Uncle Sam's Hand in New Fashions
American Designers Tops
March, the month just before spring makes its bow, is highlighted by fashion showings throughout the country. All have a distinctive American aspect in their styles. The major motifs still are dictated by Paris, but the general result has been largely Uncle Samish.
Femininity is in the forefront and the American designs, which are uti shades. Gray is good, navy better, and white best when contrasted with opposite hues. Browns have staged a revival in both street suits and evening gowns.
Lots of White
Following the American Way in clothes will cause a boom season for laudresses because of the profusion of white touches everywhere. The recurrence of starch stiff and snow white collars, cuffs, and gilts in the daytime costumes match the popularity of white lace, white batiste, and white organdy for evening.
A fabric, as American as your grandmother's cheeked apron.
a versatility is an important factor in lizing pastel and off tones of primary which is enjoying a revival is bengaline. It is appearing in a number of street suits in coppery browns, in navy, and in both light and dark grays. A new material which has just been recently developed is a lightweight jersey called "young-skin".
Few French Models
Never since the World War have so few French models been displayed by large stores, while native designers have seized upon these opportunities to show what wearable and becoming clothes they can make without the aid of Paris.
Audist the diplomatic intrigue and political tension that grips a war-infested continent, a former KU. woman moves from capital to capital covering the history-making conferences of Summer Welles.
University Graduate Covers European Crises
From Rome to Berlin to Lausanne and Paris, Doris Fleeson, '23, follows the fact-finding emissary of the President of the United States and reports her observations for the New York Daily News which she represents on the tour. Getting a line on the civilian viewpoint of conditions throughout Europe and seeing her famous husband, John O'Donnell, foreign correspondent for the News in France, are two other "personal assignments" the former Sterling, Kansas, girl, will not neglect.
Covering political events, national or international, is an old but exciting story to Doris Fleeson. Since graduating as a journalism major from the University of Kansas in 1923, Miss Fleeson has distinguished herself in this field. Her coverage of the 1936 Republican National Convention won for her the annual prize awarded by the New York newspaper Women's Club. Together with her husband she writes the syndicated column originating in the nation's capital, "Capital Stuff," and counts among her acquaintances such political personages as the Farleva; and Roosevelt.
A KU. grad, left-wing New Dealer, president of the Women's National Press Club, columnist, foreign correspondent, wife of a famous journalist, and the mother of an 8-year-old daughter are the accomplishments of the woman to whom Marco Morrow of the Topeka Capital advised, "You'd better go on East young woman. You'll never be satisfied unless you do. You might hit the top."
Hay to Speak in K.C.
"Industrial Design" will be the lecture subject which Professor E.D. Hay, head of the advanced flight training program, will present at a meeting of the junior division of the Kansas City section of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers tonight. The meeting will be held in the Kansas City Power and Light building in Kansas City, Mo.
Doris Fleeson has done just that. Her career has no ceiling.
Any sedate spring suit will be brightened with a little position hat of shiny black straw. This one is trimmed with pale pink and yellow streamers which wind down from the crown around the throat.
The half-hour discussion will include as speakers Prof. W. E. Sandelius, acting chairman of the department of political science, Prof. John Ise, of the department of economics, Hugh Means, judge of the district court, and Joe Murray, city editor of the Lawrence JournalWorld.
Four to Discuss Finnish Question
The question, "Does Relief to Finland Endanger American Neutrality?" will be in some measure answered next Wednesday night at 9:30 o'clock when two professors, a judge, and an editor will engage in a roundtable discussion over KFKU.
Motion pictures of coal miners at work will be the feature entertainment of a meeting of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, in Haworth hall, at 7:30 p.m., tomorrow. George F. Klein, consulting engineer of the Mackie Clemens Fuel company, Kansas City, Mo., will lecture on "Coal Mining and Preparations." Stewart Bunn, e'41, vicechairman of the group, is in charge of the program.
This broadcast will be the second in a series which KFKU is sponsoring on Thursday nights throughout the month of March. All the discussions for the month will be on problems of the day.

Alpha Phi Drive Nets $254.28
A Boy Scout drive for funds, among University faculty members, conducted by Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, has netted a total of $254.28.
Physicists Use Alarming Things In Seminar
This sum is slight below the quota but additional contributions are expected as the campaign is still open.
At last a new idea in seminars has arrived: A seminar that is stopped by an alarm clock. The seminar was organized by Seville Chapman, instructor in the department of physics, for all persons interested in current topics in physics. It is held in room 203, Blake hall, from 4:30 to 5:30 each Friday.
