This campus’ only float in the Carrousel Parade on Thanksgiv ing Day was presented by the Rotaract Club, whose branch is the charter Rotoract Club at a four-year institution in the entire nation. Six of the members served as escorts for the Carrousel Prin cesses at the Carrousel Ball on Wednesday, November 22, at the Coliseum. The Ball is sponsored each year by the Knights of the Carrousel. The theme of the float, which was constructed from scratch by the club members, was “Spirit of ‘49’’. Robert Wood, vice-pres- i ident of the club, explained, “The theme of the parade was ‘The Won- derful World of Books’. We chose the Gold Rush because we could relate it so well to the mascot of our University. The float was made entirely from scratch. It was de signed, built, and ridden by us.’’ The float took first place in ‘ its division. i (The Journal staff regrets that ^ pictures of the winning float are ! not available.) ' Seminar Discusses Controversial DeGaulle, Two Southern Dailies In order to discuss the con troversial character of Charles DeGaulle of France, the French Club held a seminar entitled, “DeGaulle—The Dilemma” on Wednesday, November 1. The distinguished panel of pro fessors who gave observations and views on the subject were Dr. Pierre Macy, Dr. Newell Bush, Dr. Nish Jamgotch, and Dr. Dan Morrill. Dr. Joseph Slechta mod erated the discussion. The first speaker was Dr. Ja- mgotc h of the Political Science Department. He feels that we must see DeGaulle in the con text of two developments: the pro gress of NATO, and the Common Market came about partially to stem the tide of communism in Europe,” pointed out Dr. Jam gotch. This purpose having been accomplished renders DeGaulle able to approach the USSR on a better basis he concludes. According to Jamgotch, De Gaulle has objected to U. S. dom ination of Europe’s defense since WW II because this policy could leave Europe at the mercy of a foe if the U. S. abstained at the crucial time. Also he feels that DeGaulle thinks the U. S. should not expect to win in Vietnam since the French failed. Next, Dr. Morrill of the History Department gave a short histori cal outlook of France and De- Gaulle’s present position. De Gaulle, he says, has been an out standing soldier, a far-sighted theorist, and virtually the savior of the French Fourth Republic. Additionally, Morrill continued, he managed to settle the Algerian con flict when no one else could. “Ne gatively, however, DeGaulle is nationalism,” Dr. Morrill con tinues, “and has a vision of the romantic heroism of that era.” In addition, he pointed out that DeGaulle grew up in the era of the desire for revenge against Germany in particular. Dr. Bush, of the Foreign Lan guage Department, feels that one of the reasons the French have accepted DeGaulle is that the French people are not as re actionary as one mightthink. “De Gaulle,” he continues, “is a na tionalist but is nevertheless very realistic.” In the opinion of Dr. Bush, De Gaulle does not think now is the time to abandon nationalism for internationalism. He thinks De Gaulle feels that someone must first break the rigid binds of the U.S. and the USSR, “Regardless of how you took at ueoaulte,” concludes Dr. Bush, “he has managed to pull France up to a position where the country is powerful enough to make the world listen when she speaks.” As a native Frenchman, Dr. Macy countered a statement made by Dr. Morrill concerning the 1890 nationalism of DeGaulle. Macy pointed out that DeGaulle was only a baby in 1890 and that the charge of his having 1890 nationalism could not be brought against De bound up by an 1890 form of 1 Wheeling Town Charlotte 1st Luxury Mobile Home Park = 3 Minutes From University on US 29 North | 596-1893 ONLY $35.00 MONTHLY The Amber House THE KKSTUT(\M NK\K THE IMVEKSITY Opt*n H A.M.

Gaulle. “He was and is a great patriot,” Dr. Macy says, “and an historian.” According to Macy, Churchill and Roosevelt tried to replace DeGaulle in the French high com mand in 1943. During this time, he added, DeGaulle was treated with extreme disrespect con stantly, and this is partially why he is so nationalistic. Macy said also that in 1949 France joined NATO tor only one reason—as the only feasible means of halting the Russian onslaught. The remainder of the seminar consisted of a discussion of views and questions brought up by the audience. Responding to the question of who will succeed DeGaulle, Dr. Jamgotch said that he didn’t know but that nostalgia and sentimen tality will be a definite detriment to the successor and to the choos ing of a successor. Dr. Macy, how ever, maintained that with so many capable ministers in France, there should be no problem in electing a new president.
