Packard Works
On Mademoiselle
Speaking of summer jobs, as everyone is these days, Loa Joaa
Packard had one during June which combined practical experience
with a great deal of fun. Miss Packard, a seventh semester English
composition and art major, was a guest editor on Mademoiselle
magazine.
Chosen one of 20 guest editors from a field of 790 other Made*
moiselle college-boarders, Miss
Packard received all transporta
tion expenses to and from New
York City, half of her hotel bi"
and a salary
She worked with the fashion
copy editor and the fiction de
partment. Crammed also into Miss
Packard’s schedule were fashion
shows, parties, a Lord and Taylor
sponsored forum, interviews, and
visits to publishing houses, adver
tising agencies, and fabric com
panies.
Guest Appearances
Miss Packard and -the other
gu'est editors found time, as well,
to be on television, make guest
appearances, take a flight over
New York (and eat a steak dinner
while so doing), and visit the
sights which attract New York
tourists. ■
As one of her assignments, Joan
interviewed Truman Capote, poet
and short story writer, in the
penthouse apartment of a Broad
way producer. She found Capote
quiet, personable, and unaggres
sive. He talked to her of books,
the beginning of his literary ca
reer, and job opportunities for
young writers.
Tell Your Story
Capote said young writers will
find that a good way to get a
story in mind is to tell it to some
one. One of Capote’s stories,
“House of Flowers,” will be pre
sented in play form this fall.
At a party Miss Packard and
the other guest editors met Lily
Dache, John Fredericks, Ann Fo
garty and other fashion notables.
At a party for the guest editors
on the St. Regis roof the ratio of
men to women was three to one,
Penn State style.
Criticized Mademoiselle
Miss Packard won her job by
writing a 3200 word criticism of
the last year college issue of
Mademoiselle. During the months
of February, March and April she
was given assignments in literary
criticism, fashion design, poetry,
cartoons and issue planning.
All in all Miss Packard said she
found New York fabulous, but
wouldn’t like to live there. She
said she felt the people uptown
were blase, untruthful and un
emotional. The people downtown
seemed the opposite, however,
she said.
Joan will serve on the college
advisory board of Mademoiselle
until May.
Biflel Meeting Canceled

i-g Board scheduled to meet at 7

Looking Glass
Okay, stop the shouting and
cheering, I know I’m appre
ciated, that’s why I’m back
(don’t applaud, throw money).
Really gang, it’s great being
in touch with you again—hope
you’ll stick with us during
the year. For those new to
our campus, we’re here to
clue you on what’s new at
that fabulous gift center
ETHEL MESERVE, where
you’ll find the unique, the
unusual and appropo gift. We
have some fun in this column;
if we get too corny, don’t
judge us too harshly, we mean
well.. Any way you’ll see why
they call us Gabbi.
Correspondence cleverness for
the coed
means the latest in stationery
and we think ETHEL’S has it.
Real exciting red paper and
pink ink combos to put fire
in your letters, or to tone it
down, powder blue edging
and ink. For those shorties
(no, not pajamas) gray or
brown paper flecked with
silver, and for the conserva
tive, white paper with cop
per or gold leaf trim. It’s
different and daring, like
Bermuda shorts in the class
room.
Personalize for prestige
and get the finest in Incite
or leather to tag your lug
gage, umbrella or keys. Away
weekends can cause luggage
loss. Avoid it by getting your
John Hancock engraved in
gold. And for those ever con
stant notes—Ethel’s has a real
deal —a silver and crimson
cabinet of engraved inform
als —at the wee wisp of a
price, $2.95 for 100. Marriage
candidates find them price
less, in value that is!
Bring Basin Street to your room
with magi-colored candles
that drip rainbow colors—all
at one time! Find yourself a
suitable bottle (Chianti wine
or such) empty, of course,
and you have all the equip
ment necessary to begin a fas
cinating project. Three of
these come boxed for just $l.
That s it for now kids, but
we ve only begun, till next
week. Why don’t you take
yourself down to ETHEL’S,
browse around and get ac
quainted. Tell them Gabbi
sent you . y.
