Students Have Neater Appearance This Fall Students in the fall of 1961 will record an all-time high in neat, well-dressed appearance. A nation-wide school survey points the way in revealing that upwards of 60 per cent of all high schools have student-led "dress right" programs, the American Institute of Men's and Boys' Wear reports. Teen-agers in particular are running counter to past '"'slop- py' form by imposing these codes of good grooming and proper dress on themselves and sticking to them throughout the school year. The dress-right movement, launched by high school students five years ago, has spread in various forms to secondary- school campuses in every prov- ince. It has also taken firm hold in private schools, universities and colleges. Its effect is even being felt among young fry in elementary schools. A magazine, sponsoring the first nationwide study of its kind, found that in the 600 high schools where students are sys- tematically involved in upgrad- ing their appearance, study habits are likewise on the up- Poor Sound Drawback In Teaching Teen-agers may be push- evers for "rock-and-roll" and other musical fads simply be- cause their schools do not pre- vide the facilities to teach mu- sic appreciation properly. Too many schools today, he said, are using the same old phonograph and wornout re- cords that they used 10 or even 15 years ago. ¥* "You can't teach good music with poor sound," Machin said. "A symphony played on bat- fered equipment runs a poor second to a "pop" tume played on a high-fidelity juke box." While teachers and parents do not expect all students fo learn to appreciate good music, they do want young people to have a basic familiarity with the great composers and their works, 'he said. On the basis of his firm's ex- perience in the sound reproduc- tion field, Machin recommends that schools take steps to im- prove their music apprecia- tion facilities: --Work with an experienced high - fidelity enthusiast who knows what's needed. He may be a student, a teacher, or a parent. ~The sound reproduction is ob- tained with high-quality compon- ents: an amplifier of at least 20 watts output (40, if it's a sterio amplifier), a good turn- table and tone arm, a magnetic cartridge with diamond needle, and wide-range loudspeakers (50 to 15,000 cycles) in the proper NEAT, NOT BEATNIK, is the trend for high school boys. reports the American Institute of Men's and Boys' Wear.

If the school budget does not per- mit this an association may donate all or part of the equip- ment.

The AIMBW offers free help to the student groups with how - to - dress - right film strips, fashion show scripts, hint-packed handbooks, charts and other aids. Underscoring what the feach- ers have to say, students at a typical high school reported in another poll they prefer to dress right and present a neat ap- pearance. The 311 boys and girls at Fort Hamilton High, Brook- lyn, N.Y., in this survey listed three big reasons why: --They get along betier with other people, including their dates: --Better dress tends to promote better study habits and higher grades; and, --Dressing right is a big help in getting part-time and summer- time jobs. By a score of 90 per cent, these high schoolers believed good grooming and "right" dress-- as a regular habit -- will prove to be an important assist to them when seeking good permanent jobs and rapid career advancement. Educators and parents have been joined by law enforcement officers and behavior experts in welcoming the new dress-right trend among the nation's young people.
