HUNTINGTON, w. Va, June "a
Shorts have come TO the Marshall
College campus-but the fair young
eo-eds, not the men,, are wearing them.
What the men will do about it has NOT
yet become evident.
The new outfits consist of dark blue
silk shorts, reaching to a few inches
above the knee, and loW-necked sports
shirts. Whether socks arc worn or not
appears to be a matter of preference.
No official statement was forthcoming
from college officials on the matter OF,
co-eds in shorts, but the belief seemeds
to prevail that college authorities
would not interfere.
