The Space Race Everyone remembers the good old days of high school when the favorite extra- curricular activity was called cruising. Cruising consisted of packing as many friends as possible into a single car on Friday or Saturday night and heading to some place like the strip at Hamburger Row to ride for endless hours, hoping to see and be seen by other friends in other cars. Some college students still like to participate in a more sedate method of cruising dur- ing the weekend, but most of them find that their cruising is limited to the never-ending search for a parking place on campus, a marked contrast to the light-hearted cruising of high school days. This form of cruising is not for en- joyment as much as it is of a necessity. Anyone who has ever spent hours circl- ing through the various parking lots on campus can relate to the feeling of ab- ject disappointment one feels when he realizes that that empty parking space just ahead is framed by yellow lines, a loading zone. One commuter is lucky enough to find an elusive parking place on a rainy day. A police car cruises down the strip to keep a check on traffic conditions Cruising 15

Thof Special Look - 5 Homecoming is a time when what you wear is almost as impor- tant as whom you go with. It is the usual custom to wear the latest fashion on this special day, even to the game, and therefore it is a good time to look for what is in. Fashions which made their debut at Homecoming retained popularity throughout the year. Dresses were worn more than slacks, especially so for spe- cial occasions. The skirt length was flexible and ranged anywhere from just below the knee to just above the ankle. Fabrics were soft and flowing for dresses, and suits in tweeds and wools were a favorite as well. Accessories were very important to achieve that special look. Almost every outfit was given an extra something by adding a short matching vest or one of the long, knotted, free- flowing scarves called fascinators. Shoes had very high heels and were often trimmed with gold. Gold also seemed to be the favorite jewelry accessory this year with matching necklaces and bracelets in a very delicate chain, or an add- a-bead necklace. A knotted fascinator accents this tiered dress spiced with satin ribbon trim and elbow length puff sleeves. The softly feminine fabric of this year, Qiana, is perfect for this dress with an opened high mandarin collar. Fashions 17
