Raleigh Newsman
Ain't Ugly Enough
Charles Craven of The Raleigh
Nrw and Observer has been ruled
"not eligible" to run in the Ugliest
Man on the Campus contest, ac
cording to APO President Handel
Kthf ridge.
Ethrridge told Craven by letter.
"A president of this chapter. I
felt it only fair to tell you that
although you are not eligible to
run. you have been nominated for
the contest by some of your State
College admireri."
Craven said that he "would be
happy to pubhh the picture of the
L'gliest Man right here along with
my own ... if the contrast is flat
tering enough" Craven spoke in
hi column, "Byways of the News,"
in Wednesday's News and Observ
er. The Ugliest Man contest will run
through Friday afternoon. Polls
are maintained every afternoon in
the Scuttlebutt. Y Court and the
Pine Room. A student may vote
as many times as he wishes on the
basis of a penny a vote.
"I understand that some students
are actually running a campaign
for this 'honor'," Ethcridge said.
"All in all the contest are running
quite closely today (Wednesday).
Carolina is fortunate to have so
many unusual forms of humanity."
UMOC will be named early next
week and presented with a suit
ably engraved plaque.
The University Club will open
its membership to any student and
! will provide a check on expendi
tures if Student Legislature
passes a bill with new by laws for
the club.
The bill will lie introduced by
Dave Jones, president of the Uni
versity Club and SP members of
j the Legislature, at tonight's session.
Tiie proposed new by-laws for its
; operation in the future were dis-

of the University Club.
A revision committee composed
of several members of the club
who were interested in setting it
on a sound basis met several times
during the last week and drew up
a proposed set of by-laws. Max Co
ley, UC representative from Lewis
Dorm, served as secretary for the
committee.
The new governing rules for the
club were read to the membership
at Tuesday's meeting. They were
then gone over a section at a time
with minor revisions being propos
ed and voted from the floor.
The new rules won unanamous
approval from the body. They must
be approved by the Student Legis
lature before they can take fefect.
"We worked hard and gave a
great deal of study to some of the
problems that h?ve faced the Uni
versity Club in the recent past,"
said club President Dave Jones.
"We now have two classes of mem
bership that allows anyone to take
part in club activities to any ex
tent he wants, and still represent
the interest of his dorm or house."
Jones also said that the new
by-laws define more carefully the
duties and responsibilities of club
officers and places a three-way
check on all expenditures.
The new by-laws will be intro
duced as a bill at the first session
of the 27th assembly of Student
Legislature.
Lecturer
Praises
Spaniard
By WILLIAM G. FRIEDRICH
Prof. John E. Keller of the De
partment of Romance Languages,
featured speaker for the final Hu
manities Division Faculty Lecture
Tuesday niht. said that Juan Ruiz,
archpriest of Hita, might well be
one of the all-time greats of Span
ish literature.
Ruiz, known as the "Spanish
Chaucer," lived in the 14th cen
tury and wrote the "Book of Good
Love." Keller said Ruiz has also
been called the Spanish Homer
and the Spanish Boccaccio, but he
does not approximate either of
these writers as closely as he does
the English poet.
Prof. Keller said Juan Ruiz lacks
.Chaucer's depth and dignity, but
he compensated for this realism
and franknes which the great Eng
lishman never managed to capture.
I'rot. Keller, who received nis
Ph.D. here in 194G, stated that
Spanish historian? claim Chaucer
read the "Book of Good Ive" and
that he traveled in Spain and was
a member of the forces that in
vaded the Peninsula in support of
Henry of Trastamara against Peter
the Cruel.
According to Spanish critics, Kel
ler enumerated, there are three
summits: the "Quixote" in the nov
el, the "Celestina" in the dramatic
and the Book of uood Love in
the lyric, satiric and dramatic.
"Ruiz's book is as universay in Its
appeal s the 'Canterbury Tales,'
but its failure to reach us is due
to the fact that there is no readily
available translation of all 7,000
odd quatrains," admitted Dr. Kel
ler. Little is known of Ruiz except
for what he reveals in his book.
His birth place is uncertain, and
it was once believed that he spent
13 years in prison where he wrote
the "Book of Good Love."

After three days of sharp, some

In the Phi debate, Rep. Dave
Matthews, who is president pro tern
and chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee of the Phi, de
fended the bill.
Matthews supported his stand by
citing thegre at cost of supporting
illegitimate children by state and i
county agencies and explained that
many of the "unfortunate" children
became delinquents and criminals.
He also commented that the
threat of sterilization would make
women more conscious of their
legitimate children. He also called
for rehabilitation for violations of
society morals.
Rep. Glenn Johnson, also speak
ing against the bill, said religious
groups are opposed to the Jolly
Davis proposal because "they real
ize sterilization is not truly a cor
rective measure, but a punitive
one."
Johnson advocated a "stricter mo

permanent rectification for the
problem. "As long as our society
condones illegitimacy, we will have
the problem with us. One cannot
legislate morals."

