Literary Club Hears Panel
Discuss Problems In Exodus
On Wednesday, February 22,
the Literary Cluib of F.M.C. spon
sored a trip to Davidson, N. C.,
to attend a panel discussion of
world issues arising from Exo
dus by Leon Uris. The program
at Davidson was sponsored by
the Davidson College Young
Men’s ^Christian Association and
was the second annual Book-of-
the-Year Program. The discussion
was held in Chambers Auditorium
at 8:15.
Participating on the panel were
Leon Uris, the author of Exodus;
Moshe Leshem, consul of Israel,
Atlanta, Georgia; Frontis W.
Johnston, Dean of the Faculty
and Professor of History, David
son College; Israel J. Gerber,
Rabbi of Temple Beth-el, Char
lotte, N. C.; Ernest F. Patterson,
Associate Professor of Economics
Davidson College; Edmunds Han-
auer, official repnesenltative of
the American Council of Judaism
Washington, D. C.; and Daniel D.
Rhodes, Professor of Philosophy
and Religion, Davidson College.
The program opened with an
introduction by ^tlie Chairman of
t h e Book-ofithe-Year Program
and an introduotion df the pan
elists. Mr. Uris then presented a
brief spieeoh on the issues at
hand, stating that although he
was a Jew, he was not an au
thority on Judaism. The next
part of the program was a panel
discussion featuring such fiery
This Is Our New Student Council
issues as the Israelite vs. the Ar
ab problem and what could be
done about it, the attitude toward
and the treatment of the Jews
in Arabia and the Arabs in Is
rael, the United Nations and its
attitude toward ithe Israelites,
keeping the Jews in Arabia by
minefielding ithe roiads, the refu
gee problem of both countries,
and 'the way the Arabs feel about
having the Jews take over a large
part of their land.
Mr. Uris stated that the Arabs
would benefit from a peaceful
relationship with ithe Israelites
because the Israelites had much
to give them and could aid them
against theiir extreme pestilence;
however, the Arabs do not recog
nize the Israelite right to exist.
He also stated later in the discus
sion that it Wias the plight of the
Israelites, not the plight of the
Arabs, that' moved him to write
the book; and he did not deliber
ately itry to twist ithe facts to
gain sympathy for the Jews.
Throughout the program the
Zionist (d'efmition; the recogni
tion of the necessity of a Jewish
state ito exist) vs. tihe Anti-Zion
ist element was prevalent, an
argument ithlat wias ;peiihaps the
most controversial issue.
Following the panel debate an
opportunity was given for peo
ple in the audience to ask ques
tions. After many had asked

Our first number tonight is
quite a ithriller. There comes a
spry little blond, dressed in black
(froim head to foidt) with a
skimpy yellow and black brief
— very brief. To introduce her
act, she is showing her mighty
muscles. Assuming that she is
warmed up enough, she ener-
geticajlly’ lifts a 100 pound
weight. 'Now she’s trying a heav
ier weight — a 250 poumd, up
to a 500 poiund weight, and fin
ally she attempts the imiptossible
— the 1000 pound weight. Care-
fdl “Hooky,” (ithat’s wihat we
call her) don’t, strldin yourself.
I hope she’s been taking her
v'itamins with confidence. Wow!!

nexit performer has dheckdd ouit!
Listen! There he comes — Mr.
Mike Pegram himself — on roll
er skates. So thalt’s wihy he was
so late. Quite a few siteps, huh?
This is a treat for the audience.

highland fling on roller skates.
