The new discoveries, near Diyarbakir in the headwaters of theTigris River, came in levels of a sitefounded before the beginnings ofpottery making.Members of the expedition said thearcheological discoveries of the toolsare a classic case of scientific seren¬dipity—the discovery of somethingnot directly sought.THE EXPEDITION’S declaredgoal was to seek evidence of the be¬ginnings of early village farmingcommunities. Metal objects, at soearly a stage in mankind’s develop¬ment, were certainly not anticipated,according to the members of theexpedition.The expedition included scholarsand scientists from four countries.It began its work in the field in Octo¬ber, 1963. It completed at least thefirst portion of its work in July, 1964.LETTERS TO THE EDITORLeviland or Disneyland?TO THE EDITOR:I would like to make a suggestionfor Provost Levi’s plan for The Col¬lege. We should give names to these“area colleges or sections” to furtherincrease the status and image of theUniversity, as the Provost seems sointent upon doing. Let us call oneAdventureland, another Frontierland,Tomorrowland, and Fantasyland.The name of the University can bechanged to Disneyland. The new as¬sociate Deans should be Messrs.Walt Disney, Walt Lantz, Hannahand Barbera. If he so desires, ActingDean Levi can become the permanentDean of the area colleges.This suggestion, actually, is nomore preposterous than Mr. Levi’sis unnecessary. We already have, ineffect, everything that the Provostproposes in regard to the undergrad¬uate education. A student takes hisgeneral education courses eventuallyand has plenty of time to arrangehis major. If he has been advisedwisely by the venerable advisers,his course of study will be logicaland well integrated. The student cango without the prolusive title andstatus of having been a part of an“area college or section.”Possibly, though, as Provost Leviindicates, the faculty needs the moraleof adding even more bombastic pre¬fixes to their already exaggeratedtitles in order to take a greater in¬terest in the Undergraduate Division.Unfortunately, and to paraphrase onenoted American, “you can’t legislatemorales.” If faculty morale is solow and the disinterest so great, Isuggest the problem is not with theUndergraduate Division and Collegemake-up but with the administrativeestablishment.A disturbing thing about this planis the way it has been “proposed”to the student body. When the Pro¬vost and Acting Dean of the Collegesuggests something and the Presi¬dent of the University seconds it soquickly (in the October 20th editionof the Maroon), it is in fact no pro¬ posal at all but a statement of actualpolicy for the future. Therefore, thereis no room for discussion on the“proposal” because the two topmembers of the University admini¬strative establishment have alreadydecided on the “proposal.” Thewhole illusion of proposal is aboutas subtle as Premier Khrushchev’s“resignation” from the Soviet throne.But since the plan will go intoeffect, I suggest further that theLevi plan may be a disguise for defacto segregation. If this is the case,then all the white boys can be called“White Levis” and all the Negroescan be called “Black Levis.” Atleast this will replace the term “PinkLevis.” To wit, in regard to theProvost’s proposals, I would like topropose a new Provost.ABE AAMIDORSWAP tutors object toFriday MAROON treatmentTO THE EDITOR:The SWAP Tutor Football Teamof Champions respectfully submitsthat the headline on the captioncovering the SWAP-Bowl story wasgross misrepresentation of the facts.The game, as any football fanwould have quickly observed, wasnot an “upset” but rather and muchmore correctly, a smashing victoryof the older, more-seasoned teamover the up-and-coming, but none-the-less, rinky-dink (see SWAP slangdictionary) rookie team. Especiallysince the offer posted in the SWAPoffice prior to the game offering toaccept bribes from the tutees, wentunaccepted the tutors felt no qualmsabout showing their true colors.We hope you will see fit to cor¬rect this unfortunate slip on Fridayat the Tutor-vs-Tutee VolleyballGame, when the SWAP Girl TutorVolleyball team of Champions“shoots the tutee ginks through thegrease” (see SWAP Slang Diction¬ary).The Top-Notched Tutors Further expeditions are contemplatedfor the future. Braid wood, professorin the Oriental Institute and depart¬ment of anthropology, directed theexpedition with Professor Halet Cam¬bel, a distinguished woman scholarfrom the University of Istanbul.THE AREA IN which the moundis located is believed to have beeninhabited as long as 100,000 years.The village in which the tools werefound existed about 9,000 years ago.Radio carbon testing now underwayis expected to pinpoint more accu¬rately the period in which the tools—and the village itself—existed.In the words of Cambel andBraid wood, the discovery of thecopper tools “shows us the momentwhen man might first have begunto ‘feel’ the properties of metal asmetal rather than as stone. Reflectingupon this from the full daylight ofour metal age, those first faintstreaks of dawn are an exciting thingto think about.”The settlement itself was in theform of an early village farmingcommunity. The “test” excavationsat the site indicate what the excava¬tors call “an exuberance” in archi¬tecture.THE EXPEDITION found severalbuildings which were surprisingly im¬posing. Tests indicated that one ofthe buildings contained a broad pav¬ing of smoothed flagstones beneatha thick stone wall one yard high.On the paved floor was s* uprightstone slab, and the butts of two simi¬lar slabs. They might have been thefurnishings of shrines or temples, butthe excavators say, “We still knowfar too litle of the site to say this.”They are, however, “impressed bythe substantial proportions and rela¬tive sophistication of the masonry ofthe portions of the buildings we ex¬posed.”CAMBEL AND BRAIDWOOD saidthey were most excited about thediscovery of three bits of wire, prob¬ably of copper, in the shape of pins.“If these pins were actually madeof copper, they must have been coldhammered to form the shapes theyhave. The bent example, in particu¬lar, may show that these peopleknew they were working with a sub¬stance that was not stone, but ra¬ther metal. We must still await def¬inite laboratory analysis of the ob¬jects before we may be px>sitive,however.“If the ‘wire’ objects prove to havebeen of copper, this will then be thefirst known instance of man usingmetal as a metal rather than as an¬other object such as stone or wood.“It was, as one can imagine, anexciting discovery, foreshadowingthe true beginnings of metallurgy.True metallurgy involves the smelt¬ing of ores, and casting. The Cayonuobjects do not imply this next step.”These pins were probably used assimple tools, most likely as an awlor drill for piercing small holes,Braid wood added.SEVERAL NATURAL SCIEN¬TISTS, participated in the expedition,including Marvin R. Mikkesell, as¬sociate professor of geography atUC.They examined the excavated ma¬terial in an attempt to interpret theenvironment in which food produc¬tion was first achieved.

Corridor, 10 a.m.-2 p.m.Sponsored by Interclub Council Provost and Acting Deanof the College Edward II.Levi, in his controversial re¬port containing suggestionsas to the future of the Col¬lege, states that now is thetime for the College to pushahead in an effort to trainboth future academicians andfuture professionals. Now isnot the time, Levi adds, foreveryone concerned to giveup on the College; rather, itsproblems must be tackled di¬rectly rather than obscured orignored.If there’s a prevailing credothroughout the Levi report,it is the above. Actual chang¬es in the curriculum and inthe balance of power are notnearly as important as thewell- grounded, progressivespirit and energy with whichand as a result of which anyand all changes will comeabout. Thus, in a sense, thecurriculum and the balance ofpower will be left more orless indefinite, with diversitybeing encouraged and com¬mon sense being expected toprevail.To us, this philosophymakes the best of sense, butonly in theory and not prac¬tically. It is the only possibleway to encourage the con¬tinued existence of liberal ed¬ucation while not losing sightof what we might call the civ¬ic obligation that the Univer¬sity has to its students — tomake citizens as well as schol¬ars. However, as good as Mr.Levi’s intentions are, we feelthat it must be pointed outthat spirit and energy alonewill not significantly alter theCollege for the better. Alongwith spirit and energy isneeded a fresh, progressiveplan of specifics, perhaps evenrevolutionary specifics, t omake reality out of theory.In this connection, the Levireport, which is admittedlyunspecific, regrettably missesthe mark.In simplest terms, we won¬ der if the area colleges prop¬osal is not in essence just anew name for the existingCollege sections system. Theonly major differences wouldbe the clause that wrould havestudents admitted to one areacollege instead of the Collegeat large and the year-longfourth year seminars, whichwould give, Levi writes, “anintegrating view of the field.”However, a great many as¬pects would remain the same.Students would still be ableto take electives in other areacolleges; they would still besubjected, much as Mr. Leviattempts to deny it, to somesort of division between thegeneral education and special¬ization components of theirundergraduate work; andthey would still be forced todecide on a particular major— although the choice wouldnot be absolutely binding —by their second year.Even at this stage, whichis admittedly one of planning,we feel that more emphaticand more potentially benefi¬cial plans could have beenmade. Although it is all to thegood that diversity would beencouraged, it is easier toimagine total curricular con¬fusion than constructive in¬dividuality without an itegra-tive, organizing principle laiddown at the beginning. Thingssimply will not take care ofthemselves; a supplementarydefinitive statement on policyspecifics from Mr. Levi wouldbe most welcome.Nevertheless, wre again ap¬plaud as we did in the Octo¬ber 2 issue the intended con¬structive nature of Mr. Levi’sreport. We have felt all alongthat UC must take stock ofand reorganize its curriculumaccording to one central, basicsystem or theory. Mr. Levi’sis only a partial and, as ofnow, incomplete answer, butis a step in the right direc¬tion. We must soon come upwith a more specific versionof his or a new one altogether,for, as Mr. Levi has recog¬nized, the need is pressing.Schwartz Bros.

We want to be surethere is no separation between thepersons teaching and those testing,”Hayes said.Students stealing exams in advancehave never been a problem, accord¬ing to Hayes. “In fact, I’ve neverheard of such a thing here,” heclaims.Frequent confusionMore troublesome, however, isthe frequent confusion between proc¬tors and students during exams.“The instructions for proctors arewritten out, so the proctor has aguide,” Hayes said. “There is a standard routine for the exams, witha few adjustments for certain tests.Both the directions and routine arereviewed periodically to insure thatthey are appropriate for the exam,”he added.* * OCC ASSION ALLY, the proctorsmisinterpret or misunderstand theinstructions. Then we take a secondlook at the procedures and theproctors. Both of these are constant¬ly being changed,” Hayes related.“But a great many proctors areneeded here at UC, especially dur¬ing placement tests, so that peoplewho have never proctored beforemay do so. Even then we try to puta new proctor with an experiencedone,” Hayes said.“And if a problem arises, well,it’s my job to fix it,” Hayes con¬cluded.Eastern reps comingPotential law students or MBAcandidates will have an opportunityto speak to a representative of NewYork University or the Universityof Virginia during November.On November 4, F.

