The fashions are as changing as the scoreboards of the numerous traditional football games in Carolina Stadium. In the realm of fashion many changes have been noted over the passing years of the series -of Big Thursday games. To illus trate these changes, the fashion styles of the Big Thursday games of the past are reviewed here. In the beginning of this great clash of foes, in 1896, bustle-clad women daintily. - cheered their teams on to victory . . . by pay ing more attention to each others' clothes than to the game. (Just as is done today!) The lady in the sketch for this period is dressed in the typical fashion of the lay . . . to cheer Carolina to victory in the first game. "Flappers" In the 1910's the ladies dar ingly showed ankles, demurely clad, of course, in thick black, cotton stockings. During the wild 20's "t h a t horrible younger generation" actually showed their knees! There was nothing demure about these young ladies, the wildest of whom were known as "flap pers." The representative of this era, shown in the sketch, seems quite confident of a Carolina victory. Hemlines Drop Every action must have a re action. The reaction to the "flap pers" was an increasing aware ness of the riles of plropriety. T h e hemlines approlriately d ropped . . . (THuD!) Columnist's Where, And By )AVE 1LEI)SOE There comes a time in the life of every writer when he can no longer think of a subject. The paper returns his blank stare, and the typewriter keys spell out pure malevolence. Controversy or sex, that's the life blood of a writer . . . both stir interest. However, the edi tor frowns on the latter--at least in print, and the powers-that be have a vathological sensitivity to the former. By the time you circumvent both, the issue is a. hot as Slater House coffee, and about as appealing. Certainly there are issues thai .need discussing; the world is ful o,f unused soap boxes.

However, World War I- came along, bringing with it a scarity of fabric and a new outlook in the fashion world. The*attractive uniforms of the women in the armed services were in many cases copied for civilians. Efficient Look The clothes of this time show a tall, willowy, wide-shouldered look. These clothes had a smart and efficient look about them, as (lid the women who wore them. In the early 50's, the wide shouldered look gave way to a fragile, feminine appearance. This trend was emphasized by houffant skirts over full creno lines; it also featured full, sot sleeves. . Soon, however, a new craze took over . . . the saik look. The purpose of the "sack" was evi dently to hide woman from the world. Needless to say, the sack didn't last long. To The Present Trhe present period seems to he dictated by the woman 'her self . . . a sort of "wear-what ever-suits-you" phase.

Maybe you don't hoth see the same thing, but no matter, there is someone else who sees besides yourself. You're hooked. Back to the hostile typewriter, the ulcerous deadlines, the eye strain.
