He relates this to the story “The Bear” by William Faulkner, which he uses as an allegory for his unwillingness to participate in the armed forces. This writer asserts that he would surely die in the Vietnam War because he is too weak and empathetic, as well as questions why his lack of traditionally masculine traits makes him less sensible and useful to society.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1957 Description An account of the resource This essay, written by freshman John E. Donaldson, was the opening piece in the Fall 1957 edition of The Messenger. In it, Donaldson describes his hesitance toward forced integration. He begins his argument by asserting that he is "not defending the prejudices of the Southern White" and "not condoning his willingness to resort to violence, to disobey the laws, or to close the public schools in order to preserve segregation." However, he sees Southern schools as not ready for such a change as integration, and argues that, if segregation is an evil to be removed, forced integration only introduces new evil and hatred. He urges the federal government to pay mind to "local conditions" before using force to enforce school integration. Donaldson refers to the conflict surrounding the integration of Little Rock's Central High School earlier that year as "a just cause for alarm."

Cook's main argument is that while the university prides itself on being an advanced forward-looking liberal institution, it continues to hold on to its discriminatory policies, a problem Cook admits many Baptist universities faced. Cook also argues that the university's role should be not only to stick to traditional views and norms, but to take active steps in order to push society forward, as to avoid doing so would represent the institution's comfortable place within the past, resulting in the loss of its academic integrity. The article concludes with the statement that for the university to continue to practice segregation would be to fail the students and graduates of the school. Such actions would teach students that it is okay for them to live morally uneducated lives by encouraging close-mindedness and bigotry.

Its title refers to the fictional central character, Nias, an enslaved black man who is characterized as an unintelligent, unhygenic, yet hard-working giant. The writer uses racial slurs to describe him as well. Nias notably attracts many black women wherever he goes, who fight over being able to sleep with him due to his size. He later performs manual labor for the Confederate Army, ultimately dying to save a white man's life.
