Dear George Eagle,

So you think University of Hawaii coeds dress in a style that should be called the Insipid Look?

Have you ever seen the male students?

The only possible name for the trend style they're following is the Sloppy Look.

I HATE TO accuse a fellow reporter of the terrible crime of being non-objective, but I don't think you were very fair when you went up to the campus the other day.

You came back and wrote a lot of unkind things about the way the girls looked, but you didn't say a word about the fellows.

Either the girls didn't look quite insipid enough to let you tear your eyes away from them, or else (as I suspect) you men just refuse to admit that any of you ever does anything wrong.

I WENT TO UH this week to take an unbiased look at the clothes.

The girls looked good. I must admit that they probably looked better than when you saw them last week. You probably didn't stop to think that no girl would wear her best bib and tucker to stand in last week's endless registration lines.

Esquire and Playboy fashion editors would have shuddered.

Blue jeans seemed to be a popular item in the UH male's wardrobe.

Now those are bad enough, but it's even worse when they're worn with cheap go-aheads and saggy T-shirts (back in Ohio we consider those shirts underwear).

ONE GUY EVEN had his jeans cut off above the knee. They weren't hemmed - they just sort of hung down his thighs in a stringy fringe.

Most of the fellows wore go-aheads with bermuda shorts. Some wore high-topped, bulky tennis shoes (or do they call them gym shoes?) and short socks.

Some guys solved the shoe problem by not wearing any. The solution wasn't entirely satisfactory. Have you any idea how dirty a fellow's feet can get from running around all day bare-foot?

I MUST ADMIT that I did see one white shirt. Unfortunately, a gym shoe - bermuda shorts type was wearing it, and he had the sleeves rolled up and the shirttail out. It didn't look so good.

George, in your letter to the UH president last week, you expressed the fear that the men from his campus would transfer to such schools as the Church College of Hawaii in their search for women who looked like women.

I don't think he need worry. I am sure the girls there wouldn't have them.

Your friend ( if I still am, after this),
