Two KU coeds like go-go dancing
Long hair flying, bodies contorted,
eardrums pounding
...it's all in a night's work for
two KU coeds.
Buffy Barnes, Kenilworth, Ill., junior and Jan Maxwell, Columbus, Kan., senior, manage to survive and consider their working conditions natural, because Buffy and Jan are go-go girls at the Tee Pee in Lawrence.
"I know Steve Scruby (manager of the Tee Pee) and during the summer he wrote to me and asked if I would like to go-go dance," said Buffy.
The coeds began working at the Tee Pee during Country Club week.
"At first I worried about everyone's reaction, but the job was so much fun that I didn't care what people thought," she said.
Jan explained that one of her sorority sisters who knows Scruby was asked to find someone to dance.
"This girl was yelling down the hall, asking if anyone would like to be a go-go dancer," Jan said. "I didn't have anything else to do so I said 'why not.'"

Neither of the girls had go-go danced before. Their reasons for taking the jobs involved more than money.

"I love to dance and this is just like dancing any other place except I get paid and have enough room to dance," Buffy said.

"I took the job because I'm an extrovert," said Jan, "and I'll have to admit, I did want the money to fly to Chicago."
"I think people were shocked at first because we're something new in Lawrence," Jan said.

Jan and Buffy said the job is not really a steady one, so they don't wear special costumes.
"Everyone has really been nice and none of the guys in the audiences have made any passes. Of course guys that we know kid us a lot." she said.
Neither of the girls have had any bad experiences that go-go girls are sometimes subject to.

"Most of the guys just watch from a distance," Buffy said.
The girls in the audience are the most fun because most of them would like to be the go-go dancers, Jan said.
Jackie flies to Athens; plans to wed
NEW YORK (UPI)—Mrs. John F. Kennedy, 39, will marry divorced Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis, 62, within the next few weeks, her mother announced Thursday. Mrs. Kennedy and her children flew to Greece Thursday night.
Mrs. Kennedy and the children boarded a chartered Olympic Airlines jet at Kennedy Airport for a flight to Athens.
The announcement of the engagement by the former First Lady's mother, Mrs. Hugh D. Auchincloss, caught all but a few Kennedy family intimates by surprise. She said the two would be married before the fifth anniversary of the late President Kennedy's assassination Nov. 22.
In Athens, close friends of Onassis, who owns Olympic Airlines, said he will marry Mrs. Kennedy on his private island of Skorpios. Mrs. Kennedy was expected to go there by helicopter after landing in Athens.
In her announcement, Mrs. Auchincloss had said the wedding would be in two or three weeks. But Mrs. Kennedy's secretary, Nancy Tuckerman, who relayed the word to newsmen, said it would more likely be within a week.
Suede coats have been a tradition among KU coeds for at least five years, but the leather, suede and vinyl variety in fabrics is now encompassing KU's fashion scene.
'Leather look' is'in' for fashionable coeds
The "leather look" has become a part of almost every aspect of a fashionable coed's wardrobe.
Ranging in importance from trim to entire outfits, the "hide" variety can be found in practically all price brackets.
Many of the inexpensive varieties of the leather look are made from a synthetic vinyl fabric, textured and treated to look and feel like leather. These vinyl fabrics are also easily cleaned, reducing their cost for unkeep.
Most noticeable around the hill are culotte and slightly gathered skirts styled in leather. Weskits, jackets and jumpers are also seen in number.
Blouses appropriate for the leather looks are styled with big collers, large cuffs and usually accented with a bright scarf. Bulky sweaters, some in rib knits with turtlenecks also appear quite popular for wear with this fabric.
The leather look has extended to watchbands, jewelry, headbands and almost all accessory lines.
The new watchbands are considerably wider, worn with a large face watch. For practicality, many of the watchbands have smaps to hold the watch, so that many colors and band sizes can be used.
In the jewelry line, leather rings are important. Usually simply styled, the rings are about one-half an inch wide, and are fastened with a large snap. The snap is also used on leather bracelets.
Leather has long been used because of its practical aspects. Primitive man used tanned hides for clothing. Because of its flexibility, man has used leather for shoes and other accessory items, such as buckles for suits of armor.
Now, leather is being used not only for its practical aspects, but for its rich look and grained texture.
Even in shoes, purses and belts, the attention is turned more and more to design rather than function. Especially in shoes, the trend for more leather in the style and more tooling in the leather has become apparent.
Purses this fall are many times twice or three times as large as compared with last year's. They also have huge compartments and pockets.
