Men's Clothes For Spring Harmonize
College men as well as college women are planning their spring wardrobes and a check-up on 1940's spring and summer market reveals that ensemble buying will play a more important part than ever in the clothes life of the well-dressed man.
Colors Harmonize
Men at the retail counters will ask for "shirts and ties that harmonize," "things that go together," and "grouped sets." Colors: Harmonize.
Ties, handkerchiefs, and socks are no longer matched identically in design. Instead the colors harmonize so that the effect of the ensemble is pleasant. It means that a man considers his whole wardrobe when he buys individual items, and instead of having six separate outfits, all of which wear with one another, he has one collection of clothes which are interchangeable, are in good taste, and will serve him well over a period of time.
Spring and summer of 1940 will be the biggest sportswear season to date. By careful buying, the college man will leave the University in June with a goodly selection of shirts, slacks, and jackets for summer wear.
Sport Shirts Simble
Cut and sewn sports shorts should be selected for their inherent comfort and simplicity of design. Steer away from gadgets, strings, and other thingamabobs. For active sports choose an absorbent knit pull-over in plain colors, or horizontal stripes.
Plaid sports jackets had their day and now stripes are the big news. They appeared last fall made up in Sheltlands and tweeds and have made fast headway early this spring. Gray and brown are the favorite background colors, and the vertical stripes run in a variety of colors, ranging from shades of blue and red through green, yellow, gray, and white. The jackets are all single-breasted, some with three and others with four buttons.

Quill Club Jubilee Set For Tonight at 7:30
The University Quill club will hold its first jubilee open-house in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building at 7:30 p.m. today in order to introduce the organization to K.U. students and to open the program for the new year. This meeting is open to the public. Allen Crafton, professor of speech and dramatic art, will be the guest speaker of the evening.
The University of Kansas is the birthplace of the national Quill club, since it had a local organization 14 years before formation of the national group. The first national club was established here by Ethelyn Mills, Edmund Bechtold, and Helen Rhoda Hoopes. Today there are 14 chapters in U.S. colleges.
Quill is an American college organization whose purpose is to encourage literary effort and criticism Admission to the organization of the applicant as to responsibility and creative effort.
Two new exhibitions have been received and put on display in the department of design during the past few days.
Art on Display In Frank Strong
Quill club is non-secret and nonfraternal, its nomenclature and ritual emphasizing the Anglo-Saxon culture rather than the Greek period. For this reason the Egyptian word "rune" is used to designate the chapters, giving this chapter the name of Feoh rune.
The first exhibition consists of work done by pupils of the department graduates who are now instructors of art. Material has been sent from Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois, and one group comes from the students of Helen Huffman,'37, who is now teaching at the Polytechnic Institute in San Germain, Puerto Rico.
Second of the exhibits is from the Pratt Institute of Industrial Design
Feehr run has taken an active part in the national organization publishing for the past three years the "Oread" magazine containing contributions of the students. This magazine is sent to colleges all over the United States. The national organization also publishes a magazine, "The Parchment", which is now available at the periodical desk of the library.
Quill club is now operating under its new program schedule with the following officers: Evelyn Longerbeam, gr., chancellor; Mary Evans, c'43, scribe; Betty Schultheil, c'40, warden of the purse. Professor E. M. Hopkins is in charge of the club.
in Brooklyn, N.Y. This display is made up of photographs showing the work conducted at the Institute where a study is made of six conditioning factors: environmental needs, function, materials, tools, economics, and fine appearance, necessary to produce a fully developed design before manufacturing begins.
The exhibit of work done by pupils of graduates is being shown in studios 310, 314, 316, and the corridor of west Frank Strong hall. The display from Pratt Institute is showing in room 320.
