A fashion Ford
gets meaning
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women’s Editor
NEW YORK (UPI) — The word Ford is a magic one for
Albert Capraro, who at 31 rides a wave of success because
the nation’s First Lady took a fancy to his clothes designs.
“Mrs. Ford put my face on the map,” said Capraro.
“I’m very grateful to her.”
Capraro spoke of his number one customer, Mrs. Gerald
Ford, after the opening of his firm’s first fall and winter
fashion collection. It played to a standing-room-only
audience at a showroom on Seventh Avenue, heart of New
York’s garment center.
The firm is Jerry Guttenberg, Ltd., where Capraro is a
vicepresident. “Business has just skyrocketed,” said the
delighted designer.
We were in the black by last December and we won’t be
one year old until next July. I understand we’ve gone from
about $1.5 million (wholesale) to $4 million volume.”
And that, any way you count it, is a lot of what the
industry called a “Ford” long before Betty Ford was First
Lady. A “Ford” is a design that repeats and repeats in
sales and Capraro obviously has several.
Just what the First Lady may select from Capraro’s fall
and winter collection is not yet determined. Mrs. Ford
hasn’t seen it. And the designer said he had no plans to go
to the White House, as is his custom, before late May or
early June.
What Mrs. Ford will see in any event is a collection
strong on casual looking clothes. “But she can wear so
many silhouettes, there’s no problem,” said the designer
who first touched base at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with
some selections from his spring collection. Both Mrs.
Ford and daughter Susan bought.
For fall, Capraro slimmed the silhouette from last
year’s “big” look in most costumes, but held on to the
wrapped coats, with vast cape tops, and wrapped skirts
which flared slightly, via bias cut, and closed at the side.
Plenty of Capraro designs looked like narrow knickers
tucked into suede boots, but the designer said they
actually were pants which could be worn just as well
outside with slippers.
He put hoods on quilted jackets, combined tweeds and
suedes in a dozen ways, showed jumpers in flecked tweeds
with printed challis blouses, and produced the shirted look
every way for day and evening.
There was some of the oriental flavor—everyone in the
New York garment industry seems to be doing the
Eastern kimono sleeve and coolie coat.
Capraro’s evening look was mostly black satin, notably
in his jumpsuits with center front zippers done in
“diamonds”— actually rhinestones.
Dr. Copeland named
outstanding educator
WOOSTER, Ohio — Dr.
Henry J. Copeland of Griffin,
dean of the faculty and
associate professor of history at
The College of Wooster, is one of
four College of Wooster faculty
members selected as “Out
standing Educators of
America” for 1975.
Those selected as outstanding
educators are featured in a
national awards volume,
“Outstanding Educators of
America,’* published by Fuller
and Dees, Inc.
“Each year at the College we
receive a number of requests
for information and visitors who
want to know how various
programs are being con
ducted,” says Dr. F. W. Cropp,
vice president for academic
affairs at The College of
Wooster.
“All too few realize that one of
Wooster’s greatest assets, if not
the greatest asset, is the quality
of its faculty. It is for this
reason I am pleased that these
four persons have been
recognized and invited to join
other Wooster faculty members
in this list of outstanding faculty
members.”
Nominations for the program
are made by college and univer
sity officials. Guidelines for
Teaching a chimp
to talk with hands
By FRANK E. GRIFFIS
COLLEGE STATION, Tex. (UPI) — A 2-year-old
chimpanzee named Lilly may tell researchers at Texas
A&M University a lot about her world without uttering a
word.
Dr. Ordean Oyen, a physical anthropologist, leads a
research project which involves teaching American Sign
language to Lilly in hopes she will enable the scientist to
look at a chimp through a chimp’s eyes.
“Chimpanzees use different methods and different
communication systems than we are used to,” Oyen said.
“It’s a matter of tapping into that system.”
Oyen is convinced primates such as chimpanzees have
communications systems, otherwise they could not
organize the world they live in. The research is not trying
to make chimps human, Oyen said, but to teach them to
use human gestures to communicate, which requires a
long period of adjustment.
“First of all, there’s the major one of adjusting a wild
caught chimp to the human situation,” Oyen said.
“Likewise, we have to adjust the human system to the
primate, so there is a long time before anything can be
accomplished.”
The 28-pound chimp is comparable to a three-year-old
human in size, but her strength and motor organization is
far advanced than that of a child.
“The problem is, we don’t have Dr. Spock to ask how
much can you expect a 2Vz year old chimp to accomplish,”
Oyen said. “Now we’re expecting it to perform in away
that you can’t expect from a human child.”
Rating a chimp’s intelligence also is difficult for Oyen
and his researchers.
“It wouldn’t perform well in an IQ test, but its
knowledge of edible foodstuffs in East Africa would surely
exceed mine,” Oyen said.
A scientist could just as well expect a child to fly as to
teach a chimp to talk, the scientist said, because the
primate doesn’t have the mental capacity for mastering
the English language. Oyen and his assistants hope Lilly
will learn to apply American Sign Language on her own
rather than mimicking human gestures such as trained
dogs and seals.
“We’re anxious to see if chimps housed together will
react in ways we can understand about things we suspect
they might have been doing all the time," Oyen said.
“They might talk about the weather. We simply don’t
know what the system is.”
American Sign Language is not difficult for a human to
learn, he said. It includes gestures that assume phrases
and can be strung together in very rapid sequence to com
municate a lot of information.

HIS DOWNFALL
CHICAGO (UPI) - Cigarette
smoking was the downfall of a
petty theft suspect Wednesday.
Police said William Riley, 43,
Chicago, boarded a Chicago
Transit Authority train puffing
a cigarette in violation of the
CTA no-smoking rule.
Virginia Cronk told him to
put out the cigarette, but
instead he blew smoke in her
face. The woman, a police
officer assigned to decoy duty
on the train, arrested him.
When he was searched, police
found a carton of steaks, worth
about S6OO, taken from a
restaurant where Riley works,
authorities said.
Riley pleaded guilty to
charges of theft and smoking
on a CTA train and was placed
on one-year’s court supervision.
