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.

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!
