WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9, 1052 THE DAILY TAR. HEEL PAGE SEVEN Scaooaoa By Grady Elmore Beating the United States and other large countries in the re cent Winter Olympics was of lit tle importance to Norwegians. What mattered was. "we. licked the Swedes,' says Agnar Mykle. Mykle was the only Scandana-vian-born expert on the YMCA supper-forum panel discussing Scandanavia in Lenoir hall Mon day night. Barry Farber, and Ann and Jim Roberts served as the other experts, A native of Oslo, Norway, guitar-player and puppetmaster Mykle spoke concerning the dif ferences between the countries of Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Fin land, and Iceland. Farber based his qualifications for the panel upon his two months service in the Norwegian mei chant marine and six months at tendance at the University of Oslo. He reviewed Norway's his tory in World War II, then dis cussed the people's sentiments to wards the king. The Roberts, who recently re turned from Sweden where they were students and Ann doubled as a housewife, spoke of Sweden's neutrality and the living stand ards in that country. Norway, for a long time united with Sweden and considered be low Denmark's level of interna tional repute, delights in showing up her neighbors now, Mykle said, although the Scandanavians are almost like brothers. There are some differences in the nationalities,- he stated. "The Swedes are somewhat stuffy and formal, while the Danes have a continental air of gaiety, and the Norwegians en joy an adventurous life, very close to the sea," Mykle related. Farber, going into the history of Norway, pointed out that the king is not a native Norwegian. "When Norway went into busi ness for itself about 1905, it im ported a king from Denmark and held a national election for ap proval of the monarch," he , said. "The king's Hooper rating was boosted during the war when he personally led troops against the Germans on horseback." Ann Roberts dispelled the pop ular conception of tall, blond haired characteristics of these people 'There are no racial dis tinctions, no distinctive appear ance," she said.. "Usually, how ever, they have a blond complexion- even though their hair is black or brown." Jim Roberts gave two reasons for Sweden's neutral policy: by following such a policy they help to keep Finland out of Russia's grasp; and Sweden's neutrality has no actual bearing upon its de fense since Norway and Denmark joined the Atlantic Pact, because Sweden must be protected in order to safeguard those two na tions, y - "Even though- these countries have every reason to fear Russia," said Jim, "their fear is more con trolled than it is in the United States.1 Communists, Mykle added, are a very small group in Scandan avia: there are none in the Nor wegian parliament today, for in stance1. Socialism in Scandanavia was commented upon by Mykle and Jim Roberts. ''Although the people re intense individualists, they recognized a necessity for social ism, or .colectivism," Roberts stated. , ' ..... There ; is no ' fear of govern-, DEC ment controls," Mykle opined. "Scandanavians would not stand for too much domination." The government simply finances a pro ject, and does not exercise strong control, over such undertakings, he said. After the opening song' session of Scandanavian tunes, led by Mykle and Jim Roberts, the panel discussion, and a question period, Mykle exhibited several puppets clothed in native costumes of the countries. Chairman Dick Hartung of the YMCA World R elatedness Com mission, sponsors of the regular Monday night . supper-forum, closed the program with an an nouncement of a meeting of the commission at 5 p.m. tomorrow in the YMCA.
