THEMICHIGANDAILY SPIRITUAL VACUUM: Sellin Views French Writing' Program Notes OXFORD PROJECT: Assembly Announces Details of Co-ops y MARILYN KORAL lilemma of modern man, tual vacuum, is something world and literary history: no the burden of a 1 A ier Sees 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 PROF. ERIC SELLIN *.. 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." Across Campus, Prof. Samuel D.
