British Boast Better Boots
KU British students say they get more shoe leather to the mile than their American friends.
The discussion of English soles and heels was prompted by a December displav of British goods by a Kansas City department store.
"BE IT SHOES OR safety pins we don't replace any article as often as you (Americans) do." Michael Coulson. Gloucester graduate student said.
He emphasized the superior quality of leather used in England to make a shoe.
"British girls wouldn't be seen dead in short socks and tennis shoes," Raymond Denton, Oxford grad student said. He indicated that according to English etiquette what the best-dressed British woman was wearing for tea breaks was not a pair of dingy "tennies."
"They usually wear hose and flats or low heels. Americans dress for the weather."
He poked fun at a similar contrast between American casualness and American conservativeness in the rash of bermuda shorts on campus.
"When an English girl wears shorts, she wears them for a special purpose and she wears them short."
"In England what you wear depends on who you are. There isn't the same degree of variety here. You could line up a 100 KU students and they are dressed about the same," Malec Graham, London graduate student said.
Coulson noted that the necktie was something of a status symbol in England with ties being the rule rather than the exception on a college campus.
HE SAID THAT ties are wider when they serve as a kind of badge indicating affiliation with a club or professional organization.
"The English place more emphasis on tailoring and on the double-breasted suit. I had never bought a shirt by sleeve length until I came to America. Shirts are sold by collar size in England."
"It seems that British clothes appeal to the upper class in America and they go out and buy good British goods. Mediocre British clothes never get into America except on an Englishman," Graham said.
