Two KU Entrepreneurs Create TGIF Sweatshirts
Students can now celebrate the end of week of study in an appropriate uniform designed by a KU medical student and a 1957 graduate.
This is a TGIF sweatshirt, which, for the benefit of all unknowing students, stands for "Thank God It's Friday."
Dick Easton, a first-year medical student, and Brent Kington, Topeka, originated the idea last summer when they saw Olympic drinking team sweatshirts advertised.
"It took us about six months to get the correct idea, proper color and material." Easton said.
Kington Is Artist Kington, the artistic end of the partnership, and Easton made an
agreement with Williams Brothers in Topeka to have the latter manufacture the shirts, and to have the partners distribute them.
The back of the sweatshirt pictures a little man holding in a full beer mug and sitting in the middle of a crest with TGIF printed directly beneath him.
Campuses Aware of TGIF
"Most campuses in the nation are aware of the term TGIF, so we hope the idea spreads rapidly," Easton said.
The front of the shirt shows a miniature view of the same character again holding up his mug for all to see.
"So far we are selling the shirts at Wichita University, Kansas State and Washburn University," he added.
An advertisement is due to appear in either the November or December issue of Playboy magazine, Easton said.

"So far business has been great. We have actually been overwhelmed with orders," he said.

20 Investigate Unfurnished Units Chancellor Murphy said he would be willing to investigate the cost of unfurnished units similar to Stouffer Place before new units are contracted. All apartments under construction will be furnished.
"The Sunnyside firetraps are going to be torn down eventually," the chancellor said. "Why should we pour excessive money into their repair?" he asked.
In 1952 Sunnyside was the only available housing for 186 married students and Corbin and North College the only permanent unmarried student dormitories except for the three scholarship halls, he said.

"The only reason Sunysyse still stands is that there would be no other place for those students to live," the Chancellor said.

As evidence of progress made during his seven years as chancellor, Dr. Murphy presented this picture of student housing:
"The urgency with which they are being torn down is my urgency,"

Deeply Interested
"The administration is deeply interested in student housing of all kinds, Dr. Murphy stated. Every person enrolled in the University is a student, whether married or single, he said.
"Corbin and North College Halls are free from bond deficits and therefore can be operated more cheaply than Gertrude Sellars Pearson," Chancellor Murphy said.
In January, 1959, 240 married student units will be available in Stouffer Place. The University is housing 2,000 more single students than in 1952 and about 1,300 more will be housed in the dormitories under construction.
But the rent for the three dormitories is the same, he added. The net operating profit from Corbin and North College made possible the construction of Carruth-O'Leary Hall for men, the Chancellor said. Without the Corbin-North College earnings, rent on the newer dormitories would be unreasonably high.
The University sees the need for increased housing and is stepping up its building program as fast as funds permit, he said.
