Anyone for a game of tennis?
Slashed midiskirts guarantee view of knees this fall
LOS ANGELES (UPI) — Leg watchers can take heart.
Although hems are definitely down, the knees are still clearly visible in the midi-length fall fashions being shown to buyers and the press here this week.
Most of the mid-calf length suits and dresses shown by California designers are slashed to mid-thigh in slits up the back, the center of the front, the side, or on both sides with a swinging front panel.
The leg kicks through in dresses which are in a way more daring, and which the designers say are more elegant than anything women have worn since they began hiking their skirts in the early '60's.
"The new look is definitely a new look for the U.S." said fashion designer William Travilla.
Mr. Blackwell placed a new emphasis on the bosom with plunging necklines.
High fashion designer Cardinali placed the hem at 19 inches from the floor, or just below the knee, for most of her daytime dresses and suits, but said her entire collection could be worn at three different lengths.

Many evening gowns were barebacked or featured crossed straps across the back. There were plunging necklines in front and back, but there were also demure, covered-up evening gowns inspired by "Anne of the Thousand Days" with high collars and long slim sleeves puffed at the top.
Stimulating pastime
Hill tennis harbinger of spring
By LINDA WRIGHT Kansan Staff Writer
When the snow begins to melt and the sun comes out, tennis courts are crowded with students eager to brush up on a rusty serve or backswing.
This spring is no exception with more students than ever flocking to courts to enjoy a stimulating afternoon at the nets.
Many students have taken up the game as an enjoyable way to exercise and a break from the routine of classes.
Mary Westmoreland, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, finds tennis "a fun way to exercise. I'm ready to study after I come in from a few sets of tennis; I've used up all the extra energy that makes me fidgety when I sit down to study."
Several courts are available to students around the Hill. Courts near Robinson Gymnasium and Allen Field House seem to be most popular, with courts by the
stadium and the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority house also used frequently.

Finding an open court sometimes presents problems because of the growing interest in the sport and since most students prefer to play at the same time. Late afternoons and Saturday mornings seem to be most popular.
For those who find campus area courts too crowded, there are several courts in Lawrence city parks. Students without cars, however, find transportation a problem.
Jerry Smutz. Meade sophomore, likes tennis because it's not restricted by age. People of all ages can play together and enjoy themselves.
Securing a tennis partner is no problem, says Tom Slaughter, Salina junior and 10-year veteran of the courts. Just go to a court, Tom says, and there is usually someone hanging around who needs a partner, too.

play with girls who don't play well because he usually ends up chasing tennis balls all afternoon.
Tennis seems to be more popular with KU men than women, as males dominate area courts. Slaughter believes girls aren't really serious about the game, and says they just come to the courts to "mess around" or get some sun.
