S.' By BILL IIOBBS GREENSBORO U. S. Chamber of Commerce President H. Ladd Plumley said Thursday the Euro pean Common Market will benefit U.S. business by forcing it to be come more diversified and efficient. He spoke at a College-Business Symposium here. Student representative from ten North Carolina colleges heard Plumley and other business lead ers call for a revision in national tax structure to provide . funds for capital investment in meeting the Common Market's "challenge". Plumley also predicted that Eng land's eventual entrance into the European Economic Community would cause a closer economic union between the United States and Canada. Archie . K. Davis, Director of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce and Chairman of the Board for Wachovia Bank And Trust Co. cited North Carolina's textile industry as an example of the "urgent necessity" of tax cut. "An investment of over $3 mil lion in a cotton mill here would bring only $50,000 annual profit. This is no competition for the Common Market," said Davis. Plumley, a native of Massachu setts, noted that much of New England's textile economy has been replaced by new industries in fields such as electronics. "This diversification is possible in North Carolina too. Your greatest re source in this state is the talent, ingenuity and foresight of your business leaders," he said. Dr. Charles Stewart, Director of Economic Research for the U. : S. Chamber, also stressed tax revi sion as a means for enabling American industries to compete with Common Market businesses. "Our tax structure now discrimi nates aaginst the more efficient firms. We need less emphasis on income taxes and more on con sumption taxation," he said. "If the U. S. can adjust to the Common Market on a gradual basis, the greater mobility of both capital and labor it will provide can be of great benefit." Plum ley said. Ten students represented UNC at the Symposium. Other, colleges represented included Woman's Col lege, Wake Forest, Lenoir Rhyne, Guilford ' College, Davidson Col lege, Catawba College, High Point College, Elon College, and Greens boro College.

Associate Professor John S. Clay ton of UNC was recently named a winner in a national radio contest sponsored by the American Foun dation for the Blind. Dr. Clayton won with a drama tized biography titled "Unchanging Moon," judged among the top 13 among hundreds of radio plays en tered in the contest. The accept ance carries with it a cash award of $200. Clayton states that his play is based on the experience of Marshall Smith. Smith, now practicing law in Chapel Hill, was blinded by flak nullum ItL'llU V1I 11 Willie llJUIfe a B-29 over Iwo Jima. He under went numerous operations follow ing the incident and, after sepa ration from service, came to Chapel Hill to earn a bachelor of arts degree and to go on into the University Law School.

In satisfying department re quirements an undergraduate will follow a two-course sequence in the history and civilization of France, with the emphasis on the arts One course in French phonetics, one in syntax and composition, one in conversation, and a three course sequence in the literature of France are also required. The sequence course in literature covers the area from the time of Charlemagne up to the latest trends and developments. Many of the courses are taught in the language itself. This allows the student to supplement the ex tensive laboratory facilities with classroom practice. At the moment there are twen ty-eight undergraduates and ap proximately forty graduate stu dents in the French Department. Most of these undergraduate majors choose to align their elec tives in diverse and unusually profitable ways. A frequent procedure is to take a third language, usually in the Ro mance languages, in the 1-4 se quence or in the accelerated 14-15 sequence. In addition, there is often a tendency to take courses in Music and Art, Philosophy and Comparative Literature. Amons non-divisional clectives, Psychology a p d Anthropology, Geography and Sociology are only a few of the fields the French major finds related to his owe. But, according to Professor Alfred G. Engstrom, courses in English, Classics, and Comparative litera ture are by far the most helpful in making a cohesive whole of the pattern of courses.

RO Audience Hear 66H L wain By CHUCK NEELY Wednesday night a standing-room-only audience at Memorial Hall saw Hal Hol brook present his -. widely acclaimed "Mark Twain Tonight." Holbrook was brought to Carolina by the Graham Ac-' tivi ties Board. ; ' "It was not the missionary, or the railroad or the pioneer who tamed the frontier.

(Photo by Jim - Wallace). before an enthusiastic crowd which Hol brook said was "one of the most warm ly receptive and intelligent audiences I ' have ever encountered." Lashing out in Twain's inimitable man ner, he dissected Americans and their ideas in a satirical fashion that brought him five curtain calls at the close of his two-hour performance. The topics covered included politics, religion, slavery, Columbus, morals, the Old South, and indeed almost every thing in the human spectrum. With masterful style and a brilliant delivery, Holbrook succeeded rapidly in creating the illusion that he was Twain. He modulated the emotions of the audi ence from high humor to quiet pathos. The make-up Holbrook uses gave am ple proof of his skill in this field. Hol brook said that he first acquired his in terest in this art when he was a student actor at Denison College. He added that when he first began in the Twain role it took him lli hours to apply his make up. It now takes him 3l2 hours to do the job. Holbrook has been working on "Mark Twain Tonight" since 1947. Until 1953 he worked with his wife in the act, but then he embarked on his solo career. The time and effort he has put into his act is evident in the polished smooth ness with which he portrays Twain down to the tiniest wrinkle and the slightest tremor of his fingers. His shuffling gait, white mane and gray mustache all work to convert a young man into a time-worn and world-weary cynic, philosopher and humorist Holbrook has been on an extensive tour of the nation, coming to Chapel Hill from Washington and leaving here for Nashville. He said that he presented "Mark Twain Tonight" in Oxford, Miss., a week after the riots there and noted that Oxford was the only place he had ever visited where the audience ap plauded after the "Silent Lie" section of his Huck Finn monologue. (The "Si lent Lie" is a condemnation of the un spoken prejudices and lies held by peo ple.) He said he felt a moment of fright when he began the Huck Finn dialogue, which deals with slavery and race re lations, but that it was received "tremen dously well." He thought there was a considerable amount of silent moderation at "Ole Miss", but that the press re ports seemed to overlook it. Holbrook has toured extensively n Europe and has received great acclama tion there. He felt that Europeans tend to regard TA-ain not only as a great writ er, but also as a citizen of the world. In January, Hal Holbrook will return to Broadway to do a production of "Ab raham Lincoln in Illinois." He has ten tative plans to follow this up with an other run of "Mark Twain Tonight", either on Broadway or in London. Twain, or Holbrook, delivered the fol lowing comments Wednesday night: On politics: "The lie cannot vanish from the earth while Congress remains in session." On religion: "Heaven for climate hell for society." "In America you're an infidel if you're not a Christian. In Egypt you're an infidel if you are a Christian. God lacks conviction." On age: "If you can't get to seventy by a comfortable road, don't go." Holbrook said that he had always heard of Chapel Hill, but that this was the first tune he had ever been here. He said that one of the things that struck him about the University was the aware ness and alertness of the people and the students.
