4 The Daily Tar Heel Wednesday, November 16, 1977 Insightful look at Southern Jews Richard Kluger is a native of Paterson. N.J., who is so interested and concerned about the blacks and the Jews in the South that he has written a book about each group. His Simple Justice several years ago was a strikingly fresh and thorough account of the Supreme Court decision that outlawed segregation in 1954 and the human consequences of that decision. His new book, Members of the Tribe, (Doubleday.471 pp. $10) brings 17-year-old Jewish boy named Seth Adler to Savannah, Ga. in 1878, shows him adjusting to the ways of the South and then has him defend Jewish Noah Berg, charged with the murder of a teen-age Gentile girl in 1913 (obviously based on the actual trial-and-lynching of Jewish Leo Frank in 1913). Kluger has done his homework on Southern Jews as well as he did his homework on Southern blacks; and the result is an intensely readable, enlightening and provocative novel. The first section is Seth Adler's own story of his rise to success as a lawyer in Savannah, His friendship with the Baxters, a Southern family grown rich by manufacturing a soft drink called "Jubilee" (which reminds you inevitably of Coca Cola), and his decision to defend Noah Berg. The second section is told by Adler's daughter Judith, who recalls in 1945 the details of the trial and lynching of Noah Berg, the terrible burst of anti-Semitism in Georgia, the role pished by populist Tom Watson andr finally and surprisingly, the real murderer of the girl, Jean Dugan. Seth Adler's grandson David adds a postscript in 1976 from his viewpoint of a SHOWS 3:00f:j 5:00:3 7:00 3 9:00 :J SH3iiI!lllli o:i3 :: 7:15 8 9:15 :j "Ch,Gcd!n GEORGE BURNS JOHN DENVER SHOWS 2:45 M 5:00 : 7:15 :: 9:30 i am A MAR VISTA Presentation Starring MARJOE CORTNER ROBERT LANSING ED NELSON FM 107 WDBS "Bogie" Series Humphrey Bogart Jose Ferrer to "The Calne Mutiny" i NCNI FIA.

He points out that the Jews in America "have advanced steadily to positions of leadership in every 'walk of life" and notes that his grandfather Seth would be startled to know "that the next President of the United States is to be a books By WA L TER SPEA R MA N Members of the Tribe by Richard Kluger Georgia farmer reared in the very same place that spawned the rabble who so savagely took the life of Noah Berg." Kluger even allows his fictional David Adler to say: "It is touching, and plainly a healing thing for the nation, that a good old boy who swabbed cotton bolls with arsenic in his family's fields, and had his hair shorn with mule clippers and sold peanuts on the streets of a peanul-sied town, may be elevated by grit and wit to the White House." The theme that runs persistently through Members of the Tribe is that for the Jews "America was riative soil of the soul" and that although temporary aberrations like the lynching of Noah Berg (and of the real-life Leo Frank) might occur from time to time, there was genuine tolerance of the Jews and even appreciation of their attributes in America and in the South. Of special local interest is Kluger's "author's note." in which he cites two of his useful sources in writing the book as A Personal History of the Jew s in America by Eli Evans of Durham, a graduate of the University of North Carolina, and Tom Watson: Agrarian Rebel by C. Vann Woodward, who received his Ph.D. degree from the University of North Carolina in I937. 'Beyond the Fringe' opens i cocoa r, The North Carolina Shakespeare Festival Off-Season Players will present Beyond the Fringe tonight through Friday and again next Wednesday through Friday at the Ranch House. There will be two shows nightly, at 7 and 9:30. Beyond the Fringe is a conglomeration of the comic material of Peter Cooke and Dudley Moore in a series of comedic sketches. The Off -Season Players have added some innovations of their own, including some James Thurber and Woody Allen comedy. "It's the kind of show w here you don't have to behave yourself," according to producer and co-founder Mark Woods. "It's okay to laugh loud." I he show has played to rave reviews for three weeks in the Players' home in High Point. One Greensboro reviewer recommended the production to anyone who wouldn't mind "collapsing, helplessly and utterly, with laughter." Bernard Johnson, David Lienthall, Gordon Fergeson. Rick Simpson and Mary Key Woods, the five actor-players starring in Beyond The Fringe, return from a summer company that produced The Taming of the Shrew, Henry V and Moliere's Miser.

