Wear Clothes, Coeds'
Housemothers Say, It, s
Too Hot, Girls Reply
By Fred Thompson
Coeds who have been trying to combat the local heat and
humidity are in confusion as to what sort of wearing apparel
is prescribed and proscribed by University authorities. Sev
eral have complained to this writer that they are not per-
mitted to wear sunback dresses without trie Doiero uacjceij.
"One would think that college women are mature enough
to dress themselves," observed ' : : "
one campus beauty.
"In coping with this Chapel
Hill heat, I place comfort before
modesty," another said as she
mopped her brow.
A check with the Dean of Wo
men's office revealed that there
is no official policy relating to
coed dress. A spokesman com
mented to the effect that women
who leave dormitories in shorts
or swimsuits are expected to have
dresses or coats over them. This
unwritten law is in existence on
many coed campuses and it has
been well-abided-by here without
complaint.
But the, girls who have sun
back dresses want to wear them
with or without the boleros. And
at least half of over two dozen
coeds contacted in the Y court
would like to expose their should
ers in class if they chose to do so.
Four house mothers who were
interviewed were of the opinion
that such would be contrary to a
request of Miss Katherine Car
michael, Dean of Women, who is
now on a leave of absence. This
request which proscribed sun
backs without jackets for class
wear was passed on to the women
students by their house presi
dents. One housemother, in a chat
with this reporter, said, "The
women should realize that this
is primarily, a men's university.
On class, partially exposed wo
men would excite the men's ani
mal instincts rather than contri
bute to their intellectual enlight
ment and development."
Cultured gentlemen do not re
spect women "who bring the best
out in themselves in the worst
possible way" was the implied
viewpoint of two housemothers.
Two of the four contacted did
not particularly care fr blue
jeans. In fact one said, "I despise
not particularly care for blue
jeans were appropriate wear for
picnics. "The girls must be pro-
tected from chiggers and ticks.
And after all, more is covered
up." Coeds who want to remain
in the good graces of their house
mothers should not linger in the
parlors in such attire. " A parlor
is a parlor" is the way one put it.
Furthermore, i young ladies
must not enter or leave their
residences barefooted.
Back to the sunbacks the con
census of opinion of the house
mothers was that after classes,
the coeds could wear their dresses
as they saw fit But "you'd better
take your bolero along for you
never can tell when it might get
chilly."
The housemotners spoke well
of the manner in which the Caro

Both coeds and men students
are encouraged to have no fear
about attending the various so
cial functions slag. This policy
has been very common and most
acceptable in Chapel Hill dur
ing the summer months for
many years and is about the
only way for students to get
acquainted with each other. Co
eds especially should have no
fear as there will, at any func
tion, be at least a dozen hand,

Car Stops Traffic Light
Chapel Hill's famous pedestrian-traffic Christmas tree
stop light, on Franklin Street in
out as the loser in a battle with
morning.
The stop light, which was
the middle of the street, is re-
portedly the only one of its type
in the nation and serves to stop
traffic to enable students and
other people to cross the street.
However, it was knocked flat
on its bright chrome face by the
automobile, driven by Thomas
Cannady, Jr., who gave his ad
dress as Manning Hall.
According to Cannada, he was
driving wst when a Buick turned
left in f vont of him and caused
him to sverve and skid on the
wet pavement into the light.
He wab charged with reckless
driving and damage to property.
Town officials indicated that
they hoped to complete the re-
erection of the stop light before
the end of the week. ,

Is Favorite Among Summer Schoolers
By Ida Lewis
Many Chapel Hillians have no
ticed a petit figure, garbed in
flowing drapes and wearing long
black pigtails, hurrying through
Y Court or down Franklin Street
since the beginning of summer
school. A closer glance at the
young lady reveals beneath the
jet crown, two equally black eyes,
always sparkling.
The new coed, affectionately
called "Bunny" by her friends, is
Zinat Rasul, a 19-year-old stu
dent from Lucknow, India. A
rising senior at Randolph-Macon,
she came to America in Septem
ber, 1950, in a major in political
science.
Zinat speaks flawless English
and has since grammar school.
In India there are several million
tongues spoken, and English
serves as a common language.
Probably the first thing an
American notices about Zinat is
her clothes. Her outfit, called a
salvar-kamiz, is representative of
her particular district in India.
Gorgeous silks and chiffons are
folded into a coat and pants effect
for everyday wear. A sari edged
in silver is worn by Zinat for
more dressed-up occasions.

consume the limelight. Both her
mother and father are members
of the Legislature, and her mother
was on a special committee to
draw up India's first constitution
in 1950. Zinat is well-informed,
and practically an authority on
Indian affairs. "I was bred on
politics," she laughed.
Zinat is a Moslem. In spite of
so many western ideas, she will
have to marry a man of her
parent's choosing. To an Ameri
can girl, this appears a grotesque
future, but Zinat readily accepts
this fact. She has a great deal
of confidence in her parent's
judgment.
The amount of dating and
mixed companionship in America
is still uncanny to Zinat. She has
never been thrown with , boys,
being kept away from them in
school and at home. It would
seem that her state here would
change her mind, but she solemn
ly declared, "The dating situa
tion here has done nothing ex

er that an arranged marriage is
best. I am sure that I can fall in
love after marrying any man
whom my parents choose."

At home she ate American food,