Despite the elimination ofthe comprehensive examina¬tion from Humanities I, thestaffs of Social Science I andWestern Civilization have no plansto change their status as compcourses, the Maroon learned thisweek.In interviews, Ralph Lemer, as¬sistant professor of the social sci¬ences and chairman of Social Sci¬ence I; and Jock Weintraub, assist¬ant professor of history and chair¬man of Western Civilization, bothindicated that no special staff meet¬ings will be held to consider the po¬sition of their courses as two ofonly three courses in the collegestill maintaining the comprehensiveexam.No spokesman for the RomanceLanguages, the third departmentmaintaining comps, could be reachedfor comment.Western CivWE’VE ALWAYS though there isan advantage to students graduallyacquainting themselves with thecourse,” said Weintraub of Western Civilization. He dismissed com¬plaints that students fall behind incomp courses by saying that thiswas the students’ own fault.Weintraub denied the existence ofany pressure to make his coursenoncomp. He said, however, that“there’s the abstract fact which wewill eventually feel as pressure thatwe are one of the few survivingcomp courses.”As to the Humanities I change it¬self, Weintraub felt that he shouldn’tjudge that staff’s decision. “Theyhave their good reasons,” he said.Any decision by the Western Civi¬lization staff on the nature of thecourse’s examination, Weintraubsaid, would depend on whether ornot the College wants uniformity inits examination system.Soc fLemer also stressed the import¬ance of any general College policyon examinations in any future de¬cisions by his staff on the nature ofSocial Science I. But he added that“No one has yet argued that uni¬formity in the mode of examinationis a virtue to be preferred over matters of educational policy.Lemer did not feel that the compnature of his oourse was a doctrinalquestion in the College at the pres¬ent time. “The mode of examina¬tion,” he said, “is adapted to theneeds of the course.”AS TO THE claim that st’identslag in their work when they faceonly one examination a year, I*>rnersaid that the Social Science I staffhad not observed any adverse ef¬fects of the comp system on study.“If we do,” he added, “we willreconsider the system.” Lemernoted that students in comp coursesmust pass a quarterly advisorytest to take the next quarter of thecourse.7 comps droppedA total of seven courses havedrojjped their comprehensive exami¬nations in the past five years.Humanities III and Biology werefirst in 1960.Physical Science and EnglishComposition followed suit in 1961.Social Science II went noncomp in1962. Humanities II in 1963, andHumanities I this year.Alpha Dell will offer TVand election night wakeThe number of television setsavailable to students in the dormi¬tory system and those living in apart¬ments, is unfortunately limited.

RASHOMON (tonight) is the filmthat opened the eyes of the West toOriental cinema by taking severalfestival awards. The now famousclassic has recently been remade byMartin Ritt (HUD) into a westerncalled THE OUTRAGE. This revamp¬ing of Kurasawa’s parable on Truthstars Lawrence Harvey, ClaireBloom, and Paul Newman as thegreasy Mexican bandit. Cinema stu¬dents might find it profitable to seethe original and the new version inclose succession, providing the Amer¬ican remake gets to Chicago soon.For thought-provoking reference, seeAndrew Sards’ comparison in thisweek’s Village Voice.PSYCHO (Sun.) is Alfred Hitch¬cock’s very popular and very bril¬liant 1961 suspense thriller. This isAlfred the Great’s most excruciatingexercise in the management of audi¬ence emotions. He also manages toget good performances out of JanetLeigh and Anthony Perkins, who suc¬cessfully overshadow Vera Miles (apseudo-Grace Kelly) and John Gavin(a neo-Rock Hudson).Hitchcock fans will want to makecomparisons between PSYCHO andTHE LADY VANISHES, (Tues.) the1938 comedy adventure.

Searle ischief of G. D. Searle & Co., Chicagomedical research and prescriptiondrug company. The new building willbear tlx; Searle family name.IN ANNOUNCING tlx; grant, UCPresident George VV. Beadle said,“The Searle gift, with other fundsalready provided and with funds tobe raised, will permit the Universityto develop a modem research lab¬oratory that will challenge facultyand students alike. In the yearsahead, our chemistry faculty andtheir students will honor the Searlesby significant contributions to knowl¬edge in a science that offers somuch for society.”A. Adrian Albert, Dean of the Di¬vision of the physical sciences,pointed out that the department ofchemistry is housed in Kent andJones laboratories and in the Insti¬tute for the Study of Metals. TheKent space houses most of the in¬structional needs of the department,and a major part of its renovationhas been completed.“The research facilities, on theother hand,” he said, are dividedbetween the Institute for the Studyof Metals and Jones Laboratory’.The space available under this ar¬rangement is both obsolete and in¬adequate.“The new chemistry building willprovide a modem laboratory whichis badly needed. The delicate ex¬periments of today need a dust-free,temperature-controlled and vibra¬tion-free environment which we donot have at the present time. Thenew building should be of great helpin the high quality faculty and grad¬uate students which a Departmentof Chemistry of top rank musthave.”ALBERT POINTED out that thepresent, inadequate facilities for thechemistry and student body wereerected long before the present de¬mand for atmosphere-controlled en¬vironments such as are planned forthe new structure.ALL VOL^WAGEW^PEAL 0?S CAW SELLVOU A NEW '65 vvvsepaw rof&*1647OU£ PRICE IS THESAME.

Ofthis sum, about $2 million alreadyhas been raised, including the Searlegift and a grant of $1 million fromthe National Science Foundation,Washington, D.C,According to present plans, thenew building will be on the east sideof Ellis Avenue between Snell Hall,a graduate student dormitory, andthe Administration building.The chemistry building is viewedby the University's administrationas one of the priority items in itslong-rang plan for erecting and im¬proving a number of facilities forfaculty and students on the Mid¬way. It is scheduled for early com¬pletion, among these priority proj¬ects. Important research and teach¬ing programs are being developedin the hope that the laboratory willbe constructed relatively soon.Tlie new’ chemistry building willfeature a number of major and sep¬arate laboratories in which social¬ized research can be conducted, per¬mitting rhe re-location of a numberof teaching and research groupswithin the chemistry department toa central chemistry building com¬plex. It is hoped that this will im¬prove the highly necessary inter¬action of chemists interested invarying disciplines.THE BUILDING DESIGN pro¬vides for five floors of research fa¬cilities and a sub-basement for stor¬age and maintenance equipment. Thebuilding will contain about 88.000square feet of usable space.Tlie administrative offices of thedepartment of chemistry will be onthe ground floor, as wrell as a semi¬nar room for research groups, astudent <hop and a darki’oom.Tlie rest of the ground floor andthe first floor will be devoted tophysical chemistry and chemicalphysics. There will be facilities forthe storage of liquid nitrogen, hy¬drogen and helium for low tempera¬ture experiments; microwave spec¬trometers for paramagnetic experi¬ments on magnetic compounds, andapparatus for measuring magneticsusceptibilities, low' temperature heatcapacities, magno-oplieal rotation ofthe plane of polarized light, and theultraviolet, visible and infrared ab¬sorption spectra of crystals.THE SECOND FLOOR will be de¬voted to research in inorganic andradiation chemistry. Studies oncrystal and molecular structure, iso¬topic tracers, and kinetic isotopic ef¬fects will be conduced Ixire.The top two floors will be used fororganic, physical organic, and bio-organic chemistry. Individual labora¬tories for three or four faculty mem¬bers are planned on each floor. Inaddition, larger laboratories will ac¬comodate three or four graduate stu¬dents or postdoctoral research fel¬lows. UC theologions: Port 4 — Father McDonoughReligion must equal UC pace“Everyone’s on the thres¬hold around here,” states Fa¬ther Thomas B. McDonough,UC Chaplain to Catholic stu¬dents and director of Calvert Houf>e.“Students have the world aheadof them professors are always seek¬ing, everyone is more interested andkeen. Thus, religion has to be moreintense and keen liere, too. There isa constant need for the re-examina¬tion of religious life, as everythingelse around here,” McDonough be¬lieves.In Calvert House he attempts torelate religion to immediate conse¬quences a* well as to the next life,and to seek the intellectual com¬ponent in faith.As chaplain. Father McDonoughsees a threefold purpose to CalvertHouse. Tlx; liturgical aspect providesCatholic students with the oppor¬tunity for daily worship. “Our chapel,which holds 96, Is usually full forboth morning and noon mass,” saysFather McDonough, "and studentsnow also desire a late afternoonservice.” Intellectually, CalvertHouse seeks development in religiousknowledge and experience for itsstudents through lectures, classes,and seminars. An informal socialprogram completes the activities, inwhich ‘‘Calvert House becomes aplace where Catholics can meetCatholics.”CollaborationThis year, Calvert House is col¬laborating writh other UC Christianorganizations to hold seminars titled, “Faith and Thought, 1964-1.965,” anddaily worship at Bond Chapel, whichis conducted each day by a differentgroup. “A sense of unity wilil comefrom undersUmding each other’sliturgical practices,” believes FatherMcDonough.“WE MUST LOOK to ourselves forinternal renewal in tins job of rele¬vance. All Christian groups must getover internal divisions. There is agreat thirst among Christians forrecognizing their common faith andcommitment stemming from tliesame sources.”Father McDonough has Ixren at UCsince 1947. Presently, in addition tohis work at Calvert House, lie editsthe Catholic Press (a book publishingfirm) and acts as contributing editorfor the Chicago Studies, a theologicalreview, and New City, “a socialaction * gazine of the Archdiocese,”as he describes it.UC law degreeHe studied at Saint Mary of theLake Seminary, Mundelein. Illinois,and for a short time worked as ajiarish priest. While at UC. lie at¬tended law school, and received hisDegree of Doctor of Law in 1959.Claiming to practice “an academickind of law,” Father McDonoughsays "the First Anx'ndment free¬doms. church and state cases, andcivil liberties interest me most.”ON THE QUESTION of aid toparochial schools. Father McDonoughterms it a “legislative decision, since‘here are no constitutional barriersto aiding all private schools. Thefact that some private schools are also religious is irredevam as long mgovernmental aid goes only for secu¬lar purposes. If, in fact, money Isdenied because the school is reli- ,gioius, a constitutional discriminationwould arise.”Father McDonough professes t«>“what is considered a venial sin inHyde Park: voting a straight ticket (in elections.”Democrat, dismayedA Democrat, the chaplain is ‘‘per.sonaUy dismayed” by some Reixibli- \cans’ willingness in this campaignto take advantage of etimic groups'racial feelings. As examples he citesthe Italians, Poles. Lithuanians, andIrish, who have recently established >security in this nation. Yet, lx doesnot think this present political actionis greatly significant, as “most ofthese ethnic groups will vote demo¬cratic."For all of his political views,Father McDonough stresses that iv\are “personal opinion, not those ofa political scientist.”THE TOPICS OF ANTI-SEMITISM 1was aroused on campus last year bythe theatrical production of "TheDeputy,” and Father McDonoughthen came to a new realization on“the earnestness of the question andour (Christian) inability to answer it. 'Today, he states his personal con¬clusion to be, “Any explanation orjustification that Christians maymake of anti-Semitic episodes in diepast sound so bad to our modernears, that an attempt should not evenbe made. Instead, we should lookonly to he future.” tMorgenthau, Brozen commentHoover death source of sadnessOUR USED CARSARE GREAT TOO!100% GUARANTEEPARTS AND LABOR 30 DAYS$1195$1295$1795$1 MS'64 SIMCA4-dr.

