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.

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.
