Alabama governor George
Wallace visited Laurinburg
Mwiday in one of his last
public appearances before
North Carolina voters resoun-
dngly rejected him in
Tuesdays’ primary and soun
ded the death knell* for his
third presidential campaign.
Wallace was steamrollered by
former Georgia governor
Jimmy Carter, who received
56% of the vote to the Ala
bama governor’s 36%. While
the victory by Carter was
expected, his supporters were
surprised by the size of the
win. Just as surprised, if not
more so, were supporters of
PresidentFord, who was de
feated by underdog Ronald
Reagan, 52% to 46%.
Appearing at midaftemoon
Monday in front of Rose’s
department store in the
College Plaza Shopping Cen
ter, Wallace was surrounded
by a phalanx of Secret Service
agents, Laurinburg police.
Highway Patrol officers and
Scotland County jail per
sonnel, Wallace appeared well
tanned but at the same time
tired and rather frail. He
wears a hearing aid now, and
was seen to wince slightly at
one point in the reverberation
of the public address system,
gesturing to an aide who
quickly reduced the volume.
It was a defensive Wallace
who faced the crowd in the
parkinn lot. His opening
Writer in residence Ron Bayes has announced that St. An
drews will host the North Carolinian Southeastern Consortium
for International Education’s festival “Japan and the Lively
Arts”, April 6-15. The ten day festival is being jointly sponsored
by Pembroke State University and St. Andrews, and is directed
by a panel made up of Pembroke’s Dr. John Chay, chairman of
the NCSCIE, Dean Victor Arnold of St. Andrews, Dr. Samuel J.
Womance of Methodist College, Dr. R.C. Dickens of Fayet
teville State University, and St. Andrews’ Bayes, who serves as
chairman of the festival.
Among the featured speakers and performers for the festival
will be Columbia University’s Dr. Donald Keene and dancer
Eleanor King. (A complete schedule of events can be found in
the “This Week” calendar feature on this page.)
Keene, professor of
Japanese language and
literature at Columbia Univer
sity, will present a lecture en
titled “Yukio Mishima, Man
and Artist” on April 8.
Dr. Keene has been a
student of Japanese language
and literature since his college
days at Columbia University.
Upon his graduation from
Columbia, he joined the war
effort as a language officer in
the Navy. He participated
in the Aleutian, Philippines
and Okinawa campaigns.
Since then, Keene has tran
slated Japanese novels,
poetry, and plays into English.
He has also written in
Japanese for Japanese
publications.
In 1962, he was awarded the
Kikuchi Kan Prize for
distinguished achievement in
Japanese letters. It was the
first time this had been won by
a non-Japanese. The prize is
awarded annually by the
Japanese literary magazine,
“Bungei Shunju,” and the
Society for the Promotion of
Japanese Culture on the basis
of long and outstanding
.achievement in Japanese arts
and letters.
In addition. Dr. Keene
received the Van Amringe
Distinguished Book Award,
awarded by the Van Am
Society of Columbia College
for the book, “No, The
Classical Theatre of Japan”
as well as the 1972 Japanese
Ministry of Education Award.
Professor Keene taught
Japanese language and
literature at the University of
Cambridge from 1949 through
1953. He lived in Kyoto, Japan,
for the next two years, before
joining the Columbia Univer
sity faculty in 1955. Since then,
he has remained on the
faculty, but has returned to
Japan for part of each year.
His lecture at St. Andrews
College will be concerned with
Yukio Mishima, the Japanese
author of such books as “Con
fessions of a Mask, Five
Modern No Plays,” and “The
Sea of Fertility,” who com
mitted hara-kiri in 1970.
remarks dealt extensively
with his health; he declared he
was perfectly capable of run
ning for president and gover
ning nation as well. “Franklin
D. Roosevelt was elected
president four times from a
wheelchair,” he declared. “If
he could do that then there’s
no reason I can’t be an ef
fective candidate for the
presidency.” In a typical
Wallace vein he then attacked
the “bew-rocrats” in
Washington: “I think, and I’m
certain you do to, that the
folks who been runnin’ the
government for the last couple
three decades been paralyzed
in the head, that’s what I
think.” Big grin. Laughter and
applause Jrom the crowd,
which was surprisingly sub
dued for a Wallace crowd, and
the network television crews
