Afro- Look Debuts on Campus The key idea behind the Natural hair-cut is to look Hnaturaln Another drastic change in fashion seen at M-DJCN is that of the Afro-look, a look which has been absorbed across the country like water by a tissue. Whether the motiva- tions are those of militance or comfort, pride or conformity, the results are the same, and they're smashing. Girls are cutting their hair in the manner of Miriam Makeba, putting all the emphasis on the face and great looking large eyes. This hair-do, the Natural, is one of the most unpretentious fads to come along in the fashion world. No matter how widely spread the hair-style becomes, it will always have the terrific look of individuality and naturalness. Boys, too, have stopped straight- ening their hair in order to achieve their own look, the Afro-look. Combine this with some swinging bell-bottoms, minis and mixed ac- ..

Omar Callejlz, looking distinguished in a modbfied Nehru. NEHRU ON CAMPUS When Nehru first donned his hip-length jacket with the priest-like collar, it's unlikely that he could have known that it would create a sensation equal to that of Peggy Nloffit when she unvoluptiously modeled Rudy Gernrich's topless bathingsuit, but the effect on the world of fashion has been just as explosive. No, that isn't a priest sprouting obscenities to the rolling dice at the crap table of a Nassau casino. That's just a fashionable young man in a Nehru who happens to be losing the shirt off his back, a silk shirt in this case. How do you tell a priest from a Nehru-ite? Look for a wedding ring. fOn second thought, today even that is no guaranteej At Dade you'l1 see it in all its glory. There it is being spilled on in the cafeteria. There it is in a Corvette looking for a parking place. And there it is again covered with paint, sneaking out of an art class. Nehru-mania knows no age or sex. Tiny tots and senior citizens are adorning themselves according to this trend in high fashion, and the trend is being milked for all it's worth and a lot more. There it is, hanging on the racks at Saks, hanging on the racks at Woolworthls, and hanging on the backs of some of the least likely people, in shades from red to purple, in paisley prints or polka-dots, under the beads and over the bell-bottoms, they're you'll find Nehru.. . and there you'll find Nehru .... and there you'll find Nehru. . . Could this be what Nehru originally had in mind? T scss

Hair is in. Long, short, dirty, clean, real and phony, hair is definitely in. lVl-DJCN students are following the hair fashions and setting a few of their own. The sexes are becoming less distinguishable, if no less compatible. There are several looks predominant in this vol- canic eruption of floods of hair. For the girls the big trend is long, flowing hair which, in the warm Florida season, suggests a picture of an Eskimo taking a sunbath. The boys are finding their own thing in the biblical look, which recalls an image of john the Baptist or John Lennon, depending upon your own figures of reverence. Short hair is growing increasingly popular, but the layers of whispy, short strands bear a stronger resemblance to Carl Sandberg than Mia Farrow. However, the mood is casual and free, and that's what really counts. Yards of hair and yards of clothing done! leave much to the imagination. dog, why not? ScLssors? What are scissors? The be-witching hour at Scott Hall Other styles we observed while scouting Scott Hall include the short, 'frizzy look of curly hair, shooting out of the head in every direction in direct defiance of the laws of gravity. Girlls hair, parted down the middle and hanging, in shades the color of vanilla ice cream or French's mustard takes on the appearance of an Afghan hound. But thatls such a great looking Then, of course, there are the beards, straight out of Camelot and Dodge City. Sideburns spread out in various shapes and angles, serving the purpose of framing the face, or hiding it, as the case may be. Moustaches are full and floppy. The overall look is either great or grotesque, but whatls important is the spirit of the thing. The big word is freedom, and who knew more about freedom than cavemen?
