His Lover Man, published last summer by Doubleday and Company, has received high critic, reviewing Lover Man for tional attention. The author has been called “a born writer” by Britisher Robert Graves, a dis tinguished poet, historical novel ist, translator, and student of the ancient world. A Time’s critic reviewing Lover Man for the New York Times, wrote “They (the stories) displays a genuine talent for fiction.” The letter below was received re cently from Alston Anderson by the editors of The Golden Echo. Mr. Anderson is now in Spain. The Editors THE GOLDEN ECHO North Carolina College Durham, N. C. Dear Fellow-Alumni, Thank you for the copy of THE GOLDEN ECHO which I received yesterday. The photo graphs brought back many me mories. I remember Dr. Helen Edmonds, whom I like and ad mire very much. And Dr. Farri- son, who gave me three straight D’s in English, but at the same time taught me how to write. Dr. Hughley I consider a close friend. Ditto Dr. Himes, with whom I had many long and in teresting talks. I also remember Dean Taylor very fondly. Once, when I was in danger of being expelled for some major infrac tion of the rules, which I’ve con veniently forgotten, he saved my college life. And I would here like to thank Dr. Manasse for his explanation to me of the term “dialectical materialism,” which I’ve never forgotten. I would also like to apologize, openly to Dr. Taylor for my rudeness to him during my senior year. There was no ex cuse for it; and he was terribly kind. I hate gossip, but I can’t resist this bit of it. Once Dr. Edmonds was a little late for a scheduled examination. One of the stu dents—^happily I’ve forgotten who—^went down and told Dr. Shepard. A few moments later Dr. Edmonds stormed into the classroom, hair beautifully awry, and wrote one of the most difficult examinations I’ve ever taken. She gave me a ‘B’ for my" "8. C."' Goes To Collegef As election time draws near, the interests of the citizens of our great country become more deeply associated with the fu ture of the U. S. In an effort to discover some of the many and varied opinions of our students, a poll was recently conducted on NCC’s campus. The question; “Who among the current can-i didates (Humphrey, Johnson, Kennedy, Stevenson, Syming^ ton) do you think will win the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination?” As may be ex pected, there seemed to have been a favorite—Kennedy. But, in order that we might be more representative, their ansvlers were as follows: Patricia Boone -(Freshman) —“Stevenson: He’s cute, and hel looks intelligent.” Freddie Jenkins (Junior)—• “Kennedy will be chosen be cause of his age.” Wilbur J. Hankins (Sopho more)—“Stevenson. The Demo cratic Party will not nominate Kennedy because they fear that he may not draw many of the Southern votes.” Dorothy N. Sharpe (Fresh man)—“I think Johnson will be the Democratic nominee, main ly because of his experience and vast influence in the Senate.” Charlotte McLamb (Senior) —“I think Kennedy’s age is an advantage.” Vera McKesson (Freshman) —“Kennedy—because of the) controversy over his religion, he will probably receive more popularity than either of th^ other candidates.” Thomas Lee Cameron (Sopho more)—“Kennedy—if he can prove to the Democrats that he .can beat Nixon. If he cannot, they will choose a compromise: meagre efforts, which is the one mark I don’t think I deserved. I think to this day that she gave me a ‘B’ mainly because of one of my answers to her difficult questions: “That’s a good ques tion.” Sincerely yours, Alston Anderson Senator Symington. I can say for sure that the South does not want Kennedy; he has been win ning his victories entirely in the North. The Democratic Party’s best chance lies with Kennedy^ but I feel that prejudice will rule over rational thinking, and Symington will be the Demo crat’s choice.” Ella Pone (Senior)—“Lyndon Johnson or Kennedy. I think that they are front runners now. George Dunn (Junior)—- “Kennedy will be chosen if he wins the West Virginia pri mary.” Edith Greene (Freshman)—' “Kennedy. I think he’ll make a good president.” William Stroy i(Junior)—i “Kennedy has the best pro-' gram.” John C. Scarborough (Senior) —“Johnson seems to have morei experience in solving political problems, a better understand ing of events at hand, and inge nuity in handling these situa tions.” James Outlaw (Senior)—, “Kennedy will perform well in the coming primary.” Vernon Barron (Sophomore) —“It will be either Kennedy or Stevenson, but Stevenson haa the upper hand because of ex perience.” Jean Smith (Freshman)—“I hope it will be Kennedy, but I don’t think the convention will risk losing the Protestant vote. So, it will probably be Humph rey.” Harrison Willoughby (Fresh man)—“Kennedy. He has shown his strength in the primary.” James B. Bryant (Junior)—\ “Johnson will get the nod be cause of his close affiliation, with the Southern solons.” Lula Faulcon (Junior)—“I think that Kennedy will be the Democratic nominee because of the popularity which he has) gained, a great deal of which was due to his religious faith, and because of the many Catho lics who populate the U.S. He has probably convinced many persons of other faiths that his religion shouldn’t and would not affect his position if he were The 1960 Simimer School will open on June 6 and close on.
