The an swer is never. I think quite enough is said without me add ing my limited supply of knowl edge. If I had a penny for every article that came out about Little Rock when it was the hottest thing on the press, I could retire from Carolina and begin my novel. ' It would really never do for Carolina Carrousel to become a political column. First of all, its writer adores, simply adores, the 1 J - -UT s s ? rl Call To Prayer Constitution. It is by far the most far-sighted piece of planning ever set down on paper, it seems to me. I think the Democrats are in dispensable, because all my ances tors were Democrats, but the He publicans are pretty important al so, because if it weren't for them what would our two-party system be? Both parties have had their share of up and downs. A party is popular if its up and in. Like wise it is unpopular if it's down and out. I must confess. I like Ike. If he wasn't criticized for playing golf, he would be ostracized for wearing polka-dotted pajamas, or something. 1 have no sound politi cal reason for liking Ike. I just think he's likeable. Evidently, sev eral other people do, too. As for segregation or integra tion, some people are "fer" one and other people are "agin" one and never the twain shall meet. Integrationists just can't under stand those narrow-minded segre gationists, and v ice-versa. The quickest way to loose friends and not influence people is to argue the plight of Old Black Joe with a member of the KKK. or to extol the assets of the slavery system to a memebr of the N'AACP. So why bother. You know you're right anvw;iy. Shall we give more money to Slohhovia. or shall we cut the slobs ofT? After all they might stab us in the back. Why didn't we shoot a satellite into the air before the big red Russians did? What's the matter with our Su preme Court? I know the answer to none of these questions. I do not have a degree in economics or Law. and I can't even remember the formula for Satellite. Anyone who was looking to Carolina Carrousel for a potpourri of political ser mons had better read Drew Tear son instead. The truth is. I have always loved elephants and donkeys both.

There is a practice going on at the University here that seems to me rather paradoxical. All those students who receive any money from the State of North Carolina through the University, are re quired to sign a loyalty pledge. This includes scholarship holders and self-help students. This pledge says that the undersigned will re main loyal to the Constitution and uphold the state's laws and things like that. It sounds pretty much like you're in the army. What would happen to you if : you refused to sign this thing? It just doesn't ring true to me. The Asiatic flu has accomplished what Darwin Bell and the Vet erans Union couldn't for two years. It has caused the cancella tion of all gym classes this week. It seems to me that it would be a good idea to cancel all classes, if they are going to do away xvith PE. After all. gym class has by far the most healthy atmosphere of any of the courses on this cam pus. Most of the other courses are in stuffy classrooms, just load ed with bacteria, and sneeze drop lets and other unhealthy elements which could cause a major stand still in this place. How to have some fun. When you look over your Yack proofs, sbe very enthusiastic about them. Exclaim and bubble about "how wonderful they are, and then don't buy any. . A poem or two I heard this summer: ' Once I had a little dog, I. loved him like a brother; And then one day my mother said, "He is your little brother." And another one: I saw a girl in a dim cafe. I tried to catch her eye. But it rolled under another table. Little known facts about Wash ington, D. C. for your caravaners.

RAMESES XXI: Some have said that there is a certain amount of chaos in stu dent government's executive branch as a result of one member who is iconoclastic arid" refuses to swallow the old platitudes about keeping things "quiet and easy." Any man xvho speaks his mind openly be he wrong or right is an admirable man. And he should not be coerced and intimi dated and pressured. MARRIAGE think a vwn and woman should choose each other for life, for the simple reason that a long life uith all its accidents is barely enough for a man and a woman to understand each other; and to understand is to love.

