Navy Blue Takes Fashion Spotlight
If you like blue, red, white, green, yellow, aqua, beige, brown or black, you're set for spring. If not, how about a nudist colony?
At the Independent Student Association "Geographic Garb" show in the Union ballroom last night colors were light, bright and varied. A distinct favorite was navy blue, either freshened with lingerie frills or sailorly with red and white. Interesting.
Guided by narrator Fred Robertson, the audience took a fashion tour of Hollywood, Chicago. New York, Washington, D.C., Palm Springs, and Lawrence.
Background music was furnished by Clyde Byson's band. The theme, "You Walk By," opened the program, song by Rex Cowan and Virginia Gsell. Other vocals were done by Alice Hoad, Betty Ann Beal, and Claudine Scott.
Porter Steals Show
Models were Dorothy May, Alice Hoad, Patty Riggs, Florence Harris, Georgia Landrith, Barbara Smith, Genevieve Harman, Helen Rymph, Evelyn Kamprath, Dorothy Hendrickson, Mary Lou Lohman, Claudine Scott, Helen Meyer, and Mary Frances Fitzpatrick.
Show-stealer was Rexanne Kendall, the little girl who played "ported" by announcing each style destination with a placard.
Interesting Hollywood styles included a silk jersey of aqua, beige, and rust in hand-wide horizontal stripes; and a flashy red, black, and white number with black top, silk jersey skirt striped vertically in all three colors.
Chicago Shows Suits
Chicago featured businesslike clothes such as a light blue suit and an aqua suit with masculine lines. In New York sophistication was the keynote. Especially attractive was a dress with fitted torsolong navy top and pleated skirt in soft crepe of bright blue, red, and white print.
Fashions were patriotic in Washington, D.C. Palm Springs brought out two printed rayon shorts suits and a flowered formal fit for dancing under the best of stars.
Back in Lawrence a net formal in beige, rose, and aqua; a plaid dress with cinnamon jacket; a beige
It's just like we've been telling you, to get into the spring swing of things you need a navy blue dress heped up with white frills.
tea frock with brown and white dotted trim; and more of the inevitable navy, red, and white pulled the tour to a fashionable close.
Mary Gene Hull, I.S.A. chairman, was "chief engineer" in charge of the trip.

AKP Convention Will Open Here Tomorrow Noon
The Kansas chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi, professional business fraternity will be host to a district convention of the fraternity tomorrow and Sunday.
All chapters of the northern half of the south central district, including Kansas, Kansas State, Nebraska, and Missouri, will be represented by delegates and chapter officers.
The program for the convention includes group discussions of current problems on Saturday afternoon and Sunday. A buffet supper will be held at the chapter house, 1043 Indiana, Saturday night, and Alferd Seelye, economics instructor, will make known results of a recent survey of leading business concerns carried on by the School of Business. This survey covers the attitude of Lawrence business concerns regarding the hiring of men with low draft numbers.
A banquet will be held Sunday noon at the Blue Mill cafe. J. H. Taggart, professor of economics, will speak on "Economic Aspects of Inflation."
Grand President Clifford Spangler of Lincoln, Neb., Boone Macauley, Dallas, district counselor, and Fred Tidwell, Stillwater, Okla., southern division counselor, are expected to be present at the convention as well as about 25 delegates from the other chapters.
The following professors who are members of the fraternity will attend the convention: J. H. Taggart,
E. B. Dade, J. P. Jensen, and D. Gagliardo.
F. T. Stockton, dean of the School of Business has also been invited. Other faculty members attending will be Tom Hancock, Kenneth Middleton, and Alfred Seelye, all instructors of economics.
The identity of the queen, elected Thursday, will be announced at 10:15. Up to that time it will be as deep and dark a secret as Tom Arbuckle, president of the School of Engineering, can keep it.
The Femme Frolic of the Independent Student Association, will feature cutting-in by girls. It is a party to celebrate the fact that this is not Leap Year. Women asked men for the dates and will play men's roles tonight. Ping pong and card tables will be provided for those who do not choose to swing it.
Party number three on campus tonight will be open house at Ricker hall from 9 to 12. Dancing will be to recorded music.
Before the Hobnail Hop two honorary engineering fraternities, Tau Beta Pi and Sigma Tau, will hold a dinner at the Eldridge hotel. The K.U. Co-eds, recently organized girls' band led by Marjorie Henry, will play. Toastmaster will be Bob Brockett. Between courses Bob Ramsey will entertain with tricks of magic, and the K.U. Serenaders, a Negro quartet, will sing. This is the first time such a dinner has preceded the Hep.
As if three Friday night shindigs weren't enough to quell the social appetite, the Hill will have six parties tomorrow night. Hests will be Phi Delta Theta Alpha Chi Sigma, Battenfeld hall, Templin and Carruth halls, Corbin hall, and Phi Kappa Psi freshman.
