Prof. examines lost Hemingway manuscript By Yael Kohen Daily Staff Reporter In 1922, Hadley'Hemingway, then wife of Ernest Hemingway, lost a suit- case containing one of the renowned author's manuscripts while traveling on a train to Switzerland. The suitcase, which was never recovered, was the subject of a lecture given by Prof. Nicholas Delbanco yesterday at the Rackham Amphitheater. The lecture was held in honor of English Prof. Delbanco's appointment to the Robert Frost Collegiate Professorship in English Language and Literature. "I think he's an eloquent writer and his vocabulary is extensive." - Josh Lefkowitz First-year Music student "Prof. Delbanco's commitment to writers at the University of Michigan has been extraordinary and I'm delighted that he received the recognition because it is deserved," Rackham graduate stu- dent Nicholas Harp said. Although Delbanco received the University's professorship honoring poet Robert Frost, he chose to speak about Hemingway. Delbonco's lecture, "The Lost Suitcase" examined how Hemingway's work was never recovered but was not completely lost. "My assumption ... is that it became part of his 'A Movable Feast,' Delbanco said, adding that "I think that part of the early work was there." "I found his remarks interesting and what I liked best ... was that it was clearly a project of some person- al importance to him," Harp said. Delbanco, who has authored many books, was insistent that as a prose writer he did not feel comfortable dis- cussing Frost. But not all audience members shared Delbanco's feelings that parts of Hemingway's work could be replicated in "A Movable Feast." "I don't think I could remember the best parts," of a manuscript LSA senior Kate Gotham said of Delbanco's assumption that Hemingway was capa- ble of replicating his manuscript from memory. The lecture comes at a key time as Hemingway fans everywhere cele- brateathe renowned author's centenni- al year. The presentation included reading from Delbanco's own fiction. Some audience members said they did not completely understand the message Delbanco was trying to con- vey. "I think he's an eloquent writer 'and his vocabulary is extensive," said Music first-year student Josh Lefkowitz, adding that if he could have read Delbanco's speech he could have gained more form the lec- ture. Stanford dean speaks on anti-discrimination law I Award-wining law professor suggests gay rights movement could be the next major civil rights struggle in America By Adam Zuwerink Daily Staff Reporter "Have we had the last civil rights struggle?" Stanford Law School Dean Kathleen Sullivan opened her lecture yesterday with this title ques- tion - referring to the possibility that the move- ment for gay rights could be another major strug- gle in American society. But Sullivan, delivering her speech to nearly 100 listeners at Rackham Auditorium, spent most of the hour and half detailing her view of the clas- sical history of American Constitutional anti-dis- criminatory law and the recent criticisms from the political right and left toward the legalisms of anti- discrimination. Sullivan was introduced by University Law School Dean Jeffrey Lehman as "the complete law professor" because of her multiple teaching awards, reputation as a brilliant scholar through her published works, including co-authorship of the latest edition of the classic casebook "Constitutional Law," and her commentary on such news programs as ABC's "Nightline" and CNN's "Crossfire." Sullivan stepped into the position of dean three weeks ago and previously served as professor of law at both Stanford and Harvard Law Schools. The first part of Sulivan's lecture dealt with what she called the "spectrum" of group defini- tions. On the one side is the view that individual rela- tionships within social groups are fluid and people shift their involvements between groups over time. "Groups are easy to join and exit. No one group completely identifies a person," Sullivan said. "American anti-discrimination law is classically understood as being less-entrenching" But on the other side of the spectrum is the nationalistic conception of social groups and the particular social identity it regulates on one's social interactions Using Kosovo as an example, Sullivan said these "ancient conflict ideologies are passed down over generations and are etched in stone." Located in between these two opposites are what Sullivan called "ascriptive" groups, the type of groups that civil rights laws identify and ban discrimination against. Next, Sullivan outlined the critiques of anti-dis- crimination law. She said many who are politically aligned with the right and left feel anti-discrimination law has hardened groups and strengthened sentiments. But Sullivan said the conservative's view of "equal rights, not special rights" does not apply to gay rights, like it does to affirmative action debates. As her closing remark, Sullivan said "Anti-dis- crimination is about freeing individuals to groups and from them" Sullivan's lecture was sponsored by the Telluride Association and was the first in a series of Telluride Lectures this year. Operating a house at Cornell University, of which Sullivan is a former member, Telluride plans to open a house next fall at 1735 Washtenaw Avenue, and will provide a room and board schol- arship to members of the house. Currently, the association is operating a pilot program with eight University students. LSA first-year student Joseph Sosa, a pilot member of the Telluride House, said, "The fact that she's an alumnus (of the Telluride House at Cornell) inspires me that some day I'll be able to give a lecture such as this." JESSICA JOHNSON/Daily LSA junior Liza Rios talks with Stanford Law School Dean Kathleen Sullivan yesterday at Rackham Auditorium. Sullivan spoke to students about anti-discrimination law in the United Sates. Dance club employee overdoses on GHB I Another Deloitte Consulting Oifference By Dave Enders Daily Staff Reporter A 24-year-old employee of The Nectarine, located at 510 E. Liberty Street, was taken to the University of Michigan Hospital Saturday morn- ing due to an apparent overdose of the increasingly popular drug gamma hydroxy butrate, also known as GHB. The man was admitted for treatment shortly before 4 a.m. and Ann Arbor Police officers were called to take a report, said Ann Arbor Police Department Sgt. Myron Blackwell. "His friends said 'he was tripping out,"' Blackwell said. The drug, which is more commonly known as GHB, was reported by the Ann Arbor News to be involved in a second overdose earlier in the morning, involving a 23-year-old Idaho man who was found unconscious outside the Nectarine around 1 a.m. The man was transported to the University Hospital Emergency Room. No arrests were made in either case, police said. Traces of GHB, which is produced naturally by the human body in small quantities, was found in the body of University student Courtney Cantor last year, who died after falling from her sixth-floor Mary Markley Residence Hall window. The drug is said to produce relax- ation and euphoria and is often con- sumed with alcohol in social situa- tions. The illicit drug has also been used in date-rape situations, as it increases sex drive and slows social inhibition. DELOITTE CONSULTING: Let's work this through together. State searches for more prison guards LANSING, (AP) - The state's Department of Corrections is having dif- ficulty hiring 2,500 new guards for its prison expansion and will considering relaxing its educational requirements. The Corrections Department has planned a 7,000-bed expansion at a time when there's competition for workers. "Its a struggle when you have a 4.2- percent unemployment rate and only two college graduates out of every 100 unable to find jobs," said Corrections Department Recruitment Manager Gary Raff. A state council on training standards will decide Monday whether to drop the requirement that job candidates must have earned at least 15 college credits in criminal justice or related fields. Instead, they would have 18 months to complete the courses after being hired. A high school diploma would still be required along with not having felony convictions or pending misdemeanor charges. They also would have to pass a civil service exam for the $30,220 posi- tion.
