ROME, July 6. - Rome's
fall fashion show opens next
Tuesday in the Palazzo
Venezia and for the first
time the designers will show
their collections under one
roof.
In the past. the II mem
bers that make up the Ro-
man alta moda" couture
houses have shown their COL
lections separately and at
different locations, making it
difficult for out-of-town buy
ers and fashion writer's.
Irene Brin. a pint-sized
energetic writer for Italian,
Spanish and American mag
azines, was instrumental in
getting the fashion houses
together.
Contrasting Shows
The Rome showings have
long been contrasted critic
ally with the Florence show
ings, where designers for 10
years have been displaying
their combined collections at
the Pitti Palace.

the Roman couturiers, work.
ed out q compact, co-or-
dinated package at the
Palazzo Venezia designed to
give Florence a run for the
foreign money.
The Rome show will last
three days.
On July IL boutique and
accessory collections will be
on view in the Mosaic Acre
that used to be the private
Office Of Italian dictator
Benito Mussolini.
The actual showings will
begin the following day in
an adjoining room, massive
with fresco and hung with a
mammoth chandelier.
The last day will bring out
the big guns Of the couture:
FOntana, Gattinoni, De Luca,
EIeanora GaFnett, and
Baratta.
RumorS are rampant that
the unfitted-fit Is the big
news in Italian fashion, and
color, long a mainstay, Is
brighter than ever.
Fernando Gattinoni and
Eleanora Garnett are the
feminists of the Roman group,
contending they crea tie
clothes for clients, not for
the press.

travelled from 80 to so miles day
to six schools in nearby counties
Another 90 education majors will
follow a similar routine in the COM
ing second semester
Short Scheduling Time
The decision to abandon public
elementary and secondary Seduca-
ton in the county left the college
administration short of scheduling
time for planning student teach
ing program last summer. Dr..
Landlord pointed out that the pro-
gram had to be set up in hurried
fashion which resumed In som E
scheduling difficulties. To assure
the student the courses she would
need could be obtained at tn e
same time the practice teaching re-
quirement was being met. class
schedules and curriculum require
ment were worked out jointly.
The college administrator stated
that the chief difficulty encountered
was the fact the students had to
be sent out all day. rather than the
two OF three hours required when
they could walk to the two Farm
vile schools, the elementary school
owned by and located on the
campus. This year some of the stu
dents have been travelling to adj
jacent counties two days per week
others for three days, and a number
Of them five days each week. Col
lege-owned vehicles are used to
commute daily.
State Requirement
The state requirement for stu
dent working toward a professional
degree leading to a teachers GER
tificatc is the equivalent of five
days per week for nine weeks of
practice teaching in the classroom
Next fall such ninc-weck pro
gram will be used at LongWood,
instead of some taking the prac-
tlcc work two days week for
more than nine weeks. etc. Dr..
Landlord said. College schedules
for next term have been worked
out whereby a block arrangement
draining for nine consecutive weeks
IN tice teaching can be
utilized"
The program for the l9606l term
will be conducted in the m c
counties where the students taught
this term. They include Appomat-
toX. Buckingham. Cumberland and
Charlotte.
Other Counties Interested
Other counties have expressed an
interest in the program, and several
are eager to have their schools
e'lconpasscd in the practice teach
irg project, according to Dr.. Lark
ford.
However. the college president
feels the four counties are entirely
adequate, and there are no plans
to >add to the original four.
The college will continue to send
a certain number Of students to
Roanoke, practice initiated three
years ago because of the expand
Jig enrolment. About Is will do
their practice teaching there during
the current term.
