THE JAYHAWKER Campus clothes CLOTHES this fall are probably a sur- prise in some ways to most of us. At least, to yours truly at the Varsity this evening, the preponderance of dark and plain double-breasteds was very evident. Not that the plain double-breasted suit isn ' t the dressiest thing possible. Rather, though, with all of the smart sharkskins, British stripes and herringbones and diagonals that are being shown this sea- son, and being worn in the smarter places, they seem sort of drab. With the swing to double-breasted models and relegation of sports backs to the background until spring, of course, the first mention of double-breasteds immedi- ately calls attention to the smart Duke of Kent models, with their soft, long roll lapels, buttoning the bottom button. Bill Smiley of Kappa Sigma, and George Wright, the Phi Delt Student Council vice-president, are wearing this model in a grey British stripe, soft worsted fabric that are plenty smart numbers. Both carry, of course, side vents. Orchids to Stew Landrum of Phi Psi, who is the first we have seen wearing the model, which is going to bid for a lot of popularity this season, namely, a plain, three-button, single-breasted model with center vent. Stew ' s is in a blue and black mixture with a large herringbone weave. Chalk stripes of course, along with British stripes, are quite the thing. Chuck Lueck of Kappa Sig has chosen one, in the three-button single-breasted model in brown. by HIM Ye editor, Johnnie Chandler pre- fers a diagonal weave, in blue, unfinished worsted. Of course it ' s the Duke of Kent model with side vents and everything. Over at the Delt house the Kent model seems to be the reigning favorite also, Le Roy Bacon choosing a black sharkskin model, and there are several more mighty smart looking ones, too. Naturally, mention of the Kent model suit calls attention to shirts with wide- spread collars, named after the same gentlemen. And we might mention that early last spring this column gave con- siderable of a plug to this shirt. It ' s here and is being seen a lot on the campus. Other soft collars include those wide- spread button downs which are receiving much attention. The acceptance of raglan sleeve top- coats will be big, especially in models designed to be worn without a belt. As a suggestion, take a look at the single- breasted Balmaccan model worn by Don Dieter, Sigma Chi pledge. It ' s brown with a small check. Dick Mason, a chap who nearly always wears brown, and what ' s more, can wear it well, has chosen this same model in a rich brown, Alpaca fabric coat, with a small check. Bob Mor- ton down at Beta Haven has a double- breasted raglan sleeve model with belt all around and two pleats in the back, which he wears with a Kent roll suit of an oxford grey background and a sort of distinct plaid. A survey of the hat situation shows the overwelming popularity of the modi- fied alpine models. Those narrow snap brims are well liked. If one chooses to be more dressy there are the bound brims, in snap models which are following close upon the Homburgs. This hat is going over in a big way and we ' re going to see plenty of them this year. Now, getting down to the sox wool and wool mixtures are the best for all but dress wear, in stripes, Argyle plaids, and checks. What ' s more the sharper the color contrasts, the better they ' re liked. In sport shoes, keep an eye on the monk strap, brown suede or buckskin models which we advocated last spring. This fall, however, they are turning to the leather sole in this shoe. Brown in dress shoes is easily the leading color, being popular and correct with blues and (Continued on page 10) The professor is conduct- ing a lecture on the added value and smarter styling of Ober clothes.

OCTOBER, 1935 ft PERHAPS this little incident may make clear to some of you why so many of the boys are partial to the lodge of Pi Beta Phi. One morning not so long ago, a group of fellows were returning from a fishing trip and as the fish had been rather scarce, the disciples of Izaak Walton hied themselves into the DeLuxe cafe for a six o ' clock breakfast. No sooner had they seated themselves when in walked another party, not a fishing party this time, but a party of four, one of whom was a stunning blonde Pi Phi who hails within strik- ing distance of the air capital of the world. She was escorted by a tall dark Sig Alph, and well . . . Now freshmen, you will probably realize in a short time many of the advantages that are to be found here in Kansas. Brown ' s Grove on the south, Topeka on the west, State Lake to the north, Kansas City to the east, and last but not least, the Pi Phi house right here on our own beautiful campus. I wonder if I have left anything unsaid? If it wasn ' t for the fact that Charrie Hay, town girl and Kappa pledge, not without Kappa connections, just won ' t keep quiet for a little while and let someone else make a few of the mistakes, her name would positively not appear in print in this column. But good enough cannot be let alone and day by day, Miss Hay is making some kind of a name for herself. It is just the little things such as the little episode following that has made the name of Hay-Hay a college by-word. A few days ago, Sewell Black, Sig pledge, was engaged in conversation with the little girl with the bedroom eyes, when she happened to remark that she had danced the night before with a very dark boy whom she thought to be a Sigma Chi. Naturally, she wanted to know his name. Black, after a long list of names, suggested the name of Fred Taylor, who happens to be a colored Sigma Chi houseman, and much to his surprise found that Fred was the boy. Charrie admitted that she hadn ' t had any dates with him personally, but insisted that several of the other Kappas had, and they all thought he was the ce u test thing. At the date of this writing, Charrie has 17 demerits with only 8 to go before she is ineligible for initiation and has lost only four pledge pins. No doubt she