The Manly Look
Monica Flinner, Manhattan senior, steps out into that perpetual Hill wind wearing the "in" look, the man-tailored ensemble.
Manly look is'in' for girls, that is
"Haberdashery" is a new trend in women's fall fashions.
"Haberdashery," meaning men's furnishings, suggests the man-tailored clothes worn by KU women.
The total look of "Haberdashery" begins with a suit, jacket, vest or sweater. Styling of these items is man-tailored, with large lapels, open-vent backs, more pockets and longer lengths.
Added to the jacket or vest is an A-line, a slightly pleated skirt or a culotte skirt. Many of these skirts are leather or hardware trimmed.
Slacks are also important to the look. They too are mansyled, fit loosely, and many are cuffed.
Accessories often include a man's shirt. Ties and buckled or scarfed collars are characteristics of these shirts. Leather racing gloves, knee socks or opaque tights and "clunky" wing-tip shoes complete an outfit.
One or two-inch wide heels and heavy soles help make them
comfortable and practical for hill-climbing.
Coeds interviewed agree the clothes are perfect for almost all casual events-from class to dates, and especially football games.
Susan Brimacombe, Kansas City, Mo. junior, finds them "comfortable, easy to coordinate and stylish."
Coordination and versatility of outfits is important and the total look of "Haberdashery" makes them a breeze.
"The style is flattering to more girls. The total look is versatile and can be suited to more occasions with minor changes of accessories," Leslie McElfresh, Osage City junior, said.
Street segment on Mississippi to be blocked off
The stretch of Mississippi Street behind the Kansas Union will be completely closed to automobile traffic from September 22-27.
The wooden bridge which has been carrying northbound traffic over the Union addition will be dismantled.
While the street is closed, paving and construction work at the Union's new pedestrian tunnel will be completed.
The blocked-off area will run from the corner of 11th and Mississippi Streets on the north to the junction of Mississippi Street and Baumgartner Drive behind the Union.
The Stadium parking lot (Zone X) will be open to the public as usual, and can be entered from the south via Memorial Drive.
Julian Bond is slated to speak during National Affairs Week
Julian Bond, 28-year-old Georgia civil rights leader, is scheduled to speak at KU at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 21 in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
The Negro state legislator's appearance here will highlight National Affairs Week, scheduled for Oct. 21-25 by Student Union Activities. Theme for the week will be "Challenges to a New Administration." Jay Mason, Hobbs, N.M. sophomore, is chairman.
Julian Bond was catapulted into national prominence last month after his nomination for
Although plans are not yet definite, Alf Landon, former Kansas governor and 1936 Republican presidential candidate may also appear during the week. Mason said he hopes for Landon to give an overall perspective of the 1968 election.
vice president at the Democratic National Convention. Earlier he had led the integrated group which successfully challenged the all-white delegation of Georgia Gov. Lester Maddox.
In 1966 the Negro pacifist was refused a seat in the Georgia House of Representatives because of his opposition to United States involvement in the war in Viet Nam and his support of draft card burners.
An Atlanta federal court, however, upheld the right of the Georgia legislature to refuse to seat Bond on the grounds that his public statements were a denial of his lawmaker's oath to uphold the state and U.S. constitutions.
"I admire the courage of anyone who burns his draft card," Bond was quoted as saying in Time magazine in 1966.
He was charged with treason by white legislators, 1,000 demonstrators marched on the Atlanta state capitol in protest and Bond's lawyers filed suit in federal court to force the house to reverse its decision.
Bond is scheduled to arrive in Lawrence the afternoon of Oct. 21. If he arrives early enough he may be able to speak to classes. Tentative plans call for Bond to spend the night in Lawrence and depart the next morning. His destination after leaving Lawrence is not yet known.
Other topics to be discussed during National Affairs Week include "Problems in the Cities," Oct. 22 and 23: "Problems in Foreign Affairs," Oct. 24; and "Methods of Conducting Elections," Oct. 25. Films and panel discussions by faculty members will be included each day.
