HARD CASH FOR
TIN CAN TISSUE
A
Nearly $2,000 is spent each year at Carolina on
crepe paper decorations for the Tin Can and By
num dances.
The average life of a single decorations job is
usually about three days, at the end of which
time the neat effects have been ripped, off either
unoiff icially by departing dancers, or officially by
the "clean up" crew.
No one is profiteering off the job, as far as can
be determined, for the actual cost of the crepe
paper, of the fireproof kind necessary for the
Tin Can, usually runs around $90 or $100 each
time. The finished job regularly costs the or
ganization putting on the dance and footing the
bill $140, "which means that the workers who
spend nearly three days pn the job split the

money is annually thrown away for tissue paper,

folly, for special decorations at Virginia for ex

for a single dance week-end. No green light for
Carolina, however.

stood that the Order is investigating the possibili
ties of reducing this item in their budget. They
haven't the slightest idea of giving dances inside
bare walls and underneath open steel girders, but
they are prepared to consider the substitution of
regular scenery, possibly indirectly lighted for
changing the effects, for the perishable tissue
paper. : v'" ; ''
Every other dance , organization, the "United

SOME RUFFIN YARNS "
Ruffin dormitory is the upper quadrangle's
hotbed of swell yarns. Lots of off-the-record his
tory has been made there.
Any old night you can get an upperclassman
down at the Ruffin store for his 10:30 stretch to
tell you of the snow a couple of years ago. Na
sooner had the two or three inches nestled on the
campus than the boys got up a bet.. A dollar said
that some body wouldn't strip and race three
times around the outside of Ruffin in the cold
snow. Out went a dare-devil, stark naked under
the bright February moon, to do his racing. Then
the spectators decided to lock the" sprinter out
and have some fun.
Doing the three laps didn't particularly exas
perate the dollar-earner, but he promptly got mad
when the betters wouldn't let him in. In fact he
began to ( rave and rant and run around to keep
his vital juices from freezing up. Then the prank
sters, in high glee, called the police department
and told them a student had gone crazy from too
much stddying down in Ruffin!

STYLE TRENDS
STYLE
Why SHOULD a man pay at-
tention to style? Because lie
owes it to himself, to look his
best. Most men look their best
when they're well dressed.
"Well dressed" means in "good
taste" or in "Style," because
. "Style" means good taste.
A "Style" becomes a "Fash
ion" when enough men adopt
' and wear it to establish popu
lar acceptance. '

THE HOWELLS HAVE FUN
Mrs. A. C. Howell was pouring tea at the Bull's
Head last Tuesday just "before her English pro
fessor-husband was to speak. "Do you know him?
Is he interesting? Should I bother to stay and
listen?" asked a strange lady. "Yes, I think so,'
rallied Mrs. Howell, "You see, he's my husband.

band of a swell yarn for the G. O. P. boys, or
even some good-humored Democrats:

Mrs. Harold Ickes sat close to the front in a
Washington auditorium last year as her husband
was about to speak on the government's DroEress.
In trudged a burly man, seated himself next to-
the secretary's wife, and waited.
The speech was hardly underway before the-
burly man began growling disapproval. His out
spoken disgust mounted and mounted, until Mrs.
Ickes could no longer be silent.' -
Do you know who I am?" she at last challeng
ed. "I am Mrs. Ickes.H
..'Do you know-who I am?": shot back the burly-
man.
''No." The speaker's wife was Jndignant.
