75th~Year Celebration Opens Today
Late Dates, Ideal Girl Among Topics
, Discussed by Panel of Campus Men
i By Kitty Frtitr
Money spent on dates, the "Ideal
Kiri,'" gripes on various habits ct
college women, accepting last min
ute dates, Christmas gifts, pin
nings and corsages all came in
, for discussion by a panel of Joe
(College candidates and other
ean/pus men Wednesday at the In
stallation of freshman YWCA offi
| cers.
* With "no holds barred", the
group of freshman women attend
i_ Ing fired questions at the panel and
got their answers, plus a few more
the fellows added of their own
i accord. Panel members were
Wayne Carothers, Don Parr, Mar
ty Hankinson, Jim Redden, Don
* Aimy and Bob Briggs.
The first topic which came up
for discussion was whether or not
women should share in the ex
. penses on dates. The concensus of
« opinion seemed to be that for an
occasional date, the man should
k pay. But Hankinson stated that
when a couple is going steady,
^ some arrangements could be made
once in a while for the woman to
xnarr m inc*
Parr said tn relation to the topic,
"A lot of fellows arc working their
way through school and can't put
two through." Some fellows would
like to have financial help from
J their dates, Carothera said, but are
1 embarrassed to take it.
Ideal W oman Defined
The ideal woman was Identified
as one who is completely natural,
and "doesn’t put on airs." Don
. Parr went a little farther and said
| she should be "five foot five, with
dark hair that is long and not go
j in for fads."
The group generally agreed that
extreme fads were not popular
with them. One panel member ask
ed a question as to what those
"shoes with the three inch wooden
. soles were." After an explanation
that they were wooden shoes, the
* group decided that they were “all
J right." "When you see a dainty
thing 'clomping' down the side
walk, it makes you stop and look
4 anyway.”
The subject of women who are
| late on dates was given some at
tantion. One member of the panel
(explained though that "usually a
girl Is always on time or she never
A number of "gripes” on worn
en’s habits were presented in an
swer to another question. Caroth
trn disliked two typos of women,
the one who talked all Uie time
end the one who didn't talk at all,
Parr brought up the subject of
smoking. stating that hie gripe
waa the woman who obviously
smoked to “show off and was r< aj
ly only just waving & cigarette
around in the air." The group
agreed that if a man doesn't
smoke, his date shouldn't either. A
woman dating a man who did
smoke was under no obligation to
do so herself, they decided.
Too Mudi Make-up Cited
Hanklnson said that his gripe
was a woman who tried to "put
on” and he stated that a woman
should “be herself." Redden spoke
up against women who obviously
wore too much make-up. Almy was
in favor of the "friendly" woman
who always spoke to acquaintances
on campus.
In answer to a question on
whether or not to accept a date for
Friday night asked for at 4 p m.
the same day, the panel said there
was nothing wrong in accepting it

JIFC Meeting Held Concerning
Plans for Future Campus Existence

meeting this week.

lit was stated that the organization
owas not recognized on campus and
(that it had no purpose for existing.

was handed out by the panel. They
said that such items as sport
shirts, argyles, cuff links or ' any
thing useable' was always wel

dividual matter. Some fellows get
pinned just to have dates, but the
panel felt that pinning should
mean a lot. One defined it as ‘•en
gaged to be engaged" and they all
agreed that it should be considered
quite serimfsly.
Orchids Not Necessary
