"Curly " Is Eyesight For
Blind Student On Campus
Safety Of C. B. Alexander
Entrusted To Seeing Eye
Dog, A Faithful Retriever
By EDITH GUTTERMAN
' "Curly" is eyesight for a man
without eyes. She is a golden
brown Chesapeake Bay retriever
with powerful muscles, the com
bined instincts of her Newfound
land retriever, and has blood
hound ancestors, an affectionate
nature, and an intelligence quo
tient of 63 out of a possible 65.
She is large enough and strong
enough to direct the movements
of a man. She must. For Curly
has been entrusted with the
safety of a blind man, a student
on this campus. She is a Seeing
Eye dog.
No less remarkable than Curly
is her master, Dr. C. B. Alex
ander, a student of Social Work
at North Carolina. Deprived of
one eye at the age of three, and
totally blind a few years later,
he took his A. B. at Davidson,
and later studied for his M. A.
and Ph. D. degrees at this Uni
versity. He taught history for
five years at Rutherford and
was head of his department for
years at Catawba. More lately
become interested in the welfare
of his fellow blind, he joined the
State Commission for the Blind
three years ago and is at present
studying to fill the requirements
of the United States Employ
ment Service.

Stubborn Stude
North Carolina Family Has
Formed Library Dynasty
Here Since 1929
By SANFORD STEIN
An unsuspecting but well-
meaning student came up to the
main circulation desk of the li
brary a short time ago and asked
to speak to Freeman. He didn't
know his first name, but it was
important that he see him.
"That's him there," someone
said, pointing to a man emerg -
ing from the stacks. "No," an
swered the student in a decided
ly puzzled voice, "that isn't
Freeman."
Someone suggested that he
try the reference room. Dutiful
ly, the student did as he was
told and asked the same ques
tion. "Oh, there he is," he was
informed, "standing by the En
cyclopedia Britannica." The stu
dent looked, then cried with a
heartbreaking sob, "THAT
ISN'T HIM, EITHER." And,
thereupon, he dashed downstairs
and bumped right into the arms
of the Freeman he wanted.
