Marc] *.BY PRECIOUS ZURLO Assistant Feature Editor One day it's sunny; the next day it's cold. That's March for you. The old adage that March "comes in like a lion and out like a lamb" seems to be a little off base this year. With summer-like days the month minced in shed ding warmth and sunshine and premature ap r i n g fever. The empty libraries attest to that. It's a little frightening to know that March is really here. You can't relax and ship your wool I RVeadejr's JOHN ADAMS AND THE PROPH ETS OF PROGRESS. By Zoltin Harasati. 836 pages. Price: $2.25. Grosset & Dunlap's Universal Li brary. On February 23, 1964, Grosset & Dunlap published the paper back edition of ZoltAn Haraszti's John Adams and the Prophets of Progress - considered by many historians, scholars and critics to be "the best single work that has yet been written about Adams." John Adams and the Prophets i of Progress presents some of the I most valuable material brought to light in the past 60 years about the man and his thought. As he read the "great books" of the 18th i century - the works of Boling- I broke, Rousseau, Turgot, Voltaire, J Condorcet, M a r y Wollstonecraft, I among many others - Adams en- t gaged in argument with them, 3 writing his impassioned comments t on the margins. His notes follow I one another so closely that real Foreign By PAM VESTAL Staff Writer Tom Dinney, of Ahmadi, Kuwait, is a sophomore in the School of Business Administra tion. Although he hails from so far away, Toni is an American, with a very interesting back ground. Tom's father is Lebanese, his m o t h e r American. They met and married in the States, and t ~ Tomt Dinney from Kuwaih lived here until 1947, when theyi mn o v e d to Kuwait, a small, enormously wealthy oil prov , vince in Arabia.

A novice often has journalistic qualifications of which he is un aware. He also is the one who stands to benefit most from tho discipline and experience offered by the college paper. The beginner even may have an advantage over the student who worked on a newspaper In high school. Although some high schools p r o d u e e excellent publications, many fail to maintain high Sjournalistic standards, and some high schools produce little more than gossip sheets. Even the schools which strive for quality often are hampered by obsolete cnepnts and technique. L Int( clothing back horn, and yet you t need to have your spring clothes o handy for these warm days.

Mr. Haraszti reproduces the arger part of these "dialogues," riving brief excerpts from the exts accompanied by Adams' omments. Introductory essays on dams and his political philoso )hy are followed by chapters de- b ,oted to individual authors, each >receded by Haraszti's discussions >f their works.

However, the admin- e istration frowns severely upon the r misuse of Slater System food in- s gredients. True to the Carolina tradition, a some less intelligent students greet the situation with a smile and a cynical sneer. Teams have been formed and a new style of Red Rover devised. One team lines up on each side of the runway, and they proceed to chant the charming little ditty of childhood. The chosen victim then proceeds to courageously dart in between the onset of autos. A broken leg detracts five points, and a busted arm deprives the victim's team of three points. A similar scale is set up for various injuries. No skates or sirens are allowed.
