B ias Effect
The gross national p r o d u c t
would be increased by about $20,
billion if racial discrimination in
education and hiring practices
were eliminated, 'Prof. William
Haber, chairman of the economics
department, said' recently.
The American Negro has con-
tributed to economic progress by
providing "an important labor re-
serve at crucial times [in our his-
tory," Prof. Haber said. "But his
contributions would have been
even greater if equality of oppor-
tunity had been available in train-
ing, education and- jobs."
Speaking at centennial observ-
ances of the Emancipation Procla-
mation at Wayne State University,
he said, "we are ,.not quite rich,
enough to afford such waste, apart
from the matter of human dignity
and status which is basic to our
creed."
Three Spurts
Haber noted that three spurts -in
the Negro's economic progresshave
been closely related to the levels
of employment in the general
economy:,
1) World War I, when the labor
shortage- suddenly opened non-
agricultural jobs.
2) The cessation of European
immigration. in the mid 1920's,
which enabled the Negro -to move
into jobs in factories, mines and
transportation heretofore filled by,
immigrants.:
3) The "forward m o v e m e n t
across the board" in World War II
when jobs in semi-skilled and
skilledcrafts first became avail-
able and gains were retained and
expanded in the economic boom
between 1945 and 1955.
Lower Rungs
Negro workers today are "still
on the lowest rungs of the occu-
pation scale," but are entering
skilled jobs, professions, civil ser-
vice and higher education, Prof.
Haber said.
United States colleges and uni-,
versities contain 233,000 Negroes,
as compared with 128,000 in 1954.
This is an increase of 82 per cent.
White students have increased at
a rate pf only 55 per cent for the
same period..,
creative elite, but of all men, Prof.
Eric Sellin of the University of
Pennsylvania said yesterday.
Speaking on "French Literature
in the Cold War," he noted that
"a cataclysmic schism- has taken.
place separating all preceding ages
from the 20 years since 1945.".°For
the first time artists And thinkers
all, over the world are concerned
because the future of,civilization
is in serious jeopardy.
Literary movements in postwar
France have, demonstrated this
universal concern. "Sartre's devel-
oping concept of existentialism did
not so much foster defeatism as
find a cocked ear on the part of
those who were spiritually shell-
shocked from World War II," Sel-
lin saitd.
Sense of Absurd-
An aspect of modern French
literature particularly reflected in
the works of Sartre and Camus is
the sense of the absurd, he added.
"This approach to life was not
invented by Sartre and Camus;-it
just happened to. find its. fruition
in a period " when history provided'
most of mankind a position from
which to sense the absurd. Sartre
and' Camus are not the leaders,
but rather the spokesmen," he
said.
Sellin claimed the climate of the
post-war period lent itself to "to-
tal theatre," expression of the
total absurdity of the human con-
dition. Ionesco, Adamov and Genet
exploited man's ludicrousness,
which was illuminated by the war.
in "Waiting ;For Godot," Samuel
Becket implied that the hapless
animal man does not even have
the possibility for suicide, he ex-
plained.
Beyond the notion of the ab-
surdity of man's condition, Sellin
went on to describe the "natural"
aspect of current French litera-
ture.
Reverence on Objects
Poets in particular are writing
with a reverence and dependence
on natural objects. Sellin conclud-
ed that this movement, typified
in the poems of Jean Rousselot
and 'Grosjean, represents an un-
derstandable desire to "come back
to- the time when we didn't exist
in order to begin anew..
"One thinks he should turn to
,the primordial touchstone, cling
to the natural world because al-
though it is senseless it will sur-.
vive mankind, should mankind go
berserk. It will somehow elude the
erosion of time," Sellin said.
The rhythms of impending an-
nihilation are present in most of

*.. literary. change.
recent French .writing, notably in
the work of poets like Clancierx.
Sellin explained the peculiar
role of the artist in the Cold War:
"the provisional status of his work
puts emphasis not on 'millenial
survival but on the, moment of
composition, and thus places the
struggle for survival in a bold re-
lief."

request of Rep. Richard A. Guzow-
ski (D-Detroit), as part of an

fulfill her duty, she receives a
