it FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1952 THE DAILY TAR HEEL PAGE TKR m m I ! : 1 1 I , ' - I- ', i . ,B Shows - s Way "The Glob" by Walt Kelly and John O'Reilly, Viking Press, New York, 1952. $1.50. If you would care to take your ancient history in Pogo doses, The Glob should be your text. The publisher - describes the book as "a short, humorous fable of man's origin and evolution. It appeals to a wide variety of adults and young people." Interest in the book has been widespread, and Life Magazine (February 18, 1952) ran a condensed version with many of the illustrations. More outstanding than the prose, is the illustration done by Walt Kelly, author of the comic strip Pogo which appears in 233 newpapers. It is these drawings which give The Glob its-adult attraction. They reflect the spirit and feeling of the story with per fection. . . The prose done by John O'Reilly has been termed as both subtle and satirical, but it is largely suited for children and is short of any deep or underlying mean ing. O'Reilly, a newspaperman of experience now with the New York Herald Tribune, originally invented the story to amuse his children. The hero, the Glob, is a particle of protoplasmic jelly drifting "to" and "fro" on the "early seat" in the beginning of the book, and metamorphisizes into a strong healthy cave man who utilizes fire and clothing for his benefit. The story ends with the Glob leading his people from their worn out valley to greener fields. Instead of chapters, the story is divided into eons. , At its best The Glob is a won derful book for children. To them it will be amusing and also in forming as to the evolution of the homo sapiens. Adults will like the droll and homely illustra tions, and perhaps parents will recognize in it the growing up stages of their own children. O.

Doubleday and Co., New York, 1952, 288 pp. $3. The coal field area of Davies' native Wales is the background for this unusual story about the sensitive emotional attachments between twin sisters, Marianne and Barbara. A psychological novel dealing with the complexities of a wo man's thinking, "Marianne" deals with the somewhat sheltered twin daughters of a middle class Welsh couple. Marianne slips away secretly, has an affair with an unknown man, and becomes preg nant. She refuses to name the child's father, has no interest in having the child, and does not follow the doctor's orders. As she is dying in childbirth, she whispers his name to Barbara. Barbara is determined to find the man and ruin him to avenge her sister. Keeping her plan from her friends and parents, she finds Goeffrey Roberts who was "simply a healthy, - handsome young animal, nothing more." Be cause Marianne masqueraded un der a false name and because Barbara had changed her hairdo, she is not surprised when Roberts detects no resemblance. She marries Roberts although her pa rents disapprove violently . and calmly and coldbloodedly sets out to ruin her new husband. Roberts is -completely bewildered and never understands his wife's strange behavior. Although the book has a rather slow start, it gains momentum as Barbara puts her plan into action. Everything ends satisfactorily in a tragic finale that has a strange twist. Davies has written nine novels and six short stories published in England. A novel, "The Dark Daughters" and a volume of stories, "The Boy With The Trumpet" have been published in this country J.L.. concerning the college adminis tration. They are awaiting the decision of this self-appointed board of justice now. The secrecy, explained the presiding trustee Judge Wilson Warlick, was to protect the rights of the "accus ed." No decision has, as yet, been released by the board. nr msm-u i if II VY 'POINTS X I I X" I V J II Witness' What in the world do they take up for anyway? The second chapter of Whittak er Chambers' book, "I Was The Witness," appearing in the Feb ruary 16, issue of The Saturday Evening Post was written for the most credulous of fifth grade students or is sadly lacking in its persuasiveness. " The plot has thickened some what since last week's chapter (the first ) but it proves only to bog. down the reader with its thickness rather than interest him. Though the plot thickens, the same story prevails. It is the sad, sad tale of a youth growing up in the insecurity of this world of ours (Chambers grew up in the United States the most insecure nation in the world) and how he blossomed in to an avid fan of security sup porters' the communists. He pic tures himself as an average American student attending Col umbia University. He is confus ed as is all youth during those hectic pre-manhood days. He comes from a family in which conflict became the dinner guest. He later mentions that through out his normal childhood he slept peacefully- with a knife under pillow. His mother was normal too. She only kept an ax in her closet. Chambers recalls how his fa ther would be taken away in the election wagon every election day fo vote the strict Republican ticket.

In the third chapter (February 23 issue) Chambers is trying not to cry alone. It appears that many of his former friends have trusted too heavily upon his friendship and now their necks are being beared to public opin ion. .. Writing such as Chambers has .done is valuable when it is not designed for gaining sympathy. He has uncovered a lot of infor mation which would never meet the public eye, but the not too careful reader may .be duped by his obscurity and pettiness. J.
