Herring emphasized the im- portance of scouting in develop- ing responsible citizens.

Dean Herring also maintained that "the character of a government is inevitably based on the attitude of a people toward life." "Good Citizenship in the Home" was the topic of Mr. Resch, who told the Explorers that a "respect for and exercise of parental authority" is the basic principle of home citizen- ship.

Art Displays Within the- next month the Student Union cultural

committee under Bill Spann will present as its first ex­hibition photographs by Leonard Kamsler. This showing has been made possible by the work of Carol Hampton, chairman of student art exhibits, and Mr. Robert M. Broderson, art instructor. Their plans are for a panel type gallery with special lighting to be located in the old Union building lobby.

This exhibition along with those that have been pre­sented in the Student Union building, the East Campus Library (where there is now a showing of Ralston Craw­ford's work) and the halls of Asbury building are good in that they further the ideals of a true university.

However, it is unfortunate that there are no facilities on either campus for exihiting some of the master works of art. The gallery in the East Campus Library comes closest to fulfilling this need, but even its facilities are neither adequate in size nor in protection for great works of art.

Speaker Screened Last week the University of Mississippi was urged

to revoke a student invitation to the Rev. Alvin Kershaw to speak during religious emphasis week on the grounds that part of the money won by Rev. Kershaw on "The $64,000 Question" was to be donated to the NAACP to help the organization fight segregation.

The editors of the student newspaper rose in indig­nation against the Citizens Councils and Rep. James Morrow, who urged the withdrawal of the invitation. The Mississippian editorial accused the Councils and state represenative of "neglecting to grasp -the meaning of a university."

"Students attend a university to . . . gather informa­tion through freedom of speech and inquiry and formu­late their own opinions. How is this possible when they are cuddled like children?"

We find the word censor defined in the dictionary as "an overseer of morals and conduct." We do not under­stand how any group can have the audacity and confi­dence to play Miltonic-like god.

Potter Entertains With Humor Talk

By FRANK GREEN

Stephan Potter came to Duke ostensibly to talk at some length on the subject of British vs. American humor, but Potter—-since he is Potter — could hard­ly be expected to limit himself to such stringent confines, and indeed he did not.

Potter has that rare gift of being a genuinely funny man without really trying to be, and so it was that those fortunate enough to hear him in Page Au­ditorium were entertained by a more or less disorganized series of examples of what Potter thinks is funny and what Pot­te r does not think is funny, and if it all has no great significance in retrospect, what he said is redeemed from the realm of the mediocre by the sparkling per­sonality of the speaker. As Pot­te r himself would put it, what he said had lots of Christmas in it.

OUT OF THE NORTH Caro­lina Baptist convention hall in Asheville last week came a de­cision to comply with the U. S. Supreme Court's integration de­cision. Because Durham boasts 23 Baptist congregations, the convention resolution is parti­cularly relevant to this area.

The delegates, in approving of integration, said: "We request the trustees of the institutions of our convention to give care­ful study to their responsibility and opportunity to open the doors of knowledge and service to qualified applicants regard-men regardless of race."

The Rev. D. W. Morris of Gold Hill wanted "acceptance of Negroes as our Christian brothers," and Miley B. Guthrie of Fayetteville "hopes some day to minister as Christ did to all men regardless of race-"

Here is a decision not dissimi­lar to Gov. Luther Hodges' vol­untary segregation plan. Yet the Baptist decision is more sat­isfactory and more meaningful. True, the trustees of each insti­tution are free to follow their own policy, but the convention delegates made clear the desired course to follow.

WE ARE IRKED by those people who feel that this inte­gration problem is being over­played, that too much his being said and published about the controversy. Gov. Hodges him­self recently became annoyed about answering questions con­cerning his fuzzy policy. And students have complained that they are "tired" of seeing so many letters to the editor about segregation.

We object to their objections, and argue that the subject fully deserves the attention it is re-

Letter to the Editor Editor, The Chronicle:

Last Wednesday evening, the university community o n c e again had the privilege of see­ing Hollywood's interpretation of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. When it first appeared, it receiv­ed excellent reviews, here and abroad, both in its production and portrayals. The intensity of the drama itself and the com­plete sincerity of the actors made this movie different from the run-of-the-m i 11 supercolossals. Different, I say because it could appeal to the mature mind, it could provoke and inspire, it could stimulate — exactly the type of entertainment that should be appreciated by a col­lege audience. It is a tragedy in the deepest sense.

Yet, there seemed to be many Duke students who were amus­ed last Wednesday. Something seemed to be very funny! One of the uproarious moments was. during the funeral oration. They (whoever they may be) thought it hilarious that through the power of speech and persuasion one man could sway the mob literally "off their feet," and that he could infuse them with a fiery spirit to the point of revolt. Surely, this was not something to be laughed at, something so filled with mirth.

