(. in One of the highlights of the AWS Women ' s Week, was the fashion show held in Smith Family Living Center. 20 COUGAR COEDS PREFERRED FAVORITE MEN The Associated Women Students formu- lated the plans whereby campus coeds were to cast a ballot to elect the most preferred male on campus, in addition to preferring that special one in mind to take her to the Preference Ball. In order to facilitate the horde of girls that wished to prefer and to make it fair in case sev- eral preferred the same fellow, each girl was required to draw for a specific pref- erence time. The following ' eek they were asked to make their choice at that time. When the inevitable happened, two girls preferring the same man, the girl with the earliest time won tlie fel- low. Often the longest wait seemed to be waiting for the preferred date to call and reaffirm that he had accepted the invitation. AWS members inherited the chore of separating the preference bal- lots and filling in the invitations. In order to help the men of campus keep their attention focused on the coeds dur- ing this critical time, AWS sponsored several feminine activities, which, al- thougli the)- excluded male participation, taught the feminines the art of being a woman. A fashion show featuring cam- pus wear started off the week. A very special bridal arts show was also in- cluded during the week. On Friday morning, a special studcntbod) ' assembly was presented. Tliat evening in fi e halls located on and off campus, the Pre- erence Ball was lield. Most Preferred Man Pat Brian and his court of eleven attendants were introduced during the several intermissions. After the Ball, co- eds treated their dates to a midnight dinner or refreshments at a group party in their dorm apartments or at a restau- rant. Despite the trapped feeling by the men, the coeds did put on a great show.
