Modest Schwab Nude
Gathers Clothing
During Concert
Can nude statues be classed as
people?
If so. would female figurines on
..:unipus be subject to Dean (,f
Women Pearl 0. Weston's orders
ir. regard to coed dress?
Apparently so, for a sudden
wave of modesty hit one of the
more prominently-displayed nude
figures at the College the other
night.
Maybe it was because of the
Dean's wishes: perhaps it was
just an attempt to acquire the
New Look that caused the statue
of a kneeling woman in the lobby
of Schwab Auditorium to pull sev
eral overcoats over her inanimate
form sometime during the Kapell
concert Wednesday night.
After years of stony indiffer
ence to clothes of any type. the
statue's change in attitude por
tends success to the Dean's plans
to make ladies out of coeds.
