'Hot' calendar in big demand at Pike house
By JANICE GUNN Staff Reporter
The Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity has exhausted its supply of "Dream Girls" for the 1981-82 school year, but it hopes to have more next year.
The "Dream Girls" that the fraternity have run out of are the 1982 "Dream Girls" picture-calendars that the fraternity distributed free this year.
THE CALENDAR features pictures of 12 women from different KU sororites and a "Merry Christmas" down with only a fur coat covering her.
"We're the only Pike calendar I've seen with a centerfold," Brett Boa, calzature owner at Mint Jumper, says "we're free to do anything with the calendar as long as it is in good taste."
The fraternity, known as the
"Pikes," had 3,000 of the calendars printed this fall and, Bozz said, it now had only 25 calenders left.
Pike 'officials said that people still called or came by them to seeking a call from (girl) "fair."
He and some of the fraternity's other officers were hopeful that the calendars were "hot enough" to win their award an award from its national chapter.
The national chapter gives awards for several categories, Boaz said, including best photograph and best overall calendar.
The fraternity selected its "Dream Girls" by screening applications from most of the sororites and a few KU residence halls.
ON THE APPLICATION, the women were asked their classwork hours,
About 100 girls applied for the 13 "Dream Girl" positions, Boaz said, and they were all screened by the five chief judges. All the models were paid $1 to pose. All the models were paid $1 to pose.
hobbies, modeling experience and interests. They also submitted pictures of themselves.
The girls were selected mostly for how they looked and photographed, he said. The calendar is used for publicity and rushing.
"I was surprised because the girls were very cooperative on the way they would pose," Boaz said.
ONE OF THE "Dream Girls," however, was not as pleased with the publicity it created for her.
Susan Brown, the "Miss August Dream Girl," from the Delta DeltaDelta sorority, said that people
"If it ever came around again, I don't think I would do it." Brown said. "So you’re the poster girl, and when too many people do it, it gets to be old."
recognized her in public and made comments about her picture.
She said that the chairman had asked her to pose in a swimsuit, but she had qualls about it. So she had two sets of pictures taken, one in a swimsuit and the other in a tank top and a pair of shorts.
WHEN THEY CHOSE her pose, Brown said, she was in Salina, her hometown, and she was relieved that they chose the shorts.
"It it was an experience and it was fun, but I'm glad it was August, so I had only half a month before people flip the page," Brown said.
page, Brown said.
Another "Dream Girl," Kathy
Stevens, who wore a red, off-the-shoulder blouse in her pose, said that she had never done professional modeling.
"I thought he had a real good job on it," said Stevens, a member of the Omicron Omicron Pi sorority. "Everyone thought it was a real good picture."
She said that she did not get to select the shot they used of her, either.
One restaurant owner in the Lawrence area who took out a large advertisement in the calendar said he thought the calendar was a good idea. He has had the calendar hanging just behind the counter in his business.
"It does attract attention," said the advertiser, Ron Davis, owner of a news show based in Waco. "Everybody would like to meet the girls, for sure."
