Spring Fashions
Feature Holes,
Rising Hemlines
By MARGARET ANN NICELEY
If clothes are supposed to make
the man, Carolina will have some
students pretty weirdly put to
gether this spring.
In fact, some coeds will hardly
be put together at all if they wear
their skirts as short as fashion
says they are supposed to be. The
London look is mostly look 'nd
look again, with hems rising four
and five inches above the knee. On
some girls it is more like look and
look away.
Fabrics this year lean toward
floral prints. It's harder to tell
when they're dirty.
Skirts are topped with shells
and little-nothing blouses. The
name shell is misleading. These
blouses do not even closely re
semble conchs or "hey-what-about
that-you-can-hear-the-ocean" shells
and are definitely not the type one
hatches out of. The little-nothing
name is better, coming from the
basic pattern of the blouse itself
four holes, one each for the head,
waist and arms.
But if blouses are little-nothing,
this year's bathing suits are even
littler-nothing. Some girls will
have to keep their beachwear up
with bandaids-there's not enough
material to sew buttons on. Some
of the suits themselves resemble
one large button hole. This year's
big beach game may be "Button,
button, who's got the button?"
Remember that one from 'way
back?
Even shoes have the peek-a-boo
look. Holes everywhere. Some
where along the assembly line, the
functional purpose of footwear has
been lost, or maybe the leather
shortage of World War II is fi
nally catching up with us. At any
rate, few fashionabie girls will
have clean feet this spring.
In the fashion picture, as every
where else, where there are girls,
there are boys, sooner or later.
Thank heaven, this year we are
better able to tell them apart, in
most cases.
One is hardly likely to see a girl
wearing a paisley tie, for instance.
These colorful ties are high camp
among the boys this year, and true
to form, men of Carolina have
flocked downtown to buy thenm by
the handfuls.
Ties are getting wider by the
minute, the only thing students
feel is worth bringing back from
the prohibition era.
Another big thing on the male
fashion scene is madras slacks.
These look fine after the initial
shock and serve a useful purpose,
too. Statistics showv that to dlate,
no male wearing madras slacks
has been hit crossing Green Street.
You can see them coming.

Transportatior
Problems To I
By TOM PREWETT
Feature Editor
In these troubled days when the
prospects of being sent to Viet
Nam, being bombed or attacked
even by beings from outer space,
one considerably more real and
perplexing problem remains, the
problem of finding transportation
for a date.
Friday or Saturday night often
finds many Carolina male students
pulling out their hair in anguish
when they discover that their
means of transportation has been
withdrawn.
If the date is a truly under
standing one and cares for the
boy, she won't mind walking.
But the weather often does not
make things that simple. Unex
pected torrents of rain will
doubtlessly fall on that night of
nights even if there has been a
drought going on for the last
three months. The city becomes
a tropical rainforest and the
streets resemble the canals of
Venice. There is nothing left to
do but call the whole thing off
. . . unless wheels can he ac
quired.
There is always the taxi for the
student who can afford this lux
ury. However, if he is the typical
Carolina male, the cab fare would
leave him short on the price of
admission at the movie or what
ever the entertainment for the eve
ning is to be. Cab drivers are not
as a rule, very charitable people
so there is no chance of begging
off. Of course if you are lucky
enough to be able to afford the
taxi, there is a good chance of a
wait of an an hour or so before
the taxi meets you at the place
where you are waiting. By that
time the entertainment for the
evening will probably have begun
and all the best part of the movie,
play or what-have-you will be
over. Then even if the taxi arrives
on time there is a good chance
that you and your date will never
reach your destination alive. Taxi
drivers are usually ex-kamikaze
pilots who haven't qu:te lost their
desire to make it to that great
Geisha House in the sky while
taking a few extra victims along
to boot.

portation, you may wish to' try
the bus. The bus offers endless
avenues of terror for the "car
less" couple. You will have the
great pleasure of waiting on
windswept street corners until
the bus arrives. All sorts of
"characters" will drift past you
(if you're lucky they won't stop)
to make you wish that a police
man were handy and also that
your date weren't so fetching. It
is at times like this when you
are praying that your girl won't
come out with those fateful
words . . "That creep is both
ering me . . . tell him to beat
it."
So finally your bus arrives and
you get safely aboard. You find
that your friendly, courteous
driver is not only in his eighties
but also blind or very close to it.
As you walk to the back of the
bus, the driver floors the accelera
tor and charges forward sending
you and your (late to the back
of the bus like a pair of guided t
missiles. Once you pick your date
up and the contents of her pocket
book, you can sit back and watch
the slow old ladies, small children,
assorted cats and dogs and street
corner mendicants being run down
by the relentlese juggernaut-like
bus which misses its would-be vic
tims only by inches.
Usually the rider snaps out of
his shock quick enough to realize
that he has missed his stopping
off place by about three blocks.
At this stage of the game, the
rider is happy to get off any
where and walk back to the
night's entertainment in spite of
rain, earthquake or whatever
the weatherman has planned for
the night's meterological phe
nomena.
These means of transportation
may be treacherous, unreliable and
blood-curdling . . . but about five
chances out of ten, they will get
you to your destination with noth
ing but a few extra gray hairs to
show for your traumatic experi
ence. It is suggested, however,
that if you should have to resort
to these means of getting your g
(late somewhere that you observe
the friendly practice of taking out
life insurance policies on one an
other . . . you never can tell, you
know.
