Win By KAREN McKIBUEN Fashimn Writer Looking for an effective way to brighten uip and change those winter campus togs while you wait for Spring? Try a scarf! A printed silk scarf tied a new or different way can brighten up the oldest blouse, sweater, or basic dress and give YOU a lift, too. For a perky lift to hide o"r change the neckline of that comfy old sweater try a petal collar.. Petal Collar Fold a 24-inch scarf diagonally, knotting the scarf at the back of the neck, leaving the points in the front. Pull the scarf ends under at the back and around to the front at each side. To make the cat whiskers, fold an 18-inch square on the diagonal into two equal triangles. Tie a knot at the throat, leaving tiny points about two inches long. The "side sweep" is simple to tie, yet a fine accent to any neck line. Fold an 18-inch scarf, en velope style, tie around the neck, and knot on one side, leaving points. C 00 Mid-century Rosette Or for that basic dress a "mid century rosette" can look stun ning on the girl who looks good in her clothes and wears them well. Fold a 24-inch scarf on the Eu---. F.F OR Prepred as or formula batter c Catering Withhi * No. 1 * Mi Member Scarves ter Togs straight to a width of three inches. Tie it in ' slip knot at one side of the neck and fluff out the edges to form a double rosette. ( / Loop Cravat Another jaunty change for a round-neck sweater - the "loop cravat." Fold a 36-inch scarf, envelope style (opposite corners folded to the center, ends over lapping a bit) to a three-inch width. Fold in the center and loop the fold around one hand at the back of the neck. Pull the ends through the fold and tighten. Add a pin if desired. For a bib tie, fold a 24-inch square diagonally. Then fold the wide diagonal side over about three inches. Drape around the neck, leaving the points at the front. Pull the ends around to the front over the points and tie a knot. Bib Tie There are endless ways to wear a scarf: tuek it through a belt or into a pocket or sleeve, tie it as a sash, drape it as a deep front bib or a four-in-hand tie. Pull It through the buttonhole of a suit. And as you experiment and create, remember "if winter comes, can spring be far behind?7" FEATURING.

Make-Up Tip for the co-ed: When apply ing make-uip, a noted fashion authority suggests putting it on 'by a light similar to the one in which you will be appearing. This tends to soften the effect -harshness will be toned down. You will then be aipprofpriately pretty for dancing, candlelight supper, or any special event. ION: C I hour special ci in the flavor.

ALPHA DELTA PI On May 15, 181 at Wesleyan College in Macon, Georgia, Eugenia T.u c k e r Fitzgerald founded what became the oldest social society for women-Alpha Delta PI. On February 4, 1928, blue and white colors, violets and the diamond-shaped badge be came a part of the University of South Carolina in the form of a chapter of ADPI, the only one in this State. At present, AiDPi has 96 chap ters throughout the United States with alumni chapters in Paris, Hawaii and Canada. The Memorial Headquarters Is in Atlanta, Georgia. Between June 24 and June 30, Quebec, Canada will be host to the Alpha Delta Pi's from all over the United States at the National Conven tion. The activities that the sorority participates in each year are their Christmas party for the orphans of the surrounding homes, and the Easter project which might be helping the Jaycees or some other worthwhile activity. Once every two years, they entertain at their Winter formal, which, inci dentally was held this year in December. On March 15 of this year, pledges will be going active and at this time the presentation of the Scholarship aavard will go to (By theAuihor of "I "Barefo POVERTY C It is no disgraoe to be poor.

On Nover&et 25, 1883, the Maltese Cross of AfTO found its way to the Carolina campus. Due to anti-fraternity laws, In 1897 Alpha Tau Omega was closed, but reopened on Do comber 8, 1927. There are presently 118 chap ters in the United States. Some of the surrounding schools with the Maltese Cross are the College of Charleston, .UNC, University of Georgia, Wofford, and Geor gia Tech. Up until 1891, the Military College of South Caro lina had an active chapter. Each year on Mardh 15, the ATO's hold the Founders Day party, as well as the Spring Cos tume party. Every two years, the national fraternity holds their Congress to which bwo members from each fraternity attend.
