So it appears that not only are
styles changing, becoming more
intricate and personalized; but.the
written descriptions and instruc-'
tions are becoming more intricate
and particular. No longer will a
few . terse comments suffice. The
curious person can find out, to
the last stitch, what he should be
wearing.
Is this good? Who can tell. But
it is here, so we shall carry on,
somehow.
And now, to help students join
the ever-growing number of in-
formed clothes-wearers, here are
exact and specific instructions
about just what to wear during
three crucial moments: eating at
the Union, attending an SGC
meeting, and going on a Panty
Raid.
Eating at Union (Downstairs)
Wear clothes you can afford to
soil. Men: purple shirts so nothing
you spill will show. Large bibs
which tie in back. Name-tag with
local address, blood type, and any
known food allergies plainly listed.
Women: Green dresses so every-
thing you skill will match. Large
lockets full of soda-mint. Name-
tags, and disposable plastic bags
in purse.
Attending SGC Meetings
Men: White shirts, coats, and
trousers. Large red heart painted.
on left shirt pocket. Briefcase full
of New York Times, alarm clock,
cheese sandwich, and pillows.
Women: Black dresses with
white heart painted where it be-
longs. Large purse full of hatpins,
orange rind, and pillows.
Panty Raids
Men: Black suits and shirts.
Absolutely no identification. Spiked
shoes for climbing walls. Rope
coiled around waist for getting out
of upper floor windows quick. Bag
for panties.
Women: Panties.
In future years, description arti?
cles will doubtless grow still more
detailed. This is the way it goes.
