...Harvard, going sockless is to the "preppy-clubby" set what the armless sweatshirt is to the athletic crowd. Northwestern Student Leader Skip Mylenski wouldn't have thought of attending the homecoming dance at Chicago's Edgewater Beach Hotel any way but bare-ankled. Columbia University students skip the hose for Manhattan theater dates, and at Berkeley, when Theta Delta Chi threw a party, nearly all of the brothers turned up sockless. Maintains Theta Delt David Greenlee, 20: "When you walk down Telegraph among all the beatniks, and you're wearing a pullover sweater and Daks...
Someone told you to wear old clothes, so you've scrounged around for the worst sweatshirt and dungarees you could find. Cavers usually prefer coveralls, since any tight place can pull your sweatshirt up over your head, and then your chest gets painted with mud.

To disguise her sex, she wore a hooded blue sweatshirt, but when that got too warm, she peeled down to a black swimsuit and Bermuda shorts. For a good portion of the race, she jogged alongside Alton Chamberlain of New York, who said afterward: "She didn't look half as bad as some...
...Decaying Everywhere." Author of Eve of Destruction and 30 other "songs of our times" is P. F. Sloan, 19, who allows that his inspiration comes from being "bugged most of the time." A graduate of the breezy West Coast "surf sound," Sloan traded in his sneakers and sweatshirt for black leather boots and a Hans Brinker cap this spring, set out "to say what I feel," that is, an impression of "a decaying everywhere." Says he: "Society is so confused. There are triple roadblocks and detours wherever you go, and no one knows which road to travel." Viet...
