Just In Case
The chaperone, the soft-hearted victims of ACC
social regulation, is becoming a very rare creature to
obtain. Each social function sponsored by and-or paid
for by a recognized college organization. The problem is
that there are not enough willing chaperones to go
around. One keeps seeing the same faithful faces at
every function.
The question is what purpose does the chaperone
serve. The famous reply to this is “just is case.” Just in
case of what? Evidently there is very much to be afraid
of because of the nearly impossible task of finding
available victims.
Regulations require, “full-time faculty, ad
ministrators, sponsors of organizations, housemothers
and spouse or date of full-time faculty and ad
ministrators when accompanying the full-time college
employees,” to serve as chaperones. Socials with less
than 100 students require two chaperones, one of whom
must be an employee. Both chaperones at a function of
over 100 participants must be college employees.
A year or so ago a form was sent to eligible “can
didates” for “student sitting” duties in order to find out
who was willing to volunteer their services. A list of
available chaperones was to be distributed to ap
propriate associations. The list was so minute the ad
ministration was embarrassed to print it.
It seems this fact is itself says a lot for the rules
requiring organizations to seek out the professor or
administrator and asking him to take his time and
patience to hover over a group of college age students.
The majority of the college employees do not want to
be chaperones and the student body has not asked to
have chaperones, so why must chaperones be a
necessity in order to hold a social function? These few
faithfuls have not been able to stop“on the street”
drinking in the past. If students are not allowed to drink
durinj^ the function they are going to the streets to do so
but this poses an entirely different problem. Most of the
social functions hold no appeal for the chaperone and
provide only a source of irritation for them (case in
point, the Big Brother concert).
The answer to the chaperone problem must come in
one of two ways. The administration must (1) open
qualifications to any responsible adult or (2) eliminate
the chaperone stipulation for social functions.
As long as the situation continues as it presently
exists, no one is going to be happy. By the way, the
students owe a large debt of gratitude to these soft
hearted souls who are always available for the thankless
task.

Through The Looking Glass
Thumbing through the
Collegiate one can really see
how things are changing at ACC.
Take note of this article
describing the 1956 fashion tr
end. Keep in mind this was the
year the Bohunk opened, (for all
you that don’t know what the
Bohunk is, just ask around.)
Shoes are getting the eye
appeal with two tone colors, side
slits at the toes, tall slender
heels, and the beautiful two-
texture, suede and leather
casuals.
Stoles are providing popular
this fall and winter, as can
seen in Wilson stores. There are
white crocheted, metallic thread
jersey, and colored woolens.
Seen combining with the skirts
and sweaters on our campus is
the criss-cross fold of neck
scarves in top of sweaters and
pinned to the outside of sweater
necklines.
Many girls on campus are
making the most of small waist
with wide belts.
At the informal campus
dances college students have
looked very neat and well
groomed, wearing smart looking
casuals, the girls in sweater and
skirt ensembles and the men in
dark trousers with collegiate
shirts.
Clothespins are very much in
the news now, starting on
collars, pockets, waist bands,
and even sock tops.
November fashion notes;
1. Sheathes are not as severe
in lines.
2. Sheathes are also featured
in evening dresses with the
camisole top.
3. Full length evening gowns
are in vogue-representing
romance,
4. The evening colors are soft,
stunning shades.
5. Shirts are yards round or
clinging wisps.
6. Gloves are being worn to all
tailored affairs. They add that
“Fair Lady Look”.
Ever think of this wt
walking, working, or playing
campus...“I watched you foi
moment.”
“Women are so easy to pie
that it is a wonder more m
don’t know how.”
This could be extended fn
better grooming to all our livf
“When we are wrong, make
easy to change,
When we are right, make
easy to live with.”
