Move over ladies, senior Stanley Garlington from Shawnee and junior Benjamin Martin from Olathe are stealing the fashion spotlight at the University. These perfectly styled students have given female Jayhawks a run for their money, Garlington and Martin had both caught my fashion eye on campus for quite a while, and it was about time I had gotten the inside scoop behind their impeccable taste.
Martin gets his fashion inspiration from the '50s, and I can't blame him. The decade's retro and uniform looks in dark blues and grays are forever classic. Even Martin's hair is inspired by this fashionably celebrated time.
"It's kind of a take on a '50s haircut but a little more modernized," Martin said. Modernizing a historic look is one of many great tactics to display your fashion knowledge. As for Martin's overall style, he leans toward mixing it up.
"I tend to go with New England professor mixed with blue-collared worker," Martin said. "Some days I put on a tweed jacket and tie and other days just a flannel shirt and dark jeans." A deep-thinking, well-dressed, historically appreciative college student? Professors and fashion enthusiasts are applauding everywhere.
Garlington gets his style inspiration
from a previous time period as well.
"I hate to say it, but I really love the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," Garlington said. "I really like what Carlton wears, and I like to put a lot of colors in my clothes."
Garlington further described his style as "urban prep," and he looks to Kanye West for fashion inspiration as well. The Shawnee senior also has good tips on how to pull off the bright colors that were ever-present in the '90s.
"Usually I try to off-balance it with khaki or something because you don't want to go with too many colors," Garlington said. "I started with the socks, and then worked from there."
Digging Garlingen's neon foot-wear? Try Rob Kardashian's new sock line, Arthur George, which is now available at Neiman Marcus stores.
Though these two fashionistas have varying styles, they're both working their own styles impressively. Men of Kansas, if you're experiencing closet trouble, take Garlington and Martin's leads and look to fashion history for current day-to-day wear. Getting inspiration from previous decades and applying a modernized spin will get you ahead of the fashion game and have you catching eyes campus-wide.

student from Overland Park, there are many factors that make trivia nights appealing.
"There's good beer specials, you can watch the game, and multitask with the trivia," he said.
Although they've come close, they have yet to be completely successful. Habrock said they often "end up on the fringe of placing." He said sixth place is typical for them, which is what the team ended up with on Thursday.
"We just want to win," said Sydney, a fifth-year senior from Green Bay, Wis. "We haven't won yet. We've come really close."
Topics for trivia can cover a wide range, from politics to sports to pop culture, both present and past. Habrock and Sydney attribute their losing record to an age disadvantage.
"The most obscure question that I can remember was about a '70s soap opera," Habbrock said. "Needless to say we got that one wrong. All of the TV questions that deal with shows in the '70s we are sure to miss."
Competition between teams can be stiff at trivia nights, but for most it all in good fun. Recently, however, the level of competition has been a bit higher. The Brewery is part of the Heartland Trivia League, a group of restaurants and
"The hardest question topic is probably old television shows, because nobody in our group was around to watch them," Sydney said.

Quinton's Bar & Deli, Biggs BBQ, Dempsey's Burger Pub and Wayne & Larry's are among the League's Lawrence locations. Qualifying started Nov. 1 and ends Jan. 31. The top five teams from each location get to advance to the semifinal round.
Applebees's trivia night is also among the favorites in the Lawrence trivia scene. Ryan Dixon, the general manager of the Applebee's at 3900 W. Sixth St., started trivia nights in March and said he usually sees about 40 college students come to compete on a typical

Friday night.
"We were trying to build our late-night business and do something fun, something we could attract customers with," he said.
"It's a laid-back, good location with good drink specials and good food specials," Dixon said.
In addition to half-price appetizers and two-for-one happy hour specials, trivia night contenders have the chance to win up to $30 in Applebee's gift cards.