Hoover was truly a wonderfulhuman being but he was not a greatstatesman.” Morgenthau added that“because Hoover failed in the eco¬nomic crisis, he was justly defeatedby Franklin Roosevelt in 1932.”Yale Brozen, professor of eco¬nomics in the Graduate School ofBusiness, called Hoover’s death“the passing of an era.” Brozen saidthat “Hoover was a symbol of an era.Those people that remember the 20’swill remember Hoover, the humani¬tarian, fondly.”BROZEN FELT tliat Hoover wasunjustly blamed for the economicdepression of tlx? 30‘s.

No luck here.One of the principal attractions ofthe opera is the second act balletsequence, given as an entertain¬ment from the king to the mis¬tress. Ruth Page’s choreographymade it certain that the balletwould be uninteresting, but theLyric corps de ballet made sure itwould be a total rout. PatriciaKlekovic and Jeanne Armin werequite good, but the entire com¬pany dancing together were littlebetter than a troupe of trainedbears.The opera may sound like a wasteof an evening, but this would befar too harsh. Those who resistedwalking out after the second actheard real grand ooera, sung as itought to be sung; those who gavein to the temptation missed thethree greatest performances of theevening.One of these was Fiorenza Cossot¬to, who played the king's leman. andwho is, for my money, one of thebest dramatic sopranos singing.Early in the ooera, admittedly, shehit a few clinkers, but as shewarmed to the role she exhibited arange of tone and timbre, as wellas a purity of sound, that well sur¬passed Grace Bumbry' at her best.The second was by Ivo Vinco,who, with Cossotto, is in his Ameri¬can debut here.

Eighty thousand votes were cast. This yearanother “freedom vote” is scheduled,as the coming election is beyondreach as far as the Mississippi Negropopulation is concerned. (For exam¬ple, a Mrs. Hamer in Mississippicollected 800 signatures to have hername placed on the ballot againstSenator Eastland. She needed 206,and all but 150 were rejected—main¬ly because they were improperly ornot registered.The freedom vote this year willextend over the four days precedingand including election day, and willbe held in stores, rooms, and related locations. Two sets of volunteersfrom the North are involved. Onecontingent has been in Mississippi thispast week, canvassing votes for theFreedom Democratic Party candi¬dates. The next contingent will leaveSunday and stay through electionday, canvassing and working in theelection itself.THE MAIN PURPOSE of this elec¬tion is to have the votes on record,so that when Senator John Stennisand the five congressmen are elected,there will be support for an appar¬ently very possible challenge in con¬ gress to their being seated. If thischallenge succeeds, the greatestchances indicate that Mississippiwould be unrepresented in Congress.Signatures of those who wouldhave voted had they been permittedto register are also being collectedto reinforce the challenge in Congresswith the illegality of the electionresulting from denial of suffrage,which under the Fourteenth Amend¬ment could be used to reduce Mis¬sissippi’s representation.This project, as well as the Sum¬mer Project, and the planned south- wide “Black-Belt Project” next sum-mer, are all part of the main func¬tion of SNCC, which as a nationalorganization is to set up projects inthe South promoting Negro Civilrights, and supporting these projectswith materials, people, and publicity.Among these last is a series ofseminars on the civil rights move¬ment the weekend of November 20,and at some as yet unspecified timein late November a conference isbeing planned which will involvestudents from Wisconsin, Illinois,Minnesota, and Michigan.Coffee Plus: UC Mississippi freedom workers tell all*We were sitting out on theporch of our office and no¬ticed a plane flying over drop¬ping leaflets.

New York:Viking Press, 1964, $5.75.The preliminary shouting:, mostof it justified, is over. For thefirst time since Lolita we have abest seller that deserves its suc¬cess. Herzog: should no longer re¬quire either summary or praise.Let us begin, instead, those sec¬ond and third readings which onlybooks as fine as Herzog can sus¬tain. We will find, I think, thatour major task is to come to termswith the novel’s ideas.The reviewers have given theimpression that on the whole theysee it as an engaging lx>ok, yes,certainly, a splendid, engagingl>ook, hut. But what? But marredby an overload of ideas, or by afailure to argue the ideas through,or (this in V. S. Pritchett, whoannoyed me most) by mere clever¬ness. No one has said right out inmeeting that the ideas of Herzogare beyond him, but when a re¬viewer dismisses Bellow’s wonder¬fully profound intellectual comedyas “high-class corn” one has one’ssuspicions.If Bellow is merely clever, I’dlike to know who is profound. Itis true that the book is full of akind of genuine cleverness (mykind is “genuine,” yours is “mere”)that any humorist might envy:the simple idea of having the cuck¬old conduct an oblique battleagainst his deceivers by writingwild letters “to the newspapers, topeople in public life, to friends andrelatives and at last to the dead,and finally to the famous dead” —■finally, in fact, to God Himself;the “clever” assemblage of foolsand knaves, fully tricked out intheir various kinds of nonsense.I‘.ut the real trouble seems to bethat all of this is surrounded by.imbedded in, an Encyclopedia ofModem Ideas. “Dear Doktor Pro¬fessor Heidegger, T should like toknow what you mean by the ex¬pression ‘the fall into the quotidi¬an.’ When did this fall occur?Where were we standing when ithappened?” Dear Spinoza, DearNietzsche, Dear Freud. Dear Pro¬fessor this and Herr Doktor that— what are we to do with all ofthis intellectual freight? I canthink of few modern novelists whohave read, really read, as manySerious Books in All Fields as Bel¬low, or who have allowed as manysigns of their hard reading to getinto their novels. Aldous Huxley,nerhaos; Thomas Mann; WilliamGaddis, whose Recognitions con-THE EDUCATED IMAGINATION.Northrop Frye, Bloomington: Indi¬ana U niversity Press, 1964, 156pp.In his latest book Northrop Fryehas chosen a subject so broad thata reader must immediately putaside any hope of having a com¬pletely developed, neatly finishedargument presented to him. Tostate that this book is about thevalue and uses of literature in ourtime is to be hopelessly vague,hut any further narrowing of thetopic would fail to include someimportant aspect concerning liter¬ature and its relation to society tains — or so T remember it — acomplete redaction of the worksof Plato. Each of these can bedefended, in his own terms, butBellow’s mixture of idea and ac¬tion is entirely his own. Does itfinally hold together?Most other successful “novels ofideas” can be defended on thegrounds that the ideas help deter¬mine what happens. But as BellChevigny points out, in one of thebest reviews of Herzog (Bellowrecommends it too; go right nowand read it in The Village Voice,periodical room, east wall, bottomshelf, issue of October 8): in thisnovel it is not ideas, or even theintellect, that makes things hap¬pen. Neither of Herzog’s major de¬cisions — to kill his deceivers andthen not to kill them — springsdirectly from his elaborate mentalbattles. Both decisions “simply ar¬rived.” What’s more, there is evena built-in repudiation of intellectu¬al solutions to life’s problems: Her¬zog comes, at the end, to a clearrealization that for him there canbe no intellectual proof for Thevalidity of his joy, just as therecould be no intellectual answer tohis despair. Ilis salvation consists,in part, of his final ability to stopintellectualizing: “At this time hehad no message for anyone. Noth¬ing. Not a single word.” But thereis no suggestion earlier that Moses(“the child.” “the leader,” “themeek man”; see your Webster’s)Elkanah (“God hath created”)Herzog (“nobleman,” the man ofHerz, heart?) should not think;Bellow never suggests that Her¬zog, “that suffering joker.” wouldhave been all right if he’d juststopped thinking sooner. One canimagine a lx)ok with the impliedslogan, “Not with the head butthe heart”; Herzog’s story is farfrom being that simple. But ifideas are here neither as motiva¬tion nor as something to be re¬pudiated. what are they for? Ihone That someone, somewhere,will take time soon to explain whatseems to me a radieallv new wavof dealing with what Herzog callsthe void. For now, three sugges¬tions only:1.The Void threatens us. afterall. as idea fully as much as it doesas what is ordinarily called “ex¬perience.” Ilerzog experiencesthreatening ideas as other modernheroes experience more spectacu¬lar forms of degradation. He doesnoT, as he himself says, really sinkand to the imagination aboutwhich Mr. Frye does comment. In¬deed, the impressive thing aboutthis modest book is not that itfully comprehends its subject, butrather that in such a short spacethe author has managed to sayas much as he does.Frye starts by addressing him¬self to two questions, (1) What isthe relation of English as the na¬tive language to English as liter¬ature, and (2) What is the role ofthe imagination in literature andin the learning process. He devel¬ops tentative answers by attempt- very far in other respects; thebook could not have its wonderful¬ly comic tone if he did. But in ideahe faces the worst. With a mindthat yearns for order, he is forcedto admit that he can find no order— and then to admit the “sur¬vival” does not depend .as he hadthought, on being able to ThinkThings Through. “How my mindhas struggled to make coherentsense,” he writes, in a letter toGod. “I have not been too goodat it.” To me, this dramatizationof the comedy and poignance ofthe inevitably defeated intellect isas real a way of facing the absurdas the more colorful degradationsof a Cass Kinsolving or a CharlesFrancis Eitel.The intellectuality does not of¬fend, then, first because it is agood way —in fact, the best pos¬sible wray — for this hero to facethe threat of meaninglessness. Itis a way that allow’s for the mostebulliant kind of running attackon those who, like the characterIlimmelstein. “were touting theVoid as if it were so much salablereal estate,” though they “hadnever even read a book of meta-ph vsics.” At one point he argueswith a lawyer-friend who is tor¬turing him in the guise of offeringhelp: “You think a fact is what’snasty.” “Facts are nasty.” AndHerzog charges: “You think theyare true because they’re nasty.”Herzog would like to face truthof all kinds, even the truth of hisown loving soul, and he faces theabyss, in part, bv looking honestlyat those faddists of nihilism forwhom “Truth is true only as itbrings down more disgrace anddreariness upon human beings, sothat if it showrs anything exceptevil it is illusion, and not truth.”2.To attempt this kind of con¬frontation would be itself absurdexcept for someone who knows thetriumphs and defeats of the in¬tellectual at first hand. Bellowknow's philosophical and religiouscontroversy from the inside, andthe result is an authentic qualityin Herzog’s imaginary confronta¬tions with Spinoza, with Kierke¬gaard, with Nietzsche that is be¬yond most, perhaps all. of hiscontemporaries writing in English(France seems to be another mat¬ter, though one finds a lot ofphoniness there, too). Novelistsneed not create characters whoface the abvss in any form, butwdien they do it is unfortunate iftheir ideas about it are expresseding to correlate different “levels”of language as responses to differ¬ent basic needs that are centralto the human being at different“levels of experience.” Correspond¬ing to three different levels of ex¬perience. Frye differentiates threelevels of language: the primaryspeculative level, where the organ¬ism exercises his consciousnessand awareness to create the fun¬damental distinction between selfand other, between subject andobject; the second level is thepractical, where the organism ini-(To page seven) in the third-hand existentialistterms of, say, Percy’s The Movie¬goer. For the opposite of this, takea long look at the letter toNietzsche beginning on page 318,especially what follows “You wantto make us able to live with thevoid.” To my taste, Herzog goesas far as any fictional work cango, without becoming philosophicaldialogue, in facing the “piercingquestions” described in this pas¬sage.3.But there is something deep¬er about the way Herzog’s ideasare handled, something that I real¬ly don’t quite know' how' to des¬cribe. Herzog, after all, is saved,saved to joy and affirmation, andhe is thus not a’ la mode. Generallyspeaking, heroes in our time aresaved, if at all, only in commercialfiction; in serious fiction, they aredamned because they live in adamned universe. Herzog is notdamned because — ah. but herelies the crux, the reviewers say:the reasons are not adequatelygiven. But the very point is thatthe reasons can not be given, asreasons. Herzog is saved becausehe is not damned, which ultimatelymust mean because his universeis not entirely cursed. No wonderthat Herzog must often put hisbattle and iTs partial resolution inreligious terms. Like Job. he can¬not “explain his condition” or theterms of his final, unearned sur¬vival: “But have desired,” he saysto God, “to do your unknowablewill, taking it, and you. withoutsymbols. Everything of intensestsignificance. Especially if divestedof me.” Though he will accept “noabject comfort,” he knows that heow'es God “a life.” and that he“must play the instrument I’vegot.”T have always felt that Job wasweakest wdien most solemnly ac¬cepting the incomprehensibility ofthings. It will not do. somehow,simply to say yes To God unless —as in some parts of Job and inmany parts of Herzog — the yesis dramatized as some form ofhuman joy. And it is here that themost curious effect of Herzog’sintellectual outpourings comes in.,his verbal bounce, his wit, his half-zanv combativeness with the greatdead nhilosophers — his intellecTn-al vitality in short, affirms hisredemntion long before he discov¬ers it himself. The sheer joy of thebook is in part Herzog’s mentaldelight.It is not just the healing effectof laughter, talked of so muchthese days; even the most solemnmental battles here have an ex¬uberance that concretely, dramat¬ically refutes anyone who wouldsay that there is nothing good inthe world. A universe that canproduce this kind of delight-in-desnair is itself redeemed.T recently read in a British jour¬nal that it is a curse to be alive in atime when civilization has totallydecayed. T would prefer to attemptHerzog’s kind of honesty: no worldis wholly losT. no time is wholly de¬cayed. wdien books like Herzog arebeing w'ritten and read.Wayne C.

