KU summer fashions feature umbrellas
Any attempt to briefly sum up "fashion" on the KU campus this summer would be futile.
Students, Campers and faculty are assembled from every state in the union, most for only a few weeks or months, and are therefore not attempting to shed their native dress.
Umbrellas are currently an accessory and necessity. Black, usually about four feet in diameter, they represent the only uniformity to be found.
If you are a guy and a mid-westerner, your uniform probably includes a short-sleeved shirt (tail out), cut off levis, sneakers and an absence of socks.
If you are from the West Coast, literally or emotionally, you are most likely seen tripping around campus in an old shirt tucked in and grubby bluejeans from which protrude your sandaled feet, defying KU's air of summer apathy.
The females, of course, head the fashion news. From campus grubs and California beach wear to Fifth Avenue chic, the fashion gamut is run. The only point of agreement seems to be the wearing of sandals. Women's footwear this summer is almost invariably anti-shoc. A month ago there existed a wide gulf in sandal styles. Now, however, after many rainstorms, mud bogs, rocky miles and limited-stock Lawrence shoe stores, uniformity has taken a firm hold.
"I've given up worrying about what to put on in the morning. Here, everyone dresses strangely and criticizes his neighbors for their weird clothes." This statement from one student about covers "fashion" as it exists on the KU campus this summer.

Unique plan aids college
By EMIKO YANO Summer Kansan Reporter
The University of Kansas has grown considerably in the last decade. To accommodate the rising student population, the Colleges-within-the-College program was inaugurated in 1965.
Every year, about 5.000 freshmen and sophomores enter the College without attachments in any one field of study. In order to give the students a more personal contact with the College, administrative reorganization had to be arranged. This is the basic function of the College-within-the-College program.
All freshmen and sophomores in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences are assigned to one of five separate colleges, according to the living group they have chosen.
The administration of each "college" is made up of representatives from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the offices of the Dean of Men, Dean of Women and the registrar.
In Fall 1966, Centennial College began as a pilot program. For the project 450 freshmen men and women were placed in two residence halls and in similar classes.
The main goal was to "bridge the gap between the student's academic and social lives and to provide an administrative center where all questions—academic, social, personal—could receive individual attention."
The curriculum of the five Colleges-within-the-College goes beyond the classroom work, Social and extra-curricular activities have been set up, because, as Dean Jerry Lewis, Executive Director of the program, believes, "Education doesn't stop at 50 minute classes."
