No more books, instructors, or familiar faces. We will now venture into other places. for the summer holds many wonders. A new job, marriage maybe, and lots of hot weather. September will be back, and so will others; laughing, joking, helping each other. But for now the end is near; We must part. All of us will be leaving Clark.

By Beverly Ann Quarles Atlanta ‘The Year for Designer Displays Talent By Kent Hindsman Panther Reporter “There is no variation in the way in which a black and white designers design their cloths, the variation comes in the creation of the design,” said an Atlanta black designer.

Have you been paying close attention to the fashions this season? Ladies! Do you know what the latest styles are for the spring? Well if you don’t here is a bit of in formation that may assist you in the ever changing yet repeat ing world of fashion. While browsing about in some of Atlanta’s department stores and smaller boutiques, I found the racks filled with what appeared to be clothes our parents once wore. First of all, ladies, our spring hats resemble those ofthe 40’s and 50’s with anything from elastic chin bands to beaded face nets. Made from natural straws or manmade fibers which appear to be straw, our hats are dynamite. This year there are hots for the classic dresser or the out right all day disco-er. The year of 79 is the year for total dressing, from your head straight down to your feet. Blouses and shirts are sheer and encompass a color range like never before. They are tailored or loose fitting, ruffled or collarless. Belts can range from western styles to accompany the latest designer jeans, to wide pieces of leather which are brightly dyed to mix or match any outfit you desire. Skirts . . . The motto for the skirts this year is “If you’ve got it, flaunt it and much more.” Derndlas are still in but, legs are out. The new slim skirt not only fits every curve but it even splits up the front, sides and for those who dare, the back. Just like the skirt, pants are also slim this season. The new disco pant is simply a modified leotard pant. Let us not forget our footwear, which despite what most people say, tops an outfit. Candies, and not the ones we eat are the latest craze. These are backless high or low heeled shoes that many campus co-eds are now wearing. For those of you who don’t like wearing the extremely high heeled shoe, there’s hope. Fortunately the shoe industry has manufactured everything anyone could ask for. The heels for women’s shoes can be as low as one-fourth of an inch or as high as 4 inches. Men, I haven’t forgotten about you, for your clothing too has changed. Your ties are narrow as are the collars on your shirts. This year even the tuxedo shirt is popular but it doesn’t necessarily have to be worn with the tuxedo. Belts are slim and either extremely decorative or very tailored with classic features. Like the ladies, men’s pants are also slimmer thanlastyear and they usually drape over the heel of the shoe. Pleats are back, and they really give the pants a different look for this season. Not only are the pleats making a come back, so are the small but definite cuffs. The three piece suit is still fashionable but the latest for spr ing is a basic jacket and a pair of matching or contrasting trousers. Shoes! The heels usually range from V2 inch to IV2 inches, (with tapered toes.) Men you are no exception when it comes to color. Your clothes are just as vibrant as the ladies this year. So, don’t be shy!