We learnabout ITemingwav in theway he best knew how to tellI about himself: by the obiects he$ sees and, in seeing them clear andtrue enough, the objects he loves.A Moveable Feast is also about■ peonle. There are glimpses of Ger-| trade Stein, Ezra Pound, FordMadox Ford, F. Scott Fitzgerald,.Tames Joyce, and many others.I We will not easily forget: Ezra9 Pound trying to learn to' box, and■ Wyndham Lewis watching andhoping he’d get his face punchedin; Hemingway trying to give aI drunken Ralph Cheever Dunning adose of opium from a jar PoundI had entrusted to him: F. ScottI Fitzgerald and Hemingway driving| from Lyon to Paris in a pouring* rain in a car with the top cut off.I and Hemingway tucking “Scottie” into bed and taking his temper¬ature; Pound commenting on Dos¬toevsky with “Pve never read theRoosians?” Ernest Walsh promis¬ing the same Dial Literary Awardto Hemingway, Joyce, and Pound;and Hemingway playing the races,taking out Turgenev and D. H.Lawrence on trust from SylviaBeach’s Shakespeare Library, andlistening to Ford Madox Ford ex¬plain the difference between Hil-air Belloc and a gentleman. Mostof all we will not forget the por¬trait of Gertrude Stein Heming¬way retrieves from the past: theperemptorv shakes of the finger,the imnerative mode of her speech,and the bizarre apartment shelived in.The portraits are vivid, believa¬ble. and in parts fascinating. Theyare also unpleasant. As an admirerof ITemingwav T wish I could hidethe malice that he cannot keenout of his portrait of Stein andothers. Gertrude Stein, for in¬stance. wears old clothes, talk'; ir¬repressibly, never forgives EzraPound for sitting on the wrongchair and breaking it. scolds Hem-inewav for writing an “inarcroeha-ble” short storv, and dislikes thelabor of revision. These are allfacts, I suppose. But she is alsosomeone who interrupts conversa¬tions. knows very little about theworld, writes too much, hungersfor nopularitv. and aspires to bepublished in The Atlantic Monthly.She is in short a bit ridiculous, ig¬norant, vulgar, and even dishonest:“In the three or four years thatwe were good friends T cannotremember Gertrude Stein ever speaking well of any wrriter whohad not written favorably abouther work or done something toadvance her career except for Ron¬ald Firband, and, later Scott Fitz¬gerald.” The image of an old manand a great writer, but a man forall that, chewing over events andpeople of long ago and paying backthe dead and the mute for imagi¬nary hurts is, well, unpleasant.The malice that fringes the por¬trait of Stein is overt and nakedin the portrait of F. Scott Fitz¬gerald. “Scottie” looks like a babyand he acts like one: he can’t holdhis liquor, cries when he’s sick,can’t forget that he went to Prince¬ton, and doesn’t like Paris. Hem¬ingway brings him back from thetwenties as a clown in a Brooksbrothers suit who runs to theAmerican hospital in Paris everytime he catches cold, and as asimpleton wrho presses on everyguest a ledger of publication androyalty statistics. When Heming¬way completes his portrait of“Scottie” by describing a scene inwhich F. Scott Fitzgerald seeksassurance from Hemingway thathe’s genitallv normal, his malicebecomes repulsive. I have no doubtthat Scott Fitzgerald was a baby,that he was forever amazed thathe had gone to Princeton, that hethirsted for popularity and money,and that he doubted his sexualvirility. But is it all so funny?Where is the compassion thatshould have come with so muchtalent, so much vision, and so muchintelligence?

