Seventy models will walk the runways at 4 and 8 p.m. today when the Signature sponsored Intercollegiate Fashion Show goes before Cambridge audiences at Rindge Tech Auditorium.

Staged by Mademoiselle Magazine, the show will feature girls from 10 nearby colleges in a showing of Bonwit Teller fashions. One half of the show's proceeds will go to NST's "Free University of Berlin" relief drive.

Highlights of the hour-and-a-half performance will be singing by the Harvard Krokodiloes and a post-show judging of "the costume I'd most like to have my date wear" by an all-male fashion board.

As announced by Bonnie Saunders '49, Publicity Chairman, the stage will be keyed to the theme, "Mademoiselle's Course in Social Psychology," complete with a mid-stage school house and three notebooks on each side. "We're also having a between-acts 'professor,' a baby sitter, two Radcliffe dunces, and five male stooges as escorts," Miss Saunders added.

Fashions will illustrate six "social psychology" texts: "Social Attitudes and Incentives," football clothes; "Schizophhenia or Dual Personality," separates; "Field Studies," campus clothes; "Gregarious Interests," dorm get-ups and pajamas; 'Social Forces," cocktal dresses; and "Dynamic Theorly of Personality," formal and evening wear.

Over 200 girls competed for model positions in the show with Wellesley winning 23 finalists. Simmons, B. U., Emmanuel, Tufts, Sargent, Leslie, and Regis also came through with final positions, and nine girls will hold out for Annex pulchritude. They are: Helen Clark '51, Anne Drachman '52, Jonne Irving '52, Carol Jones '49, Mary Norris '49, Joan Smith '52, Irene Tinker '49, Cannie Weil '50, and Anne Worthington '52.

Dress rehearsal for the show was held yesterday from 2:15 to 6:00 p.m. with Boston newspapers supplying photographers and flashbulbs. "Life" even turned up a photographer to help the local cameramen.

Signature's all-male fashion board demonstrate their recently acquired "fashion outlook." Joanne Irving '52 serves as model for the group, which is getting in practice for today's fashion show at Rindge Tech Auditorium.

Judges for the affair, not as pictured, include William D. Weeks '49, Jack Delaney 2GB, Richard A. Holman 3L, Earl Eames, M.I.T., Charles Mahoney B. U., Robert Duke B. U., Robert Murphy, B. C., Bill Grimes B. C., and John Doble, Tufts.

The show is staged by Mademoiselle Magazine and features models from 10 women's colleges around Boston.