AUGUSTA, Ga., April i5--Cancer forced John Foster
Dulles to resign today as Secretary of State. A sad, moist-eyed
President Eisenhower announced Dulles' decision at a dra
matic news conference.
The vacationing President said he had not finally made
up his mind regarding a successor to the 71 -year-old cabinet
member. He promised to filled the post "as quickly as prac
ticable," and reports continued both here and in Washington
that Under-Secretary Christian Herter, fi.j, is the most likely
choice.
In a voice betraying his emotion,
Eisenhower told a small group of
newsmen that Dulles now is "incap
acitated for carrying on the admin
istrative load" of his offcie, "in ad
dition to assisting in the making of
policy."
The President actually said "absol
utely incapacitated," but he later
sent word to reporters that he had
not intended to use the word "absol
utely." It then was deleted from the
official White House transcript.
Eisenhower said at the conference
that the latest medical lindings on
Dulles' condition "are not of the
kind that make him helpless." And
he announced he is keeping Dulles
on as a consultant on foreign policy.
Cancer Spread To Neck
Dulles' doctors concluded in Wash
ington yesterday that his cancer
probably had spread to the neck. A
February examination disclosed ab
dominal cancer and Dulles under
went radiation treatments.
For the past several days he had
suffered neck pain. That caused him
to return to Washington Sunday from
Florida," where he had been rest'ng.
He re-entered Walter Reed Army
Hospital.
Eisenhower conferred with Dulles
for 45 minutes there Monday and 1
reportedly urged his good friend not
to make any hasty decision.
This morning reporters covering
the President's vacation headquar
ters were alerted by White House
press secretary James C. Hagerty
to be on hand for a 9:45 a.m. news
conference. They were net told
Eisenhower would be there but the
quick arrival of Secret Service
agents foreshadowed his appearance.
"'hat I have to say concerns Sec
retary Dulles," Eisenhower an
nounced solemnly a moment after
striding into the hotel press room.
Facing a hastily set up battery of
cameras and floodlights, the Presi
dent added:
"I had a (telephone) conversation
this morning with him, and in view
of the findings the doctors have
made yesterday, he has definitely
made up his mind to submit his re
signation."

Berlin Series
Begins On TV
"Berlin ana the Future of Ger
many will De discussed on uriei-
ing Session," a new series begin
ning Saturday at 6 p.m. on WUNC-
rV, Channel 4.
Guests for this week's program
will be Telford Taylor, chief coun
sel for the prosecution at the Nu
remberg Trials, and Wilson Hall,
N.B.C. correspondent. They will
ive their views on such pressing
questions as, "Can the Berlin Cris
is Lead to War?" and 'What Com
promises or Alternative Policies
Are Possible for Berlin?"
Edward W. Barrett, dean of the
Graduate School of Jurnalism at
Columbia University, is host and !
moderator for "Briefing Session."
The 13-week series is offered by
WUNC-TV in cooperation with the
National Educational Television
ind Radio Center, in an effort to
bring before the public some of the
ital foreign and domestic issues
'acing U. S. policy makers.
In coming weeks, some of the
topics to be covered include "How
Much Defense Can We Afford?",
"The Challenge of the Soviet Ec
onomy," "Inflation It Costs and
Causes," "Automation and Unem
oloyment" and "The Reason Be
hind Racial Antagonism."
CHRISTIAN A. HERTER
It was at the point Eisenhower
said Dulles is incapacitated for the
top State Depair.nent job but not
helpless and so:
"I have asked him to remain as
my consultant, and I will appoint
him to some office that makes it
possible for him to be useful both
to the State Department and to me."
Eisenhower, his emotion showing
clearly, went on:
"I personally believe he has filled
his olfice with greater distinction
and greater ability than any other
man our country has known a man
of tremendous character and cour
age, intelligence and wisdom.
No Decision On Successor
"With respect to a possible suc
cessor, no final decision has been
made, and I will let you people know
as quickly as it is practicable."
The fact that Eisenhower did not
immediately announce a successor
caused some surprise. There had
been widespread expectation he
would promptly name Herter, who
has been acting secretary since
February.
Herter already has been picked
to represent the United States at a
western foreign ministers" confer
ence in Paris starting April 29.
In response to a question today,
Eisenhower said that Herter even
if he does not become Secretary
will be on hand when the Western
ministers meet with Russia's minis
ter at Geneva May 11. The Presi
dent explained:
