Reichert, U. N. C. associate professor of German,' has been named American repre sentative of the German Niet-) zsche Society, in recognition of his interest and work in the, field of Nietzsche research. The Nietzsche Society was founded in 1919 by a number of eminent German authors, includ ing such names as Thomas Mann and Hugo von Hofmannsthal, as a means to revive cultural values in Germany. These writers had a great respect for Nietzsche's literary style and spirit of "Eu ropeanism,” and were not in sym pathy with the conception of the philosopher, particularly empha sized by hostile writers during the First World War, as the high priest of brutality. The uncom promising opposition of the so ciety to dictatorship caused it to be ruthlessly disbanded by the Nazis when they came into pow er. Unfortunately the Nazis saw fit to misuse Nietzsche’s Ideas and popular slogans to construct a superman of their own con cept, and the subsequent asso ciation of Nietzsche and Nazi in many minds led to anti-Niet zsche feeling in the immediate post-war years. Since the turn of the Recede, however, as more normal condi tions and tempers have again come to prevail, a more object ive attitude has also entered the field of Nietzsche scholarship. | The prevailing opinion of many The Chapel Hill Weekly vom l.ehn; Harpists Suzunn Davids and Emily Kellam and organist I,ee Bostian will ac company the Oratorio. A group of familiar Christ mas carols will conclude the pro gram. The audience will be ask ed to join the Choral Club and Glee Club in singing them. The accompanist for the Glee Club is Carl Hepting, for the Choral Club, Lee Bostian. Joel Carter ia director of both groups.

Sheriff Clayton noted that a total of two years and four months in sentences were given to defendants in cases originat ing in his department. All of these defendants were placed on probation or given suspended terms. Fines and costs meted out by the Court during the month to defendants in cases originat ing from the Sheriff’s Depart ment amounted to $504.40. Here From Asheville Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Hodges of Asheville were here last week on a visit to their son-in-law and daughter, Dr. and Mrs. Troy Sluder. scholars today is that Nietzsche was thinking not in terms of conquest but of self-control when |he used the phrase “will-to power.’’ In the summer of 1966 the 'Nietzsche Society was re-estab lished, with its former presi dent the septuagenarian Friedrich Wurzbach, being renamed to that office for life. The society ia located in and subsidized by the city of Munich. Mr. Reichert is at present un dertaking a three-fold investi gation of Nietzsche. He is com piling a comprehensive biblio graphy embracing Nietzsche’s works and the critical literature, a commentary to the critical lit erature, and an investigation of Nietzsche’s influence on contem porary German writers. Although 1 Nietzsche died only in 1900, i books on him run into the thous ands and the articles are even more numerous. Mr. Reichert ' says it will take several years ' before the project is complet ed.
