Pretty Look,' Simplicity, Elegance Shown In Fashions
Thursday, Nov. 29, 1956 University Daily Kansan
Miss Brott said, "We can't say enough for pants in 1956" and showed many new styles in women's pant fashions ranging from black velveten toreador pants to the newest creation, "the jumpsuits," a one-piece playsuit with a shirt top and a bloused and belted waistline. Jumpsuits were shown with both the tapered pant-leg and the short pant-leg.

The importance of "the pretty look," the look of the overblouse, the look of the "sissy" and "simplicity of silhouette and the elegance of fabric"-all fashion "musts"-were displayed at the "My Fair Lady" fashion show Wednesday in the Student Union Ballroom by Woolf Brothers of Kansas City, their fashion coordinator, Miss Sally Brott, and 12 members of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority and three men who modeled the clothes.
The popular bulky knit sweaters were highlighted with the pants as were the man-tailored shirts of cotton and wool. The man-tailored effect was also apparent in many of the dresses, somewhat feminized this year with ruffles, ribbons, thin narrow ties and brilliant cuff links.
Many Pant Fashions
The fashion show seemed to foretell the re-birth of one style note and the gradual fading away of another. The "leg-o-'mutton" sleeve, so popular in the early part of the century, is undergoing a current revival, but the bouffant petticoats are dying in popularity and the use of crisp fabrics in full skirts has made the petticoat virtually unnecessary under today's fashions.
Also prominent was the new "glittered look," achieved by rhinestone sprinkled skirts of polished cotton, a gold embroidered white wool sheath dress, and a bejeweled pink formal.
All of the outfits shown were striking and fashionable, but particularly noteworthy were such effects as the use of fur trim—large fur muffs worn high on the upper arm, bracelet fashion, a mink-trimmed cashmere sweater, a fox stole worn with a cocktail dress, and lots of fur-fabric hats. One hat was made of fur fabric called "moose."
"The luxury of cashmere" was emphasized combined with the important fashion note, the dyed-to-match idea from hat to purse to shoes.
The models who presented fashion trends for the holiday and midwinter season were Diane Guyot, Arkansas City, Connie Deal, Wichita, Tinker Marceau, Overland Park, and Mary Ann McGrew, Wellington, juhiors.

In KU's History
Since the establishment of the University in 1868, many KU buildings have been constructed and remodeled, but only two of the University buildings have changed names.
Only Two Buildings Changed Names
The first campus building erected on its present site was called University Hall. It was built in 1872 when the University was six years old. Before construction of University Hall was started, Chancellor John Fraser went East to examine the most modern university buildings then in use.
In 1878 the building was named Fraser Hall in honor of Mr. Fraser, KU's first chancellor. Until 1897 it was the largest educational building in the United States.
When the electrical engineering building burned to the ground in 1898, George Fowler, a wealthy Kansas City packer and rancher, gave the University $30,000 to rebuild the shops as a memorial to his father.
Mr. Fowler Absent When the building was finished, a
dedication program was held at which Mr. Fowler was to be honored. But he refused to come to the dedication for fear of demonstration.
In 1949 the new Fowler shops were constructed, and in 1852 the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information moved into the original Fowler building.
The journalism building was dedicated as Flint Hall in the fall of 1955 in honor of Leon Nelson Flint, who was professor and head of the department of journalism from 1906 to 1946.
Ancient Egyptians, who first domesticated the cat, made it a religious idol because only cats could keep rats and mice from eating the annual grain crop, the nation's chief food supply.
