Boots March Through Winter In Style
As chill winds sweep the very last traces of Fall from the campus, Winter accessories are beginning to bloom at KU.
One of these is the indispensable boot. Ranging from mid-ankle to over-the-knee, leather and simulated leather boots have become synonymous with Winter at KU. As the hills of Oread become plated with ice, pity the person without them.
KU Student Turns Cowboy For Research
Cowboy life is not actually the glamorous life we see on T.V. western shows, according to Robert Burrill, Chevy Chase, Md., graduate student.
Burrill, who is writing a doctorate dissertation on ranching, spent last summer as a cowboy on a ranch in Osage County, Oklahoma. He wanted some first hand experience to add to his research work.
"It WAS FUN being a cowboy for a while, but cowboys are a wild lot," Burrill said. "Cowboys live a life of violence in roping and driving cattle. Continuously they guard against stampedes."
The adventurous T.V. life of cowboys is not true to life.
ORIGINALLY STYLED strictly as snow boots, the new boots now have such features as stacked heels, the Courreggs look, and imprinted reptilian patterns.
The boot that shoesmakers and shoe salesmen say is the favorite of most KU women is the leather or suede stovepipe boot which comes almost to the knee. The materials it is made of range from suede to elkskin and kid to simulated patent leather, in reality, durable rubber (Eskilloos).
These boots are priced from $13 to $20 and up; the suede wear everywhere is about $15. As the leather becomes more exotic, the price becomes correspondingly rare.
Unique features include rabbit fur linings, or quilted wool linings, back or side zippers, and ornamental buckles that do not approach the clanking hinges of the infamous galoshes of not too long ago.
THE BOOTS ARE just as popular with other age groups as

with the college set. The younger teenagers especially like the white Courreges-look boots with short tops and small heels. White is also the newest color in stovepipe styles.
Older women seem to prefer the shorter-topped, pointed-toed styles. One sell-out item for career and older women has been the small and dainty boot with short heels and fur around the top of the boot.
Right after Thanksgiving, the rush is on at local shoe stores for boots.
One of the managers of a local shoe store in Lawrence said that last year his men brought all the boots in the store out of the back room and put them on the floor in the main shop because the demand was so great. If a girl saw that another decided not to buy a certain pair, she rushed over to try them on, he said.
Folk Singing Tonight A Hoot-N-Hollar will be held in the living room of Ellsworth Hall tonight from 6-7. It is sponsored by the Association of University Residence Halls..
THE BOOTS are light, water-repellent, and come in several neutral and easily-matched colors such as beige, whites, black, tobacco brown, and a dark, loden green color.
