THE CUSTER-LEAGUE LOOK—The ivy-league buckle in the back isn't anything new. The student on the right is modeling a pair of Gen. George Custer's trousers which also have the buckle. Wearing them is Carolyn Davis, Kansas City, Mo. junior. At left is Nancy Stutzman, Topeka junior, who models the modern counterpart of yesterday's buckle era.
Gen. Custer Used Buckle In Back
Ivy-league belts a new fad? Nope. They've been decorating men's trousers for many years. Gen. George Armstrong Custer, famous Indian fighter, would have been stylish on our campus with his buckskin riding breeches. They have an ivy-league buckle in the back, and that was more than 80 years ago.
Custer's breeches, now in the care of the Museum of Natural History, were donated several years ago by Mrs. W. D. Fisher. Her husband received them in 1923 from Mrs. Elizabeth B. Custer, widow of the general.
Mr. Fisher was the builder of the nationally known Custer Battlefield Highway stretching from Des Moines, Iowa, to Browning, Mont.
Evidently Gen. Custer did not wear his new breeches many times before he was killed at the Battle of Little Big Horn, June 25, 1876. The nap shows little sign of wear except for a few small holes probably made by moths.
The buckskin is stiff, about $1s$ of an inch thick. The legs are heavily fringed and button on the sides with six pearl buttons, "the kind they don't make any more." Dr. E. Raymond Hall, director of the museum, commented while examining them.
At 37, his age at death, Gen. Custer must have been a trim man. The breeches would fit a man about 5 feet 10 inches tall. The waist line is about 30 inches.
Nevertheless, he would have to be pretty slim, especially in the legs, to get into those skin-tight trousers and still have room to sit in the saddle all day.
The breeches were presented to the museum on the condition that they would eventually be put in a place where they would receive maximum care and be appreciated by the public. A photograph of Gen. Custer will be included in the gift.
Dr. Hall said he was considering donating the breeches and the photograph to the fairly new Custer Battlefield Museum near Crow Agency, Mont., since such an exhibit is not suitable for the motif of a natural history museum.

Every mood in modern jazz was presented in Saturday night's "Jazz on Campus" concert at the Student Union Ballroom.
The tunes played varied from an all-out, swinging version of "Castle Rock" by the Ed Fording Combo to a smooth, moody "Moonlight Becomes You" by the Al Flores Quintet. In between were samplings of all the major influences in jazz today.
Dean Perry with his 11-piece "big band" led the session. The uptempo "Old Rockin' Chair" was the best of the set. The brass seemed a little ragged on "Blue Skies," and Perry's arrangement of "I'll Remember April" for vocalist Jane Nyer was slower than usual, dragging a bit during the instrumental portion.
Most of Fording's numbers showed the Gerry Mulligan influence, particularly in "Nights At The Turntable."
After a three-minute break, the Ed Fording Combo took the stand with "A Natural Thing To Do." Fording, Kansas City, Mo., senior, had an ususal arrangement of instruments, with a five-man rhythm section in a total crew of seven.
Fording finished up with his theme song, "Castle Rock," a wildman act from start to finish.
'Wild-Man Act'
John Carlos brought on his sextet to close out the first half of the evening, displaying some fine muted trumpet work in "Taking A Chance On Love" and "A Foggy Day."
His vocalist, Dea Ann Foley, Kansas City, Kansas freshman, sang "September Song" and "Happy, Happy Birthday, Baby."
'Fast Swinging Instrumental'
Carlos' combo closed out with "C-Jam Blues," a fast, swinging instrumental. Carlos, playing the entire set with a mute on his trumpet, was overpowered by Chuck Malone's trombone.
After a fifteen-minute intermission, the Al Flores Quintet got the second half rolling with a medium-tempo "The Lady Is A Tramp."
Flores' group finished with "But Not For Me," a medium tempo tune, with Flores keeping the horns balanced by some very subdued trombone work.
Perhaps the best balance of the evening came on with the Don Conard Quintet, as they showed a relaxed style of playing with "Crazy Rhythm." Their next tune, "No Moon At All," concentrated on the rhythm section, and pianist Jay Fisher, Marion senior, doubled
on guitar for a long solo in "Men From Mars."
