Campus Carousel: Social By ELEANOR SAUNDERS The social hourglass of 1.954 has sifted itself away nito noth ingness, yet Carolina socialites have another year and a stream lined new glass of time before them. Among the sands of 1955 will be numerous parties and pinnings, escapes and engage ments, weekends and weddings. NEW LOOK This promises to be a year of new looks the full classroom look, the shapeless Dior look, th higher dormitory bill look, and perhaps the George-less look. But with the same people and the same places, bigger and bet ter parties loom on the social horizon. So relax and enjoy it! It's 1955! After this and varied other vigorous greetings to the New Year, the first weekend didn't seem typical of future predic tions and aspirations. But those time-consuming days are nearly upon the Carolina calendar a gain; so, on second thought, re lax and enjoy it after Jan 29!

Sixteen will be three-bedroom apartments. The other 56 units will be built on a "flexible plan," he said, so that they can be used as either two or one bedroom apartments.
