THE MICHIGAN DAILY ancy Clothes, Polished Etiquette eveal Little of Real Personality Berets Add Yearly Fad I n Headwear By MICHAEL HARRAH Most people have heard the hacgneyed phrases "handsome is Ss handsome does" and "beauty is only skin deep," many, many times. But, as is the case with many time-worn monikers, these too did not appear on the scene nor en- dure so long without cause. And so one could buy the finest clothes available or use the most extravagant make-up, but that doesn't do anything to change one's real self. Dress Improves Conduct Surveys and just general ob- servations have offered proof that one's general coduct and conver- sation tend to vary directly with one's dress and appearance. If a person is dressed up in a sport coat and slacks or a suit, he tends to act with more dignity than if he is dressed in a T-shirt and blue jeans. And speaking of standards, that raises the matter of etiquette and general courtesy, which is a very re'al part of appearance and de- corum A gentleman's opening a door for a lady, pulling out her chair so she may sit down, rising when she enters the room or getting up when everyone, is seated, all are slwly taking on the label of 'queer,' 'ancient,' or 'affected,' when they really are anything but that. Brighter Colors Indicate Decline Of Beat LookStyle By MARTHA MacNEAL The most outstanding new fea- ture of the beat look on campus is that it seems to be disappearing. Those few who remain, however, are still as conservative as ever, with the same tight blue jeans, hweatshirts, somber sweatshirts, sandals, and beards. One girl was recently observed 'wearing the same'jeans and sweat- shirt for three consecutive days. On campus she was barefoot, but in her lectures she wore tennis shoes. Fringe Groups An outer fringe is growing, not quite beat, but hardly of the elite. In this group, several new styles are becoming popular. Men are becoming to favor extremely bright colors in all-cotton sports shirts, plaids, paiseleys, and even .lower prints in pink,, lavender, blue, purple, orange, yellow, and green. Corduroy wash'n wear shirts, poncho pullovers, and reversible vests are rising in popularity. The vests even come in 100 per cent nylon imitation Persian lamb for about $20. Other cotton shirts sell for about $5.Bulky sweaters tend toward wide stripe and argyle pat- terns, in subdued rust, olive, and ochre. Sandals Favord Sandals are still favored, and poncho pullovers may be observed on women as on their male coun- terparts. The beat girl still wears her hair long and straight, some- times fastened in the back with a barette or a more elaborate'orna- ment.'. The hard-core beat, though nearly extinct on this campus, may be distinguished by his preference for dark, subdued colors. The sud- den brightness favored by the fringe group is a new style unto This type of courtesy is called etiquette. It has come to have rules and "do's 'n don'ts" just like parliamentary procedure. It's a sort of chivalry, but it didn't die with knighthood. And although it may seem very superfluous and unnecessary, it sets people apart from mere animals. Eases Task To be sure, etiquette is time- consuming, and it probably doesn't add anything to the specific ac- complishment of a situation. But one who practices etiquette will find his task of gaining acceptance a lot easier., Etiquette is quite like flattery- hard to rebut and very pleasant. The other type of courtesy is FQ Quiz Ri T o Deotermi perhaps more a courtesy of mor- als-decorum, if you will. It involves using clean, pleasant language, speaking in an enjoy- able tone, handling any situation with a certain a propos, behavior and just generally conducting one- self with quiet but resourceful de- termination. It is not at all pleasing to hear someone going about swearing a blue streak, or injecting some ob- scenity wherever it might fit, no matter how elegantly that person may dress. But even the shabbiest person will not be rejected if he or she is neat and clean and conducts his or herself with that certain taste and aplomb that goes a long way toward winning acceptance. ates Ability ne Fashions] v- By RISA AXELROD How's your F.Q.?-fashion quo- tient, that is.
