Wicker Jr., a Richmond lawyer and former member of the Virginia Senate from the 36th District, to the Editor in Chief of the Richmond-Times Dispatch on November 25, 1968. Wicker was concerned with the editor's recent article, "Dress on V.C.U." because he believed it was, "a generous and gracious apology for the revolting and disgraceful appearance of many V.C.U. students." Mr. Wicker went on to claim that he understands that since the Dispatch's Editor-In-Chief was at the highest level of administration at V.C.U, that he would be inclined to paint V.C.U. students in a flattering light. However, Wicker took offense to the Editor's claim that many other Virginia college students dressed similarly because, to him, one can easily distinguish between women and men by observing the dress of Richmond College and Westhampton College students.