New York: Grove Press,1964, 107 p.Of all the arts, poetry is un¬doubtedly the most unexportable,the hardest to push through thechannels of international commu-| nication. A symphony, of what¬ever nationality, can be freely en¬joyed anywhere an orchestra willplay it; you need no interpreterJ to appreciate a “foreign” paint¬ing. whether you travel to see itor it comes to you. And even with¬in the realm of literature, mostI works of prose fiction can withV relative ease be transported —translated — across internationalfrontiers. Doubtless a “displaced”novel loses some of the stylisticA and associative qualities of the or¬iginal; but in most instances the8 loss does not significantly reduceits artistic weight. War and Peaceis as big a classic here as it is‘I there.But poetry is another matter.Much more than prose, good poetry1 is a specifically linguistic achieve-V* ment, the result of a successful1 manipulation, for the sake of aes¬thetic effects, of the semantic,grammatical and phonetic resourc-jA es of a given language. And totranspose these effects into anoth¬er language requires a skill in ver¬bal acrobatics almost equal to the■ original poet’s. If a man possess¬es a talent of that order, he isprobablv writing his own poetryrather than working with someoneelse’s.As a result of this Impasse, Rus-| sian poetry, although it is actuallyI one of that country’s most im¬ pressive contributions to humanculture, has remained virtually un¬known in the West except to thatuntil recently) relatively smallnumber of intrepid souls who haveset themselves the formidable taskof mastering the Russian language.But one of the positive by-productsof the cold war has been a notableincrease in this population; and al¬though their original motive forundertaking the job was probablymore practical and prosaic, the de¬lights of Russian poetry are notthe least of the rewards they re¬ceive on its completion.It is a pleasure to learn that theRussian-reading population of theEnglish-speaking world has nowincreased to the point where it iseconomically feasible for a mass-market publisher like PenguinBooks to issue a volume like Mr.Fennell’s Pushkin. The format isfamiliar from its use with otherlanguages, especially the classics—original texts with “trot” trans¬lations sitting modestly and unob¬trusively at the bottom of thesame page. These prose transla¬tions do not “fail” as most poetictranslations do, chiefly becausethey attempt less. They undertaketo convey only the basic meaningof the original, not its poetry.Clear, accurate, and smooth as theyare, Mr. Fennell’s translations willprovide a welcome boost for manyreaders with limited Russian whofind their enthusiasm for Pushkinbeginning to wane after the twen¬tieth weary foray into their dic¬tionary in as many lines. Mr. Fen¬nell has also written a concise andinformative introduction. In short,for the “half-way” audience towrhich it is addressed, this bookwill provide a gentler and _ lessarduous access to the magnificentpoetrv of Pushkin than a straightRussian edition. One only regrets the unavoidable exclusions from abook held to this size, especiallythe abridgements of Eugeni One¬gin and Boris Godunov.Unlike the Pushkin, the othertwo books under review contain“poetic” translations, efforts tocreate English poems correspond¬ing to the Russian ones. Both il¬lustrate very well the many diffi¬culties involved in this process.For many years, and especiallysince the poet’s death, Mrs. LydiaPasternak Slater has made a cultof her brother’s memory. By wayof votive offerings to this cult, shehas from time to time publishedher translations of his poetry intoEnglish. (She has lived in Englandsince 1935.) Knowing Russian asa native and knowing Pasternakand the private connotations of hispoetry, she obviously possesses, be¬sides love and devotion, certainadvantages as a translator, partic¬ularly the ability to comprehendthe texts she is translating — areouirement. incidentally, that hasnot always been met by othertranslators of Pasternak.But unfortunately, Mrs. Slater’sfinished product, her Englishpoem, necessarily represents a re¬treat from this understanding,since all too often accuracy has tobe sacrificed to meet the exigenciesof meter and rhyme. Along withsemantic accuracy, other poetic ef¬fects have also to be jettisoned,including most alliterations, asson¬ances, and of course the parano-mastic verbal relationships ofwhich Pasternak was especiallyfond. The result often seems trag-icallv mutilated, as the vital limbsof the original poem are hackedoff and crude artificial ones in¬stalled in their place, often deckedout with frills quite absent fromthe original. It remains a question flexing his muscles and bludgeon¬ing others with his “virility.”I have been hard on Hemingway,but it’s a hardness sprung fromdisappointment. I dislike takingaway, as the last words of a greatwriter, the accents of a bully. Wewill never be cured, I’m afraid, ofwanting our writers to be prophets.Hemingway was no prophet. Hewas a good writer and he had thegood sense — most of the timeanvwav — of keeping the man sep¬arated from the writer. He needed“other voices.” When he spokewith his own, he could be pettyabout others, and flat and uninter¬esting about himself. Early in hiscareer he lashed out at a friendand fellow wmiter, Sherwood An¬derson. in a cruel satire in The Tor¬rents of Spring: and later he triedto exnress himself in Across theRiver ?"d Into ttm Trees and TheGreen Hills of \frica with disas¬trous results. He was at his bestwhen he saw peonle with the samefidelitv with which he saw hismountain streams and nine trees.You don't feel petty before a pinebed on the shore of a lake: yousee it pnri if you see it clear enough— a^d Hemingway did — you loveit. When vou see peonlo with thesame fidelity — and Hemingwayoften did — you understand themand in understanding love some¬thing about them. Whatever itslimitations. A Moveable Feast iscultural histom* now, and, I’mafraid, biography, too.Edward WaslolekMr. Waslolek is associate professor ofEnglish and Russian Literature at theUniversity of Chicago.whether a semi-accurate Englishpoem approximating the originalmeter and (less often) the rhymescheme provides an experiencecloser to the original poem thanan accurate prose translation. Cer¬tainly neither is very close.Mrs. Slater has also provideda singularly uninformative andrather petulant introduction, whichwill nevertheless be of interest toscholars, since it quotes some re¬markable letters -written by Pas¬ternak to his parents in England.But scholars and even generalreaders might prefer that Mrs.Slater would devote her apparent¬ly limited time and energies torecording as fully as possible herown memories of her brother andher associations wdth his poems,rather than toiling over thesetranslations, of which she promisesmore in the future.Finally, the volume of transla¬tions from Andrei Voznesensky be¬longs to another order of being al¬together. If Mr. Fennell is scholar¬ly and competent, Mrs. Slater rev¬erent and painstaking, the trans¬lator of this disgraceful volume,one Anselm Hollo, represents theobverse of all these qualities. Heis ignorant, sloppy, vulgar, cheap,and utterly lacking in respect forthe poems he “translates.” Of theyounger poets -who now representssome hope for a revival of genuineliterature in contemporarv Russia,Voznesensky (a close disciple ofPasternak) is one of the most gen¬uinely talented. But of the natureof his poetry the reader can getabsolutely no idea from Mr. Hollo’stasteless monstrosities.Hugh McLea*Mr. McLean is professor and chairmanof the Department of Slavic Lan¬guages and Literature at the Univer¬sity of Chicago-October 23, 1964 3 CHICAGO MAROON LITERARY REVIEWA QUESTION OF REFORMSPRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS,AaronB. Wildavsky and Nelson W. Pols-by. Scribners, 218 pp., $3.95.The period beginning in Novem¬ber, 1963, and ending twelvemonths later might well be termedThe Year of the Presidency. Inthese months the nation movesfrom the hours of tragedy in 1963to the strangely awesome momentin 1964 when it is clear whom thepeople have chosen as the next Pres¬ident. Along the way there are mo¬ments of bitterness, vulgarity,even of low comedy. It is a yearsuch as only a few others, a yearin which Americans are preoccu¬pied by the continuing drama andspectacle of the nation’s highestoffice and its occupant. Perhapsthis is an adequate explanationfor the remarkable current out¬pouring of books and writings onthe presidency. It is also possible,however, that the year’s events aremerely adding to the sense of im¬portance of this majestic office, asense that has been deepeningsteadily in recent years. There isat least the evidence that many ofthe writings now appearing wereconceived w-ell before PresidentKennedy’s assassination.A President performs manyservices to the nation. Not theleast of these is given before heever takes the oath of office. Thisis the very process of gettingelected. A presidential campaignis a grand review of the state ofthe nation, not just its economicand material well or ill being, butits spiritual and emotional condi¬tion as well. It calls up all thetensions and conflicts that afflicta large nation and that lie deepin the being of its people. Momen¬tarily, these are brought close tothe surface. Some of these ten¬sions are soothed and relaxed;others are at least discovered andmade known. Few elections areever clear or definitive about spe¬cific great issues and no mandatecan be interpreted out of their re¬sults. Each is in some manner or¬acular, not just in the unchallenge¬able quality of its determinationof the name of the President-to-be,but also in its uncertainty of mean¬ing for policy in a multitude ofareas. Nevertheless, the campaignis a time of bargaining, argument,persuasion and compromise. It isalso a reminder that our differ¬ences are worth less than ouragreement.The drama and importance ofpresidential campaigns and elec¬tions have held the attention of alarge number of social scientistsfor a growing number of years.The tools of analysis have becomesteadily more sophisticated and thebody of literature has become gen¬uinely substantial. The generalpublic awareness of this study ofelections is largely limited to thegamesmanship of predicting elec¬tions, a form unfortunately thatwould be better relegated to thesporting sections than to the front pages where it now tends to ap¬pear. Nevertheless, there is muchin the study that is of solid worth;the problem has been to make itavailable for the dispelling of still-current myths. Aaron B. Wildav-sky and Nelson W. Polsby haveperformed a distinct service inbringing the results of electionstudy together in a readily assimi¬lated form in their book, Presiden¬tial Elections. It is a work to whichthe authors have brought a largefund of information, clear-headed¬ness and more than a touch ofskepticism. Its lucidity is decep¬tive, for unless one turns to thefootnotes it is difficult to appreci¬ate what a large body of researchis presented here. This is a vol¬ume which can be recommendedto any intelligent citizen — or for¬eigner — who seeks a better un¬derstanding of the American polit¬ical system.Although the book is fairly even¬ly divided into five chapters, itproperly falls into two differentparts. The first part, the firstthree chapters, is the more valu¬able of the two. In it the reader isgiven the findings of a body ofresearch that is otherwise only tobe gleaned from labored goingthrough a fairly large number ofponderous (and generally badlywritten) volumes. There is much,for example, on voters. It is fairlywell established, thus, that mostpeople vote according to habitualparty affiliation. The often-praised“independent voters” emerge asthe more poorly informed and themore apathetic citizens generally.Much doubt is cast on the ability ofapparently threatening interestgroups to deliver the votes thatthey w'ave at candidates. There isalso doubt about the much-dis¬cussed coattail effect. The authorshave some very sensible things tosay about the supposedly overpow¬ering capacities of money in elec¬tions; they suggest rather clearlythat elections cannot simply bebought. They also indicate thatnewspaper support has only a lim¬ited utility in elections.The chapters on nominations andcampaigns are based necessarilyon different sorts of data; they arefar less quantitative on the whole.Nevertheless, the backing of ex¬tensive investigations are thereand the discussions are worthheeding. The difference in thebasic problems of the two parties,for example is a matter of primeimportance. With a three-to-twoedge in registration over their op¬ponents, the Democrats must con¬centrate on getting out their sup¬porters. The Republicans, on theother hand, must seek not only toget out their vote, but must alsopersuade the uncommitteed votersto give their support. It is a situ¬ation helping to moderate the Re¬publican advantages in readier ac¬cess to money and the press. Thestrategic situation does much toexplain the frequent Republican emphasis on voting for the manrather than for the party.The second part of the book, thelast two chapters, is the more in¬teresting part. It is also the moreopen to question. There is an in¬teresting paradox here, for theposture adopted by the authors isone of tough-minded, dispassionateand astringent skepticism, whiletheir position is very partisan in¬deed. They ask very simply, “Re¬form?” Here they consider vari¬ous proposals for reform, of whichthere have been no few. Most ofthese, they conclude, are directedtoward strengthening the presi¬dency and the party system in or¬der to achieve some ideal of respon¬sible government. Quite correctlythey observe that there is a biasinvolved in the ideas for reform.Very probably the reforms wouldassist the Democrats more thanthe Republicans. Beyond this, itis likely that the reforms wouldfavor some kinds of policies, al¬though the authors are not expli¬cit on this. However, to say thisis not to end the matter, for, bythe same token, to avoid reformand to preserve existing arrange¬ments is also biased. Present ar¬rangements often do favor Repub¬licans and, more important, favorcertain different policies and en¬hance the power of particularinterests.The authors have a number ofshrewd comments which tend tocast doubt on the likelihood thatsome of the suggested measuresof reform would achieve the re¬sults intended by the reformers.They also underline the difficul¬ties in the way of accomplishingthe reforms which have been ad¬vocated. If anything, the authorsunderstate the problems. Almostthe entire American political sys¬tem is rigged against the soil oftransformation which reformersseek. Moreover, some of the sug¬gested measures are petty in thescale of the problem which thecritics perceive.Nevertheless, to point to diffi¬culties in the way of reform isnot to dismiss the existence of aproblem. Perhaps the authors donot intend to suggest that it does.However, it is fairly clear thatthey do not feel any serious prob¬lem exists. They point to the vir¬tues of achieving stability andavoiding extremism which thepresent arrangements possess, andare inclined to be rather well sat¬isfied. “Aside from casting ex¬tremists out beyond the pale, freeelections and a two-party systemoperate to bring governmental pol¬icy roughly in line with intensepublic preferences over a reason¬able span of time.” Apparentlytheir judgment is that this is theactual accomplishment of theAmerican political system. Pre¬sumably the evidence is that wehave not had any bloody revolu¬tions lately. But is this sufficient? Moreover, is it clear that the ex¬isting political system is no accom¬modating that extensive violenceover civil rights issues is unlikely?There are serious grounds fordoubting the justification for anysuch self-validating satisfaction asthe authors exhibit.Perhaps the most difficult prob¬lem posed by the authors is then-statement of the problem whosesolution is sought in reform. Theyperceive refoimers as falling intotwo “radically opposed” groups.On the one hand there are policy-oriented groups (fanatical typesapparently) ; on the other handthere is (the much more to beapprove d) consensus - orientedgroup. The argument seems to bethat political institutions such asparties and elections are quite in¬dependent of policy influence andthat tinkering with them may onlyachieve policy ends temporarilyand may in the long run damagethe far more important goal ofconsensus through compromise. Ifsuch an antithesis in fact existed,we might well agree that the pol¬icy-oriented reformers are mis¬guided and dangerous. The distinc¬tion, however, is much too sharp.Policy and institutions are inevita¬bly related and related closely. Itis not a mere coincidence that pol¬icies favoring the interests of Ne¬groes, of the poor, of the unor¬ganized generally tend to 1h> sup¬ported by the presidency and art-best achieved when party discip¬line is strongest. It is also not acoincidence that the greatest dif¬ficulties occur in Congress andwhen interest-group organizationssucceed in dissolving party unity.The greatest problem of theAmerican political system is thatsubstantial groups and importantvalues are accorded only minorconsideration or are left out of itcompletely. To the extent that Ne¬groes, for example, are left out¬side the processes of accommoda¬tion violence is a serious possibili¬ty. To the extent that policies fa¬voring civil rights are stopped atthe numerous checkpoints in thepolitical system, neither justicenor consensus is achieved. Thepresidency is the only office witha constituency of the entire na¬tion, a constituency of all groupsand all classes as well as all sec¬tions. Tn this fact lies its impor¬tance and grandeur. And for thisreason it is important, not merelyfor reasons of policy, but for rea¬sons of consensus as well, that theoffice be strong and that it havethe resources of a strong, well-organized party system behind it.Reform may be difficult, but itis neither absurd nor irrelevant.Grant McConnellMr. McConnell is an associate profes¬sor in the Department of PoliticalScience at the University of Chicago. tOctober 23. 1964 CHICAGO MAItOON LITERARY REVIEWTWO POEMSf** MftAPIZnKitharacompanionrecall this mistconcealing a fire we litibis fogcandles we wished the windwould extinguishsuffocatea multitude of candlesthat lit your facein this hazeyour red lipsyour hair filled with sandclear, your flesh by the fire*oft, your long limitshroad and long, your caresseskisses delayedwhat was sung what was whispereddlhouettedwhat wa6 said what was unsaidundonecarved in damp woodwhat was lost and found againtit a clear morningaupple Kitharadeadand out evenings>ur white eveningswatching grey-haired womenwashing on the shoreheating their yellow linenhv a murky riverI he sunlit mist at dawn1i;IcK' the haze on the blue tilesitf the church across the waythe sudden curve of its arch•own warddrowned helowl1 '* stone angel T follow upwardcircular, roundinto the blue-green airinto the haze you have goneKitharadissolute, dissolvedhad you been more . . .MORE SMILESTHE WORDS: Jean-Paul Sartre.Translated from the French by Ber¬nard Frechtman.

