'U' Provides Various Outlets for Creative Writing
PROGRAM NOTES:
'School for Scandal' Opens Wednesday
By JOHN HERRICK
The University and its communi-
ty offer one of the most fertile
grounds for growth and training
for students interested in crea-
tive writing.
To start with the most profitable
(money) aspect, there is the Jule
and Avery Hopwood literary con-
test.
This is the biggest cash literary
award system in the country. More
than $15,000 is awarded to stu-
dents each year on the basis of
submitted manuscripts.
Directions
Further information on this for
both the curious and the interest-
ed is available in the Hopwood
Rm. on the first floor of Angell
Hall. Enter between the pillars,
turn right and it's the first door
on your left.
Publication or performance are
here, too-in abundance. "Gen-
eration" is the campus inter-arts
magazine and is usually a quarter-
ly. Almost all of the manuscripts
it publishes are written by stu-
dents, and a few select faculty'
members, on this campus. True,
there is no pay, but then again:
there is no charge either.
And "Gargoyle" is back (may-
be). That's the campus humor
magazine and is open to cartoons
and humor articles from contribu-
tors.
Maybe you've written a play and
want it produced. Impossible? Not3
at all.
Musket this year is doing an
original musical by Jack O'Brien
and Bob James, both graduate stu-
dents here. The old Junior Girls
Play is planning on doing another
original musical by Milan Stitt,
'63. The University Players are
doing "A Matter of Style," a com-
edy by Jack O'Brien, grad.
The University Players also pro-
duce one-acts as a Laboratory
Playbill series at 4:10 p.m. on most
Thursdays. Last year there were
seven original one-acts by students
on this campus produced by the
Lab Playbill series. Interested stu-
dents should speak to Prof. Wil-
liam Halstead of the speech de-
partment.

And by enrolling in a creative
writing course, the student is al-
lowed contact with both the per-
sons and the works of contem-
poraries He is given something
approximating publication by hav-
ing his manuscripts read and criti-
cized in class. In short, he is given
the opportunity to respond to and
defend himself against the socie-
ty his work must come out of.
As to the oft-alleged stifling of
the writer by classes, the answer
of Prof. Robert Haugh of the Eng-
lish department is to bring up Ger-
trude Stein's Paris apartment. This
apartment was probably one of
the best seminars ever available
in creative writing. Among the
people who attended these "sem-
inars" were Ernest Hemingway,
Ford Mattox Ford, T. S. Eliot, D.
H. Lawrence and Ezra Pound.
Some of the examples given by
Prof. Haugh, who himself teaches
a creative writing course, as to
the results of this education are
Hemingway and Conrad. Almost
all of Hemingway reflects deep
knowledge and sympathy for the
19th century romantic. Conrad's
"Lord Jim" would be unrecogniz-
able if you took "Hamlet" out of it.
Needs Vicariousness
All this leads into Prof. Haugh's
views on the writers "experience."
This experience, according to Prof.
Haugh, often is and should be vi-
carious. "Thousands of people sail-
ed Conrad's south eas. Part of the
reason they didn't write 'Lord Jim'
is they didn't read 'Hamlet' and
have his experiences to draw on.
"In the same way an only child
can often write more sensitively
about large family life because he
is more acutely aware of it. It's
not simply familiar ground to be
accepted as it is."
Markl Shorer once said that
"technique leads to self-discovery."
In Prof. Haugh's view part of the
meaning of this statement is that
technique is not only how to write
but also being led into what to
write.
If a student writes himself into
a corner and can find no way out,
more often than not it is due to a
lack of technique.
away two or three years."
This is not much of a problem
in the physical sciences because
the thesis work is done right in
the laboratory, he said. But, stu-
dents in the humanities ,do not
have to complete their disserta-
tions on campus; many even hold
a job at another college and thus
"stretch out" their degree program
at the University.
"I don't know if this is harm-
ful, but it is certainly more diffi-
cult. We've been trying to speed
up the degrees," Sawyer said.
With an eye on the "terrible
pinch" looming ahead for profes-
sionally-trained personnel, the
graduate school has been using in-
formal methods such as time limits

and faculty prodding, "and it has
had some effect.
"Last year there were 356 Ph.D.'s
and the year before that 351; pre-
viously, however, the average was
about 276. This is a major change,"
Sawyer said.
He also noted that more schol-
arships for use in the humanities
are starting to come from agen-
cies such as the Health, Educa-
tion and Welfare Department and
the Woodrow Wilson Foundation.
"During the last 10 years, de-
grees have increased more rapidly
in the humanities than in the sci-
ences," Sawyer pointed out.
Statistics for 'U'
In fact, the University is pro-
ducing more humanities doctorates
than sciences. According to statis-
tics in Dean Bretsch's survey, 36.6
per cent of of 205 Ph.D.'s last
February were in the social sci-
ences, 15.1 in the engineering sci-
ences, 13.2 in the physical sciences,
11.2 in biological sciences, 10.2 in
Arts and area studies, 8.8 in lan-
guages and literature and 4.9 in
health sciences.
This totals up to 55.6 per cent of
the students in areas of humani-
ties, and 44.4 in the sciences.
Nearly three quarters of these
students reported employment
and/or scholarships during "most
semesters" of their degree pro-
grams.
Jobs, Finances Differ
Percentage of employment was
fairly constant among all the stu-
dents (this sample contained only
186 of the 205 graduates), but the
statistics bear out Heyns's state-
ment on scholarships: the science
students virtually dominate this
aspect, in most cases having twice
the percentage held by students in
the humanities.
The mathematical correlation
between the two percentages of
employment and scholarships was
computed, and a uniformly high,
correlation was found between to-
tal hours employed during pro-
grams and the time lapse between
matriculation to doctorate.
A uniformly low correlation was
found between total hours employ-
ed during semesters enrolled and
between the time needed to achieve
the degree.
Implications
These figures "seem to indicate
consistently heavy employment
schedules during semesters not en-
rolled-and, in turn, a further
lengthening of the usual doctoral
program," the survey stated.
In general, "this would suggest
that in contrast with full-time em-
ployment, the part-time employ-
ment of students as teaching fel-
lows, research assistants, etc., does
not significantly or excessively
prolong the period of study."
If these programs are to be
completed more quickly, more two-
year scholarships should be given
out, as "scholarships for one year,
whether students were employed
or not, did not seem to speed up
the completion of a program," the
survey concluded.
The University's new Profession-
al Theatre Program will open its
Fall Festival with the production
