Let's Look
Collegiate
By Patsy E. Bell
Welcome back to another year of stress and strain
that’s required in order to get that piece of paper waiting
for us at the end of the rainbow. There is also another rain
bow that includes our everyday fashions. Every morning
when we’re getting dressed for school we all have the same
problems of what we’re going to wear and if This matches
That. Well this is where I come in. I’m going to tune you in
on the latest fashion gossip as I get it. I’m going to tell you
how important it is to put our This and Thats together and
make the outfit look real good.
This year as we all know bright colors, crazy jewelry,
silk scarfs, small purses, window pane stockings and the
very low heel shoes are the things. All of these things are
the latest and they really look fashionable on some of us.
We all want to look good, but with the desire to keep in
touch with the latest thing we sometimes forget ourselves
and don’t always look as good as we intended to. The main
thing on our minds is keeping up with the latest trend in
fashion, but it isn’t always possible because every new fash
ion can’t be worn by everybody so if you think, and you
know it really doesn’t become you, just sit back and wait
your turn because a new fashion is being made right now
and who knows, maybe it’ll be just right for you.
I’ve taken a man to man survey on different items to
let you know what our men think and have to say about
what we’re wearing and who should wear it .First I took
the Window Pane Stockings and asked six (6) young men
what they think of them and here’s what they said:
1. I think they should be worn under pants so they
can't be seen.
2. These little bird leg girls should especially stay out
of them because it looks like their legs are locked up
in a cage.
3. I think they are nice on young ladies with nice size
legs.
4. They draw too much attention to be so ugly.
5. They look like the latest thing from a Mad magazine
instead of Glamour.
6. I think they’re O.K., providing they are worn with
the right attire which in my opinion is the mini
dress.
Oh, well, girls, looks like the gentlemen just scratch the
window panes off our list. So unless your legs are large
enough and you’re wearing a mini dress, you had better
stay away from them.
Next I took the mini dress or skirt and here’s what I
got.
1. I think they’re the best thing that could happen to a
dress.
2. I think they’re nice if the legs aren’t big enough to
spoil the view.
3. I think they look good on the small as well as large
legged girls.
4. I think they are cuter on the thin legged girls be
cause it gives them that Twiggy look.
5. Mini’s are great for all females, teachers as well as
students.
6. I think if the teachers (females) would wear them
they would get more attention and respect.
Well, at least we got a break with the mini dress, so
you had better take advantage of this chance.
The last thing I asked about was, do you think young
ladies look better with or without makeup and why?
1. I think they look great with it providing it isn’t too
much.
2. I think the natural woman looks better any day
without her war paint on.
Hi, Everybody,
HISTORY OF MBC —IN RHYME
In January, Eighteen Eighty-one
A grand idea for “growth” was born
For the A. M. E. ’s envisioned dream
Became a plan with a brilliant gleam,
A new and a “higher” learning place
Would a selected site embrace
To give to those who should so desire
A chance to greater goals aspire.
Then four years later, and in May
There come the long awaited day
The school received its charter dear
Which signaled “the time to teach is here.”
This school was named for one renowned
An A. M. E. Bishop, Morris Brown
Who valiantly had fought the fight
To establish the church for spiritual insight).
This college, Liberal Arts design
Influences, greatly, many a mind
Theology, too, became a part
of the institution from the start
A change in name for one short span
Became a part of MBC’s plan
Only to have the name restored
That originally was the one employed
A program was planned to serve the Mass
A normal school, a music class
Fields such as law, religion too
But, the “normal” was abolished in ‘thirty-
two (1932)
The Business School that merged therein
Did very satisfactorily blend
To give the students choices, “more”
Than they had ever known before
The school from her old site did move.
In every way, it did improve.
Next it was to affiliate
with Atlanta University — That’s Great!
And “grew” it did, and grow it will
This college, resting on the hill
Expanding here — expanding there
Rated “Class A” — Its honor to share
With those who passed its hallowed gate
Physicians, Nurses, lawyers great
Teachers, college professors, and more
Have walked, and will walk, through M B’s
door.
—Sandra C. Smith
How Freshman Feel About
The Initiation Period
C. B. — It's okay, but some try
to be too nasty.
L. L. — I like it.
Kooky — Sometimes aggravating,
sometimes all right.
E. E. — I like it if it’s conducted
in the right way.
Y. F. — I believe in it, in order
to be a full Brownite, if it’s in
the right way.
R, W. — That’s a very silly
tradition. It simply shows a
lack of confidence on the persons
who pratice it.
A. J. — To a point it’s all right,
but when you take it too far
students regret coming here.
P. G. — It’s all right if not to the
extreme.
D, A. — It should have started
and stopped at the end of orien
tation week,
S. S. — It’s all in fun.
D. S. — It’s wonderful.
T. W. — Good for adjustment.
M. S. —Ugh!
Y. L. — It’s all right, if it’s all
3. If some of them didn’t use it, I don’t see how I’d
make it through the day.
4. I think with the eyes properly made up it makes
them look very sexy.
5. Let’s face it, no girl is so beautiful that she can’t
stand a little make up here and there.
Well, Ladies, the fellows really had some answers for
us on how we should look, so let’s be nice to them and start
by taking heed to what they have said because after all, its
important to us that we look good to them.
I hope these opinions have cleared your mind as to
whether you should wear This with That or use That with
This. I really hope you will take under consideration what
best becomes you and then center your fashion know-how
around this and soon you w T ill be surprised how many fel
lows will really compliment you on how nice you’re look
ing, and when you’re looking nice they’re feeling better.
So until next time when we have some of the ladies,
opinions on what you men should wear to help your appear
ance, this is Patsv saying, KEEP LOOKING" COLLEGI
ATE! ! !

Marching Wolverines
(Continued from Page 1)
of the Marching Wolverines
(from 25 to 115) in the past five
years. This progress was made
only through sacrifices made by
each band member and all others
involved. Almost every evening
when everybody else has gone
home you can find the band
hard at work on the field, some
times staying as late as 9:00
o’clock. During the lunch houi
you also will find the band
hard at work preparing for some
game or other special perform
ance. It sort of makes you won
der if it is all worth it. Then
things like the performances in
the coaches All Star game, one
of the Falcon-Redskins, games
and now performing in one of
the country’s largest parades in
the country, remove all doubt
about its having been worth it.
The entire staff of the Wol
verine Observer is proud of the
band and the progress it has
made and wish you much con
tinued success in the future.
