  • Thursday, October 20, 1966 CAROLINIAN THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN eWKBi Page 3 Section Viewpoint by Charles S. Stephens Guest Columnist The name J.R.R, Tolkien probably means very little or nothing to today's "well read" college student, but to those of you who take it upon yourselves to keep up with the latest collegiate fads, the name should ring a bell. If the bell rings true then I can imagine what pictures are floating through your head now. You see elves, dwarfs, wizards and innumerable black riders who float out of grey clouds and Instill fear in the hearts of the inhabitants of the Middle Earth. And above all you see Hobbits. If these pictures are clear, then you have obviously read Mr. Tolkien's famous fantasy trilogy THE LORD OF THE RrNGS. Count yourself lucky-according to Esquire magazine, Hobbits are definitely "In" this year. Perhaps this would be a good time to slow down and start over. THE LORD OF THE RINGS is a chronicle of the great War of the Ring, which occurred in the Third Age of Middle Earth. At that time, the One Ring, the Master of all the Rings of Power, has been held for many years by the Hobbits, but was eagerly sought by the Dark Lord who made It. To its wearer, the One Ring gave mastery over every living creature, but since it was de- visied by an evil power, in the end it inevitable corupted anyone who attempted to use it. Out of the struggle to posses and control the One Ring, with all its ominous power, there arose a war comparable both in magnitude and in the issues involved to the great wars on our time. This is essentially what the trilogy deals with--a war for power. Already critics have begun to argue over the place it could possible make for itself among the great works of literature. But back to Hobbits, those strange creatures who not only begin and end the trilogy, but who control most of the action. A Hobbit is, in general appearance, much like a normal man except for the fact that he is about half the size. The important difference lies in the customs and folkways of the strange' creature. Hobbits live in holes mainly, and they take great pride in the fact that their holes have many rooms--some devoted entirely to their wardrobe. They do not work much because it is not necessary, and they eat as many as six meals a day when they can get them. They do not wear shoes because their feet have thick leathery soles and and lots of hair which is always neatly combed. But the predominat characteristic of a Hobbit is that he does not like adventure—and from this fact stems the trouble which e- ventually leads to the War of the Ring. Bilbo Baggins a long respected Hobbit of Hobbiton, actually begins the trouble when he accidentally acquire the One Ring of Power in the introductory book to the trilogy, THE HOBBIT. It falls to his nephew, Frodo Baggins, how- continued on page 4 ROBBIE'S CHAR-BURGER ON WAYNESVILLE HIGHWAY Open 10 Mil 10 Weekends 10 til 11 fHARfn.il REOMFD TO GO ♦w t v 9? v THE NEW INITIATES OF PI KAPPA PHI are, left tol right, back row, Ben Roberson from Asheville, Clyde!

This dis- tlU'bancc of the peace is the quickest and most common way to become a bad dog neighbor. To cure this bad howling habit, we suggest that you accustom your dog to staying quietly alone in one room when you put him there. After your dog has had his morning exercise, put him alone in a room and shut the door, [f he howls, make him stop at once. Occasionally, it may be necessary to punish him by slapping him lightly under the chin. After an hour or so, if he has been quiet, let him conic out. After the dog has had an hour liberty, put him back into the room, then release him again after another hour of jrood behavior. Repeat this all day, and by evening, the do^ will have learned that he must stay quietly in a room alone. The newly initiated Brothers of Theta Xi are, front row, 1. to r.
