Travel Bureau Opens At Union
If you want a ride to Nome, Alaska, or Capetown, South Africa, for the Easter holidays, apply at the Student Travel bureau and you can probably get a ride.
The travel bureau, which opened Monday in the Union activities office in the Union, will try to meet the transportation needs of each student, Donald Reeves, College sophomore and chairman, said. "Whether its a trip to Ottawa, Kan., or Ottawa, Canada it is likely that each student can find a ride," he said.
All students who have extra space in their cars, should contact the street. The rides are usually arranged on a "share the expenses" basis.
The travel bureau will be open each day. Information regarding summer tours will also be available.

Professors Depict Styles Of 1910 At KU As The Age Of Buttons And Bows
The colorful wardrobe of a 1949 college student is less extravagant than the more formal dress of the preceding generation. Four faculty members who attended the University several decades ago have depicted styles, fads, and fashions in 1910 as strikingly different from those of today.

"The students at that time would have thought a 1949 co-ed was from a show or carnival," Dr. Beamer remarked concerning present day use of cosmetics.
A. Grant, associate professor of Latin and Greek; John Ise, professor of economics; and Raymond Hill Beamer, professor of entomology, give the following portrayal of typical college students in 1910:
Men wore caps or derby hats, white shirts with detachable collars and cuffs, suits, and high topped shoes. Women wore large hats, white waists or middies, full length dark skirts over several petticoats, heavy stockings, and high topped button shoes.
Women had no conception of "new look" hair cuts, but wore long locks wound around their heads in various styles. They used no make-up except powder. Occasionally they blackened their eyebrows with burnt matches.
Students then as now were "fad followers." Among the temporary innovations in men's costumes were white vests, bright colored ribbons around hats, and peculiar methods of lacing shoesstrings.
"We were more covered," said Miss Black, when she explained the sportwear of a 1910 co-ed. A middy blouse, white skirt, long white stockings, and tennis shoes were the clothes in which Miss Black played tennis during her schooldays.
"We'd have taken up a collection to buy her some clothes," said Dr. Lee, referring to the exposure of limbs common to the woman of today.
- The general opinion of the four faculty members was that people today dress more sensibly, less warmly, and less extravagantly. More variety in colors is apparent in today's wardrobe.
Dr. Beamer estimated the cost of clothes at three or four times the prices in 1910. Dr. Ise explained, however, that clothes in the earlier period were actually more expensive in terms of human labor or relation to incomes.
"Who wants a skirt that mops the floor?" was Dr. Beamer's reply when asked which mode of dress he preferred.
