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. Survey Analyzes Length Ot GraduatePrograms (Continued from Page 1) 14 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 - ; CONTINUOUS FROM ..0 1 P.M.

"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 of Richard Brinsley Sheridan's "The School for Scandal" at Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre.
