Much to the chagrin of those attending, there was no live reading to jazz due to the lack of any local jazz talent. Mr. Rexroth began his reading with a selection that he wrote when he was fifteen years old. From tins point lie wmt on to some more recent works and then to a translation of a French poem which was tape- recorded previ ously with a jjz accompaniment. In response to the question of whether or not he considers him self "beat" or not and what hU leaction was to this general opin ion of him. Mr. Rexroth answer ed. "I am a journalist, and a journalists' main job is to got down below ;i!l the bunk and dig up the farts." to do this. Mr. Rex roth has participated vigorously in the San Fransisco rennaissance in recent years. Mr. Rexroth said that this read ing of poetry to jazz is not any thing new, he has been doing it since 1924 and it stems from ever, earlier types in nearly all forms of music. To illustrate this, he gave seceral examples in music forms ranging from blues to classi eal works. lie stated that he was raised t be an artist and never once did he doubt the fact that he wouh' succeed. After his parents having died while he was still quit oung, Mr. Rexroth went on the road working in all capacities, and educating himself all along. In his selections for the after noon, he included a lament to hi. mother, several poems to his wife and some humorous bits which he had written for his daughter. In conclusion, he read some parodies on French rhymes which be liken ed to "shiproperhymcs" with ; little "sick" touch added.

Randall also announced that or ders have been given tc complete security fencing a.s soon as possible around all areas at Camp Polk occupied by prisoners." The eunip .s located in the midst of a grow ing residential area. Residents of the area went to the courts several months ago in an effort to force the prison department J 4.0 move Camp Polk Prison. This came shortly after a Texas hobo, a ho had just been released from (he prison, was accused of killing a wealthy Raleigh businessman. The drive to get the prison moved A-as intensified last Week when Mrs. Clyde Farnell, wife of a prison rnploye. was fatally stabbed in .ier home near the prison. Officers said there was evidence she had been raped. The killing touched off one of .he most intesive manhunts this area has seen in years.

Randall said that consideration h.id been given to halting extensive construction work now underway at the camp "in view of the fact that a study is in process of being made to determine the advisability of moving Camp Polk." He said, how ever, the main construction work is ncarir.g completion and should be completed, but "no "new construc tion will be started at Camp Polk at this time." 6 Places Still Open In Seminars Abroad Six places are still open for the Y-sponsored Seminars Abroad, Jim Carse announced today.

Symposium Mod erator John Cogley declared that here is still hope for American so ciety, in last night's concluding session of 'the l0 Carolina Sym posium. After hearing a week's speeches m "The Image of Man," Cogley said the basic deficiency of Sym jffered for the problems presented, posium was the lack of solutions Listening to the speeches "with the ears of a student," the for mer editor of "Commonweal Magazine" stated he had received the impression "Homo-American- us 19i;U is something of a slob." "He is over-fed . . . over-satisfied . . . greedy . . . and unconscienably ,)ious . . . although the sword of Joom hangs over him by a thread," ne explained. As Cogley saw it, the two big questions facing man are the sur vival of the hydrogen dilemna and what then after survival. Illustrating his thesis with the field of education, Cogley declared .he emphasis has been placed on 'how-to, rather than why." "Mcst students are in college so that they can obtain well-paying jobs to keep them sleek and content so that they can bear children who will take the easiest courses possible so they can ob tain well-paying jobs, etc." he re marked. "And the terrible thing about it is that this thing Is becoming san licified by authority," he pointed out, citing the Van Doren case as an example. However, Cogley has optimisti cally detected "rumblings of a re volt" in the present college genera tion. "Some serious students are Student Government Starts Interviews Student Government President David Grigg will conduct inter views Monday-Friday, 2-5 p.m. in the Student Government office for Student Government positiews.

