'Jim- Beatty See Edits, Page Two And O A man who believes that "cul-1 tural life of a free people must be; sought out" and who is the cultural j coordinator of the White House will give the commencement ad dress at commencement exercises, June 3, it was announced this week by Chancellor William B. Aycock. August Heckscher, the first man .in the history of the United States to hold a post as the President's special consultant on the arts, be lieves that all levels of government should more seriously consider art and architecture. He will address students, faculty, trustees and guests on the occasion of the 169th graduation exercises. Formerly chief editorial writer for the New York Herald Tribune, Heckscher is known as a teacher, philosopher and writer. He is the author of several books and ar tides and a former instructor in government at Yale University, Appointment Heckscher's appointment to the part-time post as the President' consultant on the arts was announ ced in I-ebruary of this year. He nad previously formulated his views on culture in a chapter en titled "The Quality of American Culture," prepared for the Presi dent's Commission on Nationa: Goals report in 1960. In this report, Heckscher stated that cultural life can be "encour aged guided, sustained." He said that the goals of cultural activity muse consist cf being able to dis tinguish between real art and fad- dism and must embrace an aware ness and a deep appreciation of what is going on in societv. As President Kennedy's special consultant, Heckscher acts as a cultural affars liaison between the VVnite House and government and private agencies. He also surveys the general relationship between the government and the arts. Directs Fund Since 1956, Heckscher has been the director of the Twentieth Cen tury Fund, a research institution that subsidizes public education projects and studies involving eco nomic and soial questions. He is also a member of the Internation al Council of the New York Mu seum of Modern Art, has served as art commissioner of the city of New York, and is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the American Civil Liberties Union, and Phi Beta Kappa. Following assumption of his du ties as cultural coordinator, Heck scher has shown particular interest in the areas of architecture, the ater, and music. He believes that the United States can do more to show its appreciation of architec ture through public buildings, and compared the construction of U. S. embassies and consulates abroad as examples of what this country and what government can do in architecture. He has said that "if someone suggests elegance in a public building, the matter is hush ed up as if it were a scandal." Commenting upon the relative absence of public buildings in New York for example, Heckscher said, if PAN-HELL President Fran Roth.- left, presents Tri Delt President Nancy DuPuy with the Pan-HeU Scholarship Award .for the sorority having the highest average last spring.

Steinbeck, 60, is the sixth Ameri can to win the literary award. His prize money is worth $50,043. The Swedish Academy of Let ters hailed Steinbeck for "his at one and the same time realistic and imaginative writings, distin guished as they are by a sym pathetic humor and social per ception." In New York, Steinbeck said he was overcome ny tne nonor oi winning -the award.

The ex perimental libraries will be locat ed in Ehnnghaus and t-xaige. Ford Rowan, President of Eh- ringhaus, said that the two dorms were . chosen because they contain nearly half of the freshman class and are most distant from the Wil son Library. Rowan added that he hoped that the committee would consider his proposal of setting up libraries in "six geographically located .dormi tories around campus." Rowan said he is confident that the experiment will work, and he hopes that it will be instituted in the near future. The Dorm Improvements.

"They've been sort of spread out," he said. "Some of the under dogs are on top now. Thirty years ago, you could tell the underdog by looking at him he was broke and hungry. Now, he might be on top of his office building." He said that the major contribu tion of a writer to his time, how ever, is criticism, and that the writer must "dissent" to criticize.
