The chase sped acrosL the campus toward South building, Sam in the lead, the workmen next, the two officers bringing up the rear, and students joining in along the way. At this stage of the game Officers Blake and Herndon came driving east ward through the campus on Cameron avenue in an attempt to head Sam off. They might have done so if he hadn't hopped on the back of an east bound truck as soon as he hit Cameron avenue. The truck went down the hill past Carr dormitory with am clinging to the tailboard and the police car fol lowing along behind. The truck turned into the Emerson field road beyond the med building, and in so doing it threw Sam off. He jumped to . his feet and ran through the upper quadrangle toward the tennis courts.

UNIVERSITY PRESS PUBLISHES NOVEL Mrs. Harris Writes Of East Carolina "The common purslane (pusley, U. S.) is an annual . . . used as a pot herb, for salads. ..." Thus, Webster defines the title of Bernice Kelly Harris' first novel, "Purslane" which, incidentally, is the first novel ever to be published by the University Press, and which has just been officially released. Mrs. Harris, a native of the section of which she writes, has described the eastern North Carolina "folks," who were "pusley" to their city-dwelling relatives. She has also described the "po' white trash," who were in turn "pusley" to the ordinary, every-day people with which the book is mainly concerned. The book tells of revival meetings, of weddings, of country Christmases, of ball games on Sunday afternoon, of baptizings, of an eclipse, of burials, of hog killings, of tobacco curing, of corn husking, of an excursion, of coon hunt ing, and 'all the tidbits of the entire book add up to make it seem like daily life. If the reader has not been in the section, he receives a view , of a much pbscured subject.
