To a visiting alumnus, it seems the anti-establishment has come to the University of Kansas not only in politics but also in fashions.
KU coeds now wear bell-bottom jeans, tie-dyed skirts and fringe dresses to classes who only a few years ago never dreamed they would.
The general look today seems to follow the current hip trend. Hippe women stood out in the crowd years ago, but now girls who wear heels are also showing it.
KU women were not permitted to wear slacks to meals in some residence halls and sororities until recently. Most residence halls and sororities were required to wear slacks.
With the women's liberation movement and their attitude of freedom and independence, many coeds feel they are proving their ability to by the way they dress. They seem to enjoy the flexibility of being able to dress in a conventional, tailored fashion or one that is 'revolutionary'.
"It's fun to dress both ways, each way makes me feel different and here at KU I am accepted either way," said Mary Lynton Molytt, senior. "The hippe style gives me more freedom of movement and as an artist look. But I don't wear it all the time. It depends on my mood."
Some students prefer the hippie style of dress because it's practical comfortable for class work and stylism.
"I dress that way because its fashionable," said Katie Peters, Mattoon Ill., sophomore. "People are changing to comfortable attire because there's such controversy in personal attitude towards fashion," she said.
"Because of my art classes, there is no way to wear a dress and be a student. I am more focused on work, don't like the grumpy look but I just like the conventions."
Others disagreed.
"I don't like it one bit. I couldn't dress that way because I think it's too masculine and I just wouldn't feel like a girl. I don't see why girls like to wear jeans every day," said Sara Patterson, Kansas City, Jeans.
Others like the hippie look if it's handled with moderation and neatness.
"I like the hippie look it composed well, if you can dress it up, but the stuff that seems pulled out of a rag bag is not for me. You can overeit it with headbands and beads. It takes the right person to wear it." Kathy Hoyt, Bartleville, Okla., sophomore.
Popular fashion magazines are full of the hippie style of dresses. Many feature the representative suede fringe fringes, Indian print blouses and bell bottoms.
"I think its symbolic of the times," said Val Fladeland, Deerfield, Ill., senior.
While some like the look, they do not want identification with the hipple philosophy.
"I like it, but I just not comfortable in it," she said. "It was at one time associated solely with the hippie mood of thought but it's the

Carousing, Nagging Berliners Increase Own Divorce Rates
By JOSEPHLEMING
In fact, divorce statistics would indicate the beating, carousing, nagging and adultery are increasing.

Communist doctrine that it should not happen, some East German men still are beating their wives and drinking too much of wine; their wives still nag and are unfaithful.
At least the divorce rate is going up.
Since 1958 the East German divorce rate has increased from 1.3 per 1,000 persons to 1.7 per 1,000.
The increase confounds party neoconsists who say divorce and death are inevitable, a capitalist society that will vanish as a new "socialist personality"
Trade union officials, factory managers and political party leaders have been told to step in to defend workers in danger of breaking up.
As a result, the East German Supreme Court has ordered lower courts to try to persuade couples to marry before they give their marriage another try.
All societies are concerned with rising divorce rates. But the Council of the Democratic Republic is doubly concerned because it says it is not concerned with divorces.
The East German family law says "the family is the smallest cell of society. It is based on a marriage concluded for life. Socialist state protects and promotes marriage and the family."
The government has become so concerned that the supreme court recently held special session to discuss reducing the divorce rate.
Justice Werner Strasberg

But, he added, "The increase in membership has been going on for years," he said. "This general tendency to strengthen the relations of our socialist party is evident."
Consumer Caution Urged
He told lower courts to "exhaust all possibilities to preserve marriages and promote the enjoyment of harmonious family ties."

He said judges should not be involved in the attention of the offices as factories where divorce applicants work to exert pressure on employers.

Johnson said his views will not upset the world of fashion. Nevertheless, he advises to be mindful of health consequences of clothing.
"Since all art is based upon recognized limitations—and fashion designing is certainly an art—I wonder why designers are designing within the boundaries of clothing for health," he said.
