Trends Follow Raccoon Coat Women Just Follow College Men
Evanston, Ill., Dec. 12—(U.P.)The co-eds' three-dates-before-you-kiss rule is going the way of the raccoon coat on.college campuses, a Northwestern university student survey disclosed today.
More than half of the girls and three-fifths of the boys interviewed in the college magazine, the college magazine, said the rule was either "outdated" or "silly."
The best rule, said the college boys and girls, is good old good sense "and the size of the crowd on the dormitory porch."
Some observers found it easy to link the decline of the three-date rule with the survey finding that more than half of the women students interviewed said that they are "out to get a man."
"If I don't find a husband at Northwestern, I'll transfer to another school," said one determined co-ed.
The men interviewed, on the other hand, didn't seem to have matrimony so much on their minds. A majority of the men questioned do not plan to select wives from among their classmates. They "date for fun," most of them said.
"You can always pick up a wife,' said one young college boy.
Profile talked to about 200 undergraduate on their dating habits.

agreed that the action no longer indicates a binding engagement.
It's merely "social security" for the co-ed. The majority of the men agreed it makes social life less expensive "because a girl who's pinned doesn't expect you to take her out much."
There were, of course, some students who didn't see much sense to the questions anyway.

"The way we dress is purely an expression of the time." Miss Pennyner pointed out. "There is a definite relationship between the feelings of the people and the fashions of that particular era."
As an example, Miss Pennover remarked, take Mary Martin who by her appealing performance in South Pacific has gotten "under the skin of the people" so that she has molded current hair styles. This influence should last a year or two, according to Miss Pennover.
"Exciting presentation of goods set fashions in America," Miss Pennoyer said. "And through high quality manufactured goods at lower prices has made American women the best dressed in the world."
