LISON, POWERS, HAUGH:
English Staff Discusses 'Short Story'

1(

By BARBARA NEUMAN
"During the twentieth century
the short story has come of age,"
Alexander W. Allison, assistant,
professor of English said in a panel.
discussion of the modern short
story yesterday.
Other panel members were J. F.
Powers, author of "Lions, Harts,
Leaping Does," and "Blue Island,"
and Robert Haugh, assistant pro-
fessor of English.
The modern short story is more
likely to record mental happenings
than physical, according to the
panelists.
Episode Sequence
It is composed of a sequence of
controlled episodes which don't
interlock as they do in dramatic
stories.
"This type of story has been
misnamed as the New Yorker-type
story," said Haugh.,
"Readers are often puzzled with
it and think that it doesn't go any-
where or do anything.
"The story can't be discussed in
terms of struggle, conflict or plot,
the old dramatic tools." he added.
Poetic Criticism
Because it is like lyric poetry,
the modern short story -is now
being criticized in poetic terms.'
The dramatic short story is not
dead, however. Some writers, like

Hemingway and Powers,
both types.

Powers' present theory is that
"if a , dramatic way could have'
been found to tell the story, it
would have been used. I now feel
that the dramatic method is bet-
ter."
The author of the modern
"Lions, Harts, Leaping Does" con-
tinued, "Old age may have caused
the change in my feelings. I now
wouldn't attempt to write a series
of beautiful sentences; I would let
a skeleton of plot support the in-
cidental words."
Purpose of Art
In Powers' opinion, "The pur-
pose of art is to take the reader

out of his life and put him into
another. If he realizes that he is
only reading a story, the author
has failed.
"Because in modern stories the
reader sometimes becomes aware
that the author is writing at him,
the dramatic story is stronger and
better," he said. .
Anger at society has caused
Powers to write. He feels that
modern writers have been "kicked
out of society.
"Therefore, true artists will write
about other exiles of society rather
than the present American hero,
the businessman," he concluded.
Powers, who has been guest lec-
turer of the English department
this semester, is leaving today.

SPORTS FACTS
THE YEAR 1917 marked Michigan's entry into the Big Ten
basketball wars. But three years in competition with experienced
Conference teams resulted in nothing better than a fourth-place
finish for the young Wolverines.
THEN CAMF THE YEAR 1920, and for half a basketball
season it seemed to be just a repeat performance of the previous
Maize and Blue court disasters.-'Suddenly out of the blue a
spark was ignited and the Michigan quintet put together an
extended winning streak reaching for, five and finally six games,
a challenging position for the title.
ILLINOIS STOOD as the barrier to the Maize and Blue un-
beaten string and at the same time stood in the way of its
championship dreams. The Wolverine-Illini battle was held at
the Urbana High School gymnasium on March 7, 1921.
MICHIGAN DID NOT make one substitution in the whole
40 minutes of do-or-die action. With Bill Miller, a forward, and
Bob Dunne, the center, putting on a dazzling exhibition. of
shooting, Illinois could never grab the lead and the half endedi
with Michigan on top, 14-11.
ILLINOIS TOOK the lead once during the game, but Miller
responded by knotting the count at 18-all. Baskets by Art Kar-
pus, Bud1 Rea and Dunne put the finishing touches on the hard-
earned triumph which the Michigan five annexed by a scant
28-26 margin.
ONE NIGHT LATER, Wisconsin topped Ohio State, 34-24,
to create a triple tie with Purdue. In jumping from the bottom
to the top of the Big Ten Conference heap, Michigan had
staged a comeback of dynamic proportions. Never in the history
of Conference basketball had a team engineered such a remark-
able reversal.