They harbor many bores and reveal a few true spirits. They are deliberately unpopular and frequently impossible. Without them we should be far poorer than we are." These words of praise for the still surviving Quar terlies and' Reviews of today were from the poet, critic and teacher, Dudley Fitts, a man of consider able scholastic and literary facility who neverthe less' has retained a warm yet critical affinity for such endeavor - ' When' wt survey the past histories of these publications,' one can well imagine what Mr. Fitts intimated by describing the journals as ' "birds in transit t, wavering ' sometimes in an uncertain age." Some are' hangovers from the experimental Twenties, ethers are 'undoubtedly ephemeral, and stiir others "have the grand cachet of authority." The' Carolina 'Quarterly,' we trust, will remain in the" latter' 'classification.' V' Thursday pasV, "we were invited by the present editor, Christian Lefebure, to sit in on the final meetin? of the' Fiction Board and observe their procedure ' for the selection of short stories. This was' to be their fourth general meeting and the wcrks had to be narrowed ' from an e-en dozen to the final four which would be published in their first issue this fall. The members of the board are hardly what one w-1d call a static, even-tempered or homogenous organization. They range in age from 18 to 25, in scholastic standing from freshman to graduate stu dent, in temperament from a mild romantic to an emphatic iconoclast, male' and female each one a detprmined and expressive individualist. Before the meeting began, one might have sus pected that the Student Legislature were about to convene, for there was a great deal of lobbying. Several of the members had seemingly f taken one or more of the authors and their works -under wing and appeared determined to battle through the night.' They ' gave the impression that' they were r-Hrta a last stand for their own coups de plume. Each rf the stories wa thoroughly dissected, some examples of which follow: WORK ONE: "1 think we should jend this one back for rexision; basically it's a good story, bu the treatment is lacking . ... that's true the begin ning was very slow ... do mountain people actu ally talk like that? ... it seems to go to pieces at the end . . . yes. he seems to taper and then falls flat . . . very poor plotting . . . this one needs a good deal of rewriting." Decision: -Rejected with combined criticisms. WORK TWO: "It's definitely not publishable . . . I think he feeds too much of a western' flax'or into it . . . why not advise him to send it teane of the "pulp" magazines? . . . ha! don't be -mistaken, -that's a hard market to crash . . . well, I think we all will agree that it got corny and isn't the caliber story we are seeking." Decision: Rejection with criticism. WORK THREE: "Now this one seems to be a weird abstraction of Shakespeare . . --Ji liked the xvriting, but wasn't quite sure what she xxas trying to say. ... it looks more like it should be performed rather than read just as a story . . . did anybody find a plot? . . . yes. but it's a little strained and ethereal ... I either didn't understand it or am not qualified to criticize in this case, It would depend too much purely on personal .taste ... is it publishable? . . . well, I like it in r warped sort of a way but xvould hax-e to vote against publica tion . . . she uses some kind of trick to correlate the characters, but they don't quite make it . . . we'll have to reject it." Decision: Rejection xvith complimentary criticism. WORK FOUR: "I think that anybody xvho can take a lizard and a little boy for a subject and end up with a story like this deserves to be published . . . it's a fine storr, although it appears to be a tiny segment of a larger story . . . what's being said: was there a crisis? ... no, it was more of a mood sketch ... I wasn't extremely impressed xvith the xvriting ... oh! how can you say that? ... I think it was delightful . . . (e. could see that many felt this one of the best) . . . literally, it's a child's story, but I felt much loser to it than that ... I feel we ought to publish it : . . me too ... I don't remember the ending . . . read it when it comes out in the Quarterly!" Decision: Accepted for publication. WORK FIVE: "(hissing from one or two) . . . Well I liked it! (lone female dissention) . . . the story was very weird with no good reason for it . . . why did the little child put the snow in his moth er's face? . . . that's symbolic . . . yeah, but of xxhat? . . . (there ensued a very lengthy discussion of symbolism) . . . it's describing something of very little interest to people in the first place . . . it's confusing as to xvhether he likes his mother or father ... it could be rexised, leaving in the snow scene, especially . . . yes, that was a very inter esting and xvell drawn part . . . revise? . . . re vise." Decision: Return with note of criticism and ask to revise. WORK SIX: "Noxv this was a very mature story: the children are very good, but don't you think the mother was slightly overdrawn? . . . No, I think we xvere obviously directed toxvard the children . . . yes, that was the author's intent . . . I just knew the father xvas going to come and then he didn't . . . dammit! . . . one thing disturbed me a little: there seemed to be no people around until the middle of the story . . . well, obviously there were people on the train at Christmas time . . . don't you remember the fellow looking, over her shoulder? . . . it's a very xvell-writfen. story and I feel we should publish it ... I second that . . . (general agreement)." Decision: Accepted for pub lication. This is only a sampling of part of the discussion and criticism. Of the twelve, they finally decided on four and, even though there were a few grunts here and there, most of them were satisfied. We look forward to another fine issue of the Carolina Quarterly, saluting Mr. Lefebure and hi? diligent cohorts.
