PAGE TWO Letters Mass Production TO THE EDITOR Nick Ranieri being repri manded for not saying "hello," on the local radio station, by one of our coeds, is typical of the con ditions that the "hello spirit" has dropped to here at State. We are certainly dying in our old col lege traditions which is making this school a fac tory for turning out students. One Whisker Coming Up! TO THE EDITOR: Being neither a furrier or a taxidermist, I know not the price of a new hide for our missing lion. Being a C and F student, however, I do know that enough quarters drop ped into the box at the S. U. desk could buy one. Here's my two bits; let's call it an investment in at least one whisker on the old boy's face.

Kelly mt• 10 1114111 111.11 R 4 Have Your Graduation Photos Taken at the Lion Studio 136 East College Avenue THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA One Man's Meat When Phineus T. Glockenspiel, Collegian's au thority on women's fashions, dropped into the office yesterday he had a smile on his face. Accord ing to PTG his campaign against the drooping hem line is picking up supporters everyday. His report on the situation, both locally and nationaly, is surprisingly optimistic. —EI. Dillon Question—What s was the reaction to the last report on longer dresses printed in Collegian last week? Answer—Varied! Some of the more stubborn coeds took one look at the column and raged, "So Glockenspiel thinks he can change women's fash ions, does he? We'll show him!" The next day skirts were longer than ever. Some few good souls were convinced and they busily raised their hem lines. The men voiced their approval almost uni versally. J. Arthur Stober, liberal and enthusiastic editor of Froth, immediately scraped plans for a "Here's to You, Doggie" issue for November and immediately started work on a "Stem-the-Hem" issue. —Ed Simon The local campaign received a boost when Sun day papers carried the story that the Duchess of Winsor, recognized as one of the world's ten best dressed women and a definite leader in fashion, turned thumbs down on the "New Look" and vow ed not to lengthen her skirts. The Duke also ve toed the new trend and this may have had some influence on the declaration of the Duchess. A journalism graduate from lowa State who wishes her name kept secret else she be declared a traitor to her sex wrote us a letter which was printed in Collegian. She also enclosed a clipping from the lowa State College newspaper which ex plains the campaign now being held there. Ex cerpts from the clipping are printed below. "After one week of school, rebellion against the long skirts worn by lowa State coeds has broken out. "A group of students . . . has organized the "Foot Above the Ankle Club. The club de clared Saturday as the official protest day with special emphasis on having a large group of members at the Colorado football game." A large group did turn out with their pants rolled half-way to their knees and the school band joined in the protest with their pants also rolled up. One designer has revolted against the "New Look." The famous Adrian has said that the women of America should have more sense than to fall for the schemes of the fashion designers in Paris. Glockenspiel says "amen" to Adrian's state ment and adds, "Why can't the girls see that the dress designers, in cahoots with the manufacturers, are forcing a fashion on them that the men don't care for and even the girls don't like." Echoing our lowa State reader's final comments, Glockenspiel urged the girls to select the hem-line that flatters them the most and then stick to it re gardless of what the so-called fashion-setters say. As for the coeds who' persist in wearing ankle length street 'dresses, the only solutions are (1) The Little Below the Knee Club, (2) The Foot Above the Knee Club, and (3) a mass demonstra tion. This column will continue to lead the fight and will welcome all suggestions mailed in. Men, let's stem the hem! Editor/ea anu features in The Daily Col legian reflect the opinions of the writer.