Although it deals entirelywith the first ten or eleven yearsof the writer’s life, The Words canbe taken to be an apologia for Sar¬tre’s entire career in letters, asphilosopher, novelist, and play¬wright.Orphaned in his first year, Sar¬tre grew up in the home of hismaternal grandparents, Charlesand Louise Schweitzer; his mother,Anne Marie was to him as an oldersister. As a result, Poulou grew upwithout parents to obey: he hadno duties; his only function was toplease. And in the bookishSchweitzer household, to pleasewas to act older than his age, toread, to act, to write. Through hisreading, which at first consistedof the French classic dramatists,and later of the penny-dreadfulserials of detectives and swash¬buckling swordsmen, his image ofhimself alternated between Cor-nille and Cartouche.Later in his childhood, when hehad begun to write prose for hisown pleasure (at the age of sevenor eight), the images merged.Poulou had already chosen the ca¬reer of the writer, but he discov¬ered that “Despite their physicaldefects, their primness, their seem¬ing femininity, writers risked theirlives as free lances in mysterious combats.’’ The writer, the hero,and the martyr blended into one.It was this idea, Sartre thinkstoday, that was the grand illusionunder which he grew up: that thewriter is capable of aiding humani¬ty in its struggle. Now Sartreknows better: that his writingdoes not dispense salvation to theworld.“I’ve given up the office but notthe frock: 1 still write. What elsecan I do?Nulla dies sine linea.It’s a habit, and besides, it’s myprofession. For a long time, 1 tookmy pen for a sword; I now knowwe’re powerless.”But his romance with The Words,which he looked upon in the pastas his mission in life, is still capa¬ble of sustaining him personally:“What I like about my madnessis that it has protected me fromthe very beginning against thecharms of the ‘elite’: never haveI thought that I was the happypossessor of a ‘talent’; my soleconcern has been to save myself—nothing in my hands, nothing upmy sleeve — by work and faith.”Sartre evidently means this vol¬ume as a renunciation of his bliss¬ful childhood and of his youthfuldreams. It seems to me, however,that it is nothing of the kind. Inapologising for the wunderkind often, Sartre again becomes the ro¬mantic idealist; in recreating theyouthful Poulou, he makes us un¬derstand the dreadful conscious¬ness of the self-analyzing writer.Despite the ironic tone in which hedescribes his salad days, we areleft with a powerfully sympathetic JUBILATE GALAGNOTliey called me wopagalago.I roved the streets, and a blue sky brokeJ he thread of my windfall wanderings.I ate tortillas from the pan,And the red and yellowKan to dazzle ihe pride of anancient king.I laughed to dance the caracole,When the green shimmered intocotton goats,And the cool air fanned the seaMy brothers feared to barter with.Above the fire in the twisted airI shot at a bird and slept barein the moonlight,When the shingles on the stuccohouses burst orange,And the shadows of the cypresseshid the cupThat passes from my lips.They called me Wopagalago,Wopagalago Joe.And who am I to follow' whenthe musty jokesAnd the old jade waneAnd the wind is tired to blow?They brought me down to thesea in chains.And the sand on the hill flewin my nostrils.And witli salted spears theyraped my veins.And the long night called.And the blackness came tocover them all.And apostles wept.And the great hall of the sun went out.And they wrote my name in thedepth of their breast.And they all wept and longed to rest.And my father gave them a sea he did,hi the name of Galago Joe.Both poems are by Mich'odAckerman, a student in the Collegemajoring in mathematics.THAN GROWLSportrait of the writer of today.In places The Words is the ago¬nized reappraisal of a man whoonce thought himself the Lamb ofGod that taketh away the sins ofthe world, and who now finds hehas merely made for himself auseful career. Most of the time,however, Sartre busies himself de¬livering anecdotes about the drollcharacters that populated his child¬hood. Some of these, such as Sar¬tre’s delectations on his school¬master’s halitosis are weird, butnot very interesting; others aredeliciously charming:“It was not long before an oblig¬ing doctor provided Sartre’s mater¬nal grandmother, Louise Guille-min Schweitzer with a certificateexempting her from conjugal in¬tercourse and entitling her to aseparate bedroom. . . . That livelyand shrewd but cold womanthought strait but inaccurately,because her husband thought ac¬curately but amiss. Because he wascredulous and a liar, she doubtedeverything: ‘They claim the earthgoes around. What do they knowabout it?’ ”Through tales of this sort, Sar¬tre builds up a picture of his earlyinfluences, personal and literary.The Words deals, as 1 have re¬marked, with Sartre’s life up toage eleven. Nevertheless, it seemsto be more conmlete a picture ofthe writer than this would ordinar¬ily indicate, for we are introducedto the causes of Sartre’s writingcareer, to his aspirations, to hispatterns of thought. Tf in this firstvolume, Sartre omits his disillu¬sionment in his young manhood,his involvement with social and- political matters, and other prob¬lems which vexed most of his life,surely the readers can predictthese from what we have learnedabout the young Sartre. Moreover,The Words is a critical examina¬tion of the career of writing itself,of its ends, its compensations, andits ordeals of consciousness. Fur¬ther additions to the autobiogra¬phy would have to concern them¬selves with facts or anecdotesabout Sartre’s life.Even were it nothing more, TheWords would be an enjoyable,highly diverting volume of remi¬niscences. The style is lithe, light¬ly ironic, full of charm and delight.Sartre often speaks to his audienceas one would speak to an acquaint¬ance over an aperitif:“We spent some time in A rea¬ch on, and I went to a public schoolthere. My grandfather’s democrat¬ic principle required this. But healso wanted me to be kept awayfrom the herd. He recommendedme to the teacher in the followingterms: ‘My dear colleague, 1 amcommitting to your care what isdearest to me.’ Mr Barrault worea goatee and pince-nez. He cameto our cottage for a glass of mus¬catel and declared that he wasflattered by the confidence shownhim bv a member of the secondaryschool system.”But Sartre smiles at us less thanhe growls, with clenched teeth, athimself. Tf “the child is Ihe fatherto the man,” Sartre revolts, in TheWords, against a “father” he hasoutlived by forty ye*»~s.T'-ivid RichterMr. Richter is a student in the Collegemajoring in English.October 23, 1961 CHICAGO MAROON LITERARY REMEWTHE ART OF THE BAROQUEFLOOD. Robert Penn Warren. NewYork: Random House, 1964. 440pages, $5.95.A new novel by Robert PennWarren is an important event, forhe has loomed for a long while nowas one of our most versatile andthoughtful writers, a man whosetalents and seriousness of intentmark him as one of the majorfigures of this literary epoch. Butthe very nature of his accomplish¬ments, and their range, raise agood many questions about whatsort of a literary epoch it is, justas this book, which is subtitled“A Romance of Our Time” raisessome questions about Warren asa novelist. For Flood is a strangenovel, one which fails in manyways; it cannot be seen clearly,I think, without a glance at Mr.Warren’s other work.One of the most striking thingsabout Warren is the fact that hehas been so much the man engagedwith the problems of his time; hehas been, perhaps more than anywriter of his age, unafraid to com¬mit himself on a number of fronts,and to work in a number of forms.As a practicing critic in the thir¬ties and forties, he made judg¬ments that, when one looks backat them, are extraordinarily sound,and he had a great deal to do withdeveloping both theories and tech¬niques of criticism that routed thevarious anti-literary forces of thethirties and allowed a mature, ec¬lectic American criticism toemerge. (I do not mean here theso-called “new” criticism, butsomething much broader.)As a kind of cultural historian,he has made a variety of shrewdand sane comments — one thinksmore of Segregation: The InnerConflict in the South and The Leg¬acy of the Civil War than of theearly John Brown: The Making ofa Martyr. As a poet, he has pro¬duced, over the years, a body ofwork that is singular in that hispoems are tough and sinewy andvery much unlike what anyoneelse has been doing; most of theseare in the three volumes, SelectedPoems, 1923-1943, Promises: Po¬ems 1954-1956 and You, Emperor,and Others: Poems 1957-1960. Andmost especially, as a fictionist, hehas produced a rich variety ofnovels and short stories, no two ofwhich are alike, and all of whichare distinguished by their highaims. It is necessary to look atthe novels, particularly, and at theway in which they develop, in or¬der to get at Warren’s intentionsin Flood.The early Night Rider and AtHeaven’s Gate seem almost prepa¬rations for All the King’s Men;they are solid novels, well con¬structed, but neither possesses thedriving style and the extremelyeffective plotting of All the King’sMen. In that novel Warren seemsto have found what he needed; anintelligent, hard-mouthed narratorwho could comment fully on thecharacters and events in a plotthat was at once complex and“tragic” in the Greek sense, a nar¬rator who provided a style which,like Faulkner’s, had a narrativethrust reminiscent of coupled die¬sel locomotives going full out. Butin World Enough and Time, hisnext novel, some of the elementsthat made All the King’s Men sosuccessful are developed in suchways that they seem flaws — thestyle is overburdened up until thelast fifty pages or so, when War¬ren’s real intentions become clear, and the tangled plot of the his¬toric Beauchamp story is gnarledand has a tendency to collapse un¬der the weight of the rhetoricalflourishes. (Like Flood incidentally,World Enough and Time has a sub¬title — “A Romantic Novel” —and it seems safe to assume notonly that Warren is aware of Haw¬thorne’s distinction between theRomance and the Novel but thathe means his reader to rememberit specifically.)What Warren did in Brother toDragons, which appeared threeyears later, is a radical departure.As though he sensed the short¬comings of style in World Enoughand Time, he tried an experiment— taking a particularly brutalmurder-story, again from Ken¬tucky history, but clothing it nowin poetry rather than in prose. liealso used various “voices” for com¬ment — his own, Mr. Jefferson’s— in order to tie up past and pres¬ent. The experiment is a failure,finally, but it is an interesting one,for Warren tried to do somethingthat was as bold, in its way, assome of the work of Joyce.After Brother to Dragons War¬ren settled back into a more nor¬mal novel form, and Flood, likeBand of Angels, The Cave andWilderness appears to be a story,more or less expertly told, whichgoes straight forward but whichhas many overtones and under¬tones. It is about a screen-writer,Bradwell Tolliver, who returns tohis hometown near Nashville to dothe script for a movie. Fiddlers-burg is on the river and is to beflooded out because of a new dam;Tolliver, who once made a snlnshwith a volume of stories and thenwent Hollywood, is hoping to makea trulv great movie with a d’’vec¬tor who is billed as the Boy Won¬der. one Yasha Jones.

