Down Town Show Window Goes Collegiate
Hill ambassadors of good will to the city of Lawrence is what you might call Messrs. Kandt, Koger, and Loewen.
On the other hand, you might not call them that. It's only out of good will that these three University men do the best they can to improve relations between the Hill and the business men down in Ober's clothing store.
They find that maintaining those good relations is a good way to put themselves through school.
Best maneuver in recent weeks to bring the students and the downtown closer together is a little show the trio is putting on in Ober's window.
Bill Kandt, 141, conceived the idea, or rather, the ideas, since Ober's store has eight windows and Kandt designed all of them. Kandt wanted to connect a display of brand new clothing with the University and thought he had a novel way of doing it.
So he took his idea to Roland Loewen, c'41, who depends on photography for his way through school. Loewen went to work and took eight
shots of Hill spots as his part of the barain.
Kandt sent the eight scenic shots off to a photographic concern and
had them all "blown up" to 60 incl by 36 inch dimensions. Then, arranging his display in the usual Kandt manner, he topped off the
whole thing by placing these photographic murals as background scenes for the college clothing.
The result was just what he desired, as can be seen from the picture just above. With the Hill scenes as backdrops, Kandt succeeded in putting the glad rags in their appropriate setting—right along with the University theme.
Kandt plans to have eight more such pictures made in the future. When he has finished with all of them they will be mounted on Ober walls to serve as interior decorations.
But the third man in the picture
But the third man in the picture —Ed Koger, fa'42. While he has no hand in the preparation of the displays, much of their success depends on him. It is his job to write ads for Ober's which will call attention to the novelties in the window.
There it is. If you happen by Ober's window and think the display one of the best you've seen, remember that University men did the whole thing.

Costumes Get New Gadgets
Nothing is so dear to the heart of the co-ed as the extra folderols that give her college costume just that necessary touch of individuality. Here are some gadgets that we think will do the job.
This will be a season for old fashioned frills and flowers. You'll be right in line with a whole garden of porcelena pansies in fragile colors. Clip one at your neck or wear them in clusters on a chain around your wrist.
In the eighteenth century an elegant snuff box marked a man as a dandy. They've turned the old snuff box into a compact and left the dandy air.
A bright handkerchief does wonders toward perking up a tired spirit and a dull costume, so treat yourself to a new kerchief the next time you're near a handkerchief counter. We suggest a pure linen, round one, with multi-colored edges.
You can carry almost a full pack of cigarettes in one of the new long cigarette cases with a compact to match. They are both finished in

New Disney Star A Laugh-Maker In 'Pinocchio'
The animation unit responsible for the anties of Jiminy Cricket in Walt Disney's "Pinocchio" probably managed to wedge in more laughs with its job than the other artists on the picture.
Whenever one of the artists was stuck on how to create some bit of action for Jiminy, one of his willing co-workers immediately dived into an impromptu cricket costume which was assembled for just such purposes. The costume consisted of a pair of old white oxfords, about size 12, a plaid skirt, and a battered old pearl grey fedora hat.
The "model" put the shoes on over his regular footgear, put on the shirt and made it into a tail coat by tucking in the front but not the back, and then donned the old "topper." His actions and costume generally straightened out his fellow artist's problem.
Jiminy Cricket, probably the tiniest actor ever seen on a screen, has one of the biggest roles in this second Disney full-length Technicolor production.
Corbin hall will hold open house tonight from 7 until 8 o'clock.
Wear an Original Spring Corsage But Keep the 'Stems Down'
This spring no wardrobe is going to be complete without that accent that can always aid and abet your good grooming—flowers! Never we seen so many possibilities for their use in perking up your clothes, your hairdo, or your accessories.
First of all, wear your flowers correctly. The corsage may be worn on either shoulder, but is usually worn on the left, except at a ball. Always wear stems and ribbons down. Don't feel that you have to have half a dozen gardenias. You want delicacy and distinction, not such a bunch that it will look pretentious and overpowering.
For evening, gardenias or orchids are in the best of taste. Why not try a novel effect with flowers in your hair? We suggest one huge gardenia in your tresses; or daisies, which are best worn with tailored dinner or afternoon dresses. If you would like to do something different with your coiffure, try dangling a single tiny violet from a forehead curl!
Our idea of a gay costume accent is the necklace and ring or bracelet set that a florist can fix with any kind of spring flowers you choose. He simply arranges the flowers on chains or ribbons to match or contrast with your ensemble.
Boutonnières are poular now for wear on spring suits and dress lapels. Carnations, violets, or dimesize marigolds make the best button hole boquets. American designer Elizabeth Day has created a clever and inexpensive clip that holds flowers securely on the lapel, in the hair, or on the evening bag.
The trend is away from conservatism. If you would be an individual, you can get away from mass conformity by wearing one of those vegetable corsages—onions, carrots, and radishes in crisp lettuce leaves.
Be correct, but use your imagination and originality!
