Students Back
From Cincinnati
Military Meet
Three Carolina seniors, Harry
Pawlik, Bob James and Harvey
Bradshaw, travelled to Cincinnati
last week for a three-day conven
tion of the National Society of
Scabbard and Blade, military hon
or organization.
Headquarters for the gathering
was located at the Sheraton-Gibson
Hotel, with the University of
Cincinnati as host company. Col
onel Alexander E. Lawson, nation
al commander of Scabbard and
Blade, presided over the formal
opening and all but 11 of the 120
member companies had delegates
present.
Representatives from Army, Air
Force and Naval ROTC depart
ments spoke to the convention, the )
twenty-sixth since the Society's
founding in 1905.
"I believe the convention was
extremely beneficial to all the
attending delegates," said Brad
shaw, captain of UNC's L Company
of the 8th Regiment and official
campus delegate to the gathering.
"I found it very enlightening to
sit down in discussion groups with
the officers who run our outfit and
representatives of the companies
that form the national. We picked
up lots of ideas that should im
prove the company here at Caro
lina." Prize-Winning Float Set
Ablaze During Parade
Someone turned "arsonist during
the "beat Dook" parade yesterday.
He set the prize-winning Sigma
Alpha Epsilon float afire in front
of the Post Office as the parade
proceeded down Franklin Street,
according to SAE Webb Sherrfll.
Sherrill, who was riding on the
float said he "turned around and
saw a man from another fraterni
ty" touch a burning match to one
side of the float and then make
away through the crowd.
The fire was extinguished by a
chemical gun borrowed from a
nearby store alter "extensive dam
age" to one side of the float.
Sherrill, who designed the float,
said, "We know who he was and
what fraternity he is in. Wc will
expect an apology to be forth com
ing, not only to us but to Chapel
Hill. There were a lot of pepole,
including quite a few school kids,
who could have been hurt."
The fraternity to which the of
fender belonged did not enter a
float in the parade, said Sherrui

. . . No Scarlet O'Hara Running Up And Down Stairs'
By Leslie Scott
The modern novel "a literary,
reflection of life as we now see
if was discussed by four of
the men who write them at a
meeting of the English Club
Monday night.
A panel of Chapel Hill au
thors, Phillips RusseTl, Noel
"Houston, James Street and Man

subject around among them for
three hours. Russell moderated
the discussion.
As to the "modern" part of
the literature, Houston said,
"Actually 'the novel changes
only in the speed of life. The
modern reader wants faster read
ing material"

Modern Novel Gets Going Over From Quartet Of Authors
question of Freudian psychology
and its effect on the modern
jiovel. The foursome agreed that
the German's revolutionary ideas
have added to writing, but in
many cases bad writing. .
"It has aided the author," said
Houston, "as the reader is now
willing to receive what the au
thor is talking about."
A pair of controversial novels,
"From Here to Eternity" and"
"Forever Amber," often were
mentioned in the authors' discis
sion of "toughness" in the mod
ern novel.
Defending this toughness,
Wellman said that novels are
about life, "and life is a tough
and frightening thing." Houston
clarified the situation by saying

UNC Revisited
i
)
By Dean Of
MexicoCollege
A Tar Heel turned "Mexicano"
came to town yesterday, carrying
under his arm a big package of
literature about an American
school in Mexico.
The visitor a Carolina graduate
of 1937 was Dr. John Elmendorf.
The school is Mexico City College,
where he is dean.
vr. HJmenaort is a man witn a
mission. He's on a tour of col
leges on the United States eastern
seaboard with a view toward find
ing prospective "estudiantes in
migrantes" immigrant students.
He walked about the Carolina
campus yesterday renewing ac
quaintances with old classmates,
among them a colleague in the
education profession, UNC Dean
of Students Fred Weaver.
After graduating from Carolina,
Dr. Elmendorf first went to Mex
ico to work with the United States
State Department's Mexican
American Cultural Institute. He
came back to Chapel Hill in 1946,
married a coed named Mary Lind
say, and then departed South
again in 1950, this time carrying
along a Ph.D. degree.
He talks enthusiastically about
his school in Mexico. "It was
founded," he says, "in the belief
that every United States student
who is able should spend at least
one year of study outside hi? coun
try. . . . Mexico is nearby, and
relatively inexpensive."
Mexico City College, he said,
teaches courses in English. Nine
ty-five percent of the students are
American. They live, by and large,
in Mexican homes. There are pres
ently about 600 undergraduates,
about half of whom are coeds a
better ratio than prevails at Caro
lina. The school concentrates on lib
eral arts studies; its forte is an
internationally famous art depart
ment. Graduate courses are of
fered in anthropolgoy, creative
writing, economics with an em
phasis on international trade, His
panic languages and literatures,
history, and political science.
The school requires one year of
philosophy for an undergraduate
degree.
"Living expenses," . Dr. Elmen
dorf pointed out, "amount to much
less than in the United States."
Tuition is $105 per quarter, other
expenses come to a total of about
$80 a month. Beer, for example
and the dean insists its better beer
than one can buy on Franklin
Street is seven cents per glass.
Dr. Elmendorf said yesterday
he'll be back in Chapel Hill in De
cember. that a novel with a purpose isn't
tough, no matter what words it
uses, but those without a pur
pose are just crude.
The discussion then broadr
ened into the philosophies of
life that the authors held.
Street stated, much to the
amusement of the audience, that
"Life isn't Scarlet O'Hara run
ning up and down stairs." He
went on to say tfiat man is
more cruel than any animal and
that he is capable of "terrible
things." He added that the mod
ern novelist should show how
man can overcome these traits..
"There is a tendency in novels
toward .despair," said Wellman.
"Despairing novels usually don't
make great books," he explained.

