THE rATT.y TAR HEEL
Bemmeffl Boosts Bi
One athletic blond senior
present at all University of
North Carolina football and
basketball games is neither a
football player nor a member
of the basketball team.
But he is pretty important
to both teams.
Burlington political science
major David Bennett is kept
busy at UNC games by his job
as head cheerleader, in charge
of a squad of seven girls and
seven other men cheerleaders.
But how did the former
high school football player end
up cheering from the sidelines
at UNC?
"Well, I didn't really plan it
this way." says Bennett, who
admits that he still likes to play
intramural football.
"A boy I was friends with
my freshman year was the son
of a former cheerleader for
UNC. He wanted to go out for
cheerleader too, but he wanted
someone else to go out with
him. So I did."
Bennett has been on the
Chapel Hill cheerleader squad
for four years. He was named
head cheerleader this year by a
student body committee
composed of representatives of
the various branches of student
government. The committee is
required to include in its
membership a minimum of two
former cheerleaders.
In addition to appearing at
football and basketball pep
rallies and games, the squad is
in charge of making and
distributing spirit signs and
posters.
"We like to think," says
Bennett, "that we're fairly
effective in generating student
body spirit and keeping up
team spirit. It's been extremely
hard in football because of a
bad three years, but we have
no trouble in basketball since
our team has a winning
record."
Bennett claims that one of
the advantages of his job is the
people he works with,
especially the girl cheerleaders.
"That part is great!" he says
with a grin.
The seven girls work up
their own routines for
half-time shows and put in
much time meeting high school
recruits for the athletic teams.
"They must really impress
the boys" is Bennett's
comment. He adds that three
out of the five best basketball
recruits last year are now
playing for UNC.
Bennett points out that
increased size always breeds
apathy at a college or
university, but that .he feels
rapidly growing UNC is doing
much to meet the problem. He
gives much credit for Chapel
Hill school spirit to "really
good alumni support".

Future plans for Bennett
include "vague ideas about
Law School." "It really
depends on the military
service," he noted.
And what does political

cheerleader? "Four years

A DTH Review
A CLASSIC
IMG
6Eva Trout9 Leaves Confusion
By JEAN LIVERMORE
EVA TROUT or Changing
Scenes. By Elizabeth Bowen.
302 pages. Alfred A. Knopf.
The rich but slow-witted
and ungainly English heiress,
Eva Trout, pulls up to the
deserted countryside castle and
announces to the Vicar's
children, "This is where we
were to have spent the
honeymoon." Is it the
beginning of a story of
unfulfilled love? Wait Eva, it
seems, is not slow.
Rather she is suffering from
a reserve developed in
observing her father carry on a
destructive homosexual
relationship with Eva's present
guardian. A psychological
novel showing the destructive
interplay of human emotions?
No, now Eva has run away
from Iseult and Eric, with
whom she has been staying, to
await her twenty-fifth birthday
and her inheritance breaking
up her former teacher's
marriage in the process by
announcing she is going to have
a baby. Her guardian,
Constantine's? Eric's? Her
rental agent's? It must be a
mystery story.
WTrong again, Elizabeth
Bowen has combined intrigue,
fantasy, and warped human
relationships and emerged with
a novel that, far from being
enlightening or possibly
entertaining, is confusing,
incomprehensible, and worst,
boring. The style, at the least
unworkable, becomes at times
almost offensive. What one
generously assumes to be an
attempt at stream of
consciousness emerges as
incoherence. "Eva, one saw
straight ahead, through the
windscreen."
As for dialogue, when Miss
Bowen is not trying to
demonstrate Constantine's rich
worldliness by making him
speak with unbelievably stilted
pomposity, or Eva's
deep-rooted emotional
strangeness by making her
incomprehensible, we are left
with the boredom of
supposedly common speech.
" 'Always there,, always there, i
always there.' 'I know, I know,
I know.' "
Nor is the psychology of the
characters at all workable.!
Many are invested with an
innate, somber reserve,
intended to make them deep
and mysterious but making
them merely incoherent. Eva
herself is unexplained. She is
supposedly neurotic, caught up
in fantasy, overwrought
emotionally, along with being
physically large to the point of
ugliness.
Yet everyone she is
involved with is somehow
fascinated with her. If the
reader is supposed to realize
what the characters don't, that
underneath Eva is sensitive,
intelligent and over-perceptive,
unfortunately her cryptic
dialogue adds only to the
general confusion.
Eva returns from eight years
in America with her son,
Jeremy, who is deaf and dumb.
Why she chose to adopt a child
(as we finally infer has
happened) is unexplained, as is
her growing love for Henry,
one of the Vicar's children,
twelve years younger than Eva.
We are taken painfully
through the mother's and son's
first separation as Jeremy
undergoes treatment. The final
scene of the novel is Eva and
Henry boarding a train to leave
for their wedding, when
Jeremy races up with a gun he,
with masterful ability for an
eight-year-old, has managed to
keep hidden.
Of course he shoots Eva on
the train platform, but in this
the reader finds only horror for
its own sake. Eva's last words,
before Jeremy appears, are,
" 'Constantine, what is
'concatenation'?' " This
obviously implies the preceding
chain of events made the end
inevitable. But Elizabeth
Bowen has not created a tragic
figure in Eva. Early
presentation of her flaw as an
inability to communicate is
unacceptable, for she does
communicate, with her:
guardian and Henry if no
others. We cannot assume Eva
spent eight years in the major
cities of America seeing
doctors with Jeremy without
being adept at daily living;
The only tragedy we are left
with, then, is that Elizabeth
Bowen takes what could have,
at best, been an interesting
psychological character study,
at the least an absorbing
mystery story, at worst a
well-done romance, and leaves
us with only confusion.

Contact lenses can be .
heaven . , . or hell. They
may be a wonder of
modern science but just
the slightest bit of dirt
under the lens can make
them unbearable. In
order to keep your con
tact lenses as comforta
ble and convenient as
they were designed to be,
you have to take care of
them.
Until now you needed
two or more separate
solutions to properly pre
pare and maintain your
contacts. You would
think that caring for con
tacts should be as con
venient as wearing them.
It can be with Lensine.
Lensine is the one lens
solution for complete
contact lens care. Just a
drop or two, before you
insert your lens,coats and
lubricates it allowing the
lens to float more freely
in the eye's fluids. That's
because Lensine is an
"isotonic" solution,
which means that it
blends with the natural
fluids of the eye.
Cleaning your contacts
with Lensine retards the
buildup of foreign de
posits on the lenses. And
soaking your contacts in
Lensine between wear
ing periods assures you
of proper lens hygiene.
You get a free soaking
case on the bottom of
every bottle of Lensine.
It has been demonstrated
that improper storage be
tween wearings may
result in the growth of
bacteria on the lenses.
This is a sure cause of
eye irritation and in some
cases can endanger your
vision. Bacteria cannot
grow in Lensine which is
sterile, self-sanitizing,
and antiseptic.
Let your contacts be the
convenience they were
meant to be. Get some
Lensine, from the Murine
Company, Inc.
