"No person, in my mind, is more i concerned with the inconsistent de- sions in our judiciary than in David Grigg. The question that remains is how tc dispose of such decision mak ing, and I, for one, am not too sure that all of our Student Legislators have the ultimate answer in mind.

There were the comments of Sus an Ross and Robert Foxworth fol lowing yesterday's announcement that they are the receipients of the 1960-61 Gottingen scholarship. "In return I hope that at the same time I can extend some of the spirit that is Carolina to the students of Goettingen Universi ty," Miss Ross added.

Foxworth, a PiKA, is a junior, pre-law major, former cheerleader, member of the track team and an honor student. He is from Raleigh. Miss Ross, a first semester sen ior from Pittburgh, Pa., is a poli tical science major and member of the student legislature. She helped during the recent International Em phasis Week. Two students from Carolina and Goettingen are exchanged each year as part of a cultural ex change. This is the sixth exchange and the competition has grown to 27 appli cants this year.

Each college gives its students $450 and the host school pays tui tion and room and board. Students will return to UNC for at least one year after the German trip for work with the International Relations department.

CROMARTIE Rodney Crowther, Washington cor respondent for .the Baltimore Sun, relumed to the Old North State yes terday and reminisced about an old friend, Thomas Wolfe, whom he met when he worked on th-3 Ashe ville Citizen. Crowther, who will speak to the Faculty Club today, left the Ashe ville paper in 1929 to become Fi nancial Editor of the Baltimore Eve ning Sun. Twice chief of the Lon don bureau of the Morning Sun, he has been attached to the Washing ton office for 20 years. The Tom Wolie that Crowther knew was a man "desperately in a hurry." He says he believes that the author, who died at the age of 37, sensed somehow that his life would be a short one. "He was a huge man; he walked like a bear." This was the Wolie who said to Crowther shortly after meeting him, "'I want you to see where ihe Angel got its name." A few years la.er, Crowther met Wolie again in New York. They boarded a subway, got off and walk ed to Wolte's basement room in Brooklyn. As they passed ovv-r the Brooklyn Bridge, a dog 'harked, and Wone remarked that he must write a novel someday entitled "Hounds of Darkness." He never wrove that book. A train whistle broke through the city night's silence, and the author remembered the seven ech(s cf an Asheville train he used to listen for. Crowther recalls a luncheon date in 1936 with Wolfe and H. L. Men CKen, another newspaperman long connected with the Baltimore Sun papers. Wolfe and Mencken, devotees of Vienna, ta.lked about the Austrian city while Crowther listened atten tively. Aiterward, Mencken, who calieJ Woife's work "trash" said, '"That fellow Wolfe, he's got some thing ... as a human being, he's fascinating." Wolfe told Crowther of his am bition to write a series of novels on "The Epic of America" in "terms cf people." He spoke of the difficulty of the task, since his past works had been his remembrances; his future ones would be the remem brancs of other men. He hoped to begin with a Civil War novel centered around ma terial found in the story Chicka mauga. The author of "Look Homeward Angel" was hu;t by ihe viulent re ception his novels received, ac cording to Crowther, and always said, "I had no intention of ever hurting a soul." The friend of the author said he believes that Wolfe's greatest con tribution to the American scene was the "characters portrayed and the language in which he portrayed them." Many have painted Wolfe as a drunkard. Crowther says, "The truth of the matter is, Wolfe could go on the wagon and stay there for months work did this but when he did fall off, he fell hard." Wolfe wanted to be a dramatist, but had difficulty in plotting. He j Wolfe and reported to Crowther and couldn't "follow the rules," says j .he Sun staff, "no hope." Wolfe he correspondent. died the next day. "Tom, you know, was a great talker. The wordj just rolled and flew," says Crowther. "He was a much greater novelist than peo ple have given him credit for. He was one cf the most gentle and considerate men and always wor ried about others." Crowther tells of Wrolfe's prepara tion to travel West a short time be fore his death. As the working au thor surveyed the manuscripts he had packed to send to his editor at Harper's, he said, "If anything happens to me, Gcd help the man that has to go through this mess." Was this another premonition? A few months later H. L.
