"With more women working
after marriage, the man of the
house has as much responsiblity to
home management at the wife,"
states Betty Holland, chairman of
the Home Economics division and
thinking of the fashion-conscious
coed.
Disagreeing with Miss Kates was
Teresa Durbin, Savanna sophomore
who emphasized, "I really like the
trend of fashion today but actually
it should be left up to the girl as to
whether or not she would look best
in a mini, midi, or maxi. Styles are
not the main issue."
Asking Teresa how she felt about
the boy's opinions of the maxis,
she fired back, "Hang the boys,
they don’t have to wear dresses in
freezing weather!"
It looks as though there will be a
majority of mini skirted,
blue-kneed coeds plodding along
the cold sidewalks of Eastern, but
there will also be some bundled up
in midis and maxis scampering to
classes and ignoring the sly

"Football is the major cause of
knee injuries," declares Glen Stone,
Eastern track coach.
Two of Stone's runners. Brad
Swickey, Oklahoma City Northwest

Hartshorne sophomore, wish that
football was the only cause of knee
troubles

and maxis coats hitting down
around the ankles.
"Midis are just a cycle of style
and my opinion coheres to that of
Coco Chanel, creator of Chanel No.
5 perfume, which is that the most
attractive dress length is at least
three inches below the knee,"
emphasized Maryetta Prentice,
Stigler freshman and owner of two
maxis and one midi.
Using a bit of psychology Dixie
Morgan, Snow sophomore, stated
"If the boys would vote through
the Student Senate and let us wear
pants to class we would gladly
discontinue wearing our maxis!"
The red haired cowgirl
continued, Maxi coats are warm
and will come in handy when
winter sets in, but actually I don't
think a midi dress looks good on
girls."
What do the boys on campus
have to say about the coed dress?
Freshman president Danny Askew,
McAlester, sternly commented, "I
don’t like maxis and I think they
should do away with them. Women
should be shown off and not
hidden!"
Bob Talley, Stuart sophomore
grinned and laughingly stated, "I
like minis, maxis are okay and
midis should be outlawed-they are
really bad!"
One owner of a maxi, Donna
Kates, Stigler freshman expressed
her views, "Maxis and midis are
stylish, warm and that is what the
designers put out for us to wear We
have to wear them," illustrating the
