'Preferential Rush More Dignified'
Women's rush at KU took on a new twist this year—preferential bidding.
Voicing the opinion of the sorority women, Miss Emily Taylor, dean of women, called the new system "a more dignified way of operating rush week."
The major differences in preferential bidding is that both the rushee and the sorority houses turn in written preferences as to pledging. These are matched up in the dean's office and each matching bid is binding to both the sorority and the rushee.

Eliminates Oral Bidding
This system eliminates the oral bidding which formerly took place in each house, and with it, the chance of not being able to pledge everyone who returned to the house.
Both sorority actives and new pledges have endorsed the new system.
Miss Taylor said that the new system "is good for the whole Panhellenic spirit. Neither the houses nor the rushees know the names that were on the first and second lists, consequently the pledges are received in a much better atmosphere."
Betty Thomas, Mission senior: "It is a definite improvement over what we have had in the past. It is fairer to everyone involved, but, as with anything, it can be improved."
Sandra Blankenship, Great Bend senior: "It saved a lot of hard feelings that came up last year. It was much more successful from both sides."
Hazel Bauerrichter, Quincy, Ill. senior: "It seemed most successful and the majority is pleased. It eliminated last day disappointments."
Barbara Bach, Kansas City, Mo,
sophomore: "It's very good and I'm
pleased with it. I like the secrecy,
not broadcasting everything."
Julie Foster. Topeka sophomore:
"Of course it's to the sorority's advantage until the very end, and it could be improved."

DURHAM, N. H. —(UPI)Men are buying more and more mix-and-match clothes and continue to prefer wool as a fabric, the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension Service reports.
'Mix-and-Match Suits Men Fine
Sales of separate sports jackets and trousers showed a one-third increase from 1951 to 1956.
Industry production figures demonstrate man's preference for all-wool fabrics or those made with a woolen base.
More than 90 per cent of the regular weight suits made between 1851 and 1956 were wool or primarily of wool. Wool also was used in 35 per cent of the lightweight suits made in 1851.

Big and Bold and It's Plaid
Plaids are wonderful this year and they have gotten bigger and bigger both in popularity and size.
They are positively gigantic in a dazzling array of foliage hues, blue and green combinations and red sparked patterns.
Newest red plaids are those that mingle burgundy with navy or clear red with pink and wine.
In sharp contrast to the bright patterns are off-beat colored antique plaids—in subtle shades of antique green, gray and white.