Cogley called the week's speak ers "cheerful but not cheery" be cause "the spectre of the bomb" haunted the minds of all. Briefly summarizing the images -of man presented this week as the existential man (Wild), organiza tion man IWhyte), mass man (Mac donuld; and the underground man Rexroth), Cogley stated that no speaker issued "a call to heroism." "1 koked lor someone to give us a pep talk and, finding none, shall give i! myself," he declared. Cogley stated that enough had been said about man's limitations and the ambiguities of his society, but that "we need to be reminded .i . . . i inai a man s a man igt a uiui. The speaker summed up his im age of man with two principles: (1) Man is sacred by the very fact tiiat he is human. "His holi ness and dignity is derived not from class, caste or race, but from hu mantiy." (2) No man can be used as a means to an end because man is an end In himself. "America still has hope because the idea of man as a creature of vast dignity could set the world on fire," he predicted. "The whole world needs American ideas, but," he cautioned, "if you are not ready to go abroad and comfort the afflicted, you can stay home and afflict the comforted." Envisioning the Symposium as a beginning, the week's moderator concluded his address' by suggest ing that the revolution begin in the universities, "where life should- be solely devoted to the intellect."

Photo by Charlie Blumenthal Spearman Leads Discussion On Sewer System Of Writing' By BILL MORRISON The underground sewer system of writing" was discussed by Friday's symposium panel of Author Betty Smith, Critic Dwight MacDonald and Playwright Paul Green. Walter Spearman, UNC professor of journalism, moderated the dis cussion. In describing good writing on poor material in this manner, Green stated that great writing de manded more and that he himself had to go beyond. Critic MacDonald, on the other hand, felt that the great classics of the world were based o a large degree on such material. He stress ed the Greek Tragedies, Elizabeth an drama, and Milton's "Paradise Lost," which he felt spoke for them selves. Betty Smith disagreed by saying, "The classics are redeemed by their style which makes the reader feel that the material really isn't so bad. John O'Mara and other modern writers -using such material don't have this quality. Instead of being a part of the work, the read er must watch from the sidelines." The panel expressed the feeling that in literature the important thing was to try to attain the great, or as Green said, "It is all right if you hope against hope, but the im portant thing is that you hope." NC Educational Goal Wanted By Governor WILMINGTON Wl North Car olina must set itself an education al goal "and when that goal is achieved, we must .set another and another and another," Gov. Hodges said here Friday. "Education must become more than a word in North Carolina," the Governor declared. "It must become a vital part of our every day activities." The Governor spoke at ground breaking ceremonies for the new Wilmington College. ' His appearance here helped high light Friday's activities of the an nual Azalea Festival. A parade Saturday and the Azalea Queen Ball Saturday night will climax the color ful event. Sex, characters reflecting their times, and mass culture followed the "neurosis materialism" segment of the discussion. "Sex in today's novels, as in OHara's "From the Terrace" is not something in which the reader can readily participate. He will merely ask if such people do such things and then coldly watch the detailed descriptions," said Bet ty Smith, agreeing with MacDon ald that today's sex passages in literature lack the important ele ment of emption. Green felt, on another topic, that today's characters don't reflect the times. "Tennesee Williams' charac ters aren't reflecting the troubles of the day, but merely Tennessee Williams." Mass culture and writing in gen Purrington Elected Chairman Of Council By LINDA BYSER The newly elected Student Council last night named Ward Purrington chairman and upheld the election of Jimmy Smalley as treasurer of the student body. Smalley's election, contested by SP Chairman Jim Scott, was upheld , by the Council despite irregularities in the handling of two polling places and denial of the right to vote to at least one person, Purrington 1 said. ! The Council felt these grounds in sufficient to call for a re-election. Smalley polled only 18 votes more than Bill Harriss, his opponent. New Chairman Purrington is the only returnee to the Council, whose composition decreased from eleven to six members under the new ju dicial system. A sophomore from Raleigh, he is a Zeta Psi, a Morehead Scholar, and an unsuccessful candidate for legislature last year. He is also in the ROTC program. Necessitated change is on tap for the Council, according to Purring- eral? "Waiting is too hard to add that complicated subject to our troubles," Betty Smith emphatical ly cjncludea. vr Be a little Iamb.
