THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA 'Skirt at the Knee' WinslCorkie' Title For Jo Berry Jo Berry, sophomore liberal artist, has a new title. It's official, too. She's "Corkie, Queen of the Short Skirt Skip." ISC's Short Skirt Skip Friday night was the beginning of an All-College short skirt week. Miss Berry was chosen by the judges at the dance as the most typical example of how a coed should look in a skirt. Needless to say the judges were male. Her skirt wasn't above the knee, Miss Berry explained, but it wasn't exactly below, either. She admits that she doesn't wear 'em that short ordinarily but she does go on the record as being op posed to the extreme lengths of this season, especially for class. Kappa Sig pledge Don Langer, who was Miss Bery's date for the dance, agrees implicitly with the current campaign against the "new look." Miss Berry, a Chi 0 pledge, is from Lock Haven and attended Lock Haven Teachers College her freshman year. Laurie Zekauskas, Jacquelyn Zivic.
