New Officers Today ( Book' Letters Are Cleaned Off Columns By Jack Lackey The glorious letters D-U-K-E emblazoned on the columns of Graham Memorial are slowly disappearing. No longer are the little mementos left by our vandalistic college brothers from the North to remain before our gaze. The "Tunstall's Service" com pany of Greensboro is slowly re moving the letters with a steam jetty, some Oakite paint strip per and a little elbow grease. First they apply the Oakite to the columns after which eighty pounds pressure of steam is squirted on them through a long nozzle. This procedure is repeat ed anywhere from 2 to 10 times depending on the type of paint that has been applied and the length of time it has been there. Two or three massages were enough to remove the smaller letters on the left hand columns but as many as ten applications will be necessary to get the ones on the right off. j Improvement on Blasting ; TViic mpVmrl n-f sfpam inipp, tion is a great improvement over the method of sand blast- ing used in previous years. The yearly application of sand blast was slowly wearing away the sides of the columns besides permanently marring their sur face. The work could have been finished in a much shorter time if the job had been started right after the paint had been applied. After finishing the GM col umns Tunstall's will proceed to attack the remaining evidences of the destructiveness of our lit tle friends. All in all it will take about a month to remove all the paint.- Liquor Control Will Be Discussed By Phi Tonight Alcoholic beverage control will be the subject for discussion at the Philanthropic Assembly when it convenes in regular ses sion tonight at 7:30 o'clock.