We needn't look far to see the dire and tragic results of dema-goguery. Hitler was an excel­lent demagogue, but certainly his actions have not resulted in very much laughter. Or does one have to travel across the seas to find this type of human behaviour? Can we not, with­out any effort, find this type of

ceiving. The citizens of a de­mocracy must at times face an issue. It is a matter that con­cerns intimately our university, the city we live in, and the na­tion.

When brilliant Shake-' spearean passages are referred to as "pretty good bits," then in­deed we ought to pack up and go back to the farm.

Jeremy North's Antiquarian Bookshop Adds Touch of London To Local Stores

By AL HEIL Durham may be the city of

exciting stores, but Jeremy North has given browsers a glimpse into a brand of excite­ment formerly lacking on the local scene: an antiquarian book­shop a la London.

The second floor of the shop, which opened Oct. 29 at 1913 Chapel Hill Road, contains a wealth of marit ime material col­lected by North during his ca­reer as a seaman. Although he had specialized only in sea lore before moving to Durham, North is currently expanding into oth­er fields; the entire first floor of his two-level shop houses works of art, natural history, history, architecture, gardening and a host of other fields.

Scattered throughout the spa­ces between the bookshelves are prints and drawings dating back to the 16th century and repre­senting the work of English, French, German and Italian masters.

"I 've made arrangements to have in stock every book pub­lished in England," explained

FACULTY MEMBERS ATTEND ANNUAL LANGUAGE MEETING

Eight Duke University facul­ty members will participate in the annual conference of the South Atlantic Modern Lan­guage Association, Nov. 24-26 at Daytona Beach, Fla.

Papers will be presented by Dr. Clarence Gohdes, professor of English, on "Soviet Literary Doctrine as Illustrated in a Com­munist Magazine;" Dr. Grover C. Smith, Jr. , assistant professor of English, on "Time Alive: the Serial Time of J. W. Dunneas Adapted by J. B. Priestley;" Dr. John Major, instructor in Eng­lish, "The Moralization of the

Dance in Elyot's 'The Gouvern-our';" Dr. William G. Lane, in­structor in English, "Bentley, Dickens and the Miscellany;" and Dr. Thomas G. Winner, as­sistant professor of Russian lan­guage and literature, "Chekhov and Tolstoy."

Participating in panel discus­sions will be Dr. John H. Fisher, associate professor of English, and A. C. Jordan, assistant pro­fessor of English. Dr. Arlin Turner, professor of English will be commentator for a re­search paper.

from most of the countries on the continent.

A glance around the shop would take in such items as an army commission s i g n e d by George III Oct. 7, 1760; a royal grant signed by Louis XIII of France; a letter from Lord Hood to Earl Cornwallis concerning a young New Yorker called Steph­en Bayard; a letter in which Prime Minister Benjamin Dis-reali calls a conservative mem­ber to vote in the House of Com­mons; and a letter in which Abraham Lincoln comments on a new type of firearm. ART FEATURES

North has several fore-edge paintings (those printed so that if the ends of the leaves of a book are slightly slanted, a pic­ture will appear between the covers). Another ar t feature is a collection of etchings illustrat­ing Christian virtues printed by Hugo Goltzius, Dutch engraver, in 1851 that looks l ike it came off the press yesterday.

A member of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of Lon­don, North has specialized in catalogues on military and mari­time subjects. Working on his 27th catalogue, he states that it will be the most comprehensive ever published in the United States on maritime publications. If it follows the pattern of dis­tribution of his earlier efforts, 310 university libraries will de­mand it, as well as a circle of collectors throughout the States : Canada, M e x i c o and South America. BEGAN AT 17

The collector began his ex­periences when he inherited 300 pounds from a godmother at age 17. "I came to America to life, not to improve my educa­tion," he reminisced. After three three years in various jobs, he began his career on the sea. Pin-

ally, when threats of war hov­ered over his country, he en­tered the British infantry as a second lieutenant in 1939, but this was only after a period as a publisher, journalist and cor­respondent in London.

Late in the war he served closely with Americans as a lieutenant colonel in British Military Intelligence. A disabili­ty forced him to re t i re to a quiet occupation in 1947.

In 1948, he began selling books in Narrangansett Bay, Rhode Island, bringing with him his American wife, five children and twelve tons of books. ENCOURAGING RESPONSE

"The response has been en­couraging so far," he comment­ed about his recent move from his first Rhode Island store to Durham. "My aim is to provide in North Carolina the sort of English antiquarian bookshop

which has not hitherto been available in this area. There is a definite need for a complete collection of English-published books in any university commu­nity."
