Wolfe spoke about what he termed "the really taboo subject of class and status." He sees the American people inventing all kinds of theories to gloss over the realities of class divisions and tensions. Among these theories, Wolfe listed the idea of a generation gap and of a counter culture. The counter culture' theory, Wolfe said, reaches its extreme in Charles Reich's book "The Greening of America," in which "youth becomes the collective Messiah come to save the U.S. from 200 years of cultural rigidity." 97 TODAY-4 BEEF ON BUN Two Vegetables fit Bread TH 97t Back of the YOU CAN BETA IS Thursday, April 15, 2-5 American Legion Hut (Near Featuring iu K j $2.00 Per Person-Proceeds ; '."fO o'Uf SALE RUNS THRU SUNDAY BILLBOARD'S TOP 60 SALE All 4.98 List LP's On Top 60 1 1 JANIS J0PLIN Peart Columbia KC 30322 JESUS CHRIST, SUPERSTAR 12 22 o Various Artists l pecca DXSA 7205 3 5 ANDY WILLIAMS 9 Love Story Columbia KC 30497 4 2 LOVE STORY 16 - Soundtrack Paramount PAS 6002 5 4 JIMI HENDRIX 7 Cry of Love Reorise MS 2034 ' 7 THREE DOG NIGHT 8 " Golden Bisquits Dunhill DS 50098 17 PARTRIDGE FAMILY 3 Up to Date ' Bell 6059 - 8 9 CAT STEVENS' 11 Tea for the Tillerman A&M SP 4280 9 8 SANTANA'' 28 Abraxas Columbia KC 30130 10 10 CARPENTERS 31 Close to You A&V SP 427' 11 6 CHICAGO III , 12 Columbia C2 30110. 12 13 BLACK SABBATH 9 .Paranoid 'Warner Bros.

Instead of attributing all the new and ' interesting ideas in America to the counter culture, Wolfe said he feels the "latter-day adventures" "of the middle class are some of the most exciting things happening in our culture. There are at least two counter cultures in America, Wolfe continued. He sees American youth divided along class lines and tension developing between working class youth and the New Left. Wolfe cited high school cliques as early examples of this class tension. "The deep division between these groups was later to break out into something we need to work at today," he added. Class tension, Wolfe said, is partly : 30-7: 309 7E 97, Zoom b2l P.M. & 8-12 P.M.

This resentment, he added, is not without justification. Wolfe also accused intellectuals of "tending to build up this kind of resentment" in their writing. "We've got to start taking seriously this kind of class tension," the author continued. Wolfe warned, "It's something all of us have to worry about when we can define intellectual according to matters of taste." "All of us tend to be very conscious of snobbery in others; we don't tend to see it in ourselves," Wolfe admonished. "We've got to start being as candid with ourselves as we have been with others, he advised. After his speech. Wolfe fielded questions from the audience.

When questioned about his journalistic style, Wolfe commented, "Journalistic writing is still rank enough that the idea of immortality for the writer doesn't enter into it." Wolfe, a native of Richmond, Va., received his Ph.D. in American studies from Yale.
