much in the last five years.

with the above mentioned favo

will wear.
The emerging favorite for
wear is what Coco
Chanel termed the "liltle suit."
The Jacket, styled on the order
of a man's suit, and the basic
of the skirt manage to retain feminity through the use of
carefully chosen textures, colors
and accessories.
Suits, naturally, demand the

HANDBAGS

over-the-hea- d,

By CAY CISH
When a woman wears her clothes, contrary to popular opinion,
she is not dressing for herself and other women alone. Most women
have men or some special man in mind every time they choose
an article of clothing . . . because the garment is usually bought
for an occasion t" w hich a gentleman is taking her.
How, then, should a woman dress? I would say in the most
flattering and becoming fashions she can find.
The adage that "it's not what you wear but how you wear it"
may be old and considered very trite to many, but to the discerning
dresser, it is the one sure rule for dressing well.
Because everyone is wearing madras cumberbunds, you having
a drawer full is not going to matter if they give you a choppy,
look. Cumberbunds are not for you. And if
you have a tall and elegant figure, fashion models can, but you
usually can't, get away with dressing like a twelve-year-ol(As a point of information, models rarely wear the same type of
clothing which you see on magazine pages beyond the photographer's studio. In fact, models dress as conservatively as college
women.)
Another realm where women often falter and fail involves color
and the mixing and matching of colors and prints. In the last
year it has become camp to break at least two fashion rules you
have always abided by. This is fine if you and your figure can
afford it. One suggestion: go ahead and break a few rules just
make sure as you break them you make a few more to replace them.
And if you must wear your orange sweater with a pink blouse or
d
stockings with Black Watch be careful . . . and
don't advocate the same for everyone!
Most women in college wear only the simple fads because of
price tags and the tendency to be "just one of the crowd." This
is not entirely what I have in mind. A woman should dress, simply,
to be the full woman that she is. The object of dressing well is
to make every one else know, too.

Reorganization or Results?
Student Congress currently is
fighting to present a new image to
students at the University. While
the recent effectiveness of the organization is questionable, a turning point now may be at hand
with a new administration.
This year could very well further
diminish the effectiveness of Student Congress. On the other haiid,
the year could begin a reign of responsibility for student government
on the University campus.
And, with elections approaching, Student Congress easily could
get off to another bad start. The
body, as always, is saddled with
the handicap left by the annual
turnover of its membership, but
we already see signs of a more
serious threat to its existence that
of nearly annual attempts at reorganization.

more workable form of student government is not needed badly, but
we merely want to illustrate that
reorganizational
attempts may
reach a point of diminishing return.
Additionally, many tend to overlook the point that regardless of
the body's structure, it can only
function in terms of the leadership
strength and responsible support
or opposition of its members.
The Kernel supported Winston
Millei and John O'Brien in their
campaign to lead Student Congress
last spring. But we now feel their
day of reckoning is upon them.
They must show the Kernel, as
well as members of the student
body, they they did not support
them in vain.
Therefore, our interest is that
Student Congress not spend too
much time creating an organizational structure which a new administration may decide to change.
A flexible structure should be created to allow each new administration a way of introducing constructive programs in their own way.
As for now, Student Congress
will begin operation under last
year's new constitution. A new
structure probably will not go into
effect before next semester. It would
be easy for the whole semester to
be lost, and perhaps the whole
year. We hope circumstances will
cause no delay in the implementation of new programs for the students.
We urge President Miller to
waste little time in ironing out
this constitutional matter and get
on to areas of student government
needing immediate attention.
Miller already has worthwhile
programs in mind, and we now
urge him to begin these programs
immediately. We hope the fad
around campus to change the organizational structure of student
government every year will not
mean another year lost. This year
the promises of an active student
government must be fulfilled.

The Illuminator
The sunlight inched its way
down upton the empty grave. For
a moment it seemed that its competing beams might overpower the
light which had for so long illuminated that little corner of Africa.
But it could not, for Albert
Schweitzer could not be extinguished by mere death. True, the
physically living man had ceased
to be, but that life, which he so
enjoyed, could never be turned off.
It seems senseless to try to eulogize
a man who is still so much alive,
still so vital.
How can we measure the life
of a man who gave humanity so
much and demanded so little from
it? The answer is simple: We
cannot. We cannot measure something when that something is the
standard for measurement.
Albert Schweitzer was more than
a great man. He relinquished his
opportunity to become a
doctor, a renowned theoa famed musician; and in
logian,
so doing this, he became all of
them and more. He became a truly
altruistic spirit, sharing that which

What Price Honor?
Speaking of Vietnam in a recent
press conference President Johnson
said: "Our national honor is at
stake. Our word is at stake." It
was not the first time that the
Administration has taken this position, but the emphasis and the
timing of Mr. Johnson's remark gave
it special importance.
The commitment involved in the
President's statement is so portentous that it deserves careful
examination. Obviously, if the
honor of the nation is at stake to
such a degree that American aims
must be achieved, then the struggle
is a war to the finish whatever
the cost. If the United States were
to lose its honor in Vietnam it
would lose its predominant place
in world affairs, while the Communist bloc would win a victory
of staggering proportions. This,
clearly, would be unacceptable.
But the question does arise
whether the honor of the United
States is at stake in such a drastic
and precise sense of the word. If
the United States were to give up,
pull out of Vietnam and leave the
country to its fate there would, of
course, be a loss of honor but very
few Americans would argue for such
a solution today. Between doing
that and forcing Hanoi to sue for
peace on American terms there is
a whole gamut of possible settle

ments that would not be at all
dishonorable to any except those
demanding a complete "victory"
over the Vietcong and North Vietnam.
A statement like the one Mr.
Johnson made arouses uneasiness
because of its categorical nature.
The stakes in Vietnamese conflict
are being raised steadily. The Vietnamese conflict and no one needs
to tell this to Washington holds
within it the possibility of a war
with Communist China and a world
war.
It is neither cynicism nor
appeasement to point out that the
word "honor" is not a scientific
but an emotionally charged term
of very high voltage. If President
Johnson means that Americans
would not accept a defeat so humiliating that it represents a loss of
national honor he is right. The risk
comes in determining when, if or
how honor would be lost. There
are even such things as honorable
defeats and dishonorable victories.
And in between are all kinds of
compromises that are neither one
thing nor another but sensibleand
realistic.
In international politics it is
wise to avoid extreme positions.
American honor must by all means
be preserved; it should, however,
be given a reasonable connotation.
