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.

eated in a Regular Air Force commiesion, you'll
be given a chance to qualify.
4. What are the civilian career opportunities?
That's one you can answer for yourself by taking
into consideration these facts: Contrary to what
some people think, aviation is not overcrowded
for pilots or anyone else. No field is expanding
more rapidly or offering more profitable openings
to qualified men. After Aviation Cadet training,
you can compete on an equal basis with any flier
in the world.
These are only a few of the advantages. Why
not stop in today at your nearest U. S. Army
and U. S. Air Force Recruiting Station and
get all the details?
