From the depths of the pool room comes the cry of a cat, "G-off my sures."
This catch phrase of the '50s had a great deal of meaning to a generation which shortened cars to "gumball machines," cars as "rods," convertibles as "fip top boxes" and described everything
The "gals" wore patta angelora sweaters, long skirts, rolled-down socks, pony-tails and saddles over their tops. They wore white button-down shirts, flat tops and bucks. Their pants ranged from plaited baggies with floral patterns to cropped baskets. Hoods stalked all big cities wearing black leather jacketss, t-shirts, greasy jeans and occasional baseball bottom under the arm.
The '50s were marked for some by memories of Korea, the war that brought Cold War. For blacks it was a period of almost total exclusion from public life.

Boll, reheated in Athens while en route to Israel, said, "I had difficulty believing it. It took half an hour before I had won the Nobel Prize."
Asked what he would do with the prize money, Boll said, "I don't know yet, but part of it will be paid to a small fund that aid to writers in jail."

Like any good revival, its monetary value is a bit less than "Fats" Domino and Chubby Cheeker are getting fat again along with their contemporaries, Randy Berry, Elvis Little Richard and Ricky Nelson.
Shortly after the oldies started making their way back up the hill, they were able to begin to cash in on the success. Sha-Sa-Na, a group of Counbia graduates affecting the 506 rock n roll band, definitely the highlight of this pack.
His latest novel, "Grouppenbilt mit Dame,"—Group Portrait with a Lady," appeared last year and he hailed as his masterpiece.

This also is true of the '50s revival. National clothing distribution are pursued 700 by 800 access codes and 100% line this feature pleated pants with cuffs, skinny belts, argyll socks, reversible silk jackets with an Oriental dragon on the back, again, saddle shoes are "in"
The Thom McAns stores across the country reported that saddle shoes sales made up 10 per cent of the annual revenue at Lawrence, McCall's Shoes, 229 Massachusetts St., has done a great deal of business in both men's and women's saddle shoes, according to the manager of the store.
The 50s vogue in women's fashion is dark nail polish, bright red lipstick and the Angora fur. These can be seen with a quick run through the rack. They are in the Village Set. They reportedly are selling well
Lawrence merchants, though not quite willing to admit that the revival may be as strong as some
think, are finding "soo traditions" seeping into their stock. Jim Schuben manages a bohemian sleeve of deep sleeve come up from the waist, was an item in the store when he started in business in
"I really don't think they knew what the 50s were," said Chris Dunn, manager of Pobah in the Malls Shopping Center.
Dunn said that comfort was the main criterion of men's fashion today. He said the new baggie shirt, made from nylon, men were tired of wearing tight pants. Dunn scoffed at the two-year life expectancy a buyer for Wolf Brothers in Kansas City and infamous hip-bottom, bottom.

"There are two strains of that shop there. There are those that want warm, cheap and cool items; then there are those that want to be stylist," said Pat Howard, assistant manager of Bokonat an
Motorcycle jackets with the name of a gang on the back, embroidered satin jacket and even men's bowling shirt with deals are the most popular items for the '30s sold at Bokonon.
Howard said, "The stores in town are consistent in look and that's why they like to shop here."
Possibly the best local authorities on the '50s revival are Pete Martin and five other KU football players. The roll group called Lonnie Fame and the Beltones. The group got together last year to do a benefit dance for Headquarters, a drug agency. They also somewhat shabby put-on met
with such immediate success that the group decided to do a few more shows. Illinois has moved to Oklahoma, Colorado, Illinois and have received an audition at the end of the season. It will now be moving to Southeast Asia.
"We're getting paid more than some groups that I think are better. I don't know what it is, but they are good. It is really "nun." said Martin.
Martin, 21, also said that many in the audience, ranging from 21 to 28 years of age, came to their dresses dressed in 20s original.
"It's like a Halloween party every weekend," Martin said. "People actually got in gang wrestling our show at the Union last year."
Their show begins with the audience being divided up into gangs. They have a make-up contest and a bubble gum party. The audience presents present舞者 as prizes. They also do a set on the senior prom.
Martin said this type of show as a release from the persona of Michael Jackson and other recent artists. He said the audiences liked to scream during the performances and enjoy the theatres of the group during the slow songs such as "Say It Like That."

Others say they think young people in the 50s were not able to follow their parents, who were pushed by their parents to look to the future and achieve.
The "fabulous '50s" began in 1954 and came to a screeching halt nine years later with the assassination of President John Kennedy. No one on the American rocking, instead of sockhooks and proms there were sit-ins and boycots.
Police Charge 5 KU Students In Petty Theft
Five University of Kansas students had been arrested after they were arrested Wednesday for taking building materials from a condo.
The theft occurred sometime between 3 a.m. and 3:30 a.m., according to police.
The men stated that they had taken the materials to use in the construction of a float for KU homecoming, police reported.
The men were apprehended immediately after the theft as a Lawrence police officer on patrol reportedly noticed the building materials through a window of the students were driving.
The officer stopped the truck and questioned the men about the materials, the men threw them out, and stolen them, police reported.

Taxes, Drugs Stressed In Docking-Kay Debate
WICHTIA (AP) - Subjects of the first debate between Democratic Gov. Robert Docking and his Republican opponent, Morris Kay, included taxes. He accused abuse and the lot of the aid.
Reporters saw the program on a TV set in another studio.
Kay spoke first after Docking a coin in flip币. He attacked the company that said it took twice as long to build highways now as it did six years ago, taxes were less, and there were 12,000 fewer manufacturing jobs than three years ago. Kay said he earned tax relief and new leadership.
The half-hour debate was taped Thursday night and will be shown 9 o'clock at the various stations. It will follow an 8:30 p.m. debate by the lieutenant governor candidates, Democratic art and Dave Owens.
Docking and Kay each were allowed to make a two-minute statement, then they answered questions from Jack Hicks. Technicians were the only persons in the studio.
Docking defended his record, saying he had upgraded education, worked hard for tax and made taxes equitable and fair.

Both agreed that Kansas didn't need a tax increase.
Kay said "true welfare reform" would remove senior citizens from welfare and put them in a new, separate building. She already had an excellent program for senior citizens.
In closing, Hicks asked the candidates if they would make women an important part of their
Docking said he had appointed women to 39 boards and commissions and they were a very part of his administration.
"Absolutely," said Kay. "I think there are probably 250, perhaps 300 agencies, commission and committees in Kansas. I think women who have to take the job are qualified, should very definitely have the opportunity to be appointed and I would do so."
