Honor group sets standard of excellence
By RUTH ROHRER
Phi Beta Kappa, honor society in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, stands for the highest ideals in life, in the community as well as on campus.
Miss Natalie Calderwood, associate professor of English and a past president of KU's chapter, said, "we encourage members to think of Phi Beta Kappa not just as an award for good grades, but as an academic responsibility and obligation after graduation."
The Phi Beta Kappa key has on it a hand pointing to three stars which symbolize literature, wide learning through the printed word; morality, the ability to make wise judgments and the concern for principles of right and wrong; and friendship, giving of the best of oneself to others," Miss Calderwood said.
The Phi Beta Kappa Council, which is responsible for the election of new members to the organization, is made up of KU faculty who are members of the local chapter.
Election depends entirely upon grade point averages. Miss Calderwood said. Most elected students range between a 2.7 and a 3.0 gpa.
Phi Beta Kappa is primarily an honor society for students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, but the KU chapter also elects students in other schools of the university if they have fulfilled all the scholastic requirements for graduation in the college and have the necessary grade point average.
KU, the only Kansas school that has a chapter, and the first established west of the Mississippi River, last year celebrated the 75th anniversary of its founding with a commemorative banquet.

Fashion trend set by western jeans
By MARTHA LANNING

"I know they're meant for boys, but I want them," is being heard across the nation—girls lean toward the western look with jeans.
Uniquely enough, Kansas sets the pace. They're everywhere; wheat jeans, cord hiphuggers, and stretch denims in paisley prints, stretch patterns, autumn colors of ivy or plum and even sophisticated navy.
Besides being attractive, the material of jeans is extremely practical. Because of their durability they will take a girl from rugged barn parties to casual coke dates. As John Vratil, president of Beta Theta Pi, comments, "There are times when jeans are appropriate. It depends on the situation.
Nothing against them to sand bar parties, but I don't go for the 'old blue jeans' on campus."
Other KU men also seem to be in agreement with the midwestern trend. KU football player, Bob Skahan, "really likes them. They are colorful and certainly unusual."
Of course, as true with any new fashion, jean slacks should be worn with discretion and with the person as well as the occasion in mind. Bill Chambers, second year law student, expressing his views adds, "They look great on the right people."
Fashion-minded KU students quickly catching the smart, western look of jeans have set the trend, and it's one to stay.
