PAGE FOUR THE PILOT FEBRUARY, 1951 The Feudal System See or C- By RAY CARNES Note! Due to the source of ma terial and to typograpliical errors the lousiness of this column cannot be blamed entirely on the author. This is not a discussion on feuda lism in its entirety but rather a short summary. You will be impressed by its adherence to the study sheets. Did you know that the noble of the 10th century was not rolling in dough? Well he wasn’t. This of the great causes of the poorness of the nobles (also dukes, tie, and in general the government). Not only that, it is a direct the fall of which ever civilization we’re studying. People experimented with politics and government. (According to " popular opinion, people are still ex perimenting.) Our mayor is i dect descendent of the middle “People did not love the king and the king did not love the people." (It wouldn’t surprise me if 1 king didn’t pull an excommunication soon). I gather that the king of this period was not too hot. Then the king bought himself an army and immediately things warmed up. The famous Doomsday Book was the resiilt of something that hap pened in England. Willie the first’s son was.Henry who was succeeded by a Norman who was not Henry’s son since Henry was saxon (or vice The famous Saulsbury Oath was occasioned when the Earl of Sauls bury got knocked down by a horse. The old idea of the kings’ court could not be forgotten and the kings courted as they had in the days of old. The king had a large body to decide issues, but he wanted a small body, so he cut their feet in half. This body was Interested in helping the king check his money. Some times they played checkers for money (the origin of gambling, pro bably). King Henry IV had a few children. After he died they fought. Every country in western Europe went through the monarchy stage. (Mono meaning one, archy, being evidently the name of a king). Cities fought tenaciously against Archy, Was not inevitable, (that is the cities were unprepared). Cities in new Europe were hedged in, so to speak. as walls and the cities were readily Invaded. A city became a community within a greater community. (Both with hedges, I suppose). These com munities were ruled by Charter and Contract. (Sons of Magna III). Florence was popular at this time. (Florence Italy, that is). Common law was estabUshed. This was about as common as our law of today. When murder was com mitted, the judge would go to jail, if he didn’t have a good lawyer. Peo ple wanted to be tried by common law. People even paid fees to be tried under it. Twelve people were picked out and asked to swear that they would tell the truth. The first thing they knew there was a new sheriff in the community. Criminals some times went through an ordeal. Pet ty jury — witnesses to the crime knew more about it than anyone else. This of course is the direct opposite of our jury today. And the same thing was happen ing on the other side of the chan- Cadets & Wingate Took Honors Two Eastern powerhouses, the Wingate Bulldogs and Oak Ridge Cadets have fought their way into the finals of the state Junior Col lege Conference Tournament. The two race-horse fives were scheduled to meet Saturday night at 9:00 in a game that drew state-wide a Since these two outfits didn’t during the regular season, and ' '■ clubs have several outstanding , J.C. circuit fans have been waiting all year for this one. scoring duel between Big Neild Gor don, the Wingaters’ towering Cen ter, and Oak Ridge’s brilliant For ward, Jack Powell, should pack’ in. Bill Hawkins and Jack Musten are the other Wingate stars while Donny Montgomery and Robie Hicks are co-ohorts of Powell, the ex-Hlgh Point High star. Powell flipped 37 points through the hoops as the Tee-Frye-coached Cadets defeated Campbell College 70-66 in the first round of play. He added 32 as the Ridgers took a semi final 66-63 victory fro mthe Bob cats of Lees-McRae, the only West ern team to survive the first round. Wingate smashed Mars Hill 75-53 in the first round, and then downed Pfeiffer 58-48 in the semi-finals. Gardner-Webb held a 32-26 ei ove rthe Pfeiffer Panthers in ; final first round scrap. With five minutes remaining in the game, the Panthers took the lead at 54-4 ' “ the first time, the Panthers had held the lead.

