The )vorst shopping season of the year ’‘s upon us. College students especially despise this time of year since most do not have jobs and money is very scarce. Perhaps if you are worried about that perfect Sift for that perfect someone, Jerome Naylor of Alamance County Hardware has the perfect solution. Naylor recommends The Quickie Dryer which will dry an ^cle of clothing very quickly and inexpensively. The Quickie Dryer uses your hair dryer. "Just about everyone has one of those," Naylor said. "It folds up to fit in the palm of your hand," Naylor said. "And opens to about the approximate size of a king size pillow." The dryer is made out of the same material as parachutes, a *^ylon material, which makes it yery light. Naylor said it is pcrfect if you are traveling or for dormitory use. One prospective buyer commented that it looked just like One of those air bags that stuntmen use.

The Dryer works on the same principal as an air-hockey game. The hair dryer blows air into the "bag" and is forced through tiny holes along the top. "It only dries one side, but it dries very fast," Naylor said, "And you don't have to worry about shrinking. A lot of times, you don’t want to put a sweater in the clothes dryer, but you want to wear it right out of the wash. This docs eliminate shrinking. Also, you wouldn't have to throw fifty cents or a dollar into a dryer for one piece of clothing." The Quickie Dryer is available at Alamance Sentry Hardware at 124 West Main Street in Gibsonville, and sells for $14.95. "It's not a very complicated item, in fact it's very simple. And as far as I know, we arc the only store who has it in the area," Naylor said. "We've got a lot of people looking at it in terms of Christmas gifts for all their friends. In fact, my wife has made her list out already!" Andrews Auto Service COMPLETE' REPAIR SERVICE 10 % STUDENT DISCOUNT SHOW US YOUR STUDENT ID & RECEIVE A 10?^ DISCOUNT ON MAINTENANCE & REPAIR 704 W.

"I conceived this production as a participatory event for audience, dancers, singers, and players," Ten Eyck said. The audience will be encouraged to sing with the choirs in a traditional Christmas carol and a round for peace. A round is simply a musical composition in which the melody is imitated exactly and completely by successive voices. According to Ten Eyck, the round for peace was chosen for a very special reason. "I chose to do the round for peace because of the impending war (in the GulO," Ten Eyck said.

Death From Page 9 violence in tliis movie is senseless and insulting to the viewer. Mr. Seagal, when you come up with a new script and less violence, call me. Otherwise.
