Recent Book
Traces North
, By BUCK PAYSOUR
If your girl gossips a lot, have
you ever wondered what she would
have found to talk about if she had
lived in pre-Civii War North Caro
lina? You don't need to wonder any
more.
A UNC professor has partly an
swered that question in a recently-published
book, Tarheel Talk. Al
though the author, Dr. Norman E.
Eliason, did not write about gossip
ing as such, you can read the book
and find out just what gossiping
consisted of in early North Caro
lina. Tarheel Talk is devoted to trac
ing the history of words and the
contributions which North Caro
linians have made to the language
of today. .
According to the book, if your
wife had lived in early North Ca
rolina she would have leaned over
the rail fence and said something
like this to her neighbor:
"Don't say anything about it, but
I hear Hank Doe is back in the
mud. He bleated to Saspirilla while
they were a 'figuring on the
boards, you know."
HAD CONNIPTIONS
' Then in a low, confidential,
voice, she would have added,
"When he bleated to her he had
already done a right smart of boot
licking to her papa; He fs right
well off, you know. But after it
was done, he'found that he was in
a box'. Saspirilla wouldn't even let

Students graduating this semes

Line, Supply, and Aviation O. C.

ing.
Medical Schol students or those
accepted and within six months
of entering Medical School may
apply for the Navy Medical Corps.
This program allows the student
to complete his schooling and then
intern at a Navy Hospital as a Lt.
(j.g.) with full pay for one year
followed by two additional years
on active duty.
Any student with 60 or more
semester hours may apply for the
Naval Aviation Cadet program.
Multitudes
First University Inhabitants
By THOMAS BYRD
Few students, but a multitude of
chinches' inhabited the campus,
during the first years of UNC
operation. At least this is the de
scription given in the letters and
diaries of early Carolina students
now on exhibition in the Library!
The oldest letter in the exhibi
tion was written in 1795 by John
Pettigrew to his father. In this
neatly written letter Pettigrew ex-

boys. This started him to groging
a lot, and he began having connip
tions and as I say, they say he's
now back in the mud."
; According to the appendix of
the book, these words would be
translated into atomic age talk
something like this:
. Bleated proposed..
Figuring dancing.
Boards dance floor.
Boot-licking apple-polishing, ca
tering to.
Conniptions fits, hysteria.
Box a predicament.
Corn-Shucking a '..party where
corn is shucked.
Gorging drinking.
In the mud unmarried.
TRANSLATION
In "other words, this is about
what your wife would have been
saying in modern language:
"I hear Hank Doe is not married
any more. When he proposed to
Saspirilla, they were dancing on
the dance-floor. Before he propos
ed to her, however, he had done
quite a bit of apple-polishing to
her father since he was quite wea
lthy. But after he had proposed
to Saspirilla, he found that he was
in a predicament. She wouldn't ev
en let him go corn-shucking with
the boys. He started drinking a
lot, and he pitched a lot of fits.
In writing Tarheel Talk, Dr. Eli
ason examined thousands of old
letters, journals, bills -receipt, re
cord books and other writings.
He found that North Carolinians
have done much to enrich and co
lor the. language of today.

Of 'Chinches Were
plained that' only three other
"scholars" were then attending the
University..
In another letter two years later
Pettigrew, in a much deteriorated
handwriting, expressed his desire
to leave the University. He explain
ed his decision by saying: "The
'chinches' or what we call 'Sabines'
have increased and multiplied and
become so numerous that in recefit
engagements they have quite de

phrases as "Scarce as hen's teeth,"
was by North Carolinians. -
The' nation as a whole owes
North Carolinians a debt of grati
tude. or example, what would bar
tenders call a "Tom and Jerry"
if some Tarheel had not given the
drink a name?
UNC CLAIM
Dr. Eliason also indicates that it
is possible that residents of the
state might have been the first to
describe the person who has had
too many Tom and Jerries. The
word "tight," Dr. Eliason said in
the book, may have first been used
for the word drunk at UNC.
The professor ' also explores a
number of other interesting ques
tions about the history of lang
uage. ' He tells of the contribution that
the Negro has made, explains the
significance of the various dialects
and tells of the background - of
spelling, pronunciation . and gram
mar. . .
The book traces the use of these
aspects of language from the time
of North Carolina's settlement in
the 17th Century up through the
middle of the 19th Century.
Tarheel Talk was published by
the University Press.

The tenter of attention of the
eve of the election was the em
battled 10th Congressional Dis
trict, where the Democrats have
gone all-out in their fight to cap
ture the seat now held by Repub
lican Rep. Charles R, Jonas, and
where the Republicans have fought
just as hard to keep Jonas in
Congress.
Democrats of Mecklenburg
County held a big rally at Char
lotte to beat the drums for Ben
E. Douglas, former Charlotte
mayor who is running against
Jonas. Rep. Harold D. Cooley,
chairman of the House Agricul
ture Committee, was the principal
speaker at the rally.
Gov. Hodges, who is seeking a
full four-year term in the office
he inherited two years ago upon
the death of Gov. William B. Urn
stead, had been scheduled to make
a final appeal to the voters over
a TV network tonight, However,
his appearance was canceled at
the request of the Democratic Na

needed the time for a national
broadcast.

' If you do decide to continue to

Pettigrew concludes by describ
ing the general college conduct to
his father. He1 mentions the wide

students..
A diary kept by William S. Mul

teachers, fellow students, girls and
Phi and Di Society debates.
A diary kept- by George N.

gives a detail picture of college
life during that period.
TARHEEL TALK
The interesting and amusing ex

of "Tarheel Talk" by Prof. Nor
man E. Eliason. Eliason is a UNC
Professor of English.
Prof. Eliason's book is a his

uage in N. C. to 1860. Most of the
materials for the book and for the

Tests Use
By Schools
The number of schools using
testing services, offered by UNC
has been multiplied by more than
nine in the past three years.
' And the scope of testing, gene
rally, has widened to include men
tal ability, aptitude, preference,
problem check, personality and
other types of examinations.
That was disclosed by Mrs. Lou
ise Peridergraft, head of the school
Tests and Materials Bureau of the
UNC Extension Division, who said
that, some 900 North ' Carolina
schools are "regularly using" tests
from her bureau.
That number compares with
about 100 in 1953 and some 500
in 1954, she said. '
BROADER SCOPF.
' According to Mrs. Pendergraft,
educators are "testing on a much
broader scope" because they have
come to realize "that many factors
other than laziness enter into the
failure of a student to do what is
expected on a particular level."
And they .have broadened this
scope "by using the various men
tal ability tests, aptitudes, prefe
rence records, problem check lists,
personality and interest inventor
ies, as well as the old standby, ac
hievement tests in subject matter."
The bureau head said that tests
help the student "in determining
areas of study and activities most
interesting to him," and to the
teacher "in helping .the student
plan for courses of study toward
possible future occupation."
