Male reporter turns on with new styles
By JIM CZUPOR Kansan Mild-Mannered Fashion Reporter
Editor's note: Ladies and gentlemen, loyal and unloyal readers of the UDK, we are proud to announce another first in the historic annals of reporting campus events. Thursday afternoon, an unwilling male reporter was dispatched to cover the fast-breaking, details of a women's club fashion show and boy, was he enthusiastic.
He was so enthusiastic, the staff could hardly contain him. He was tackled, and manhandled, (the staff is a little strange at times). He said he didn't want

to do it. "After all," he wailed,
"what will the guys at the weightlifting room think when they see my name on a fashion show study?" But he went.
The show was sponsored by the University Women's Club and the theme was "Shake 'em and Show 'em." Like to know what they had there. Never before have my eyes been so dazzled with such a display of female forms and attire — one of the models had an especially big tire, you see.
Actually, the theme of the show was "Spring and Summer." It was suddenly changed from the "Fall and Winter" theme due to unseasonably high temperatures. The theme illustrated the latest in fashions and the latest in hemline lengths.

"Hemlines are a do-your-own-
thing this year," the commentator
cooed. As the models went
through their positions, the
audience buzzed with questions.
One of the members was over-
heard to ask, "What's coming
off here?"
While hemlines are fluctuating up and down this season, bodies are remaining constant. Ponches and Fants, a new Vaudeville team, were the highlight of the show, demonstrating their versatility.
"The short look is still prevalent," she said, as two midget models appeared in maxis.
The thrill of seven models parading around with plastic smiles and elastic bodies was almost more than I could take. It never ceases to amaze me that normal everyday women would even think of wearing some of the gaudy, expensive outfits displayed at the show. Whatever happened to mukluks, long homemade dresses with gussets and whalebone? And the poor emaciated girls wearing those obnoxious flower fashions should be placed on some sort of organized meal program so they can get some meat on their bones, or wherever else necessary.
All in all, the Kansas Union Watkins Room, filled with exciting piped in music, was the setting for an exciting afternoon. Cookies and coffee were served, and a good time was had by all. Except the reporter that is, he just had coffee and cookies.
