Helpless Designers Victims Of Culture, Authorities Say CHICAGO, Oct. 4-UP)--Ameri- can women have the most glam- orous hair in the world, an Aus- tralianhair dresser saidetoday, but "they must learn to relax" or they will get that European "bombed look." If milady doesn't stop letting things get in her hair, said Fred- eric Rau of Melbourne, her hair "may fall out or at least lose its luster," because "nerves have everything to do with hair." "In England hair is rotten to- day," Rau told a reporter at the National Hairdressers and Cosme- tologists :Association meeting. "The bombings did it. They shattered women's nerves and ruined their hair. "Your American women have the finest hair in the world and enough money to keep it that way. "But I wish the American wom- an would slow down. Take it easy. Steady her nerves. Or she will look as if she was bombed, too." The weekly Sunday Open House will be held 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. to- day in the Grand Rapids Room of the League. Entertainment will include gaes and juke box music furnished by the League social committee. Chairman of the event is Barbara Busse. By JAKE HURWITZ The decline and fall of milady's; hemline has caused more furore than anything since Dizzy Dean tried to rewrite the grammar rules for the King's English. Before skirt lengths fall another inch, you might as well know, kiddies, that nothing short of a scissors is going to shorten your new skirt. Those vile epithets you have been hurling at the helpless de- signer are futile. He, or she, like the rest of us, is a victim of our culture, according to Jane Rich- ardson and Alfred L. Kroeber in their study, "Three Centuries of Women's Dress Fashions: A Qual- itative Analysis," published in 1940 by the University of California Press.. These cyclical permutations of our calture, Prof. Kroeber thinks, are priiaarily a departure from or adherence to a constantly chang- ing ideal for women's dress. Designers Have Foresight The part of particular individu- als in molding basic dress style is comparatively unimportant. Evenr the great personalities of an age do little more than change acces- sories of fleeting mode. A success- ful designer, however, Prof. Kroe- ber says, has foresight enough to recognize the coming of a new style. War and social unrest tend to precipitate a change in the ideal, and thus tend to disrupt the estab- lished dress style. In normal times adds Prof. Kroeber, the ideal tends to vary only slightly. Prediction Is Unsafe Anyone who attempts to predict the whereabouts of the hemline ten or 50 years hence, is putting himself out on a limb. According to Prof. Kroeber the only safe pre- diction is change. Already it has been alleged that an upperclass coed followed by two sorority pledges holding up her train was caught trying to force her way through the Union front door. So you see, gals, there is no use fighting this thing, it is bigger than all of us. Coeds interested in serving on committees for Recogni- tion Night may sign their names on the list posted on the bulletin board in the Under- graduate Office of the League. Women are especially needed to help with refreshments, dec- orations, and publicity skits and posters.
