Balderdash, UK Says

Abolish Sex Appeal, Says Wisconsin Student
By PAUL SCOTT
"Sex appeal is downright lustful
and it's got to stop or else," says
University of Wisconsin student
Foster Voight. He did not mention
whatr the "or else" might lead to.

Recently, Wisconsin's Daily
Cardinal printed a letter from
Voight on its editorial page slamming girls' sexy clothing in general and their tight skirts and
sweaters in particular.
At UK, however, a random survey indicated that the type of
clothing which aroused Voight's ire
U overwhelmingly favored by both

I I ft

men and women students.
A male student said, "The tighter the clothes the better I like it.
There is no sense in hiding the
obvious. If you have the merchandise, display it."
Hal Leichhardt, an arts and sciences senior, said, "UK girls can't
wear sweaters and skirts too tight
to suit me. And their short shorts
can never be short enough."
Another male student agreed, to
a certain extent, with Voight. He
said, "Spring brings with It the
mixture of beautiful coeds and
tight feminine attire. It adds some

thing to the campus and frustration to yours truly."
On the other side, a coed said,
"I dress to keep up with the style
of the time. If it calls for sweaters and tight skirts, that's what I
wear."
Another girl said she dresses to
please her boy friend. "If he likes
tight sweaters and skirts, that is
what I wear, regardless of style
changes," she said.
"What's with this Voight guy?"
another UK man asked. "If he
doesn't like tight clothes on gals,
he can look the other way. Speak

ing for myself, I like m."
A sophomore coed said, "He
(Voight) sounds like a frustrated
man who apparently likes to exaggerate what he sees. I don't
know how the girls dress at Wisconsin," she added, "but I don't
think girls dress quite as vulgarly
here as Voight indicates they do

at Wisconsin."

"I'm in favor of letting girls
be as sexy as they are winning to
be," said a male student, "but
when men are brought to trial on

a criminal assault charge, the
amount of provocation should be

considered."
"This f uy (Voight) must have
some mighty queer Ideas," Warren
Wheat said. "Gals around here
certainly leave little to the imagination. But I like it that way,"
another student said.
An unidentified Kernel staffer
said, "UK girls do not wear
their clothes too tight, because
girls around here haven't got
enough to fill them out."
"Girls around the campus look
pretty sharp," Gordon Baer said,
"as for their skirts and
