Secession Ceremonies Successful By Sylvia Hanna Society Editor The South has officially seceded again, and has not rejoined the Union, according to reports from the annual Kappa Alpha Old South festivities. Donned in Confederate uniforms and accompanied by gaily dressed Southern Belles, members of Kappa Alpha Order hoisted the Stars and Bars last weekend and sang "Dixie" to relive the days of the glorious past when the order was founded. Graves province and Sigma chapter of Smith province joined forces and rallied in Columbia for the fraternity's eighth annual se cession ceremonies.

Jerry Bauk s cup by Arnold Levenson, owner 4how in connection with the con rchandise from the store. (Photo Perplexed liance. It found a rather per plexed audience. Many books authored by Furo pean juveniles have found a home in the Republic; most of them no table only for their distracting habit of placing a bedroom scene on every other page (as in the case of young Parisian Sagan). We Live? Wilson, however, has attempted to deal with an ancient and pain ful problem of existence: the plight of the "Outsider," the indi vidual who can never quite adjust to or conform within the human fold, or believe life to be anything but an unreasonable, unpleasant, hopelessly final experience one must endure before returning to the quiet sanctity of nothingness. In establishing his theme, Wil son illustrates the thoughts of many outsiders: Camus, Kafka, T. E. Lawrence, Van Gogh, Nijin sky, Henry James, Nietzsche, et al. He traces their innermost thoughts on existence (which strangely enough are found in their lesser works) and correlates the ideas much like Seurat devel oped his dotted Impressionist paintings, by blending the singu lar utterances into a composite picture of the subject. Outsiders Are Religious Two factors are impressive: the author's continual affirmation of the religious intensity inherent in Outsiders (even in such scof fers as Nietzsche), ar'd his bril liant development of "unreality" as it pervades the human mind. 'The 25-year-old author has made elaborate preparations for this first book and seems to grasp much of the philosophic under-tow swimming through the past four centuries. His shortcomings are infre quent, but glaring: i.e., a tendency to stir his subjects into a homo genous pot-pourri, causing the reader to feel at times that he is being confronted by an array of remarkably identical, paranoic Storm-troopers, instead of as pro foundly diverse a group ever as sembled to 'nail down' a common spiritual affliction. And, as with most surgeons of philosophy, his thoughts are far superior to his ability in expressing them. Rewards From Shadows The book is shadowy and some times difficult, but rewarding. The young Englishman has handled as well as could be handled the problem of establish ing an affinity and common pur pose among the intellectuals and thinkers of the past few centur ies. If this affinity is grounded in despair and melancholia as Wilson believes (and the reader must be the judge of this), then we must admit the validity of his basic ar gument: that our spiritual sick ness has reached the proportions of an epidemic; and that certain cures must be sought out, beyond the practical and the physical, and perhaps even beyond the panacea of psycho-analytics. Probe Thyself His presentation is uncritical and explorative--and becomes a "reader's book" in the truest sense of the word. For when one reads "The Outsider," his subjective 'spotlight' will be constantly prob ing into the smoky channels of Self. --..nk Smit.
