OLD CLOTHES MOVE APPEARS TO BE FAD
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Laws Step Out in Brand New Overalls and Khaki
Suits
That the old clothes movement was only a fade seems to be the opinion voiced by a majority of the students and faculty members over the hill. As one student said, "It sure started out with lots of enthusiasm but after the newness wore off it it was practiced and then the old clothes the hill would never know that an old clothes movement had ever been started here."
One engineer said, "We've always more or less worn old clothes but what gets me is the way the Laws blossomed in over allure and khaki suits, all brand new. That in itself has been a big problem but that might have been overlooked if they had continued to wear them. Instead there are just a few holding
"This old clothes movement," said one girl, "proves that the women are not the only ones who are susceptible to fads for the men on the hill made the movement nothing more or less than a bad."
and they will probably discard them for a new 'spring model' in a few days."
"The good of the movement," said a downtown clothing merchant, "was mostly midirected for instead of wearing out their old clothes, many students bought new suits of overalls and khaki."
DROP BUILDING PLANS
Ohio State Abandons Program for Five Buildings After Receiving Appropriations
Ohio State University is among the institutions that have recently abandoned all efforts to carry out their building programs. The decision to give up the building program was made by the board of trustees after a careful study of the present conditions.
The board of trustees already had its appropriation from the state legislature, and plans for the proposed buildings has been approved for the abandonment of the plan, was the belief that public funds should not be used at the time in building operations. Five new buildings were included in the pro-
The University of Illinois is another institution which has given up its plan for new buildings.
Although Ohio has abandoned plans for new buildings on its campus the action does not effect the plans for the new stadium and athletic plant, but it does affect the city's alumni and citizens of the state, aside from the state funds.

Superstition No Fear For Students of K. U.
Along with the passing and lost superstitions is the one, "Always leave a house or building the same door you entered or you will have bad luck." K. U. students long ago disregarded this superstition or at least encouraged their students to build on the campus. Students enter Fraser at 8:30 o'clock by the main entrance. They leave for their 9:30 class by one of the back doors. If they have a class in Snow, they may enter any one of three entrances. If east Ad is their next class, they may enter one door and then go to gym and here again are two visible entrances.
All the buildings have at least two entrances. There are seven entrances in the Journalism building. This may have been foresight on the part of the police, who thought the ordeal might have to leave in a hurry, occasionally.
Necessity alone would break down the superstition to always leave by the same door. Students have little knowledge of the dangers and bad luck that may come to them in hurrying from an English quiz right into one in French.
