KU Coeds Borrow Plaid Kilts from Scotchmen
The Scottish kilt, a short plaited garment with a fringed edge running along the side, came down from the highlands and across the sea to become fashion again on this hill.
Today the kilt, often ornamental with an oversize safety pin, is KU's latest fashion bad, but it can trace its history to one of the most ancient of all costumes.

Speakers Bureau Formed by Statewide
Statewide Speakers Bureau, an arm of Statewide Activities, has been formed to promote the University of Kansas throughout the state.
Steve Stazel, Denver, Colo., senior and Statewide Activities president, said the Speakers Bureau will send representatives to civic clubs, high schools and other interested groups.

clan wears a pink, yellow, and white plaid. The Eliot clan wears the bluest tartan and the MacArthur clan wears the greenest of all the tartans.
The Black Watch plaid that Francis L. Fredrichs, Mission freshman, models in the picture at the left, is a dark blue, green and black pattern. This plaid has no clan significance. It is entirely military. The Black Watch plaid dates to 1725 when an English general was sent to Scotland to pacify the highlanders and ordered that all of his companies should adopt a uniform tartan.
The forerunner of the kilt was the middle ages Celtic skirt called a lenn. It reached a little below the knees. Slaves and kings distinguished among themselves by the number of colors in their lennes. The slave had clothes of one color while the king had clothes combining six different colors.
