PAGE 4 THE BATTALION Wednesday, October 7, 1959 Exchange Student Gets Carver Grant Joseph Yen-Chu Chui, Chinese foreign student here from Hong Kong, is the recipient of a scholar ship from Dr. David J. Carver, a graduate of the University of Rich mond. A Baltimore philanthropist who learned to love Chinese during the years he was in business importing ceramics to the United States is helping pay the education bills of fifteen Chinese students in Ameri can colleges and universities this session. Five of them are attending the University of Richmond. Carver has set up a fund of $100,000—he may eventually raise it to $250,000—for the education of Chinese students. This fund— The David J. Carver, Jr. Memorial Fund, in memory of Dr. Carver’s only son—was set up in the hope that it would help “establish in the world . . . the teachings of Jesus Christ.” Although he suggested that Bap tist institutions be given first pri ority, he made it clear that he did not wish “denominational or other religious considerations” to re- Chou, now a senior, “but I like it.” The reference to Americans al ways being in a hurry brought a “that’s for sure” from Waylai Ling of Formosa, a graduate student. She chuckled, realizing that the “thaVs for sure” was bona fide American slang. Miss Chou, a ma jor in biology, plans a career as a laboratory technician; Miss Ling expects to be a teacher.

And if they like something they like it “terribly”. That’s the way Miss Chou liked the movie “Waterloo Bridge”. She liked fairly well, but “not terribly”, another bridge picture, “The Bridge on the River Kwai.” Patricia Kwa whose major in terest is psychology, intends to work with Chinese children.

M. Nance, head of the department of history and gov ernment, to teach at the Universi ty of Texas. Professor Hill and his wife, Dr. Laurita Hill, have, through their historical publications, achieved recognition not only in this country but also in Europe. They recently received an invitation from the history department of the University of Toulouse to come there in the near future to con tinue their research on the Cru sades in southern France. During the past few years the Hills have co-authoi-ed several ar ticles dealing with medieval life and particulai’ly the Crusades. Their publications have appeared in various journals, including Speculum, American Historical Re view, Medievalia et Humanistica, Annales du Midic (French), and an article has recently been ac cepted for publication by LeMoyen Age (Belgian). A more recent pub lication bringing them internati onal distinction is a' monograph, entitled Raymond IV de St. Gilles which has been translated into with a meritorious study of the European Middle Ages, then he must conclude (as one pf my col leagues in Holland recently rea lized) that the image of this American state apparently needs revision.” “He then understands that his notion of the state in question, formed in school days by juveniles (themselves already behind the times) has not kept pace with re ality.” At present the Hills are at work on the establishment of an 11th century text of a crusading his tory and its translations. They have been supported, in part, in this undertaking by grants from the American Philosophical Soci ety, supplemented by a grant dur ing the past summer from the Committee on the Development of Teaching Personnel here.

Four of the five beneficiaries of the fund at the University are stu dents in Westhampton College, women’s undergraduate division and one, also a woman, is in the Graduate School.

All of the Chinese, with the ex ception of Miss Ling, call Hong Kong their home. Dr. Holtzclaw feels that the de votion of these Chinese to educa tion and to the welfare of their people “back home” is typical of those who are receiving help from the Carver Fund.

The latter study began in 1942 as a dissertation under the super vision of Professor Frederic Dun- calf, medieval scholar at the Uni versity of Texas. The study soon drew the attention of A. N. J. Hollancjer, a Dutch scholar, who wrote in the American Quarterly that “when an individual notices with surprise, that a historian Topping the agenda Monday noon at the regular meeting of the College Station Lions Club in the Memorial Student Center was the showing of the Michigan State- Texas A&M football game held two weeks ago. Capt. Phil Weihs, program chair man for this month, presented the film entertainment. Preceeding the film, Charles Cosper, secretary-ti’easurer of the club, announced plans for the corn- sharing some $6,000 this year. “They are without exception”, he said, “eager to be of help to their people.” Some of them plan to teach, all of them plan to re turn to their own people. The Chinese have had no diffi culty in fitting themselves into the student body. They find Ameri can girls “friendly and kind”. They are a little amused at the way the Americans “go after their food with both hands”, instead of the leisurely one-hand approach of the Chinese with chop-sticks. In fact they are not so much amused as amazed by the hustle and rush of the Americans. “The pace tires me out,” says Jean Chou of the University of Tennes see; George Y.

Neill Hitchcock, diving instruc tor and junior in electrical engi neering, related a few of the crew’s diving experiences in past cruises. On the spring cruise last year, Hitchcock and his diving partner, Bill Green, senior electrical engi neering major, were diving off Freeport. In about 60 feet of water Green speared a large fish. “The last I saw of him, he was being towed away by the fish,” said Hitchcock. “I looked for him for .several minutes, and finally Another incident which proved humorous happened off Galveston. Green had begun to use a new un derwater camera when Hitchcock noticed him groping around on the bottom. He managed to get the message from Green that he was looking for a lost flashbulb. “I almost lost my mouthpiece laughing,” said Hitchcock. “Flash bulbs float.” In addition to the fun of the Susan B.Anthony made her, “Oh Women’s Right to Suffrage,” in 1873.
