Men Still Wear Khaki Pants
By Douglas Parker
To put a male through college requires the purchase of some khaki pants...more khaki pants...some more khaki pants...and still more khaki pants.
with variations due to seasonal changes. In the winter the pants go with a parka; in the spring and summer with a sport shirt; in the fall with a sweater.
The college male nowadays opens his closet—big or small—and thinks he is moving into a tent due to the multitude of khaki pants hung before him.
Some collegiates wear the pants dirty or clean, buckled or sans buckle, with belt or minus belt, and some three-quarter length for that pirate look for lounging.
That is the campus look for men
Conformity Is the Key
Just as the coed can be identified by white bobbysocks, so can the college male be identified with the khaki leg cover.
The trend is to complement the pants with similar shoe wear. The sneaker, which through use reaches a darker shade than the pants, and the soft leather suede shoe—high or low toned—have found their uses
top toped have found their uses
Top the khaki pants and paralle
shoe wear with tan, rain-resistant,
wind-breakers and the style is set.
Throw in socks—any size or color—shirts with squares or stripes (preferably brightly colored) and some accessory wear to meet the variety of Kansas weather and you have the college male in everyday wear.
The military service has nothing on the KU male as far as a uniform goes. Both species display a uniform.
It's not particularly inspired, but it's functional. And that's more than you can say for some of the khaki-clad men.
Women Now Wear Pantaloons
Pantaloons, in a modified form. have been introduced into the ladies' fashion world for spring.
Although the day of the hoop skirts and ankle-length pantallets is gone, the well-dressed lady may now wear knee-length pantalons adorned with lace and ribbons. They resemble tight-fitting tooreador pants and are worn as an undergarment.
They may be worn under full skirts in the summer in place of a straight slim.
Dick Rolf, Kirkwood, Mo., junior,
commented, "Personally I'm not in
in favor of them. I don't think they're
very feminine."
When asked what they thought about the new pantaloons, 10 university students gave the following opinions:
Carolyn Grother, Des Moines, Iowa, sophomore said, "I'd never spend my money on them. They might have been okay in the days of hoop skirts, but today they're not practical."
Jim Austin, Topeka junior, said,
"Frankly I would rather see a little bit more leg, but under the circumstances I guess the uniqueness of palantouls will make them of value on the campus."
Susie Beuler, Hutchinson junior,
stated, "I think it would be a good
idea to have pantalones dyed to
match summer dresses. But I think
they would be too warm in summer,
so I wouldn't buy any."
Hal Archer, Olathe junior, remarked. "It sounds like a wonderful boost to the female who wants to
maintain her femininity and still wear the pants in the family."
Jim Londerholm, Mission senior, said, "it would like to see them. They could not be worse than some of the things girls wear."
Diana Fitzgerald, Beloit sophomore — "They'll never go over. They are ridiculous and a waste of money." Paul Motzkus, Russell senior, asked, "What good would they do? They wouldn't show would they?"
Barbara Holm, Prairie Village sophomore, said. "They will probably be just like the leotards and everybody will end up wearing them.
This is the everybody look alike season. Male, female—there is no difference in appearance during the rainy season.

The Shoe: Patent polished to great prettiness . . . made with designer's simplicity . . .
and cut . . . including pleated pump bow. A heel that looks skyscrapery, but isn't. Add this black beauty to the bright colors of spring fashion . . .
and you'll have that Life Stride Look of perfection.
