He is the engaging hero of a readable new novel about the Civil War, Jim Mundy (Harper and Row. 470 pp. $9.95) by Robert H. Fowler, who is a native of Monroe, N.C., a former Greensboro newspaperman and now publisher of four magazines about the Civil War and a resident of Pennsylvania. He is a graduate of UNC ChapelHill. Living in the fictional county of Oldham, N.C., Jim volunteered with the 10th North Carolina Volunteers at the age of 18, left his Methodist parsonage home and fought through the entire war, including such battles as Fredericksburg, Malvern Hill and Antietam; surrendered with Robert E.

PC 7:00 9:15 Jim Mundy is written from the point of view of a poor North Carolina farm boy whose family never owned any slaves and whose enthusiasm for fighting rather than dedication to a cause plunged him into the Army. "Sherman said war was hell," Jim wrote, "but he had a horse to ride. He would have said a lot worse if he had been a poor foot soldier." Jim's descriptions of battles are realistic and books By WA L TER SPEA RMA N Jim Mundy by Robert H. Fowler horrifying. He lost an eye at Gettysburg, suffered in the Yankee prison on Johnson's island, escaped in a coffin during a cyclone and happened to be present at many of the Confederates' greatest victories and defeats. From all the battles Mundy fought in, one would think he had no time left over for other activities. But he was a lively young man. eager for all kinds of experience. He had his first drunken Braswell His conditional acceptance to Richmond was his motivation for becoming so active in the student union, he said. When he arrived at Richmond, "The university was in a tremendous period of transition," he said. A new athletic complex had just been built, and money had been given to the school to build a new student commons. H owever, the student union never had been able to create much campus interest, he said. "We decided we needed a week of events, for good PR, to turn the campus on to the student union," Braswell said. As a result, the Special Events Committee was created and Braswell was appointed chairperson, an office to which he later was elected by the student body. At that time, Richmond was a private school with a separate women's college. Women and men were segregated, Braswell said. "We needed a project to get people together. Women wouldn't go anywhere without a date." So Braswell came up with the "Dutch Chaos" project. A $5 ticket to "Dutch Chaos" bought admission to a lecture, a coffee house, all night movies, a 40-foot mud slide and a A reminder MAKE YOUR HOLIDAY RESERVATIONS EARLY 135 East Franklin St. CHAPEL HILL.

He discovered a pleasant whorehouse in Richmond with a pretty quadroon who knew how to give him a bath as well as other services. He didn't like his over-fat, platitudinous commanding officer in Raleigh, but he did like the general's wife and gave her a son who resembled her husband not at all. And he met all sorts of interesting people along his picaresque way. a former slave who helped him escape to Canada, "a hateful little homosexual clerk" at Johnson Island Prison who stopped his letters to his girl back home, a shrewd Yankee trader who lent him six dollars and gave him a job alter the war. two devoted black slaves who aided his romance with a Southern plantation owner's daughter, a white deserter who told him "This is a rich man's war and a poor man's light." and a professor at Dickinson College who argued with him about the war. Author Robert Fowler did not set out , to write a literary masterpiece. The style is folksy and homespun and the point of view is definitely that of a poor boy from North Carolina. Continued from page 1. concert. The week ended with a 600-foot banana split in the gym. Braswell said about 500 people attended, and $ I bought them all they could eat. The Guinness Book of World Records wasn't interested in Richmond's banana split, Braswell said, because a longer one had been built the year before by an ice cream parlor in St. Paul, Minn.: it was one-mile long. "Dutch Chaos" raised about $1,000. Braswell said, and the union used the money to buy a sound system for its coffee house. Braswell, who is against increasing student fees at UNC, said the student union here doesn't do enough fund raising to support its programs. At Richmond, he said, the Special Events Office was a pay phone booth. "We did it with nothing," he said, which in part explains his hostility towards organizations at UNC which can function only when money is dished out to them. "1 guess I'm a country boy in a big town," said the Petersburg, Va. native,"but some of the ways they throw around money really bother me."
