BERMUDA IN KANSAS—Carol Stutz, education senior, and Jeanne Johnson, fine arts senior, stroll in front of the library in their Bermuda shorts. Carol's are cotton khaki and Jeanne's are gray flannel.
Shorts Are Getting Longer As Bermuda Comes to Kansas
Although the atmosphere of KU may not resemble Bermuda island, some of the outfits do, for knee-length Bermuda shorts are out in full force this fall. This new version of summer comfort for fall comes in both plaid and plain colors and in cotton and wool material. Not only girls are wearing them, but boys as well are showing their knees in the new style.
The fad started at the colleges in the East where coeds seem to wear them for both formal and informal occasions. And now it has come west to KU, adding variety to the sweater, skirt, and jeans style.
KU was first introduced to Berrada shorts last spring when an anonymous student appeared at a spring formal in the tuxedo version. Word has it that his ensemble consisted of a white dinner jacket, knee-length socks, and black Bermuda shorts with satin stripes
down the sides.
The shorts are cut straight, oftenuffed at the bottom, and usually

worn with a leather belt. Next to wool plaid the popular styles seem to be gray flannel or khaki cotton. The owners of Bermuda shorts agree that the only way to really wear them fashionably is with knee-length socks in colors to match the shorts, of course. But for a more casual look and for comfort, they can be worn without the socks. White is a popular color for them.
Both the men and women can wear Bermuda shorts just about anywhere, according to the fashion experts-for sports, formal wear, or on the campus.
Alpha Phi sorority announces the pinning of Judy Jaeschke, college sophomore, to Donald Tice, a graduate from the School of Journalism last spring. Miss Jaeschke is from Wichita, and Tice, a member of Aeacia fraternity, is from Summerfield. He is now stationed at Lackland Air Force base, San Antonio.
For Appointment
It's been said that in Bermuda anyone who wears the common type of shorts is simply frowned upon. So far it's been just the opposite here. In New York City they are banned for office wear. But perhaps not for long. Only time will tell whether the new shorts will be worn at KU for class, dating, or solely for sports wear.

No Telephone Calls for Awhile If You Live at Douthart Hall
"Did anyone call me today?" The 52 girls of Douthart hall are asking themselves this question and the worst part of all is that there is no way of finding out if anyone really did call them.
The new women's scholarship dormitory, which was completed this fall, is new in every respect except one—no telephone. Only the housemother, Mrs. W. S. Shaw, has a phone and it has been kept mighty busy keeping the girls up on their social and collegiate life. Because of the many new buildings and homes in Lawrence and on the campus, the telephone company has been rushed on orders for the instruments. The Douthart
Plans Being Made For New AOPi Home
Plans for the new Alpha Omicron Pi sorority house were made during rush week activities in conferences with Mrs. Robert F. Lindrooth, Chicago, national Panhellenic representative, w h o was a guest of the chapter. The site of the house, to be erected at the north end of West Campus drive, was purchased last spring from Dr. M. T. Sudler.
Preliminary rock borings have been made from the plans of I. L. Roark of Kansas City, Mo., architect. Mrs. C. E. Cayot, also of Kansas City, Mo., has been named chairman of the planning committee.
Mr. and Mrs. E. V. Skinner of Wichita, announce the engagement of their daughter, Jo Anne, to Myron Kelso, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Kelso of Havana. Miss Skinner, education senior, is a member of Alpha Omicron Pi sorority, and Kelso, a graduate of the University last spring, is a member of Kappa Psi fraternity.
hall residents are waiting patiently and "expecting their phone any day," they say. They have been promised one line soon, to hold them until the regular system is installed.
But, as yet, the waiting line still forms in front of Mrs. Shaw's apartment in the hall to make a phone call. All the girls' dates and activities must be handled by her or else by means of the doorbell.
The big question right now is what the phone number will be for Douthart hall. Although situated on 14th street, usually the center of much college activity, residents of the scholarship dorm could begin to get an isolationist feeling.
Before long, however, the newly installed phones will begin ringing on the walls. Perhaps the girls will wish for the peaceful and quiet days when Alexander Graham Bell's instrument was not with them.