It is baronue. and theplot is so comnlieated that it isdifficult to state. T think it isessarv, however, to renmmher thatWarren has nlaved with baroquethamos bofove and that he t’tlosthe book Flood: A Romance of0*w Time, a fact which seems Toindioafp that he does not want nsto take it as strictlv “vealis^’o”fiction. but as Someth in <r nlseagain. For instance, the flood thatis to cover The phvsical town ofFiddiorsburg is symbolic, for Bradis “flooded” with his memories ofgrowing no in the town, of b’*sfirst fine book and of his ov>od h’fewith T-oHiee and of all that hashappened to him — his success in Hollywood and his other womenand his part in the Civil War inSpain — and it is this flooding thatmakes him come to the conclusionthat he must not go back to Holly¬wood, but must write the novelabout Fiddlersburg that he had be¬gun years before and, for a verycomplicated set of reasons, putaside. Here is an example of theway Warren works such thingsinto the novel in quite specificterms:He had the sense that he him¬self was, somehow, the darkhouse. He was the dark housein which he stood and, at thesame time, the person standingthere, holding his breath, in thatenclosed darkness. ... It wasas though the very silence anddarkness of the house were arising flood, a medium that rosedeeper and deeper around him,and in him, absorbing him. Tnhis own calmness, he had asense that the house was, in thedarkness and silence, slowly for¬giving itself.A man of talent who is tormented,who has somehow lost himself, whohas done bad things to a varietyof people, and who works out aspiritual solution: that is what thenovel is really about.And in another scene, when heis with the blind Leontine, he asksher, out of a kind of cruelty,“What’s it like to be blind,” andshe answers “I don’t know.” Sheexplains that she doesn’t know howto tell him what it’s like, because itis just “being yourself.” She goeson: “Suppose T asked you to tellme what it’s like to be you. Youcouldn’t tell me, I bet. What Imean is, it’s just the way you are.Being you is like being blind.”Tolliver, of course, sees himself asbeing “blind” in quite another way,and thinks very hard about Loon-tine’s statement. The rising watersof consciousness, which are illus¬trated here and in many otherscenes and in manv other peopleare the flood that Warren is writ¬ing about.But this brings me to The cen¬tral failure of the book. It is allvery well and good to write a novelwhich reveals the inner life of aman, one which operates on sever¬al levels and which is meant to beread with an eve for somethingmore than what happens. In Flood,however, even though we grantWawon’s intention, and Take ourcue from the fact that he calls ita Romance and so permit him the1 ir*r>nse to depart from realitv alittle, the storv-telling itself issnotty and sometimes poor. Thereare sections which read like a badperodv ef All The King’s Men.Where Warren catches just theriorht accent for Jack Burden, inthis book he frequently seems tobe strninin". as in this passage —■Brad is talking to Yasha, explain¬ing whv he intends to get drunk:“Well, I’ll tell you,'” BradwellTolliver said, and leaned con¬fidentially. “Planning my returnto Tennessee, after an unbrokenexile of many years I survevedmv experience To decide whatlikker had given me the worsthangovers. Clearly whatmv provincial sister calls thatold sweet French whiskey. SoT determined to get a case ofthat to provide a combination ofKeeley cure and penitential ex¬ercise. T am now maVinor prep¬aration to undergo both.”There are other passages, too,where Warren in trying to repre¬ sent the speech of country peoplevastly overdoes it, or where hisprose simply takes on a heavinessthat is unwarranted. Some of hisrepresentations are good — sur¬prisingly he catches Yasha Jonesvery nicely — but most of Them,especially if we compare them withthe earlier Warren, are strained.A second major flaw is the ex¬tremely tangled plot. There are somany flashbacks and retellings andcross-connections that it is diffi¬cult to tell which are meaningfuland which not. And there is akind of confusion in The welter ofcharacters who turn up, many ofthem to appear once and then dis¬appear; if they are referred tolater it is frequently difficult toremember anything about them.It can be objected, too. that thereare some real improbabilities. Wenever do truly understand whyLettice decided to leave Brad, and[given her background and char¬acter! her conversion to Catholi¬cism (which he hears about later)sounds about as improbable as thejob she takes up — doing menialwork in a home for The aged inChicago.In a similar fashion, it is hardto see just why Yasha not onlyfalls in love with but marries Mag¬gie Tolliver Fiddler after her di¬vorce from the Doctor, who is ofcourse back in the penitentiary.Here is another example of thecomplication of plot which seemssomehow unnecessary, for we aregiven the whole story of Dr. Cal¬vin Fiddler, a member of the fam¬ily which founded the town; hisfather was dispossesed from theold Fiddler place by Brad’s swamp-rat father after the latter tookover most of The town, and he inturn was competitive with Brad asa boy, married Brad’s sister, thenshot a man he thought was havinga public affair with his wife, andreturns finally to shoot Brad.There are many more overtonesand psychological connections here,but even a bare description isenough to illustrate the intertwin-ings. While this may make for den¬sity, and servo as irony, it doesget prettv muddled and stretchesour credulity.It would be unfair to conclude areview of the book, however, with¬out coming back to the fact thatWarren, as always, has a complexand intense purpose, somethingreal to say, and that he goes alxmtimplementing that purpose in wayswhich are frequently very good.He is a master of the various de¬vices of narration, and at Times heuses them here very effectively.There is always, too, what onemight call a sense of the humancondition, of the complex nature oflife, and Warren has an honestyabout facing the worser sides ofman’s nature as well as a subtleknowledge of his better sides,which is rare. These are here inthis book, and in some ways seemto me to be stronger than ever be¬fore. If he has not made a job ofthe book that lets it rank with Allthe King’s Men, he has made athorough job of it, and it is wellworth reading. If there are flaws,there are also many of those quali¬ties which have distinguished theman, and we ought not to forgetthat he, like other good wriTerswho take chances, has earned theright to an occasional slip.P.

Despite being isolated Lazarcan not remain silent; his songsand the plaintive whine of hisgusle reach the villagers. Todorwarns Lazar to hold his tongue,(From page one)tiates actions to adapt his environ¬ment to himself or vice versa.Language here becomes meaning¬ful not merely for self-expression,but for movement, action, andchange. The language of technique,the jargon of the specialist, thenotion of communication as ameans to move men to action, en¬ters here. There is, however, be¬sides the desires and needs whichmove men to practical action, oneother desire which forms the basisof the third level of experience.According to Frye, there is in mana desire to humanize, to relate thenon-human to the human, to iden¬tify the external world with theinternal self. Man wants to inter¬pret all of nature in the context<>f human experience. Imaginationis the power to do this, the powerto construct possible models ofvisions of human experience. “Thehmit of the imagination is a total-lv human world. Here we recapturethat original lost sense of identitywith our surroundings, wherethere is nothing outside the mindof man, or something identicalwith the mind of man.” It is thisfundamental desire to associateand identify that results in theconstruction of the simile and themetaphor, for the language whichcorresponds to this levd t>f thePagination is the language of lit¬erature.It is because literature (in fact,all arts) is located on this third HIS PRIVATE PEGASUSis easily moved deeply byexperience, he does not allow him¬self to be upset by wdiat happensto him. He sees the departure of ayoung man, or the thoughtless cru¬elty of a woman towards a formerlover as being parts of a totalityof existence which he can relate topositively in spite of its harshness.In his reliance upon myth as aprism through which to pass time¬less situations or ideas, thus tomake them immediate while af¬firming their significance outsideof themselves, he attests to his be¬lief in a continuum of human ac¬tion which lends to life, and per¬haps to history, a sense of purposeand accomplishment.The poem called “TravellingLight” is Jason’s account of hissearch for the golden fleece. Jasonis revealed as something of an in¬tellectual Kirk Douglas, a tough,no-nonsense seaman, who is all thesame aware of a metaphysical at¬tachment to the sea, which we areto take as an inveterate humanquality. Tn describing “Our typeof sailor,” Jason explains:To him. the thingYou voyage for is voyaging—-COMMUNISTbut Lazar replies; “God punishedme with leprosy and you with anevil and selfish soul. Though mybody is leprous, my words comefrom a pure heart.” The unequalstruggle of the two men intensi¬fies, ending with Lazar beingwalled up behind a double wall onTodor’s orders. This is still notenough. Lazar’s isolation is not yetcomplete. Todor orders a final wall¬ing up to prevent any spread ofLazar’s illness. (This representsthe third trial of Djilas followedby confinement in a solitary cell).So far the story. The realitywhich it symbolizes is not quiteso sombre.

