WALKING DATES-KU "Highlander" William H. Taylor, Banffshire, Scotland, graduate student, and Sally Brackett, Hinsvale, Ill., freshman, walk in the grove near Potter Lake. Couples on Sunday dates in Scotland generally walk because movie theaters are closed and dancing is prohibited by the church on those days, Taylor said.
Student Reviews Scottish Courting
By Carrie Edwards
The Saturday night date Scottish style would probably include at least an hour at the "beer bar" in the Student Union buildings in that country, William Taylor Banffshire, Scotland, graduate student said yesterday.
"Men and the women they take out often drink beer at the beer bars after a movie and before dancing at a hop in the union ballrooms. There are no rules against having or drinking liquor on college campuses in Scotland and England."
Taylor in a University Daily Kansan interview discussed the Scottish Highlander type of courting. He said his people never refer to women or girls as "dates."
Taylor said professors usually join students at 9 p.m. at the beer bars and often sing risque songs before the bar closes at 10 p.m. He said the hop generally lasted from 10 p.m. to 11:55 p.m. every Saturday.
"Some 85 per cent of Scotland is Presbyterian. The church there forbids dancing on Sundays so the music groups at the hop stop five minutes before midnight to make sure no one dances past 12."
The man always walks his woman home or takes her home on the bus, he said.
Taylor said the men in Scotland are less expressive than Americans in showing their affections.
"Scottish couples do not kiss for ten minutes in the doorways of women's residence halls as I've noticed at KU. One goodnight kiss may end the date inside the main door of the woman's roaming house."
No women are required now to live in halls of residence at Aberdeen School, the university I attended in Scotland, Taylor said.
"Almost all dates start with the fellow asking a woman over the telephone to meet him on a street corner, in a park or in bad weather in some sheltered doorstep of a store." Taylor said.
"About 95 per cent of all Scottish people depend on public transportation for all traveling. The women do not hesitate to meet any of their male friends in public places. A bus or streetcar runs near or by all Scottish homes about every five minutes. This makes it a lot safer for the women in my country than for women in America who might have to wait for some time for buses." He said if both are students, the woman pays

for everything on one date and the man pays on the next date. If the man is working and the woman isn't, he pays for everything. Taylor added.
- Taylor said he thinks going steady in Scotland is the result of American "G.I.'s" going out with the women from that country and carrying on the custom of going steady.
"The engagement lasts at least nine months or until the woman's parents have enough money to throw a wedding with at least 150 guests coming for a dinner before the ceremony and for parties afterward."
He said the Scottish people live frugally all their lives except when they have parties or weddings. Taylor wasn't sure how much the average wedding cost since he said he had no experience in such things.
"A bride's friends cover her with tar and feathers or other sticky mixtures and carv her around the village in a cart. This is done for a joke about two days before the wedding.
Villagers throw pennies into the cart. These are used for party expenses for the friends."

Taylor said during the wedding the bridegroom, who is traditionally married in his kilts, faces the church altar while the bride's father escorts her to a place next to the groom. Neither the bridegroom nor the bride look at each other's face until they kiss after he gives her the ring, he said.

Parties throughout the bride's village follow the wedding and last as long as six days, Taylor said. The newly-weds walk to a friend's house in the village or catch a train in the late evening for their honeymoon, he said.

BLACKSTONE TORT
Pride of the law school, Blackstone has never lost a moot trial. But there's nothing moot about his preferences in dress. He finds that when he's comfortable, he can trap a witness and sway a jury like Clarence Darrow.
So he always wears Jockey brand briefs while preparing his briefs. Exclusive Jockey tailoring gives him a bonus of comfort he gets in no other underwear. Fine Jockey combed cotton is more absorbent, smoother fitting, too.
Tolook your best, feel your best, take a tip from Tort.
Always insist on Jockey brand briefs, $1.25. Your campus store has them now!