will have to do quite a few little odd jobs around the house be- fore she will be seen sporting one of those pearl studded keys. Dick Hurry Cane from Bartlesville has be- come very Beta conscious during his few short weeks of pledgeship and has proved to be a rather embarrassing factor in the life of a certain Kappa pledge. It ' s an old Beta custom that the pledges of said lodge hold themselves aloof from the common herd, girls included, until they have instilled within themselves that quality which forever marks the wearers of the diamond as a typical Beta. Dick, however, is one of the few to have become aloof enough to coolly remark to a good-looking Kappa that she had best walk on alone as he doesn ' t want to be seen walking with her. Caution ! Dick, George Lemon tried that stunt a few years ago, and you can see where it got him. To the man who can get an invitation to a free night ' s lodging in the Theta house should come a good round of applause. For many moons and for many men, it has been but a dream; but to Jack Sleeper, Fiji of the old night school, it is now a reality. Coming in late one night after a date with Tance Burrow, Jack found himself without a place to rest his aching head. (This was before rush week and the majority of houses were as yet unopened.) Seeing the Burrow car unlocked and unoccupied, he settled there without further search for a cozy place to snooze. A short time after, the Thetas were awakened by a steady blast of the Burrow horn and rushed out to de- termine the source of the commotion. There they found poor Jack, sleeping peacefully with his head on the horn button. The Thetas, being a tender-hearted crew of lasses, sought permission from Mrs. Kay to house the weary boy for the night. And that, my friends, is how Jack Sleeper spent the night, unmolested and safe from harm, on a davenport in the Theta front room. (Continued on page 69) by RIP VAN WINCHELL

OCTOBER, 1935 WEAVER ' S I Feminine fashions doing the dramatic after dark The draped theme makes ths most exciting evening fashions imaginable. In the Persian man- ner ... in the Grecian manner ... in the Harem mannas . . . side drapes, and back drapes both high and low . . . whatever it is . . . yon can now sweep forth regally to conquest. by HER RUSH WEEK ! That hectic, back-biting time of the year when all new fresh- men make their first impression, and sorority members vie with one another for the best class. Of course, clothes are one of the important features of a rushee. If she is attired in the latest styles, her chances are excellent not that one is judged purely on her clothes, of course, but they do help immensely. Certainly this year ' s crop can be rightly termed as well-dressed girls and many of the upper-classmen may be included in this group. Fur trim is as popular this year as it always has been. Ermine is an outstand- ing accessory, both on afternoon and eve- ning clothes. At one of the rush teas, Lorraine Luther, Pi Phi pledge, was seen wearing a smart black dress, trimmed with a white fur collar. A very tricky feature of the outfit was a white fur muff, matching the collar. Alexia Marks, pledge of Kappa, wore a dinner dress of black velvet, with a white fur collar which fell in loose folds about her neck. A cor- sage of gardenias looked stunning on it. For sport this season, plaid and plain wools seem to be the thing. Dorothy Fritz, new Theta pledge, wears to school a black, gray, and green plaid wool skirt and a gray woolly sweater, with an Ascot tie matching the skirt. Gertrude Field, of Pi Phi, dons a shirt waist dress of bright green wool for school. The three-cornered neckerchief is of red and green printed silk, resembling a paisley print. Suits play an important part in every coed ' s wardrobe this fall. Fur-trimmed suits especially are being shown for dress occasions, while the good old tailored suit still is appropriate for school pur- poses. Frances Karlan, Gamma Phi pledge, wore during rush week, a rust- colored tweed suit with huge, loose fur cuffs. With it she wore brown accessories. And have you seen Martha Davis, of Theta fame, in her latest ? It ' s one of the season ' s smartest outfits a blue and brown checked wool dress, very tailored, with a brown three-quarter length swag- ger coat. It ' s really the last word in sport fashion. Rachael Kiene, blonde Pi Phi, wore to the Pow-Wow a tailored suit of gray checked wool. The patch pockets on the coat, which is full length, were an interesting note. Cornelia Ann Miller, Gamma Phi pledge, sports a suit of brown flecked with white. The jacket is short, with it is worn a narrow brown patent leather belt. A bright orange sweater completes the outfit. Full and shorter skirts are the keynote of fashion in afternoon attire. Kid trim of gold and silver is seen every- where, especially among the college girls. Bertha White, Gamma Phi, wears a brown dress trimmed with gold kid belt and collar, as does Ruth Patterson, Kappa pledge. Ruth ' s dress, however, is of black crepe, with gold kid piping around the collar and down the front. Also for after- noon clothes velveteen is a serviceable material. Margaret Pyle, Pi Phi, was spotted at the opening varsity wearing a black velvet tunic dress, leaning toward the Russian mode. Helen Deere, of Kap- pa, wears one similar to it, in a rich red velvet, high at the neck. A stunning formal of turquoise velvet is worn by Ida Griffith, Pi Phi pledge. Her California tan sets it off very at- tractively. Patricia Owens, new Chi Omega pledge, fashions a bright blue crepe formal, with a high neck and white pique bow tie. As an example of sheer trimness, notice Jeanette Jenkins ' black crepe monk-style formal. It was her choice for the Pi Phi open house. Winter coats have not come into their own as yet, but soon they will be an important feature of this column. One of the smartest seen so far is worn by Cath- erine Dunkel, Alpha Chi. Brown tweed is the material, with a large raccoon fur (Continued on page 64)
