PAGE FOUR THE MICHIGAN DAILY SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26. 1953 DEVOTES LIFE TO WORK: Famed Authoress Visiting University <4> * * * U' Accepts $400,000 in Gifts, Grants (4, By RONA FRIEDMAN "I never decided to be a writer, I just was one," vivacious, gray- haired Katherine Anne Porter, prominent author who is now a visiting professor in . the English department, commented. "At five," she added, "I was writing some strange things and at the age of six I realized that I was constantly writing. How- ever it wasn't until I was 25 years old that I tried it seriously." When Miss Porter was 29 years old her short story titled "Maria Concepcion" was published as part of the volume "Flowering Judas" which appeared in 1930. * .* * "MY LIFE and work," Miss Por- ter said, "have been one thing." She describes her life as a flowing one with nothing forced. Things just happened. "Like the time I got a Guggenheim Fellowship for creative writing to study in. Eur- ope for a year," she recalled. My husband was in the Foreign Ser- vice so I just stayed on for nearly six years. Miss Porter who is teaching contemporary poetry (English 170) at present, feels that today there are more really serious or good poets than prose fiction writers. She thinks 'that al- though novelists today are ex- cellent technically they are not covering life. "They are pessi- mistic," she continued, "while the poets aren't." Poets are more tender and deal with the two basic themes °of love and death. "To me," she said, "it seems as though poetry is on the rise while fiction prose appears to be following a level path." To explain'her point she read some poems from volumes of her favorite contemporary poets which included Harold Norse, Randall Jarell, John Malcolm Brinnin and William J. Smith. "HOPWOOD contests," she said, "are a good institution for they help to draw publishers attention to the new writers." "Also," she continued, "for financial reasons the Hopwood contests are a good idea, for the real artist's path is a perilous one." The only danger, she added, is the human falibility of judges which sometimes results in the choice of the wrong piece of writing. Lighting a cigarette, Miss Por- ter described the time of her youth, which is usually associated County To Award Courthouse Job Washtena*'s Board of Super- visors will decide Tuesday which of six bidders, two of them from Ann Arbor, will receive the con- tract to build the new $3,250,000 courthouse. Officials estimate the court- house probably will not be finished before mid-1955.

"Today however," she said, "it is the custom for the youth to be free and there is no need for re- bellion." "But," she continued, "I've no- ticed a tendency today among young people to run to psychia- trists whenever they are faced with a problem instead of facing '* .* * up to the problem themselves. They don't seem to realize that their problems aren't unique, but natural." With a laugh she added that to be adjusted to certain condi- tions in this world and this so- ciety would be a horrible thing." It would amount to criminal col- lusion with many evils," she said, continuing, "I am not at all well adjusted and have no intention of becoming so." 'M' Band To Under New1 When Michigan's Marching Band presents its first perform- ance of the 1953 season today, Floyd Zarbock, '54A, new drum major will be at the helm. Zarbock, band twirler for four years, will be followed by com- panion twirlers Gurdon Patton, '57, and Bill Modlin, '56. FOLLOWING the three leaders will be the largest Marching Band in University history. One hun- dred forty-six men and 11 alter- nates will take part in today's per- formance. Boasting the largest tryout class in many seasons, George Cavender, assistant band con- ductor, said several newcomers were eliminated because they were physically unable to march as often and as strenuously as the band requires. Starting rehearsals less than two weeks ago with about 50 band men who had never marched "Micliigan style,"' Prof. Revelli of the music school, director of the Perform Drum Major band, has succeeded in whipping the group together for their first snappy performance. * * * FOR THE pre-game show the men will enter the field with their 200-step-a-minute cadence play- ing Michigan's . fight song, "The Victors." Spelling "MICH" as they cross the field, the band will halt and perform the "Star Spangled Banner," under Cavender's direc- tion. As a salute to the visiting team, the unit will quickly spell "HI" as they play the Univer. sity of Washington fight song, "Bow Down to Washington." The half time show will be de- voted to an educational story of how Band members trained, re- hearsed and became part of a highly precisioned machine, in marching as well as playing. DEMONSTRATING intricate and fancy marching fundamentals, the band will do each step slowly as it must when initial drills be- gin. After illustrating how it ap- peared during the first week of re- hearsals, the Band will conclude the set by demonstrating the fin- ished product. After showing the old static and unanimated steps that were once in fashion, the band will give life and a new twist to the formation of a cat. While humping the cat's back, moving its feet and curling its tail, the band will play Leroy Anderson's popular tune "The Waltzing Cat." A dazzling dance routine will be the next feature as the band regroups playing the Tin Pan Alley classic, "Alexander's Rag Time Band." To conclude activities the band will leave'the field with the tra- ditional "Hat's Off" routine. The Block 'M' fiashcard section will also perfoi'm during the game and half-time ceremonies. Using' two sets of colors this year, the 1,200-student group will present displays during all home games except the Iowa game, when Michigan Band Day presentations will honor high school bands.
