City lifestyle meets laid-back Lawrence
cool at Urban Outfitters, the Massachusetts
Street store students
voted as best mens and
womens clothing in this
years Top of the Hill
contest.
Student employee
Rachel Helling, Lenexa
junior, said she was not
surprised at the outcome
of the contest.
This is the go-to place
for clothes in Lawrence,
Helling said.
The friendly environ-
ment of the store not only makes for a fun
place to work, Helling said, but it also draws
students in. This shopping experience where
students are among their well-dressed peers
makes the store more inviting; and for those
students who are intimidated by the over-
whelming options in plaid, penny-loafers
and ruffled pea coats, theres a feeling to put
them to ease.
While Urban Outfitters won the contest
for providing students
with trendy clothing,
store employee and stu-
dent Melanie McCoy,
Fort Scott senior, said
that even if some stu-
dents arent quite
sold on what Urban
Outfitters has to offer
in terms of slim trousers
and high-hemmed mini
dresses, the store had
other wares that may be
appealing.
We have a little bit of everything. If you
dont like our clothing, you can buy a flask or
a funny gag-gift, she said.
Both Helling and McCoy agreed that
working at Urban Outfitters had its perks
because of the discount, which was extreme-
ly beneficial to those students with an urge
to be ahead of the curve in fashion, but who
still felt the strain of college expenses.
Business manager Alessandra McCoy said
that the target customers of Urban Outfitters
were definitely students. She said that the
store not only appealed to students because
of what it housed, but also because of the in-
store experience it gave to students.
We offer a very unique product and its a
great atmosphere. People like to come in and
shop here just because its fun, she said.
Urban Outfitters displays trappings that
promote an urban, modern lifestyle. The
store offers clothing, shoes, accessories,
housewares, books and music all within that
realm of unique modernity. McCoy said
this unique and metropolitan approach to
shopping and dressing is what made Urban
Outfitters so popular among students.
Bringing trends from high-fashion and
a grittier, big-city aesthetic to Lawrence is
another aspect McCoy said was a reason stu-
dents prefer Urban Outfitters to other stores
when on the lookout to satiate their sartorial
appetites.
We bring new ideas. Were not really a
city, but a lot of the things we present here
come from an urban ideal, she said.
According to McCoy, Urban Outfitters is
not only for one certain type of student with
specific tastes.
We just have a very diverse type of
product, and it brings a little fashion to
Lawrence.
140 votes were cast in the mens category
of the contest. Urban Outfitters received 22
of those votes, taking first place. The Buckle
came in second place and American Eagle
received third place. On the womens side
of the contest, 122 people voted. Urban
Outfitters grabbed the first place spot with
38 votes. Kieus placed second and Kohls
took third.

Fans joining in the rush to buy memo-
rabilia and spirit wear at the KU Bookstore
afer football games arent just supporting
the team, theyre supporting student-run
organizations, too.
All of the proceeds of the KU Bookstore
in the Kansas Union go to student-run
organizations. Tis is possible because the
University owns the store, but it is operated
as if it were a non-proft organization.
Noel Montelongo, Dodge City senior,
has worked at the KU Bookstore since July
2008. He said he had experienced frsthand
the chaos of game day.
Its like customer afer customer. Its
crazy, Montelongo said. We have a lot of
complainers because we arent supposed to
give discounts on sale items.
Te store sells textbooks and clothing
and has a tech shop, an Apple store and
the shipping or catalogue department. Each
section of the store functions as a unit, but
they work together.
Customers sometimes avoid the textbook
wing of the store to fock to the clothes. Te
clothing department sells basketball and
football jerseys and other spirt wear.
Its pretty steady. Normally during rush
week and the frst few weeks of school we
have a lot of people buying their books,
Megan Lutes, Topeka freshman and book-
store employee, said. During fnals people
come to buyback their books.
Students can also order textbooks online
and have them shipped to their homes. Te
catalogue department handles processing,
shipping and carrying out the orders.
We take the online orders, the phone
orders and ship them out. Its mainly over
the phone they call and place them, Ross
Wildin, Hutchinson junior and bookstore
employee, said. You get some interesting
people who will call and give you their life
story.
Te online store sells textbooks, hats,
shorts, short- and long-sleeved T-shirts,
polos, outerwear, toys and even a KU chip
and dip set. Afer major events related to
the University, such as the 2008 Orange
Bowl and National Championship, people
ordered team memorabilia in a frenzy.
We still ship out Orange Bowl and
National Championship; we have the Daily
Kansan posters from the Orange Bowl and
the National Championship, Wildin said.
Te bookstore is useful for more than
buying textbooks that cost your lef leg. It
instead gives a slice of KU to visiting cus-
tomers and helps support student organiza-
tions.

Love Garden Sounds was voted
Lawrences best music store in this years
Top of the Hill poll.
Kelly Corcoran,
co-owner of Love
Garden Sounds, 936
1/2 Massachusetts St.,
said he was honored
but not surprised by
the award.
Im glad people like
our store, Corcoran
said. Its good to have
the affirmation that we
are doing a good job
because we go to great
lengths to make it that
way.
Alison King, Lawrence junior, said that
her first impression of the store was that it
was very comfortable and well organized
with a wide variety of specialty vinyl and
posters.
They have cats, King said.
Three cats live in the store: Sam,
Mickey-Roy and Ernie.
Its a cool place with a good vibe,
Pat Dobson, Kirkwood, Mo., sophomore,
said.
The wide variety of music and reasonable
prices attract University students to Love
Garden Sounds.
Stuart Reynolds, Lenexa senior, said
he enjoyed sorting through the different
music and trying to find something he
liked.
Its like finding a diamond in the
rough, Reynolds said.
People are looking
for all different types of
things when they visit
Love Garden Sounds,
Corcoran said.
More and more
people are looking
for specific records
and genre classics
but mostly just good
music, he said.
Corcoran said his
store was better than its
competitors because it
offered quick special orders, an informed
staff and vinyl records. Unlike many music
stores, customers can listen to anything
before buying it.
Corcoran said that he wanted Love
Garden Sounds to be a place where people
could talk about music.
Hastings and Best Buy ranked at second
and third in the poll.
