The Varie Steps Into By MELVIN BYARS Special Writer The popularity of the blazer is being renewed once more but in different versions. It seems there is something both casual and dressy about the blazer. It deserves as re spected a place in the closet as the ivy does on the campus walls. The blazer does not necessarily fall into the navy-blue-with brass-bittons category. It is seen in stiped heavy cotton, India ma dras (for summer), et al. The Unique There is one particularly note worthy interpretation by a tour ing firm from New York, a med ium grey flannel blazer with black quarter-inch silk piping on the front (collar, lapels and breast) including red and black striped lining and silver but tons-a unique all-purpose coat. The double breasted navy blaz er with four buttons, a style bor q..t ~ . . .. . f4 j 0i rowed from the Brittons, is being wor n by the more conservative. Versatile Sport Coats Sport coats have more numer ous variations every year. One that appeared some seasons back is the four-button jacket with Kappa Sigma Elects Slate' Of Officers Kappa Sigma social fraternity has announced .iewly elected of ficers for the fall serntser.

FO)R SALE CEDAR CIA)SET - 2 years old - '.4XN LANNIGAN d Blazer Spotlight cuffs on the sleeves (Edwardian influence). An especially interesting sport coat is the one solely created to wear with walking shorts. It is made exactly like a natural shoul dered, single breatsted jacket ex cept that the length is shortened until half the shorts appear. This leaves room for only one button instead of three. Tradition to Functionality Concerning the number of but tons and the variation of unpad ed Jackets, some look at the situ ation this way: "I only button the top two of the three buttons. Why not omit the bottom one and cut the coat away slightly?" or "I wear only the middle button fastened. Why not leave the oth er two off the coat?" Some of the manufacturers have done just this, striving for functionality. Incidentally the one button jacket does not make it "jivy ivy" or anything of the like; this reno vation gets "traditionally styled" clothing out of a rut. The em bryonic American - continental model is affecting quite a change in coats which helps create a suave appearance for its wearer. The horsier set has influenced sport coats lately via the hack ing jacket with its double vents and slanting pockets. FABRICS As for fabrics a wide range is seen; homespun tweeds and tweeds of all sorts, corduroy, heavy poplin and luxury cloth like cashmere and camel's hair. You can even get jackets with patches already on the elbows. Inside Story Linings are becoming more no ticable. Tie print material (most ly rayon, not silk) is used in both paisley and stripes. One un usual departure is the use of wool challis as a lining fabric -warm and different. Even though suits are getting more popular than ever they will never quite replace the sport coat. Just as there is nothing like a dame neither is there any thing like a sport coat, both be ing incomparable in different ways of course.

IVY LEAGU By Jantzen Columbia's Lea FINE ME COPERA Sororities, Fraternities Plan Events The social season of sororities and fraternities offers many vari ous functions which the students await annually with anticipation. Drop-ins to large formals help the students forget their class schedule and aid them in making a world of fun and frolic. Derby Day "Derby Day," sposored an nually by SigmA Chi, is the most widely attended of all campus funotions. Pie eating, sack, tire rolling and wheelbarrow contests are some of the events which sorority girls particapte in. "Miss Venus" contest for the girl with the most shapely figure is always an added attraction. Singing "Dixie" and bedecked in ante-bellum costumes, the Kappa Alphas revive the days of the past at their "Old South" festivities. The southern belles and their gentlemen march to the State House where the Seces sion Ceremonies of 1861 are re enacted. Competition Competition runs high at the Sigma Nu's Bowery Ball. Ar rayed in various get-ups the con testants vie for the title of "Bow ery King and Queen." The coronation of "Crescent Girl" at the Parisian Ball high lights Lambda Chi's fall season. She is presented with a white gold pin and a bouquet of white tudor roses. Many fraternities and sorori ties have masquerade parties dur ing the year. Trying to guess who is behind the mask always adds to intrigue those in atten dance. Pi Kappa Alpha and Pi Kappa Phi have annual dances at which they announce their dream girl and Rose, respectively. Pika has a "Dream Girl" ball and the Pi Kapps, a "Rose" ball. Founditig Celebrated Many sororities and fraternities have Founders Day Balls as their large function of the season. Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Phi Epsilon and Chi Psi are a few of the fraternities that celebrate this occasion. All these and many other func tions provide a full and varied social calendar at Carolina.

Frederic Dannay Leaves Mystery Novel Partner One-half of Ellery Queen is now in Austin, Texas, while the other half remains in Connecticut. Nearly everyone knows that El lery Queen is Frederic Dannay and Manfred Lee, so there's no mystery about this cleavage. Mr. Dannay has joined the fac ulty of the University of Texas as a Visiting Professor for the fall-winter semester. He will give two courses in creative writing, one for undergraduates and one for students of the extension school.

The hand-knit, bulky look is quite popular and promises to be more so as the winter grows. In a variety of materials--fre quently in blends of two or more, the worsteds achieve personality and distinction in br1liant new hues and a variety of textures. All of these combine with new silhouettes to create new and exciting dimensions in the, ward robe. Color Notes The bulky crew neck styles which gained popularity in men's clothes seem to have started this present burst of popularity in knit-wear. The last few seasons have seen the blossoming of the gray, biege, and heather-tones in to a vivid range of colors cued to suit any wardrobe. From palest tints to richest shades, color keynotes cam-pus wear in combining plaids and solids, dyed-to-match ensembles, or in brilliant contrasts. Durability Wool, as the long-time favorite, combined with such synthetics as OrIon, Nylon, and Dacron to in crease the life and decrease the care of swveaters. More recently, however, it has joined forces with mohair, muscrat, lambswool, al paca andI angora to create the so called "fur blends." Many of these bear a striking resemblance to cashmere, and have the added advantage of cost ing much less and being easier to care for. The versatility of these materials is manifested in such surface interest a soft, shaggy look. Bulky Design The rapid acceptance of bulky sweaters seems to have given de signers a boost; it is hard to conceive of a shape or style not represented.

Day and Evening Not only has the knitted look taken over in the sportswear world, but in dresses they have achieved great heights. Lending well to such styles as the chemise and blouson, knits are seen in daytime and evening wear. The finger-tip or full length coat is also knitted, often com bining as an ensemble. With the addition of synthetics, woolens have become easier to pack and care for and will very probably show up next in-who knows what form?

When Pancho Sigafoos, sophomore, pale and sensitive, first saw Willa Ludowic, freshman, lithe as a hasel wand and rosy as the dawn, he hemmed not; neither did he haw. "I adore you," he said without preliminary. "Thanks, hey," said Willa, flinging her apron over her face modestly. "What position do you play?" "Position?" said Pancho, looking at her askanoe. (The askance is a ligament just behind the ear.) "On the football team," said Wills. "Football I" sneered Pancho, his young lip ourling. "Football is and vce,andviolene is the dea tfhe mind. I am not a football player. I am a poet " "So long, buster," said Willa. "Waitl" cried Pancho, clutching her damask forearm. 8he placed a foot on his pelvis and wrenched herself free. "I only go with football players," she maid, and walked, shimmer ing, into the gathering dusk.
