Jeans, Saddle Shoes - Now The Fashion Worn By KU Students Of 1920's As Revolt
Bv LOUIS SCIORTINO
Jeans, corduroys, G.I. jackets, and dirty saddle shoes have become commonplace apparel on the campus and the guy or girl so dressed goes along his way unnoticed.
There was a time, however, when the wearing of such clothing signified a revolt—a revolt against the skyrocketing cost of clothing. Back in 1920, the big student problem was keeping finances abreast of soaring clothing prices. Drastic moves were needed and drastic moves were in the offing.
In April of that year, a petition was circulated among men students to wear corduroys, overalls, or patched clothing. Seven hundred signed the petition in protest of the high cost of clothing. No sooner had this move started than wild rumors spread over the campus: "Overalls have zoomed to $6. Jeans are selling for $10 a pair. The merchants are going to raise the price of jeans as high as the price of a good pair of slacks." Most of these rumors were quelled, however, when at least two merchants advertised overalls at $3 and $3.50 for their best makes.
Dr. James Naismith, men's physical education director, said he feared that a uniform might destroy individual personality. Also, he didn't believe that the uniform could be worn triumphantly by all types of girls. Miss Martha Bacon, women's physical education director, insisted that women could maintain their personality. "Girls do not realize," said Miss Bacon, "that they are handsome enough to wear simple clothes."
Along with the overall movement came the proposal for uniformity in women's wear. Men students, especially the lawyers, were not too warmed up to the idea of a uniform; women were so accustomed to women even threatened to forsake the alma mater. A few favored uniformity of lowered wardrobe cost.
Many instructors and townspeople felt the same as students about high cost of clothing. Said Chancellor Frank Strong, "I would be wearing overalls now if I could find a pair long enough."
What happened? A few of the men wore the jeans and the corduroys and the matched clothing. Most of the guys backed down. As to the uniform movement—it flopped completely. And as April waned into
May, the clothing revolt was forgoited—forgotten by all but the law students. The future barristers pledged themselves to relentless attention to the enjoyment of that pleasure which was almost taken away from them.
10 this day, law students have kept alive the pledge of their predecessors of the 20's. For on any warm day, but especially in May, they sit on the steps of Green hall and voicerously acclaim their appreciation of the dress of the fairer sex who pass that way.
