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.

Sport coats have more numer

that appeared some seasons back
is the four-button jacket with

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.

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.

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

NEW MATERIALS ]
Knitwear k
New Versa
By HARRIET OLARE SINKLER
Special Writer
Pull out the knitting nee4les
and get in style. 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. Cowvl collars, patch
pockets, fringed sleeves, to men
tion a few, are characteristic of

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?

ANYONE FOR FOOTBALL?
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.
