Martha Yankey Selected Best-Dressed Coed at KU
Martha Yankey, Wichita freshman, was chosen the best-dressed KU woman in a contest Sunday.
The annual contest is sponsored by the Associated Women Students (AWS) College Fashion Board in conjunction with Glamour magazine.
THE OTHER four finalists in the campus competition were Catherine Eergstrom, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore; Judy Clifford, Mission sophomore; Loretta Marcoux, Havensville junior and Phyllis Schneider; Shawnee Mission freshman.
Women from 21 organized houses participated in the preliminary contest held Sunday, Feb. 17.
As the best-dressed KU woman, Miss Yankey will compete with the best-dressed women from about 100 colleges and universities. The top 10 winners chosen by Glamour
magazine will fly to New York in June for a two-week visit.
SUNDAY'S JUDGING was based on three outfits which the girls modeled — a school outfit, church dress and party dress.
Miss Susan Olson, Topeka senior and acting AWS fashion board president, said.
"THE JUDGES were pleased with the quality of the reports and the suitability of the styles each girl wore.
"I hope all KU women will select clothing suitable to their fashion personalities and avoid current fads unless the fads are complementary to the individual," she said.
Miss Yankey wore a black tweed A-line skirt with a long-sleeved black sweater tucked in at the waist and tied with a narrow black leather tie belt. For her church outfit, she wore a three-piece white knit suit with a light blue paisley scarf tied at the neckline and navy blue accessories.
HER PARTY DRESS was of brown organza over brown taffeta styled with a full gathered skirt and a narrow brown satin belt. Her only jewelry was a single strand of small gold beads and matching earrings.
BEST-DRESSED COED — Miss Martha Yankey, Wichita freshman, was chosen the best-dressed coed.
Contest judges were Mrs. Kala Stroup, assistant Dean of Women and college board sponsor, Miss Karlene Howell, assistant to the Dean of Women, Miss Mareia Myers, Topeka senior, Miss Marilyn Mueller, Houston, Tex., senior, Miss Charla Hood, Arlington Heights, Ill., senior, Jerry Dickson, Newton senior, John Wyant, St. Joseph, Mo., graduate student, and James H. Carr, Carthage, Mo., senior.
KU Man Rebels Against Bouffant Hair
At least one KU man notices when his best girl changes hair styles.
After she came out of the beauty shop proudly displaying a new bouffant hairdo, he went right downtown and bought her a gift.
He got her a three-gallon bucket, a pair of pinking shears, and a can of hair spray. "Now she can do as good a job as the beauty shop," he said.
AWS Activities Set For March
A birthday dinner and a senate election are two coming events on the Associated Women Students (AWS) activity calendar.
The AWS freshman steering committee will sponsor an exchange dinner March 5 for KU freshman women in residence and scholarship halls. The women will be seated at the dinner according to their birthday months.
THE DINNER will be held in Corbin and Gertrude Sellards Pearson halls.
March 6 is the date for preliminary activities in connection with the AWS senate elections. Tests will be given to all women applying for any senate office. The tests will concern the policies, structure and function of AWS.
THE SENATE SLATE will be announced March 8. In the March 14 elections, candidates will be competing for seven offices and seven runner-up positions.
Checks, Prints and Plaids
Long middy tops, tunics and variations of the pulover topping skirts are favored for spring. In colors, navy blue, white and off-white are popular with much of the black-white combination in checks, prints and plaids shown.

"I hope to obtain a master's degree later in some other field, but my main goal right now is getting my husband through college."
Not the wistful a librarian, Mrs. Murphy has seen and done many of the things she reads about. In 1961, the same year she represented Kansas in the Miss Universe contest, she flew to New York where she reigned as Multiple Sclerosis queen and helped to collect funds for the MS hope chest.
BOTH BEAUTY QUEEN and housewife, the slender brunette said she got a degree in philosophy at Washburn University in Topeka "mainly for my own self-improvement."
