Topless fad hits new lows
KU students looking forward to a summer of travel must console themselves until the end of the semester by taking their trips via foreign footwear.
Sandals are a popular shoe again this year, and they come in all shapes, sizes and colors. The Greeks and Romans seem to have done a lot to influence the fashion in this department, as the sandals pictured bottom left bring back memories of the midnight rides of Julius Caesar.
The tire-soled sandals from old Mexico in the lower right corner are not only eye-catching, but they give their owner 20,000 miles worth of wear.
The ankle-high sandals, upper left, don't really seem to be from any specific foreign country, but rather look like a double-cross between the old Roman style and the more modern sandal pictured in the center of the page.
The Dutch are getting their spiel in with the clogs in the upper right corner which are more or less leather versions of the old wooden shoes.
But of course there's just no topping that real back-to-nature look pictured top center. There's nothing like the feel of cool grass beneath bare feet to remind coeds that spring has sprung.
