Dors( Greel Student Becomes 50-Miler Buckland Follows Kennedy Orders BY MIM RUSSELL Staff Writer When President Kennedy won dered whether today's Marines could hike the 50 miles that Theodor( Roosevelt ordered for them in 1908, Kennedy probably didn't know he - was at that moment innitiating s new fad for the U. S. Marines, college studetns, politicians and practically everyone else. Carolina student Tommy Buck land proved non-chicken in this age of quick, easy transportation. The lanky 6-2 adventurer braved a 50 mile hike in ten hours and twenty two minutes. This hot-footing makes Roosevelt's order seem slow -- the na march was to he 50 miles in three days, spending no more than 20 as hours on foot at a time. Tommy ral expertly prepared himself for the in treck. To eat he brought along sandwiches and plenty of water. For fortification against the ex g, treme cold, he donned two pairs r- of socks, tennis shoes, bermudas, ed seat pants, bluejeans, two shirts, a sweat shirt, a heavy top coat and a Ia- toque (a hat that covers the whole N. face except the eyes). 61 Knowing how far 50 miles is, Tommy didn't lunge into an immedi ate dash. The one-time distance run sre ner stated, "I wasn't that eager. I t- started at a brisk walk, walking by up hills and running down hills." When asked about his hike, which began at 3:30 a.m., he said, "I was >s- bored. The only person I had to talk ng to was my roommate Horace Beas tal ley." Horace followed along on his motorbike. Considering such an adventure in nd one future, the courageous hiker er isserted, "It was a great experience, , but I wouldn't do it again!" All nded pleasantly enough - smiles nd Tommy, "I have not one blister, my is feet aren't a bit sore." A.

ABEEL h: A literary mystery is being un raveled by the slow, painstaking J work of scholarly "detectives" en gaged in research. C Principals in the mystery are author Thomas Wolfe and Editor al Edward C. Aswell, whose tamper- m ing with the dead author's unfin- Ie ished works is the main element of; the mystery's "plot." In the supporting cast are literary a< researchers, among them Dr. George M. Reeves of the Department of ! English at the University of South a Carolina. w The scenes icueAwl' d-l torial .'urgery in which Wolfe's later wvorks are incised, patchedR w with questionable skill, and sutured g together for publication. The main witness in what has be- n1 come a public trial of Aswvell's edi- lc torial practices - or malpractices --is Richard Kennedy. a young liter ary detective. b A far-fetched dIramatization of a *1 real-life story ? Maybe. el Beyond doubt, USC's Dr. Reeves and other Thomas Wolfe scholars are more than a little enthusiastic ibout Richard Kennedy's' newv book, " "The Window of Memory," which * Dr. Reeves says is "by far the most important pubilication about Wolfe ' during the entire 25 years since his death." nl At the Sorbonne in Paris, where ItI Dr. Reeves studie'd, his dloctoral dis sertation-written in French-was "~ published wvith the title, "Thomas ~ Wolfe and Europe." I Dr. Reeves is convinced that thea new revelations will mean that Wolfe's later works "wvill have to be re-edited." As a result, he be lieves "one of our most talented authors (Wolfe) may eventually t 'find his rightful place in the publica mind and in literary history.v Wolfe, author of "Look Home ward, Angel" and "Of Time and y the River," is knowvn "as a wvriter of almost unlimited energy, who poured a out wvords in an endless flow, some- 3 times writing five, six or eight thousand words in a day," according ,a to the legend which grew during -a Wolfe's lifetime, Dr. Reeves said.

However, the University of South trolina professor continued, Wolfe ed before he did much about his iblic "image," and the "exagger ed picture" of the author remained od became one of the chief prob ms of scholarly researchers. In his lifetime. Wolfe published i number of short stories and short >vels, but only two of his long itobiographical novels," Dr. Reeves id. One of the two long novels was finished product, "Look Home ard, Angel." which tells od Wolfe's 'e in Asheville, N. C. But the other, "Of Time and the vr"was actually unfinished ana as sent to press by Wolfe's editoi ithout the author's consent. Although Wolfe resented the pre ature publication of the second ng book, the reception given it as so immediately enthusiastic at the author became reconciled. But he never forgot that the >ok had been taken out of his mnds, and about twvo years later he hanged editors and publishers. A year after the change, Wolfe ed. Drn. Reeves said the author's death eft a tremendous heap of manun ript in the hands of his second litor, Edwvard C. Aswvell of Harper idl Brothers." Wolfe had not intendled that the anuscripts wvould be published in e form in which he left them, r. Reeves said.

After Wolfe died, Aswell decided >extract the books himself. "Aftei 11," Dr. Reeves commented, "tihe arious stories and episodes (lid fit >ughly into an overall plan that Tolfe had wvritten dlowTn."

The band was started by Dorsey fter his separation from his -rother, Jimmy, in 1936. A year ater the band followed their ap :oval in New York with a nation ide tour-from Times Square to exas. The hand subbed for the 'red Waring group on radio and he orchestra became one of the iost popular in the country. Many famous musicians got their tart with the Tommy Dorsey Or -:iestra including Bunny Berigan, ilen Miller, Ray McKinley, Bob rosby, Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, 'rank Sinatra, Dick Haymes, Jo ;tafford ,and the Pied Pipers. Sam Donahue, the current maes ro, started in music at a young ge, as did Dorsey. He could play our instruments while still in high chool. Donahue's Start Donahue got his start with Gene :rupa's band and moved on to vork with Harry James and Benny .oodman. The latter got Sam tarted with his own band but the var came and Sam joined the Navy vhere he continued to play music. Sam's band had never played to rether but when the war was over, hey all came back together and layed for several years. After go ng back to work with the Navy nd semi-retirement because of ill .ealth, Donahue was given a job y Tommy Dorsey. Donahue be -ame assistant leader ,arranger, and axophone soloist. Donahue spent a while with Dor ey and moved out to take over he helm of the Billy May Orches ra. In 1961, he returned to the )orsey Orchestra. Biggest Seller Tommy Dorsey recorded over 300 ongs with sales totaling seventy nillion. His biggest seller was his heme, "I'm Getting Sentimental )ver You." Two of Dorsey's records set rends that are still around today. Marie" introduced choral back cround. "Song of India" introduced ie "swveet-swing" Dorsey arrange nents. Sam Donahue explains the band's urrent success. "T~ue day os gone vhen the musicians play the music hey want to hear. One of the rea onis for our success is that we -ealize the band must play for the ublic's satisfaction and not for the nusician's own pleasure." Spin-Dryer Fad Junked The University threw cold water Tmto the student-in-the-spin-.dryer fad. After Dr. R. B. McNulty, the University physician, reported to ,he administration on the medical iazards of a spin-dryer ride, a USC pokesman said students who par icipate in the "dangerous fad" face lisciplinary action. A University student Sunday light claimed he set a spin-dryer ide record with 1,553 revolutions ni 37 minutes and 23 seconds, after which he is said to have emerged 'romn the dryer with h:is head turned iright red in color. An additional factor, the Univer ity spokesman said, Is the disregard :or private property shown by per ons who cram themselves into dry 'rs.
