Fake students flunk course in deception By Jean Brock For many years, studem's at the Univerity of North Carolina have in eluded “basket-weaving" j and "rug-looping” a courses of-1 fend by the University in their informal, jokes. Yet, they have never managed to get them listed in the catal ogue as official credit courses, since the University sponon no vocational pra&am of this nature. It seems that three women in Montclair, N. J., have taken fullj advantage of the cagjpus joke. < however, by peddling rugs under the pretenses that they were rep- j resenting the University of North i Carolina. Cora Gray, seerkary to Dean | E. A. Brecht in the School of i Pharmacy, recently received a letter from a friend in Montclair inquiring, "since when do your! craft teachers have to pedd'e hooked rugs in seder So buy yam f«r their department?’.’ The letter went on. to .explain that one woman arid two girls had been apprehended for peddling rugs end claiming ghat Ahey were from the Umveraitp of North Car olina. - - , “I was very , surpassed when I heard about it.:’ wrote bhev friend.

Whet forces drove North Car ol iaa't most controversial writer to “devote his life and his en ergies to the creation of art with a singlemindednes not surpassed in tMc~ century?” What Was the controlling theme in all his books that led hint through a maze of words, a mul tiplicity of experiences, and fi nally brought trim to an untimely death at the age of 38? These are some of the ques tions discussed in Kenan Profes sor Hugh Holman’s pamphlet on Thomas Wolfe, released last month by the University of Min nesota Press. Holman, writing from the very stroa^wid of Wolfe’s domain, the University of North Carolina attempts to give the true picture 'of the author as a man and as a writer. The pamphlet is one of a series oil American writers de signed as “authoritative introduc tions for mature readers of im aginative literature.” The tempestuous Woffe, accord ing to Holman, was a product of his native Asheville — “a town still of its region, tasting on its tongue the bitternes of defeat, the sharp sting of southern pov erty, and the acrid flavor of ra cial injustice. Against this background of his hometown and early childhood experiences, and shocked by ex periences in Brooklyn, N. Y. as a writer and teacher, where he saw "the Mack picture of man’s inhumanity to bis feHo* man ss homecoming for Sunday Annual homecoming services will be held this Sunday at Bethel Bap tist Church new -Carrbcro. ‘The Rev.

He was ajnan obsessed with the realities of life around him, yet enamour ed with the romantic influence of his teachers. Most of Wolfe's writings are his struggle to find himself, to find the cause of man, in the bit* ternes of life.’ Proof of this is found in the autobiographical nature of all his work. Proof that be struggled with the farces of life and, moot of aB .With his own personality, can be seen in the fact that Wolfe’s writing was “in spired fragments” and that he created “only one satisfying larger work and that an imper fect one.” As for the central driving force behind the immensity of Wolfe’s creations and the intensity of his living, there can be but one an swer. Wolfe - himself admitted that his life was a “search for-a father.” These were the words the author used for describing his attempts to find some person, some human being, with whom he could communicate. His child hood loneliness, his inability to convene with father, mother, brothers and outers, friends,.and lovers, all left him with a desire to “find a father” or to fityf a system whereby men could com municate. t . But the one topic fnr which Wolfe received his most criti cisms was his painting ef life as a lonely and painful affair, full of suffering and death. and of his portrayal of man: ”a foul, wretched, abominable creature , , , it ir impoafete -4a-way the worst of him.” Yet. to epiafe: Hol man, “man, for Wolfe, is 'also a noble creature.'* And. “fn the teeming, uneven pages of Wolfe’s work this vision of man pos sessed of tragic grandeur is pre sented with great httenaMp." * in short, says Holman, the death of Tbm Wolfe cut short the 1 writer’s attempts to veaefc-r satis factory mode af expression. His works were subject for debate j even before his death. -Whether i or not Wolfe would have reached this means of expression is still subject to debate. -And whether or not be -was saved by-death from becoming a non-entity is an unresolved mystery.
