Some Like 'Em -- Some Don't But Co-eds Say They're Warm
It appears that knee sox, like long skirts, are here to stay. A University Daily Kansan poll shows that women are whole-heartedly for the overgrown anklets and that men are reluctant to come out against them.
The poll—incomplete and hap-
hazard—showed that all five of the
women interviewed favored the sex
and that only two of the five colle-
gee men opposed them, while one
other was neutral.
For the uninitiated, the knee sox are worn to keep warm. The women's ensembles to trousers come in colors yellow, white, tan, red, and green.
Darrell Norris, journalism senior,
was one of those for the stockings.
"I think they're fine. I wear 'em myself."
Norris said.
Ann Cowger, education junior,
was particularly sold on the white
sox, speaking of sox and not the
baseball team. However, she
believed that all the knee sox in what-
ever color, have one little drawback.
"They don't stay up. Something anchored from the top would be better." she said.
Another male who believed in them was Fred Brooks, journalism senior and they're-year-old years and they're-long enough for her," he emphasized.
In general, however, the women found little wrong with the sox. The men were split in opinions.
Evans Francis, business senior,
was the third observer who favored
the "new look." "I like them. I think
they are both nice and practical."
Laurence Helmstetter, College freshman, came out bitterly opposed to the knee sox. "It's hard telling what women are up to now. Somebody will be manufacturing false calves for skinny women next."
Roland Smith, aeronautical engineer senior, was more philosophical in his comment, but he still rendered disapproval. "They're all right if a long skirt is used anaway."
Miss Jennings said, "I think they look sort of old-fashioned but I want some."
Two women who did not own a pair of the knee sock but were nonetheless in favor of them were Helen Johnson, College junior, and Beverly Jennings, College sophomore. Both wanted some.
Walter Moden, engineering freshman, said simply, "Some of them should. Some of them shouldn't."
Dorothy Jones, business junior,
said, "I like them. They're warm.
But they make you feel self-conscious."
Sammy Johnson, College sophomore, believed "in comfort before beauty in such matters." (This Sammy is a woman.)
Pi Beta Phi Announces Pinning, Engagement
Miss Johnson explained that she didn't wear them, "It's just because I can't find any."

'1950 Face'-Bow Mouth, Scraggly Haircut; May Set Makeup Back 50 Years Experts Say
Hollywood, Calif.—(U.P.)—New York fashion experts have just released their "1950 face"—painted eyes, two-tone cupid's bow mouth, and scraggly haircut—and it has Hollywood holding its sides.
“It’s so awful it’s funny,” said makeup expert Perc Westmore. “They didn’t release that mannequin face. It escaped
"Look at that hair. Why, it's the same monstrous concoction I put on Frankenstein over 20 years ago."
And any dame who falls for this mid-century mug, he warns, better be ready with a fast explanation
The "1950 face," he said, "is definitely not the kind you take home to mother."
This might be all right for the Park avenue cuties to play with, he said, but he advised the average housewife not to try it.
But the New York boys who dreamed it up are going all out for their "frankly make-believe make-up."
"It could become," a high-style magazine blurbs, "as excitingly new as flinstick was in the twenties."
Westmore thinks it'll set makeup back 50 years.
"It it looks like some amateur got in the paint and started playing around," he growled. "Hollywood spends years perfecting the natural look of a clown, so you smear on the goo like a clown. They want to sell more cosmetics, I guess."
Westmore screamed at that.
The fashionable master-minds are even out with a full-set of instructions on how to draw yourself a "1950 face." You take a black pencil and draw heavy lines around your eyes, extending the line up almost to the tip of the eyebrow. For the cupid's brow you paint the outline with a dark lipstick and fill it in with a lighter shade.
"Those rich dames can afford to make a mistake. Ordinary women can't. Their husbands would divorce 'em for this."
"Looks like a gal just finished a healthy lunch and forgot to repair her makeup," he said.
Alpha Delta Pi sorority announces the pinning, Dec. 19, of Miss Arlene Hill, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Hill of Lawrence, to Mr. Kenneth Dieker, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. T. Dieker of Tampa, Kan.

Mr. and Mrs. Glen L. Blauvelt, Beloit, announce the engagement of their daughter, Virginia, to Mr. and Mrs. Nickel, of Beloit and Mrs. Floyd Nickell, alge of Beloit.
Blauvelt Announces
Just for a gag, Westmore tried it out on movie queen Patricia Neal. She looked beautiful in "the hasty heart," he said, "that was her "1949 face." The new model had her looking for all the world like "Frankenstein's bride."
