Blue jeans keep selling despite price hikes
By RACHEL CASE
Staff Writer
team waiters may be singing the blues. Despite recent increases in the price of jeans, some Lawrence merchants said yesterday that they were selling more jeans than usual said they thought the price of jeans would increase again in the near future.
Russ Livingston, assistant manager of Litwins, said that Levi denim bells cost $8.98 when he began working at the store two and one-half years ago. Last year they went up to $10.25 and this year they are selling for $13.50.
Livingston said he had heard that Levi's would increase in price, but he couldn't tell when the increase would occur or how much it would be. He said that the retailer had no control over the price, which is set at the factory.
A denim shortage was the cause of the price increase two years ago, he said, but he attributed the recent price rise to increased labor costs.
Williams said that there was no demi-
mortgage, but the great increase in the de-
demic rate has driven them.
Sony Williams, manager of Lawrence Surplus, said the price of Levi jeans would increase in three or four months. However, you wouldn't couldn't say exactly when or by how much.
Prices at Lawrence Surplus ranged from $150-$200 per hour, depending on the of the prewired dmim styles, he said.
Temple said many manufacturers that

formerly had made dress pants exclusively had now extended into denim.
The Attic carries seven brands of jeans, which range in price from $1 to $25. All of them are made in France.
The Attic had experience no problems in getting their stock, although prices for fall jeans, purchased in April, had risen slightly, she said. She said her store was going to buy now for spring, but she didn't expect a price increase in the near future.
Al Hack, manager of the University Shop, said the prices of jeans had increased in the past two years because of the prewash process and because the new jeans contained as much workmanship as many dress pants.
Prewashed jeans, he said, are treated with chemicals that cause them to fade and shrink. Most companies added an additional coat of prewashed jeans to pay for the process.
Hack said his store carried four brands of prewash jeans, which range from $12 to $20.
"There's a lot that you can do with prewash jeans," he said. "It brings a whole category of jeans that can take your places you couldn't go before in jeans."
Temple said she knew of some restaurants and clubs that formerly didn't allow patrons to wear jeans. That is no longer the case. She said that she had seen some jeans outfits on sale in exclusive women's dress stores for as much as $75.
Donna Capshaw, Leavenworth junior,
donna that she barely bought a pair of jeans despite the pains.
"I wear them everywhere," she said. "I used to wear them and on dates, and I didn't used to."
Joanna Miranda, clerk at the Alley Shop.

said that some students had grumbled at the increased cost of jeans, but were willing to pay the higher prices. The durability and versatility of prewash jeans, she said, are the reasons people are willing to pay the higher prices.

Miranda said it was unfair to compare the prices of the jeans they had in stock last year with the prices of jeans currently in stock, because the store had an entirely new stock with no replacement styles. She said that this year's styles were more elaborate than last year's and included decorative pockets, double aijins and rag seams.
She said that she'd heard that some jeans on the East Coast sold for $30, but the Alley Shop didn't carry pants that expensive because students couldn't afford them. Their prewash jeans range in price from $14 to $25.

WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?
Second Psalm and Acts 4:25
(Note: This column first appeared in newspaper circles over 13 years ago. Through the blessing of God, 42 city dailyales and 12 prominent college papers are presently publishing the column. Partial list of cities include Providence, Tacoma, Sacramento, Phoenix, Talahassee, Atlanta and Washington, D.C. College papers are: Princeton, Yale, Vassar, State University of Georgia, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Florida, California at Berkeley, California at Los Angeles, Texas at Austin, and Ohio State University; and now the Universities of Kansas, Washington, Delaware, Denver, and Maryland.)
This question is the first clause of the first sentence of The Second Palm of God Almighty's Book! God Himself is quite an Author! Quite an Editor! Quite a Columnist! He is "King of Kings, Lord of Lords." Where the word of a king is, he is power—The Word of God is quick and powerful—"He spake and the worlds came into existence, including Milky Ways and Galaxies millions of "light years" before our time. We don't need to read His Bible and hear all he has to say, and learn of Him whom to know is Eternal Life? In the Old Testament there are approximately seventen hundred and fifty passages (1750) preached by "Thus saill The Lord," "God spake," or kindred words that indicate God Himself is speaking. But our generation has but little if, any, time for all that talk: "The Ancient of Days is out in His Hand," Mr. Modernis, D.D. "He holds the whole world in His Hand." He holds it in his hand, for instance, a statement regarding the little children: "Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven," some one has observed that after the little children appear on the scene as a "little bundle from heaven," dwell and are in the hands of parents, school teachers, preachers, etc., whose hearts are "decelief all- things, and desperately wicked," and never find it out, that of many of these children after a few years it might truly be said: "Of such is the kingdom of hell and devil!" Where the sinicre feels so feel ashamed and responsible that there are grounds for such an observation?
Yes, God is quite an Author: He used about forty different secretaries over a period of about 1500 years to produce His Book, The Bible, and in the closing words warned men not to meddle with it by taking from, or adding to Martin Luther was given. He told them that they should avoid some of the great of the earth who have raged against The God of the Bible: "Infinite potentates have raged against This Book, and have sought to destroy and uproot it—King Alexander the Great, the princes of Egypt and Babylon; the monarchs of Persia, of Greece, and of Rome, the emperors Julius and Augustus—there remains, and will remain for ever and ever, perfect and entire, as is was declared at first". Take heed Moderntins, New Translators, scorners and scoffers, you too will all soon be gone and vanish, but The Book will remain because God is its Author. Jesus Christ said of it: "The Scriptures cannot be broken." Take courage where there are the mockers?
Consider this Great Author and His Book scribes and writers of various and sundry kinds and assortments, all the way from the preachers preachers, editors, columnists, etc., down to the miserable writers that vomit and puke forth their vile and descend竿 file that corrupts and perverts the sacredness of marriage vows and God ordained sex relations, affecting perversely even the unborn generation—if God permits another one to arrive. (The God of The Bible in ordering the utterance of a word that corrupts and perverts the vows we want would then insinuate them out—maybe our time is near!) There is a definite connection between high grade and low grade scribes mentioned above, in when the "highs" neglect or reject the "wisdom that comes down from above," savor of the things that be of men and not those of God, then the door is gradually opened for the devil to enter with his cohorts and society sink lower and lower. The Great Author says in His Book that every idle word that man speak they shall have to give account of in the day of judgement. Look to yourself! Look at that great stack of stuff on file of your verbal effusions your mind has manufactured for the pupil, for the teacher, for the student, for the reader, for the writer, may be that some writers don't keep a file of their writing, but as soon as they get their check burn the [unk] and laugh at the "suckers." But God it has all on file in your record and He says He will bring every secret thing into judgement, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Don't rage against God and His Moral Law and Ten Commandments like the rebelious in The Second Psalm and get in line for the wrath and curse. Rather go back to the First Psalm, depart from evil counsel, evil ways, the seat of the scornful, and meditate day and night in The Law of The Lord with the prayer that you will come to delight in it. If this never happened would you enjoy heaven even were you to get there? Judging from the way many church members stay away from The House of God it is surely going to be a heavy strain on them to have to "dwell in the House of the Lord forever" if they got the chance.
Here is a suggestion if you are interested in having a vital and successful Christian experience: Consider and meditate on Joshua 1:8, and Daniel 1:8, and Revelation 3:9. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus says to his soul, and point you to the Saviour. Protect to obey Him and stick to your purpose like Ruth did to Naomi (Ruth 1:16 and 17); and like Daniel did to his purpose, and he and his friends gained the victory in the fiery furnace and in the lions den. Then, they went into the wilderness, states, the false prophets, the false preachers, and the devil won't be able to get you.
