One of the assets of living on West (Campus is having a barbershop next to the post office in the basement of the Union. It is ov ned and operared by rhe University on a non-profit basis, and is maintained only for the con- venience of the students. The barbershop is noteil for its famous shoeshiner, Ralph, who can be seen any time of rhe day in rhe door of the barbershop remarking to the passers-b ' how shabby their shoes look. Ralph is as much a tradition at Duke as rhe Fast Campus purity lights are. West Campus UNION 3. The Union is used for rhe purpose of selling dance, concert, open house rickets and for selling Social Srandards calendars. Sam Gardner and Nanc ' Alle ' prove rhat the processes can be combined as they sell SGA Dance tickers and calendars ar the same time. The spot is an advantageous one, since every boy makes ar least one trip a da - b - there. 4. For the casual college look, the Duke man need onl - to run down a flight of stairs into the haberdasher} ' . There he may be fitted from argyle socks to bow ties if he so desires. Like the barbershop. Dope Shop, post office, bank, and movie theater, the haberdashery is also another service the Universits ' provides for rhe convenience of studenrs. . . In the past few years the dining-hall ssstem has been enlarged to handle the increased enrollment. West Campus alone has three cafeterias, a snack bar, an Oak Room where meals are served restaurant st le. and pri- vate rooms that are used for frarernit - and organization banquets. Prices are lower and service is better than an - other place in Durham.
