The Story Of The Grail
(This is the last of a series of articles on the Order of the Grail,
ompiled for The Daily Tar Heel by Mike McDaniel.Ed.)
Scholarships have always been the destination of the small
jrofiit which the Order of the Grail makes on selling graduation
nvitations, senior class rings, and tickets for various dances which
t traditionally sponsors to bring all campus elements together at
an inexpensive social affair. Over the past year, six scholarships of
$150 each have been awarded to needy and deserving students to
lelp pay theirway at Carolina.
Aside from the obvious functions of sponsoring dances, provid
ing scholarships, and selling official University rings" and invita
ions, the Grail is active in many quiet ways by which it sefves to
lelp the Carolina "Way of Life. Among these activities which by na
ture cannot be publicized, are the citations which have been sent
during the past three years to students who, have rendered un
usual and generally unpublicized services to the " University. These
citations are simply letters to individuals, signed by the Grail,1
naming the worthy deed and expressing the thanks of the Order
on behalf of the campus. . '
- It is in keeping with the spirit of Carolina, the inconspicious
character of the Order, and the humility of the men whom it cites,
to recognize their achievements personally without any other fan
fare. In its watchwords: Friendship, Truth, Courage, and Service;
in its Arthurian ritual, knightly tradition, and the meaning of
its silver and purple key; in its choice of Knights for character,
service, and personal integrity; and in Service its chief objective,
the Order of the Grail attempts to lead the life of Carolina upward
toward the realization of the ideals upon which the organization
is founded. By honoring the worthy, bringing together every di
verse element, and acting in the best interests of the University
through example rather than imitation, the Order of The Grail
symbolizes the quest which every good man makes toward the
higher life. --
To the men who have been called to. make the pilgrimage in
search of the spiritual Grail, to those who may someday hope to
be chosen, and to the Knights of the Order past and present, the
heart of the University is grateful for your Service "the Heart
of the Grail."

A Eulogy:
Some great - characters have
come and gone through this
University and no one" ever
heard of them simply because
they were above petty college
hysterics. Being an extrovert
clear to the bone, I used to find
it hard to appreciate fellows
who just sat in the corner while
I made a fool of myself.
For the last four years I
lived with a fellow who just
calls himself Cobola. I looked
it up in ' my old Guianezian
notebook and found that it
means "Recipient of many cobs"-
No name could suit Cobola
better. :
Once while in Raleigh he de
cided to visit a farmer friend of
his. While they were sitting
down in the parlor talking about
the crops, the farmer's barn
burned down. Of course, Co
bola knew why. This living
Joe Blfs has brought more hard
luck onto the human race than
Al Capp's creation ever dreamed
of.
On the second visit to the
farmer, Cobola hadn't been gone
an y hour before a cold wave
came in and froze up the peach
crop. On the third visit the
farmer's house burned down
and on the fourth, Cobola was
met at the barnyard, with a
sawed-off shotgun.
Although he- was forever suf
fering himself, it seemed that
the hard luck usually rubbed off
on somebody else; and that was
most likely me.
Take the time we cut out to
Raleigh on a couple of hot dates.
Mine was made way in ad
vance and I expected no more
than the usual trouble of get
ting myself approved by the
Dean of Women. I had a spi
shine all over. I shaved with
the crease in the pants and
combed hair by the light of my
shoes. Perfection all the way
around but then this babe corned
down and gives me her snoot
She left with a guy in a, dirty
T-shirt and a red sleeveless
sweater. Typically Cobolaism
He carried his own little rain
cloud of hard luck and over the
vears cot-a rather harsh out
look on life.
But he took it all in his
stride. He accepted the fact
thathe was a Cobola and let
lie. excent for using it as a
basis for a new philosophy
''Today is bad, tomorrow will
be worse so, enjoy today while
things are not so bad." And,
"Eat drink and be merry before
thev raise the price of beer
again."
