The students may wear slacks, shorts or any other forms of clothing acceptable within guidelines termed "nebulous" by Supt. Robert E. Biedler.

The experimental period began yesterday and will last through April 3. Students are on vacation Thursday and Friday. "Clothing must be neat, clean, within health and safety limits, and appropriate," Biedler said. "We are giving the students the right to police themselves." At both Tippecanoe Senior High and Tipp City Junior High, student governments held assemblies last week to present skits outlining appropriate and inappropriate dress modes. Paul Struewing, senior high principal, and junior high principal John Berk yesterday reported many girls appeared wearing slacks and a few wore Bermuda shorts despite the brisk weather.

Neither principal reported seeing or hearing of any clothing outside the unwritten limitations. One of the suggested regulations for shorts and skirts was that they come no farther than half way up the person's thigh, but no measurements were being taken to make sure the girls' shorts were long enough. Students, faculty and administrators will evaluate the experimental period to determine possible revisions of the regular dress code, under which slacks and shorts have been prohibited. sought an injunction in December after ABC announced it would, as of Jan. affiliate exclusively in this area with Kittyhawk's WKTR-TV.

WKEF had been carrying mostly ABC programming. THE INJUNCTION was denied on the grounds there was not sufficient evidence of a serious question of any antitrust violation to warrant granting it, and that WKEF-TV would not be seriously damaged by losing ABC programming if a later court decision did uphold trie antitrust charge. In ye terday's motion, WKEF-TV argued that, since ABC has announced the affiliation will be renegotiated and has invited WKEF.

Kemper resigned his position with Kittyhawk several weeks ago.

He has issued a statement saying that, at the time the payments were made, Kitty-hawk officials believed Daley existed.

What in the wide world of sewing has happened to the thread? After a month's wear. I have garments literally falling apart at the seams. V.M., Bradford.

Women's clothing is traditionally of an inferior quality to similarly-priced men's clothing. This is because women buy for fashion; men buy for practicality. The thread problem has become more apparent, however, since 19l5 when permanent-press fabrics hit the market. Seems some manufacturers continued to use cotton threads with permanent-press clothing a mistake since heat or high humidity can turn the catalyst employed in preparation of the fabrics into a dilute acid which attacks cotton sewing thread. What the manufacturers should have done was switch to polyester thread.

Challenges of the Model Cities Planning Council election were filed by eight losing candidates, including council chairman Roger P. Prear, by yesterday's 5 p.m. deadline. A committee of the city's Model Cities section, the City Demonstration Agency (CDA), will deal with the challenge cases. SIX WERE filed by anti-Prear candidates on a form which requests a recount, verification of residence of each voter in the district, investigation for possible "election fraud" and new elections in districts where alleged irregularities can't be resolved by "minor corrections."

"I really don't know if we can do it," said Stephen C. Nelson, assistant director. "It hit us cold today.

We usually have at least two weeks notice." The commission is charged by federal law and administrative order to review almost all local projects using federal funds. Nelson said he will personally oversee the start of the review procedure today. His superior, director Dale F. Bertsch, learned of the need for review as he was leaving for Washington yesterday. ASKED IF his staff could review the project by Wednesday night, Bertsch said he could not comment.

Lucius Hall, a state highway official for Division 8 in Lebanon handling Dayton projects, said he had thought interstate projects were exempt from need for commission review.

Advertising for bids is expected to begin tomorrow. Without MVRPC approval, the Bureau of Public Roads would not permit the advertising, state highway officials say.

THE RID OPENING originally had beenscheduted for March 10, but was pushed back to June 16. Then two Montgomery County legislators state Sen. Clara M. Weisenborn and State Rep. James Pippenger talked to highway officials and the date was moved to April 21.

"Many theories of the complaint overlap and in some instances the complaint does not disclose the name of plaintiffs seeking relief," Weinman said.

By John Sweeny Journal Herald Stall Writer Federal Judge Carl A. Weinman dismissed yesterday a $1 .5 million civil rights complaint thnt sought to enjoin an alleged take over of the Model Cities education component zy Dayton School Board. The judge suid the complaint violated federal court rules because it was too wordy, but invited the Washington, D.C., attorneys who filed It to try again. Weinman, in separate action, dismissed a suit brought by THROB (To Help Races Overcome Barriers), a local civil rights group, to halt the dismissal of Arthur Thomas, Model Cities education director, who has been dismissed since that suit was filed. THE $1.3 MILLION suit was filed in behalf of Thomas and members of the black school community last month by civil rights attorneys Jean Camper Cahn and Edgar Cahn, who defended Thomas at his dismissal hearing before the school hoard.

That suit alleged the Dayton school administration is blocking school desegregation and tion may be appropriate for pretrial briefs it is certainly inappropriate for a complaint." THE JUDGE ordered the court clerk to mail a copy of federal court rules to the Washington attorneys. "Failure of the plaintiffs to file an amended complaint which conforms to rules shall constitute cause to dismiss this action," the judge ruled. Plaintiffs in the suit were the Model Cities Planning Council, the Community School Council, as well as Thomas and black students, parents and teachers. Defendants were the school board and superintendent, Police Chief Robert M. igleburger, Gov.