Equality to himis the way of life of the poor butindividually real Montenegrin peas¬ants and the close-knit wartimecomradeship among insurgent rev¬olutionaries. To Djilas, the bureau¬cratic, regimented, “soulless’ orderof the Tito system is abhorent. ButDjilas did not produce a concreteprogram in spite of his biting crit¬icism of the Communist bureau¬cracy. The nearest thing to sucha program was his article in aDecember, 1953, issue of the news¬paper “Borba.” “There is no alter-PACKAGE OF IDEASlevel that Frye sees a dissociationbetween it and the rest of society;the danger arises that literaturewill be considered as mere play,fanciful but useless. For this rea¬son. the author feels it is necessaryboth to show the importance ofthe imagination in understandingand changing our everyday world,and to show the centrality of lit¬erature as a means towards edu¬cating the imagination.Frye then attempts to show, bytracmg back literature to its ori¬gins in mythology, that all liter¬ature is essentiallv linked to thisfundamental function of the imag¬ination, that of identifying thehuman with the non-human world.Going beyond Frazer’s attemptsin the Golden Bough, or RobertGraves in The White Goddess, heconcludes that ali literature, fromthe Iliad to pulp magazines, hasbasic structures, standard plotforms, which are reducible to onepattern. “This story — of the lossand regaining of identity — is, Ithink, the framework of all liter¬ature.” Literature is seen to oper¬ate according to conventions de¬rived solely from previous liter¬ature, so that while specific con¬tent may vary in different timesand places, the basic forms of lit¬erature remain the same. It is forthis reason that Mr. Frye recom¬mends an early and thorough edu¬cation in those works which mostclearly express these basic liter¬ary structures, namely the Bibleand stories of classical mvthologv.It is only through an understand¬ing of these basic story themesthat we can fully appreciate laterliterature built upon them. The problem of the relation ofimagination to everyday society isdealt with in fairly general terms.Frye believes that imagination isthe power that makes us awareof various possibilities, and somust be opposed to some sort ofnarrow-mindedness or rigidity ofthought. Tolerance can only be hadwhen other beliefs beside our ownhave been explored; imaginationis the tool that allows us to exam¬ine these other possibilities, andbecause we are aware of the un¬reality of imagination we can ap¬proach other possibilities more ob¬jectively and calmly. A tolerancefor other views, an ability to makerational choices after having exam¬ined various possibilities, and final¬ly “the question of free speech it¬self” are seen to depend upon aneducated imagination. One won¬ders, by this time, whether theimagination Mr. Frye is talkingabout here is the same one thatwas considered as the basis of lit¬erature. or whether in fact, Fryehas quietly collapsed some of hisdistinctions of “levels of experi¬ence.” The kind of imaginationthat is needed here does not seemto be the kind that would becomeany more educated by being ex¬posed to literature than by beingexposed to varieties of non-fiction,or. for that matter, any mode ofexperience. Indeed, one gets thefppPrio- that, if the aim is to copewith the problems of daily exist¬ence. a study of history, psycholo¬gy, or even a perusal of the dailynewspaper might better serve thisfunction of the imagination. an affirmation of her life and ofthe idea of discovery which sub¬stantiates the fact of living. Thefirst part tells us that “At hercharmed height of summer—/ . . .her own flesh turned upon her:/The gross feeder slowly / Settledto consume her.” There is menacein the language, and one under¬stands the vague and appallingnature of the disease. Part twoabruptly takes up to Delos, “Islandof stone and silence,” the birthplace of Apollo, where, accordingto Aelian, no one was allowedeither to be born or to die. Here,life seems strangely suspended be¬tween living and dying. We seethe stone lions of Delos, “roaringin abstract rage,” magnificent andadmirable, though toothless, gran¬ulated, and disjointed. The speakercalls the statues “archetypes ofpatience,” and he is tempted to“accept from them perfection’smyth,” as well as the reality ofApollo, of whom he says: “Sweet¬ness he gives but also, being di¬vine,/ Dry bitterness of salt andthyme.” In the third and final sec¬tion, the speaker is n classical(To page eight)native but more democracy, morefree discussion, more free electionsto social, state and economic or¬gans, more adherence to the law,”he wrote.The great appeal of Djilas liesnot only in his courageous defianceof the Party, but even more so inhis personal conversion.

A writer’s con¬cern with innovation might pro¬duce such odd characters in thefirst place if so, you would mostlikely find their conduct ex¬pressed in an “inventive” or ec¬centric style, and it all might takeolace in a series of episodes thatbetrayed slightly implausible con¬nections. This kind of fiction,then, often makes good use of“effects” and thereby draws ourattention to the artist’s virtuosity.{’. If. Lowrey’s set of ten shortstories attempt to do somethingdifferent, perhaps less striking,but deserving of notice just thesame. He writes about what wealready know; in some cases, hedoes it so convincingly that weare forced to ask if we reallyknow what we thought we did.What’s important here is the factthat Lowrey must achieve hisends by drawing attention off ofthe literary effetes and on to thestory itself. Most of his storiesdeal with thoroughly plausiblesituations and commonplace char¬acters — they emerge in greatvariety, and it happens that avariety of devices is used to ex¬plore them. But the devices arerarely e\er self-conscious becausethey follow from the require¬ments of character and situation.Lowrey’s reasonably frequentsuccess in working with near-banal material results in partfrom the fact that he writes shortstories, not novels: his chanceswould diminish with anythinglonger. Also, the structure andlanguage of the stories, differentin each case, depend on what thespeak entirely for themselves andcharacters see and know: theydo what necessarily emerges fromtheir situation.What are the stories about?You could say that they are most¬ly about small town life in theSouth, although there are a cou¬ple of exceptions. One of themspins out a day in the life of amiddle-aged executive, whileanother concerns a Princetonsophomore’s visit to an Aunt whonlays hostess to the New Ore-leans bohemian crowd. The other stories deal with relatively unex¬ceptional characters who viewevents that in detail might beflavored with the South, butcould occur almost anyplace:you’ll find funerals, family trips,quail shoots, memories of the girlnext door, etc. There’s even onesuicide and a murder. Southernmotifs, when they appear, supplyframeworks for action but arenot themselves literary themes.You couldn’t say that thesestories are spiced explicitly withany depravity, ritual understruc¬tures. or miscengenation andlynchings; if Lowrey has a sweep¬ing artistic “vision” of the South,it plays no substantive role in hisstories.. Because of the varietyof subjects explored in the stories,I think the best answer to thequestion of what they’re aboutwould be to say merely that, inone sense, they are “about” varie¬ty, variety in concrete situation:how does this particular time andplace influence the feelings andpurposes of a specific character,and. in reverse, how does hispoint of view influence in turnan understanding of the situa¬tion? But in another sense thestories concern, on the one hand,a set of common notions—thoughts of death and the processof recollecting impressions of thepast, or acts of change and per¬ception—and. on the other, whathappens to these notions whenthey are rotated around the dif¬ferent character’s perspectives.Taken as a whole, one of Low¬rey’s stories can convince us thatwhat is common can become im¬portant or even uncommon whenwe know the “why” of a char¬acter’s preoccupations, and cansee them combine with his situa¬tion to produce an integrallyrealized form of concrete experi¬ence.Lowrey’s use of perspectives—.not his own “vision” but pointsof view appropriate to differentcharacters — runs all the waythrough the collection. “A Coun¬try Life” unfolds an old woman’sthoughts about time and order,and about death. Her son’s re¬mark that “Mama forgets shejust don’t remember anymore, shegets things all mixed up andmakes up stuff” proceeds to afireside colloquy on time andmemory images in which, by try¬ing to connect the two, she strug¬ gles to resolve an awareness ofher disordered thinking into asense of order about her life’scourse. The format is a kind ofdialogue on two planes: presentthoughts about her confusion andthe meaning of her past interactwith pure images of the past it¬self; she also “discourses” withthe remembered image of herlong dead Negro servant. Whilesitting in front of the fire, shegradually realizes the role theservant woman played in herfamily’s history, and the meaningthis servant still has in her ownlife: this then propels a discoverythat it is time for her to die. Sheis ready to die at the end whenshe achieves complete identifica¬tion of herself with the servant.The story ends as it had to, justas the woman’s life does — yetthis simple fact is what the read¬er least expects. Towards thisend. Lowrey purposefully and ef¬fectively manipulates the rhe¬torical elements (metaphors, sym¬bols. images, etc.) : take a lookespecially at the way he uses thefire to pull together her sense oftimelessness, fading life, pain, andthe process of impressing imagesin the mind.By contrast, a different use ofperspective shows up in “TheQuick and the Dead.” Here. Low¬rey uses a set of multiple perspec¬tives to record the impact of abootlegger’s torrid suicide on dif¬ferent people involved by its con¬sequences. Or. again, in “All theLeaves Were Green,” the middle-aged executive muses about deathafter his routine life in inter¬rupted by the experience of asharp pain in his side. The use ofan epithetieal and naive writingstyle—which seems at first to beamateurish—is meant. I think, toreflect the mentality of the char¬acter. In this way, Lowrey’s at¬titude towards the man does notintrude on the story; Lowreytreats him sympathetically, feel¬ing no constraint to demonstratethat his own thoughts and expres¬sion about the “meaning of deathand life” might possibly be moreprofound. It is important only tosee what the character makes ofthe things he knows and hasdone: unlike the old woman, heis not ready for death, nor. I sus¬pect. has he been ready for lifeeither.

The heft of the message,is conveyed by the backlash, so to speak, of the understated qualityof the language: “A cornfield,moon bemused/And crocheted withstooks./ Or shining spheres uponthe vine/ Are food and drink toone who looks/ Beyond his nose.”“Bread and Wine” is one of themany instances in which Mr. DayLewis disnlays a balanced objectiv¬ity towards what he writes about.However, more often than not hefigures directly in the action of hispoems, either dramatically, as in‘The Disabused,” a colorless mono¬logue in which a man sneat’s to theghost of a brother whom long be¬fore he allowed to drown; or simolvas a voice whose tone rounds outa frnme of reference, as in “Breadand Wine.” or “A Wind’s Eve” and“Terns,” two fine pieces in whichMan’s unhappy sennration fromnature is presented as bem" osmuch a fact as nature itself.

ITis isthe duality of si^ht o-nn pxoeri-ences in a dream in which one is both onlooker and actor simultane¬ously.This book is not without faults.Except for “Travelling Light” andthe elegy, his longer poems—parti¬cularly “The Disabused” and “NotProven,” the death-bed confessionof an aged murderess—repeatedlysag into prose. “A Lesson inLove.” a suite of eleven parts, isreminiscent of the sugared bilgeof Walter Benton or Kahlil Gibran.The title piece. “Requiem for theLiving,” in an anti-war poemwhose effect is hopelessly vitiatedby overstatement. While Mr. DayLewis’ concern is not theatrical,sententious, or solipsistic, as ismost of the ‘literature of theBomb,’ the poem fails precisely be¬cause it is too straightforward. Atmoments when he describes hisprivate vision of atomic hell, Mr.Day Lewis is convincing. When heassumes a public voice, however,he loses influence.

Although the storiesI have mentioned here deal invarious ways with death and withruminative memories about whatone’s life has turned out to be.some of the others deal withpoints of inception in a charac¬ter’s life, action and change be¬coming the primary motifs.Learning what it means for aboy to become a man is the sub¬ject of “The Gun,” while learn¬ing what it means for a girl totake the first step toward becom¬ing a woman is the concern of“The Great Speckled Bird.” Here,as before, there is a coincidenceof plot structure and style withthe purposes of the characters(although “The Gun,” at the end.seems to me to fall flat).Tt is with respect to the endingsthat Lowrey’s stories stand orfall. To a great extent, this wouldbe true of any short story, butLowrey sets everything for theconclusion: devices and effectsare totally subordinate to it.though he handles them well.Some stories however, aren’twholly successful:: “Kith andKin” and “Fear No More theHeat of the Sun,” to name two.are disappointing because thevend on a platitude or trivial feed¬ing. attempting to inject themwith meaning by virtue of whatcame before; yet the platitudesexhibit no necessary connectionwith the unique personalities ofthe characters.

Lowrey convinces usthat at what is concrete dependson the specific way this or thattype of human being perceives it.He allows us to get close to afeeling of that concreteness byshowing us that it is both a spec¬trum of life forms and necessaryfor a sense of what life can be.Douglas C.
