These courses were operat-

To illustrate, he cites some
1965 statistics. Last year, he
reports, the Triangle univer
sities alone had 42 of their
faculty members abroad, and
125 foreign teaching and re
search scholars and 745 for
eign students in residence on
the three campuses. Many of
these teachers, scholars and
students were on U. S. Gov
ernment grants.
Student concern over Amer
ican foreign involvement, he
has noticed, is particularly
keen where such action is apt
to involve them personally,
as in the cast of Viet Nam.
MUCH PUBLICITY
'The negative and uncon
structive viewpoints tend to
get the greater publicity here
in the United States, as well
as abroad. On issues such as
Viet Nam, students should in-
form themselves of the facts
and try putting themselves in
the shoes of those entrusted
with our foreign policy," he
says.

He points out that freedom
of speech and assembly are
"fundamental elements of a

American system of govern

Dr. William H. Willis, profes
sor of Classical Studies at
Duke, declares "The manu
scripts of classical texts and
other works should be of great
importance to classical, medi
eval, and renaissance scholars
and graduate students at both
Duke and UNC, and to those
majoring in history, English
or theology."
"Not only are the texts im
portant, but the 'scholia'

. marians or others who may
have owned- the books and
manuscripts are valuable
in determining the state of
knowledge of the times, and
for transmitting information
that otherwise might not have
reached us," he continued.
, "It is not unreasonable to
expect that their studies may
result in sounder texts of
some ancient authors or in
new material on certain re
naissance subjects," he added.
Another range of usefulness,
Willis said, is in "exempli

RIALTO, DURHAM
MOSCOW (UPI) If you
are buying for children Christ
mas shopping in Moscow can
be almost a pleasure.
Russians claim their only
"special class" is children and
evidence of this is seen in the
Christmas season.
GUM, the huge and dreary
yellow brick supermarket of
Communism across Red Square
from the Kremlin, is an adults
only affair, disorganized as a
middle eastern bazaar and peo
pled by rude clerks.
But Dietski Mir (Children's
World), Moscow's biggest chil
dren's department store, is de
partmentalized to ease the
shopper's task, staffed with
polite if sometimes harried
clerks, & stocked with enough
playthings to please any small
child. .
Prices are low at Dietski Mir
and quality is often low, too.
The Soviets feel precision man
ufacturing is wasted, on toys
which kids will bash to pieces
pretty quickly anyway.
An American might gasp at
some of the baby dolls. Their
complexions are pasty their
hair scraggly. Many have legs
that don't move or articulate
poorly. Doll clothing is unimag
inative and dull except for
beautiful and costly souvenir
models sold by gift shops and
too fragile for everyday use
by a normally healthy little
girl.
Still, little Russian girls love
their dolls as little girls every
where do, and; children are not
likely to be overly critical, es
pecially when they have little
opportunity for comparison.
TOYS SMELL
Rubber toys often smell. The
Russians appear not to have
mastered the technique of man
ufacturing cheap, odorless syn
thetic rubber. And Russian
clerks frown if you give their
toys the nostril test before buy
ing. One counter, girl indicated
she thought an American wife
was showing ideological disap
proval when she sniffed a fur
ry brown bear with its flexi
"ble' skin. -,.-.;..-:.,-' -

' Russia date lo grandma's day.
But little Natasha feels at home
because Russian women still
use a heavy cast iron blob to
press their clothes, and Dietski
Mir has a little cast iron blob
for the little girls.
Children's furniture, like that
of their parents, is more Minsk
mediocre than Scandinavian
modern. The standard doll bed
is a tiny replica of a cast-iron
horror.
Dietski Mir also carries loads
of tree decorations at low
prices. But New Year's is cele
brated instead of Christmas
in officially atheistic Russia,
and Santa Claus is known as
Grandfather Frost (Ded Mo
roz. y
Browsing in Dietski Mir isn't
exactly the same as visiting the
toy departments of western
world stores. One massive pile
proved to be green enamelled
chamber pots, presumably for
tucking under children's beds
at night.
Ther are toy jetliners ana
plastic cosmonauts, but no
cowboys or Indians. There are
no six shooters, but some mil
itary style guns.

Less Yuletide Swing
Seen For Londoners
LONDON (UPI) There'll
be a bit less Yuletide swing in
swinging London, and the in
dustrial areas of the nation
will have a mini-Christmas this
year.
The government's freeze on
prices and wages, the squeeze
on credit and bank lonas and a
general awareness among
Britons that there may be
worse to come up to the pros
pect of a not-so-quite-as-merry-as-usual
festive season.
For many this year the tradi
tional turkey may find itself
supplanted by much cheaper
chicken. Scotch whisky at 54
shillings ($7.70) a bottle will
disappear from many home
parties and be replaced with
wine or beer. And many
youngsters can expect a cheap
er lot of toys in their Christ
mas stockings.
'"" But even in the hom s of the
more than 500,000 unemployed,
Britons will go through their
traditional Christmas with
lighted trees in the windows
and on the streets, myriads of
greeting cards, days of celebra
tion in the pub, the office party
or the home up to Christmas
eve and a day of eating, drink
ing and sleeping at home on
Christmas Day.
Prime Minister Harold Wil
son's tough austerity measures
came too late for the big stores
which had already placed their
orders for Christmas goods.
The selection behind the tinsel
starred and tree-lit windows
was probably the biggest ever
for gift buyers.
But indications are a lot of
the more expensive presents
would be still sitting on the
shelves the day after Christ
mas. For instance, a giant ted
dy bear, bigger than the aver
age eight-year-old and with a
60-pound ($168) price tag.
But the higher-priced restau
rants and hotels in London's
Mayfair and West End don't
expect their takings to be far
down.

Russian crowds push and
don't say any version of "ex

nasty about it. Mid-winter toy
shopping in Moscow can be
compared to fraternizing with
a tame herd of heavily padded
multi - colored polar bears.

a nerve and excites a harsh

Christmas, carol singers at the

postman knocking even late
Christmas morning with last
minute cards and the Queen
on television with a message
for the Commonwealth.
Most Britons, rich or poor,
will finish their traditional
Christmas Day dinner with
heavy black Christmas pudding
and custard, a few more drinks

oblivion of the sofa until the
kids wake them up late in the
