Have you noticed how much re semblance there is between the men's casual attire and the wo men's? It's getting hard to sepa rate the femininity from mascul inity. Put five-hundred well dressed girls in an auditorium. Then let one secretary, clad in skirt, sweater, and heels, enter the room and guess which girl gets the most admiration and praise from the men. You guessed it ma'am-the secretary. Why ? No offense, Idies, but she looks more like a woman!

Male By Levona Page So maybe girl's clothes are stereotyped. But have you ever taken a look at what the boys on campus Wear? It's nothing unusual to see the men (or should we call them d"sloppy Joe's") w e a r i n g old sweatshirts left over from high school football, worn out, baggy bermudas, and tennis shoes that look like they may have been a hand-me-down from three genera tions.
