Campus fashion takes on feminine, romantic twist
In a feminine, romantic mood?
Ready to transform from the everyday grubby look?
The romantic trend in fashions this spring and fall holds the easiest way to achieve both.
For lie coed, especially, the change can be done in one of many ways, ranging from putting on a dirndl skirt and blouse to even adding tendrils to a hairstyle.
Also known as the nostalgic trend in fashions, parts of the romantic look become especially important in campus clothing.
Most noticeable of these aspects are the slightly gathered, shaped skirt and the wide-collared, cuffed blouse.
Because of the shaping in these skirts, the fabrics used are different somewhat from those used in last year's skirts. They generally have more body, added either by bonding or sizing.
Fabrics used for blouses this year are also changed. Although crepe fabric has been used for some time, it has become even more popular because of its feminine look. Crepe also lends itself to the shaping of the blouses for fitting slightly to the figure.
Along with crepe, "see-through" fabrics such as voile
THAT ROMANTIC FEELING

and lightweight pique are often used. This usage might point to the new nude look being stressed by many designers now.
The blouses are styled with wide collars, sometimes worn open at the neck. Others are worn buttoned, accented with long, flowing scarves. These scarves are secured either in a square knot or with a small scarf ring.
Another characteristic of the blouses is the large, almost oversized cuffs. Some of the blouses have as many as three buttons on the cuffs, others are made similar to men's shirts, with only one button or opening for cuff links.
To complete the romantic look, the sleeves of the blouses are full falling from gathers at the top, to just slightly fitted cuffs.
Lace, satin, crepe and chiffon are leading fabrics in styles of the romantic look. Styles in this trend also include the full skirt and fitted blouses, along with the heightened waistline dress and basic princess lines.
Accents for these dresses include satin ribbons and antiquelooking pins. Colored opaque hose or patterned stockings complete the look.
Hairstyles are copied in part from the "little girl" appearance. They are either cropped short, styled in small ringlets or worn in long, tumbling tendrils.
Shoes worn with either of the two basic outfits of the romantic look are often patent leather, styled with a large heel, set back from the end of the shoe.
Open house is tomorrow
Persons wanting a close-up view of the moon may see it tomorrow night from KU's observatory in Lindley Hall.
An open house of the room housing the University's six-inch telescope will be from 7 to 10 pm, unless skies are cloudy, said N. W. Storer, professor of astronomy. The observatory is reached through room 500.
Saturday night will bring a near half-moon, the best phase to view, Storer said, because the angle of the sun creates shadows at that stage and makes surface features and mountains visible.
New image this year for fashion board
Fashion Board is going to do something new this year.
Instead of maintaining an image of being an organization that models for a few fashion shows and tells the freshmen women what is acceptable attire for campus events, the 1968-69 board is going to concentrate on being a service to the University and Lawrence.
"In a time when you can't get by with surface appeal, we're trying to prove that we are necessary and helpful to the University, the community and the university woman," said Jan Burquest, Atlanta, Ga., senior and chairman of the Fashion Board.
Since Fashion Board was established, its main purpose has been to model for university sponsored fashion shows, help the merchants in Lawrence by modeling in their shows and to help the freshmen woman by acquaint ing her with the dress at KU.
Last year's board had five basic programs. They sponsored the Best-Dressed Coed contest, modeled for High School Leadership Day, Mother's Weekends, the CWEN fashion show and the spring Bridal Show.
"We're willing to serve any living group in any area, to help in etiquette, fashion or service," Miss Burquest said.
The board has planned three service projects this year. The first is a car wash to raise money to buy a sewing machine for the Ballard Center.
"The Center has some machines, but they're in poor condition, and more are needed," said Miss Burquest.
The group also has plans to sponsor a grooming workshop for underprivileged girls of junior-high school age. They intend to work with these girls on clothing and appearance.
The board also wants to help the KU male this year.
"We want to go to fraternity and men's living groups to show them Christmas gifts which their girlfriends might like," said Miss Burquest.
