"MR. FORMAL" CASHES IN
Loft: Bob Kenney, KU's "MR. FORMAL," is shown receiving his prizes from Al Hack at the University Shop, sponsor of the campus contest.
Right: "MR. FORMAL" receives his two passes, good at any Commonwealth theater for one month, from J. D. King, City Manager.
Bob looks mighty pleased receiving a $5 credit slip from Owen Edgar, at the Acme Bachelor Laundry and Dry Cleaners.
Bob seems to enjoy listening to a sales talk without worrying about paying for his shoes from the Royal College Shop.
The DAILY KANSAN takes this opportunity to pictorially congratulate Bob Kenney, Delta Upsilon, winner of K.U.'s second annual "MR. FORMAL" contest.
"MR. FORMAL" was selected from a field of 24 finalists who represented their organizations in the contest in which over 300 men took part.
Bob received a complete "After Six" summer formal outfit, a Ronson Adonis lighter, a Kaywoodie formal pipe, and a set of "Top Hat" toiletries, by Charbert, from the University Shop, in addition to the prizes he received from other local merchants.
The DAILY KANSAN was happy to have played such an important part in publicizing this campus contest for the second straight year.
Bob is now participating in the "Mr. FORMAL, USA" contest with winners from over 100 other colleges and universities throughout the country. The winner of this contest is entitled to a $500 government bond, a week expenses-paid trip to Hollywood, and a screen test with the Alex Gottlieb Productions.
Bob is probably thinking of some good uses for the dozen roses he is receiving at Owen's Flower Shop.
Left: How is the food at the Dine-A-Mite? Ask Bob shown here enjoying one of the two free meals he won there.
MR. ADVERTISER cashes in when he realizes that the quickest, surest way to reach the students is through the DAILY KANSAN.
