Wright J o Page 8 THE SIGNPOST t m rtrj;;: L a T rl '-"7 '- A" ' r - (& & ft Jim hi r - - rzra&ta r Bermuda shorts and sandals are favored by the men as well as women for casual wear. A recent Signpost survey indicated that women didn't mind bermudas, but despise beards and B.O. Coeds Comment Boys, Mot Girls, Wear Bermuda Shorts, Sandals by Lucy Lusty Ask any girl any question and she'll tell you the answer. Shucky-durn, will she! Especially if the subject is anything at all related to those big he-men you see all over the Weber State campus. Just go into the library, the cafeteria, or on any sidewalk and there they are. Look but don't touch - - hands off, honey. They have a lot of defects. In fact when asked, Weber coeds canenumerate, reiterate and actually become quite verbose about it all. Out of 179 questioned, the most outstanding aspect of personal appearance that turned girls off fast was hair. Seventy four girls used reverberating terms as greasy, doggy, feminine, dandruff, curly, crew cuts, shaved football heads, cow licks, vaseline-plastered hair, and "I like a guy to look male not like a big question mark." Thirty five put beards on the yuck list. They blackball combing beards where girls are, five o'clock shadows, guys too lazy to shave closely and waxy mustaches. Thirty with distaste curling their rubyred lips talked of unclean-liness, sloppiness, being un-ironed, and wearing the same shirt or windbreaker for a week. Twenty three spoke withcontempt-colored tones of bermudas, sandals, nanny nurse white-legs, athletic socks with a red and navy stripe around the top, dirty shoes, stretch pants, grubby t-shirts or chopped sleeve sweatshirts - generally the big grub. Cowboy boots and the pearl buttoned shirts invoked the wrath of eighteen American rose beauties. Phony was the word to accompany the traditionally heroic cowboy. Isolated comments range from banning BO and halitosis to Dad's diamond socks, white socks with suits, white socks, pastel socks, acne, baggy pants, food fragments like peanut shells on the teeth, dirty nails, low slung levis, high pants, levi jackets, shrunk shirts, hush puppies, pinky rings and rolled-up shirt sleeves. So say, big fella, if all you have is white socks and baggy bermudas forget it and crul up with your pictures on the wall. Or you could cross your legs, smooth your eyebrow with your moistened finger, smile and smile. DIAMOND RINGS ATHENA FROM $125 R L. West R. P. West After a long 16 month retirement, this column again makes a return - - only to last for one week. Oh well! Rip Van Winkle didn't miss too much. Thanks go to the thousands who wrote asking for more, especially the one letter that did the trick--and you would never guess who wrote that letter. Anyone who has read this far might ask: '-Why have a column like this in a college newspaper? Why have a name like Flicker Talk"? Relax, now next week is dead week. If you can't think of an answer, then wait till exam time, and an answer will come. But if you really care, you'll read on. The answer is waiting. Most college and university newspapers have columns expressing opinions or thought. Very few papers have columns appealing to the entertainment senses of young aggressive Americans. This column wishes to deal with reviews or "talk" about theatre, movies, TV or radio. "Flicker" is a long word for the flicks. Passing the formalities, it's on with the show. The big success story this year is Dean Martin. He was the quiet one teamed with Jerry what's his name. Predictions at their parting, years ago, is nowhistorjv But surprisingly enough, Dino has made the history. Several stars make $1 million a year gross from films before Uncle cuts in. But this year, Dean Martin, the one who stars in a TV show of the same name will gross $5 million. Very few stars are involved in movies, TV, recordings and night clubs. One might think that Sinatra, Hope or Crosby come close, but are far short. Even the Beatles must be dismissed as four against one. Dino's royalties breakdown is $2 million for movies; $1.6 million for TV; $750,000 for recordings; and $300,000 for night clubs. His royalties will no doubt be more. f The tSellat GRADUATION ELEGANCE THE SUPERBLY CRAFTED FL0RSIIEIM IMPERIAL Wing tip styling distinguished good taste in a class apart from the ever changing fads in shoe design.
