Woodward said what Elli son also expressed, that the myths "are used to exclude used to exclude the Negro from the common Southern history and converted into a tribal myth, the exclusive pos session of one race. "Negro Southerners can nev er eobrace the Southern iden tity as long as it's a tribal myth based on their own deg radation." Ellison called the "Southern mythology part of the nation al mythology. It helped the North and South justify cer tain undemocratic practices. "If a Northerner looked at the South and saw injustice, he can say 'We had nothing to do with it.' If a Negro com plained that white friends did not understand, he can say 'It isn't our problem. It's the Southerners' fault.' "The Southern myth justi fied for the nation the lack of equality in the North and dif ficulties of the Negro to share the benefits of this great na tion." The Oklahoma - born writ er went on to note the irony "that the nation which fought to death over disagreements should work so closely togeth er after peace not so much on collaboration in raising the nation, but in living upon each other with . each section ex ploiting one: another." by the North was not as im portant, Ellison asserted, as "the more important exploita tion by the North and nation of Southern mythology to jus tify what had happened, to project certain images of it self." Negro myths are "often just as dehumanizing as the anti Negro myth," he said. "They would deny human relation ships which exist on certain levels." Reiterating one of Wood ward's points, Ellison noted, "Negroes have learned not to lose the hope that the shared experiences of both peoples will be a source of national strength.

S. were reincarnated, encouraged by the Truman Doctrine of con tainment, he added. Simmons then described his 1947 mission to Russia to estab lish better cultural relations, which was stymied by the Russian mission's temporary refusal to grant him a visa to the Soviet Union. The mission, sponsored by the State Department and the Rockefeller Foundation, was to suggest exchange of stu dents and professors and to trade bibliographical data, Simmon explained. He said his one-man mis sion, in which he first visited several Eastern European countries, was disguised as a study of Slavic languages. "But I could immediately sense if.s failure," the professor add- , "when I was met at the airport by several chunky girls in a beat-up jeep who didn't even know where I was to stay." Simmons was then given the run-around by Soviet officials until he finally gained an au dience with one who oom pletely rejected Simmons' ov erture. Shortly thereafter he was described in Pravda as an - American spy, Simmons re lated. "T h e Truman Doctrine, which was announced in April just before my May visit, de stroyed much of the good will prevalent up to that time. But the sequel to the story is that 10 years later, in 1957, a group of distinguished U. S. and USSR' diplomats planned the first cultural exchange be tween the countries." Simmons said the moral of the interchange between the countries is that "despite the difficulties of negotiations, it is wise to continue them, be cause sooner or later some ef fect is bound to occur. "And now neither country would want to change its par ticipation in the exchange pro gram,'' in which professors, students, artists, and musi cians are exchanged.

Problem the books were taken from the library twenty years ago and returned with only an anony mous note. Most probably, new books have been bought to replace the old ones, and there's no possible way to get the hun dreds of dollars owed in fines. All these problems and ac tivities go on every day be hind the shelves and frosted glass doors of Wilson. It takes more than a couple of stamp pads and a few catalogues to run a library of over a million volumes.

A UNC journalism professor Kennety Byerly urged Georgia news men Thursday night to use "sense and 'good taste" as a key to standards of decency in reporting. "There are grave problems when decidng how much or little we will report of lurid and shocking details in some news stories," Byerly observ ed. There will be disagreements among reporters as to what constitutes "sense" and "good taste," he said, "but there is no better guage." Byerly addressed the Fifth Who is your ideal date?

When asked who decides what books will be purchased, Gribben erplied, "We depend mainly on faculty recommen dations, l ne professors are scholars in their field and in turn they are well - qualified to recommend books in their subject." The library also provides sightly paintings and show cases. The showcases are the responsibility of the library department nearest it, yet stu dent groups are given their use. Mrs. May Hill, curator of art at Ackland, has been dubbed a library staff member and selects student art to be dis played on the first floor. All these workmgs go on everyday, all year long while most of us students just browse in, check out our books, and flop down in a chair.

Kenneth L. Penegar. law pro fessor, was moderator of the panel which was the third in a series of programs this year at the law school to educate law students on problems they will face as leaders of tomor row. In his opening rcmakrs. Pen egar asked the students and the panel. "What is justice and what is Southern about it?" He added that it is injustice if citizens are arbitrarily ex cluded from enjoying rights because of artificial barriers such as race and color. The first panelist to speak was Dr. C. Vann Woodward. history professor at Yale Un iversity. He recalled that Jus tice Hugo Black once said his two greatest concerns were racial justice and the jury sys tem. Woodward said he won dered if the two were in fact reconcilable.

He added, "One thing the failure of justice has done to the southern Negro is to make justice a more precious ideal. "The Negro is nonethless forced to depend on the future of justice," Ellison said.

Ellison concluded by saying the future depends on the law students, the practitioners of tomorrow, and wehther they are willing to break with old incantations and invest in the future of justice. The editor of the Greensboro Dailv News. William D. Snider noted a need for more Negro voters and lawyers, pointing out that North Carolina had only 125 Negro lawyers but a Negro population of 1.5 million. He felt a need also for fed eral prodding, especially to provide equal education . Snider said he hoped a so lution could be found to change the judicial svstem without de stroying it. He noted that one of the inequities in the state's system of justice, the JP cou is being changed. McNeill Smith, lawyer from Greensboro, said lawyers should know southern history in terms of race relations and should not continue to operate under old myths and prejud ices. He cited court cases from the 19th century, including one in 1830 which said Negroes were North Carolina citizens, and said that much of the good work of the past had been largely ignored. Smith said there was na ab solute need for more Negro lawyers and that Negro stu dents should be recruited for the state's law schools. "We are going to see changed in the jury system in terms of broadening its base," Smith said and reminded the audi ence that the entire legal sys tem would break down if jus tice came to be known as a sham.