(The British Channel, that is). “■ IS always, the policy of the rul- marry a daughter of a duke. In order to increase his domain. If he had a couple of sons, it would be divided up again. (Empire Rota tion) . The Feudal system is pretty deep >0 is the bull)! Eleanor owned a big dukedom in France. This made her very popular and she married several times. They were all failures though, because it was marriage for money. Phillip II was overlord of John I. This lead to many things; among them, confusion. There even en sued a war. Phillip and his friends beat the devil out of John and his friends. A few weeks later Phillip and his Spanish armada were dis- asterously defeated, and England, again ruled the seas. There seems to have been a few questions concerning the last col umn well, don’t let it wor ry you .... I may be revealed in the last column, but in the mean time, watch your step. I was wondering if Jonelle ever caught up with Gienn, I heard that she wasn’t very far behind him. This may be a rumor and it m not .... just take it for what means to you. I also noticed th Evelyn wasn’t very far behind Don. Rumor has it that Bill Morehead is nuts over Nancy Lincoln b almost flatly refuses to date That boy friend at Wheaton must be “on the money.” I someone on second floor say they would give their right arm to eat ’ side him at one meal. This 1 number happens to go steady, it doesn’t look too obvious to The things that go on on second floor. By the way, who was that that let out that Indian yell the other Sunday night and then would n’t tell about it? Oh, I almost forgot it seems that Ray Tugman has the priority there. I, personally, have counted around five girls he has dated from that floor. There usually request for variety but Ray, you at least should try a few girls that same bunch. First, it’s Mary Suddreth, then her room-mate, Nan cy Wall, then Mary Dorcas, then Velma Stamey. Maybe, I’m all turn ed around but who wouldn’t Girls, I’m sorry. Well, at leas tried the wings but that sorta foul ed up. Ray, before I finish with you, ■■’ve got one more request. Someone lid me to ask you to learn another ano solo. “We” are tired of the old “Muron” and Becky have really _ )t the spring fever and have had it all winter. By the way, I would like encourage a little more of ' looks good. Getting back latter couple i heard that it’s getting to be rather serious. Frankly, I can picture Marion down on his knees. Gene Washburn isn’t exactly the type to stir up trouble among the ladies .... he has one ” ' hand .... it seems . . . another second floor girl .... Dot Robert- That brings to mind Shirley Ded- lon. Wonder what ever happened I her and Bob Bush. (As if I didn’1 know) I don’t guess there is any thing that I can do to help. . . is there? Alma Mae Thrift’s heart belongs (I heard) to some boy at Appald,- 'lian. No wonder she has all that me to study and make good grades. Leola Bettis seems to have Max Clampitt running around in circles. He’d better stop long enough to see who is watching him. Walter Hill’s muscles are pretty big, Max. Mary Rose and Cole seem to dis agree on certain matters.. Or have you noticed? that Iris C. has added an other one to her hst. Ray Philips. I might add that there are only three dating nights to a week-end, so that is going to leave^someone out. Molly got fouled up at the party it seems. Her boy-friend from Gas- and Allyn, both at the same table. Well, those things will hap- "■3n. It seems that the flame between Mary Frances and Sam are sorta ■‘flickering.” At least it is a little one sided, I repeat, is there anything I — — - help? I don’t know too many of the de tails on this next scoop, but you are left to draw your own conclus ions. Has Games actually broken down and dated a girl? Well, what would you expect him to date? She is none other than Christine Hyde (lucky girl). I don’t know about you, but it looks pretty good to me. I thought Charles Shelton was convinced that women just didn’t latch on to him. Well, one has latch ed on and it’s Nancy Wall. Shes cute, Charles. Banks Miller seems to have got ten Sarah off on the right track. I was wondering what it would take to get him to break over. The same goes for Bobby Denny. What do you want? Betty Grable? From the looks of some of the walls in the boy’s dormitories, that question went over pretty big. All I can say is, “make hay while the sun shines.” Someone asked me the other day why Cora Ray didn’t date anyone. Well I said that it was because she is red-headed but I quickly added that Phil Hass, a stu dent at another college, liked red heads. In other words, “Angel,” that leaves you out. You too, Julian! Since Valentine’s Day is over and everyone is sick from eating candy, I made a survey to find out who loves who. I found out all right, and found that Frank really was “that way” about Lillian. I was wondering there for awhile. Looks like Sara Blanton would get tired of chasing Bryan out of the cafeteria every night. He manages stay about two feet in front of her. None other than Jim T. is be hind her. Yes, you guessed it ... . you’ll usually find the three of them making music. Wonder if Miss Morgan and Miss Jones cared if I used their name in vain. Well, here goes. Miss Morgan’s boyfriend is in Korea, (as if every one didn’t already know) and Miss Jones’ is in Nashville. That’s about all I can say for them off hand. (Hot Tip) Some of us are wondering just why Morton won’t even speak to a . . . That is all the hint that throw, Barbara. I seems to have it “made” with Andy M. How about that, Nell? That reminds me of “Available” Grigg anyone that should hap pen to be Interested ..... She doesn’t exactly go steady with the Wake Forest guy any more. Well, maybe that’s the best way to play it after all. Girls, I have a sneaking feeling that Milton Higdon isn’t the bash ful boy that he pretends to be. I ‘--ard him tell Frank to ask Lillian get him a date.
