degree of formality. This season's cocktail clothes have a covered up look, the deeply scooped bodice is seldom seen and some have little sleeves or even three quarter length sleeves. If the neckline is scooped it is V'd in hack and rises high in front. Red, Red, Red Red, the siren, is fashion's new est pet for evening clothes, all shades of red.

Really explosive when worn by a red-head. Other color favorites, clear, hot p'A,k, sunny yellow, warn browns paired with beige and, of course, all shades of mauve. On the fabric scene, anything goes. At the top of the list are brocade and damask, but jersey, velvet, chiffon, lame and light wool tweeds are news, too. Satin is best when used as one part of a two part outfit. Accessories To wear with the season's cock tail clothes lots of bright, brash goodies. Big pins, earrings, neck laces and bracelets set with fake stones, are with us again this year. The little string shashes are good with one of this' year's "slim sheaths." The dresses themselves often h-ive trimings in the form of sequined or headed bodice, especially explosive on one of the "sweater dresses." For your cocktail dresses bor row the poise of a ball grown. If necessary, replace so-so buttons and closures perhaps with several jeweled pins. Sleeveless armholes should fit snugly and skirts shortly. The bouffant shirt should be petticoated properly, full but not too full. -Beat Clemson! rs hIps 'S Coeds tain full information from the college placement bureau.
