Fashion Bows to Comfort
Practicality Reigns
By NANCY JONES

In recent years, students have been concentrating less on matching skirts and sweaters and coordinating pinstripe shirts and suits. The focus is on clothes that are comfortable.
Gone are the days when students confined themselves solely to the whims of the fashion world.
Practicality has become the prime consideration in choosing campus apparel.
"I'm an art student and I always wipe my brush on my jeans. I also like to sit on the floor, so it would be ridiculous for me to wear something fancy," he told Robert, St. Louis, Mo., sophomore.
Jeans and faded workshirts seem to fit into a student's activities.
Kathy Henry, Kansas City, Kan, junior, said, "Most of the time it's jeans that are required for the occasion. Usually jeans to top can be worn anywhere because jeans can be dressed up or down.
ALTHOUGH THE jeans-workshirt combination has become a uniform for many students, there are times when the occasion calls for more formal attire.
"I like to get dressed up once in a while because I still have hang-ups about looking too casual on certain occasions; on a day-to-day basis jeans are comfortable," said Susan McCarthy, Cobham, Surrey, England, sophomore.
Today's campus wear is designed for students who are mobile and for outdoor activities bicycle riding and motorcycle riding.
jackets, parkas, and backpacks are big sale items at local surplus stores. Worn buy as many jackets as needed, according to local more tips.
Several students interviewed on the subject felt that the craze for Army apparel did not reflect their attitudes on the war.
Army apparel such as field
"An Army jacket is a nice warm jacket for the winter. It could be a satire on the military, but I don't think most people look at it like that way. It's a practical jacket because it's warm," Miss Henry said.
IT IS IRONIC that Army apparel would be such a big sale item, when the majority of students violently oppose the Vietnam War or anything that carries militaristic implications.
"Army apparel has nothing to do with my viewpoints on the war. It's good warm clothing at a camp," Johnson said to John Thompson, Salma junior.
"Army boots are made to wristband the elements and you can trump around camps in bad weather and still stay warm," he added.
Bib overalls are another popular item with students. Children wear size 20-30 overalls not would sell two years ago. Now because so many girls wear overalls, size 30-40 is the most popular size.
Cynthia. Rawson, Concordia junior, said, "Most people dress casually partly because it's their own life style, and partly because places today require casual cloakti."
How long this fad for casualness and comfort will last is debatable, but it's a fact that at a low cost KU students can be in fashion in army boots, jeans and a field jacket.