Rod Abernethy will be special guest al the concert, which is free. under the sponsorship of WXYC-FM and Abbattoir Records. Kalapana's sound has, in fact, caused many music critics to exhaust their vocabularies of superlatives in attempts to convey its dynamic impact on audiences. A favorite of West Coast colleges, universities and clubs. Kalapana has sold out concerts in Berkeley, San Diego. Chicago, Louisville, Richmond and Washington, D.C., to name a few. Wherever Kalapana appears, the story is the same overflow crowds, standing ovations, and demands for encores. Also on the bill tonight is Chapel Hill favorite Rod Abernethy. Complainants at odds on remedy Continued from page 1. faculty would have access to approximately 2.000 unused baskets in the main male locker room. "I don't see any equitable arguments for the University about this (converting the mule faculty locker room)," Murphv said. "Though people think. 'Well, they're only talking about lockers.' the ramifications of this are large." said Melva Fager. who is a supporter of the grievance. "If they're trying to create an atmosphere for women in athletics, they're discriminating against' them." she said. "It's discouraging for women juSt to go over to the gym." "It's obvious they don't want to rock the boat w here the male faculty are concerned." Fagersaid. "But it seems they don't give a damn about the women students and faculty." But Blyth said he does not think "'his :s a problem with overt discrimination: some things are unfair that just develop," "Women do need some relief." Blyth said. "We will make some changes, but 1 don't know what they'll be." Blyth said many men's lockers are in the hallways, "and I don't want to put women there. I don't think anyone expects us to." "You must look at the language of Title IX." Murphy said. "The University was to proceed as 'expeditiously as possible' to make facilities comparable for men and women. They haven't." Blyth said the department was progressing in making more facilities available to women, but that the athletic facilities are not totally comparable. "They're not comparable with everyone having completely equal facilities," he said. Blyth said the rising number of women at UNC and more women in Physical Education has hindered the progress. Daniel Okun. a Kenan professor in public health who signed the grievance as a friend of the complaintants. said. "Women don't have facilities that match their needs. The limited spaces should be used equitably." Okun. who uses the gymnasium and has a locker in the male faculty locker room, said he may or may not lose his locker because of the grievance, "but if everyone is treated equally, I'll have no complaints." Betty Ausherman. a member of the women's field hockey team and chairperson of the Association for Women Students, said she signed the grievance because she thought it was time someone "had the nerve to do this, and all Karen Murphy has researched is true." Ausherman said field hockey members have no lockers in which to store equipment. According to the grievance, only the women'1 golf team has locker space. Ausherman said the field hockey team had been shortchanged. "We've had to practice in the dark once, and at the beginning, our field was covered with weeds. I don't think they'd do this to Coach Dooley. and I have a feeling something has to change." "The situation isn't fair.for women on teams or P.E. students," field hockey coach Dolly Hunter said. "The athletic department does go out of its way to help us and ask about problems. They Try the New BLIMPIE BOMBER Feeling Down? come meet some interesting folks at the KOFFEE KLATCH This morning 9-11 The Pine Room Sponsored by Campus Y support us, but k fuse we are women, they don't think it is necesary sometimes. There are just so many other teams." Women's volleyball coach Beth Miller said changing the facilities now would be difficult in some respects. "I know what the situation is," Miller said. "I'm in sympathy with the administration; they did change one room (a weight lifting room) for women. It's a real difficult situation. Maybe a storage room in Carmichael could be changed." Blyth said the new intramural gym scheduled for completion in 1980 will help the situation. "Unquestionably the new gym is a cure for the ills of incomparable facilities," he said. But Associate Professor of English Margaret O'Connor said she believes the situation must be helped before the new gym is completed. "There's no reason to wait until the new gym to have facilities for women," O'Connor said. northampton ... , . ... Continued from page 1. At a public hearing called on Oct. 24 by Alderman Gerry Cohen, some residents objected to the conversion. Cohen called of the hearing after residents complained that they had not been notified of the proposed change. Among the complainants was UNC law student Armand DiMeo. DiMeosaid he and other residents felt they would have difficulty finding another place to live and would contribute tp the town's traffic problem if forced to move farther away from campus. Northampton Plaza is approximately one-half mile from downtown Chapel Hill and the UNC campus. DiMeo said after the hearing that Birgel (the owner) had said he would help residents relocate. Philip Brown, executive director of the E piscopal H ome for the Aging, said Tuesday that letters were sent sometime after Oct. 10 to all residents of the building announcing the diocese's plans. Brown said that construction on the cafeteria should begin in the spring. Interior renovations will commence after the residents leave. The target date for new occupancy is August 1978.
