Approximately 150 people at tended the lecture, the first in a series by I)r. Murphy. On Feb. 28, at 8 p.m. Dr. Murphy will speak on "The World of Balzac." Speaking on "The Message of Mauriac" at the fourth annual Guignard lecture, Dr. Murphy said that Mauriac's novels "are a series of illustrations of the reality that modern man, with an innate yearn ing for the infinite and the eter nal, is doomed to misery if he seeks to satisfy this yearning with the finite." Dr. Murphy outlinmed Mauriac's literary career, which includes the publication of 20 novels and many volumes of criticism. He said that Mauriac "has heard "harges of pornographer, perni :ious writer, corruptor of youth, and spiritual homicide" and that riis writings "have been a very yontroversial subject, both wvithin and without the Catholic Church, af which he has always been an active member. Dr. Murphy illustrated the philosop)hy and technique of the French author by an analysis of hiis novel, "The WVeakling," the story of a child, unloved and mis mderstood, wvho is tragically iestroyedl. lHe pointedl out that tlthough Mauriac dloes not wvrite rheerfual fiction, he certainly suc :eeds in what he attempts to do. Mauriac says that "evil is pre ;ent in the world, but, he Implies, io is hope, because ours in a re Ieemedl world," Dr. Murphy said.

He told the University Terrace Units. Lhat direction. Hie added that he Carovet apartments, now lousing married veterans, were built on a temporary basis to eccomnodat,e the influx of post war marrie"d students, but that they are not antiquated. The addi tional 74 units would be used for married students. Mayor Dreher and Councilmen Ilyman Rubin and James L. Dod son said they would favor selling the units to the University pro viding that additional space in the northeast section of Columbia be built to accommodate the tene nments in the present project. Voted Against Councilman .John T. Campbell was the only councilman present who voted against selling to the University. The other councilman, W. E. McNulty Jr.. was absent in the hospital. The Columbia Housing Author ity had requested that 150 units instead of 74 be built. Attorney David W.

In 1953, 48 units were sold to the University for $370,000. At that time the remaining portion was appraised at $350,000, the <ale price now uinder consideration.
