Hitler’s Germany
BY CAROL DURHAM
The cries of “Heil Hitler” and
’’deutschland Uber Alles” bring
back vivid and somewhat painful
memories to those people who re
member what they stood for. To
other people, including most stu
dents here, there are no such mem
ories, AH they know of this per
iod in history is what they have read
Chorus
Performs
Twice
BY PAUL BOSWELL
The Chorus, the University’s
sole performing group, will pre
sent two performances of Christ
mas Music here.
The program, entitled ‘‘Christ
mas Choral Music from the Ren
aissance to Calypso”, consists
of fourteen numbers of variety.
Next Wednesday, December 14,
is the date of the group’sll: 30 a.m.
performance in the Union Ball
room. The second presentation is
scheduled for Monday, December
19 at 8:00 p.m,, also in the Ball
room. The public is invited to at
tend both performances.
The fifty - voice mixed chorus,
enjoying much improved practice
and performance facilities, has
shown good balance and tone in
rehearsals.
Directed byHarvey Woodruff and
accompanied by June F. Kelly,
the singers have prepared an ex
cellent program with songs to be
enjoyed by all.
The title of the program is well
chosen according to the content of
the agenda.
The Latin number, ‘‘Ecce Virgo
Concipiet”, by Cristobal deMor-
(Continued on Page 4)
or heard or seen in films.
Because of the proceeding rea
son and the fact that the week of
December 7-13 commemorates the
twenty-fifth anniversity of the be
ginning of the real onslaught in
World War II, Dr, Robert Rieke,
head of the History and Political
Science department, has allowed
the library to exhibit his collection
of World War n mementos.
The materials in the exhibit con
centrate on Germany and Hitler’s
role in the conflict. There are
several unusual items along with
the usual war exhibits of weapons
and newspapers.
A book containing water colors
done by Hitler in his youth seems
to dispute the general belief that
he was a terrible artist.
The role of other countries, es-
pecialiy England, in the conflict
is pointed out through two books
and a record which contain Win
ston Churchill’s notes at several
of the pre-war conferences and his
memiors of the war.
One of Hitler’s biggest assets
in the war was his ability to unite
his countrymen through the use
of propoganda. This asset is re
flected in the exhibit by a news
paper glorifying accounts of Ger
many’s prowess in war and a dag
ger proudly displaying a swastika
and the slogan, ‘‘Alles fui Deut
schland,”
This collection, which is on dis
play in the lobby of the library,
is both an interesting and an infor
mative addition to the understand
ing of the people involved in what
has been termed the‘‘greatest con
flict of all times.”

Britton Stranded
On Mexican Visit
Judy Rogers, above,
is the vocalist for the
George Doerner Or
chestra.
when Tim Britton, Student Body
President here, left for a quiet
Thanksgiving hoUday with rela
tives in Mexico City, he had no
idea that, on his return, his birth
and citizenship would be question
ed.
But they were, and Tim almost
adopted ‘‘I Can Never Go Home
Anymore” as his theme song.
Tim departed from Charlotte on
a private DC-7 along with 80 fellow
members of Carolina Vagabonds
headed for Mexico on November
22. Upon arrival in Mexico City,
he left the group and spent an
enjoyable five days vrith his Mex
ican relatives.
On Sunday, November 27, Tim’s
kin returned him to the airport
and found that his plane was in
the process of being repaired.
‘‘At first, I was quite amused
at all those Latin mechanics run
ning around the plane like alot of
ants,” said Tim with a remini
scent air, ‘ ‘but after it took them
four days to fix it, I wasn’t laugh
ing anymore.”
The delay involved having tools
flown down from the States and
much trouble with Mexican offi
cials, It also involved the 80-
strong group’s holing - up in the
lobby of the Hotel Monte Cassino
and the problem of getting clean
laundry and the problem of runn
ing out of money and the problem
of eating some gastronomically
deadly Mexican foods and the pro
blem of etc., etc.
Finally Tim was able to vacate
the south - of - the - border
paradise for Charlotte on Dec
ember 1, Upon landing in Char
lotte, however, he discovered he
had left his tourist card, pass
port, and vaccination certificate
with his Mexican relatives,
‘‘I was literally in quarantine
here in the U.S.A. until I could
certify my citizenship; have ano
ther vaccination- and explain to
the authorities _iat even though
my mother was Mexican, I wasn’t
any iess a U. S. citizen,” Tim
expiained.
‘‘I was kept 24 hours at Douglas
Airport until my mother brought
out my birth certificate,” he said.
Although his return was rocky,
Tim says he won’t iet it mar
the fond memories of his Mex
ican holiday. Besides the trip
home, nothing went wrong except
when he decided to tcike in a bull
fight only to learn that the Bull
fighters Union was on strike. On
his way back from the arena, he
heard the Tijuana Brass on the
radio and the song they were
playipg^ was ‘‘The Lonely Bull”.