Annual Float Parade And Pep Rally
Team Rides Fire Truck;
Rally Is A 'Whooper'
By Fred Powledge
Last night's pep rally, the last
of the year, turned out to be a
"whooper," just as Head Cheer
leader Jim Fountain expected.
Over a thousand people walked
and rode in, outside and on top
of cars from the Woollen Gym
starting point to Franklin Street,
where they congregated in front
of the Carolina Coffee Shop," where
Fountain and part of the Univers
ity Band , were holding forth.
Rolls of toilet paper cut through
the air, were caught," and . thrown
again. Long strands of the white
stuff wound down from telephone
ires. One fellow with a plaid beret
was collecting the papery wrapping
it around his neck and trailing
it from his pockets.
Yelling that could be heard for
blocks suddenly stopped and thela
rose again when a fire truck, bewar
ing members of the football team
and Coach George Barclay, rolleS
down Franklin Street, siren blar
ing and red lights blinking.
Four Carolina students were ar
rested last night after the rally
on charges of displaying beer in a
public . place, and were placed !
under $25 bond each. Eugene M.
Clark, B. W, West, Charles H.
Hambright, and Charles Causey
were the offenders.
Others arrested last night were
J. A. Rousseau who was charged j stitutions of higher learning un
with disobeying an officer, and der a single administration. He

His bond is $200. ' (See COMMISSION ' page ;4)
Want Support
Not Vandalism
Barclay Says
Coach George Barclay yesterday
called for a vandalism-free week
end as reports of the traditional
Duke-UNC shenanigans were al-Palsy-
Foundation freshman bene
ready in the air.
With two games, the Cerebral
fit on Thursday and the tradi
tional Tar Heel-Blue Devil grid
iron duel on Saturday, both col
leges are on the lookout for rep
etition of the vandalism- that has
marked the game for decades.
At one time the big weekend
was a signal for Chapel Hill and
Durham merchants to board up
display windows and for the state
patrol to send out extra detach
ments. More recently, however,
students of both schools have been
more restrained and sensible.
Barclay pointed out that shenan
igans are all right, up to a point",
but vandalism is something else.
We want your support," he said,
'and need your enthusiasm, but
let's cut out the vandalism."
Kenan Stadium field was Ham-
aged a few nights ago when Duke
lettering was 'burned on the cen
ter of the gridiron. Newspapers
carried a report a few weeks earl
ier of similar mutilation being in
flicted on the Duke field with let
ters spelled out in salt.
"It is the novels with despairing
situations, but with a ray of
hope that make great pieces of
literature."
Next, Russell introduced the
subject of sex into the debate
with the question, "Are modeiff
novels too sexy?'"
Street asserted his position
immediately. He said, "Sex, over
a long time won't sell novels.
There is not too Auch sex, but"
too many bad books with sex
in them."
Weliman, on the other hand,
said, "I think there is too much
deliberate " sex in the modern
novel." He complained that edi-.
tors and publishers feel that sex
is a necessity in selling a book.
Street added humor to the dis

Houston said, "The novel rests
on conflict. There is no greater
conflict than that between men
and women."
The woman's place in the field
of writing was the next topic
introduced by moderator Russell.
"Writing is the only form of
art where women can compete,"
said Street, "and I don't like it"
Houston said he was "fascinated
and frightened" by the modern
woman. He gave amusing ac
counts of stories he had read in
women's magazines written by
women, which caused some of
the ladies in the audience to par
