The 'New Look' Appears 'Dated'
Paris — (U.P.) — Christian Dior;
who invented the "New Look," came out with a compromise skirt that's up to the knee—here and there.
Most of his skirts, like those of other Paris dressmakers this season, are about $14\frac{1}{2}$ inches off the floor. The teasers are actually two skirts.
The under one, of solid material and running all the way around is as short as a wartime model. The top one is either transparent—as in an evening gown whose black tulle shows shapely calf through its veiling from the knee down—or a series of longer panels which swing free to show a glimpse of leg between the conventional length and the knee.
Straight daytime skirts were shown with full, free-swinging over panels even when the underskirt was of ordinary length. One had 20 individual box pleats slung around its waistline.
Dior's showing yesterday was the most spectacular of the seasons' openings. Hundreds of persons were turned away from the doors of his swank gray and gold showroom. Four hundred were admitted. Dior "bounced" one of them personally. The other 399 sat elbow to elbow for three hours and 170 models.
Dior pushed into the showroom from backstage once. He pounced on a woman reporter who-was sketching the models (sketching is expressly prohibited at all Paris openings.) Dior tore her note book in half, pushed her out of the room and disappeared again behind the curtains.

A 'Back East' Student Remembers The Days When Things Were 'Cozy'
When the Registrar's office recently announced the drop in enrollment for the spring semester, at least one student was happy. That student is Robert Morev. Journalism senior from Perth Amboy, N.J.
Morey originally came to K.U. in the fall of 1945 because he wanted "to attend a school where the students are friendlier than they are at eastern colleges."
When he entered the University there were slightly more than 3800 students here. He fondly recollects when: "everyone knew and spoke to everyone else, the professors weren't hopelessly confused by trying to remember the students in their own classes. Classes began at 8:30 each morning instead of 8:00, and one could recognize every name in the Daily Kansan's Rock Chalk gossip column.
"He remembers when one could park a car all morning in any of the parking zones except Jayhawk drive. One always could get a booth in the Union fountain even though there was even less space then; and a man could get a cute date for a dance only three days in advance."
When the veterans began returning to school, Morey found the atmosphere of the University changed to something like that which exists at Columbia university which is 14 miles from his home.
He says, "Although I am still convinced that the students here are much friendlier than are those in the East, now I feel lucky to know the members of the clubs to which I belong."
Morey, a member of Sigma Nu fraternity, is an active member of the Ku Ku club and has served on the Javahawk staff.
Stone mountain is a massive dome of muscovite granite in Georgia, and is said to be the largest in the world.
When he noticed the report about the enrollment, he smiled and said, "Well, maybe the old place will get down to my size again."
