A trio of writers singed the
beatniks beards and literary ef
forts headed for the real fire
in future literature during a
symposium panel discussion on
writing Tuesday afternoon.
No current vital revolution ex
ists in literature said John Ald
ridge, critic and author from
Hollins College. This is a pefiod
of consolidation and refinement
in literary works, he noted.
Undercurrents of revolution
were detected by panelist An
drew Lytle, editor of the Se
wanee Review who observes cer
tain things are always recurring.
"This perpetual experience that
is always true is called arche
type." Archetypal writing is a
possibility for the future he pre
dicts. 'Give it human character
istics", he says, "because its got
to resemble human beings".
No Poetry Revolution
Poet Charles Eaton of Chapel
Hill noted "no signs of any revo
lution of great vitality" in poet
ry. He sides with the hopefuls
in writing rather than the com
' plaints, he said.
Vernacular writing of Eliot and
Pound has become too colloauial
he thinks. Beatniks don't say
anything new to Eaton. The
. Beatnik movement is not a revo
lution but a symptom of a ter
rible fatigue to him. "What they
say has been said so much bet
ter before. It is like the flux of
the mind spewing forth. Th
Beatniks'
seen before, he stated, made these
people feel that they had been
cheated and gave them a desire to
make up for lost time. .
"The history of these times," he
said, "will be called the history
of the era of independence not of
the struggle between freedom and
communism."
McGee stated that we must act
as though we believe what we say
about freedom, and attacked the
extremists in America who "fear

End Of Realist Novel
The difference between Bohem

of the face, Aldridge observed.
The modern age is in a constant
state of revolution he said but
there is a distinction between
the truly vital revolutions and
the beat or angry young men
movements. -The
realist novel is done for,
Lytle noted. Nothing can be add
ed to it. Writers deal more and
more in myth now, he said.
The problem of envisioning ex
perience without falling into
stereotyped cliches faces the
novelist now, stated Aldridge.
Personal Revolution Is Vital
The personal revolution is
more important than the social
revolution in writing Eaton not
ed. "The writer has got to fall
back on himself and make a
world he can live in with dignity.
The writer's problem is how to
keep an integrated life. He can
not always blame his culture or
his mama and daddy," he said.
To what extent can social
values become dramatic values?
Aldridge answered that the de

"The people of most of the rest
of the world are desperately poor
in a way that we can scarcely
comprehend." McGee then cited a
number of examples of world pov
erty such as a Congo chieftain
whose annual income is about $20.
"We must remember that people
are different." Wre have to under
stand, he said, the various cul
tures of man, and we cannot ex
pect them to arbitrarily adopt our
standards.
"The people of the world are in
a desperate hurry," he stated as
the fourth concept. "They don't
intend to work out studious ra
tionalizations for their actions.
They intend only to make up for
lost time in a hurry."
"These people hold the hand of
the medicine on one side and Ihe
tail of a rocket on the other. They
want to pull the two together
now."
In conclusion, the senior, senator
from Wyoming said that America
needs less hypocrisy. "The people
must accept the harsh realities,
and the leaders must tell the
people what they do not like to

The case involving the litter of

office of student affairs, reported
yesterday.
"There was no dorm damage,"
Strong said, "and we don't want
to make an example of Aycock.
The only damage was a broken
chair not belonging in the TV
room." Strong also said that he
was misquoted in the DTH yester
day with regard to his statements
concerning the magnitude of the

has done well considering what
they have to work with.
Arthur Beaumont, chief of cam

the case other than that it was out
of his hands.

The New York publishing house

associate professor of English . at
UNC.
Entitled "Modern Continental
Literary Criticism," the 352-page
paperbound book presents a col

history of Continental literary crit
icism since Kant. Included in the
anthology are selections by major
French, German, Italian and Rus
sian critics.
Dr. Hardison, who taught at
the University of Tennessee and
at Princeton University before
coming to Chapel Hill has chosen
and arranged the contents to em
phasize three principal phases of
Continental criticism aethetic,
scientific and humanistic.

of the total votes cast.
Wrye and Clotfelter defeated Ern

expresses himself for instance, the
arrival of perspective in paintings
during the Italian Renaissance and
more recently, the change to ab

Two of the selections are trans

year earlier at Wisconsin.
speaking at the Art Symposium
yesterday afternoon. Mr. Gussow,
art instructor at State College, was
speaking in answer to audience
questions about the artist and com
munication.
The discussion between Mr. Gus
sow and Dr. John Sedgwick Jr
got off to a lively start as Dr
Sedgwick expressed the opinion
that we are not in the middle of
a revolution in the arts at least
not a clearly defined one. Speaking
mostly in respect to painters. Dr.
Sedgwick went on to say that not
since the New York School of the
1940s has there been anything in
America close to a revolution in
art.
Mr. Gussow was more limiting
not since the period of 1905-1915
has America had a revolution in
art. Frank Lloyd Wright and others
just prior to the first World War
comprised the only real new per
iod in art .
Furthermore, Mr. Gussow did not
think people would be able to recog
nize a revolution if they saw it.
This brought sharp questions from
the audience of some 150. It was
at this time that Mr. Gussow went
on to express himself on com
munication in art. He stated that
it was the responsibility of the
audience to take the active part
in the communication process
rather than the artLt.
MIKE LAWLER
Revolutions in ourselves as a
result of, Grierson said, "a con
stant bombardment on our minds
by the expanding images and new
realities."
Seldes, first director of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania's Annen
berg School of Communications,
was not overly optimistic in pres
ent changes concerning the "qual
ity in the way in which we receive
the arts now."
Nothing Immortal Now
"Entertainment, almost perpetual,-
enters our personal lives every
day," he said. "I'm not at all sure
that we're creating anything im
mortal and lasting, except per
haps a few silent movies and per
haps some jazz music."
Seldes asked, "What good are
they (new methods of communica
tion) doing for us? We know we
have incalculable instruments of
communication and we wonder
how to use them."
"Science makes a jump every
five years and it takes the mind
ten to catch up."
He spoke of the "dangers in not
knowing what the needs of the
public really are and the danger
of creating dullness, deadness and
inertia."
Hypocritical Snobbery
"We have to get over a kind of
snobbery," Seldes said. "The snob
bery of saying it's only good if
'we, the civilized minority,' say
its good."
The critic said there is a per
petual need to preach against ig
norance and suggested this is one
area where the new "engines of
communication" could make sig
nificant changes.
One real revolutionary phe
nomenon, said Seldes, has been the
arrival of the American school of
painting and it is recognized in
Europe as a legitimate new school.
The second speaker, John Grier
son, chairman of the Scottish
Government Television said, the
basic source of change in the arts
lies in the changes in society, "as
new economic forces and widening
horizons establish new habits of
thought and new values among
men; and as these, in turn sug
gest new dramatic patterns and
images of beauty."
Realities Affect Art
"This bombardment of new
realities certainly affects our own
perspectives and our sense of ap
preciation. There will, of course, be
some pessimism the problem of
aesthetic harmony."
"This results in such psychologi
cal problems as exemplifed by the
'beat' in America and the conflict
of the individual and the corpora
tion man all marks of much that
is personally unresolved in our ex
periences." "This certainly affects the arts,
but I don't think this pessimism is
lasting," Grierson said. "Because
there is the one final measurement
that all artists eventually come
back to: human destiny."
He used this same concern of
the artist with human destiny as
the reason for disagreeing with Dr.
Crane Brinton, opening symposium
speaker. Grierson said he did not
think that "former aesthetic revo
lutions will be dispossessed by
later revolutions."
Arts Are In The Present
However, he added, "We can ad
mire the old arts but we rrmst