'A Cool Tenor Sax'
Gary Foster, Lawrence senior, played a cool tenor sax solo in the ballad "Polka Dots And Moonbeams," a moody tune done in the Stan Getz style.
Conard's last tune was "Collard Greens and Black-Eyed Peas," with guitar, bass and vibes playing in unison.
The group did one encore, "Tangerine," played up-tempo, to finish up the evening.
The quality of the music in "Jazz on Campus" was surprisingly high—perhaps because the musicians were playing tunes of their own choice rather than dance music or rock and roll.
Only a few major faults were noted. The breaks between groups were too long, partly because the changes on the stand were made in darkness while Bill Hardy, Kansas City, Mo., graduate student acted as master of ceremonies.
For another, the near traditional twenty-minute wait past the scheduled starting time was a nuisance, and the introduction of each musician as he came on the stand took up more time.
Finally, for this lean-shanked reporter, those folding chairs got awfully hard after about the first hour.
600 Polio Shots Free At Watkins
About 600 free doses of polio vaccine were made available today at Watkins Hospital for all students, their wives and children.
For a first effort, the KU Jazz Club has come off very well. The crowd was better than expected, and the music was good.
Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the Student Health Service, said today that between 500 and 600 doses of the vaccine will become outdated in a little over a month.
He said that if students will take the shots now before the end of the semester, a third shot can be given at the end of the spring semester for close to 80 percent protection over the polio season.
The second shot should be taken within 3 to 4 weeks after the first, the third from 4 to 8 months, and a fourth shot for full protection from 8 months to a year after the first.
The hospital will be open for persons desiring shots from 8 a.m. to noon and from 2 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday.
About 700 doses of the vaccine went on sale at reduced prices during the first part of December. They were to be outdated for safe use.
Dr. Canuteson said most of that stock was used. In the previous shots at reduced prices, the students taking the shots had to have taken the first shot at Watkins Hospital to be eligible for the reduced prices.
This group of free shots will not be under that stipulation, Dr. Canuteson said.
Latin Americans Honor Al Oerter
Oerter is the principal subject of a 16-cent air mail stamp issued by that country. A picture of him throwing the discus, with an American flag at his side, depicts the 1956 Olympic games which are the general theme for the stamp.
Al Oerter, KU track star and Olympics discus throwing champion in 1956, has been honored by the Dominican Republic.

Mentally Ill In Hands Of Psychiatric Teams
Although a mental patient meets many people at a state hospital his treatment is really in the hands of a small group of people who work together as a psychiatric team, according to a recent Government Research Center publication.
This team includes a doctor psychologist, social worker, aide adjunctive therapist, chaplain and voluntary worker.
The doctor is responsible for directing the team and ties together descriptive information about he patient with a plan for treatment.
Psychologist Interperts
Since the doctor does not always know his patients personally, he depends heavily on the team in his effort to understand the patient and carry out the prescribed treatment.
The clinical psychologist interviews patients and gives psychological tests. His interpretations aid the team in understanding the patients' troubles, evaluating progress and planning treatment.
Aides Stay On 1 Ward
Psychiatric aides are the only team members who are with the patients every hour of the day and whose responsibilities are limited to one ward.
The quality of treatment in mental hospitals depends directly on the psychiatric aides. They are the persons, according to the report, who help patients carry on satisfactory relations with other persons.
Trained to use special activities in treatment of the mentally ill is the adjunctive therapist. Activities such as artwork, manual arts, rhythm bands or industrial assignments not
only serve to keep patients busy but also help them to express buried emotions and develop relationships with others.
The social worker works mostly through the family to help the patient, though he may help the patient with such problems as income tax returns or bring him news from home.
Volunteer workers are not members of the team but are able to supply extra help which the state hospital has neither the money or staff time to provide. They show him that someone outside the hospital is interested in him.
The average church member contributes about 35 cents a week for a total church budget of $6,000, notes a report of the Twentieth Century Fund.
Registered nurses and aides perform similar duties in the care and treatment of patients but due to the shortage of registered nurses who have psychiatric training many are placed in supervisory and administrative positions.
YOUR EYES should be examined today. Call for appointment. Any doctor or nurse will be applied.
