Cowley Discusses Publis By JOAN KAATZ "Best prescription for getting a book published is to write it well," Malcolm Cowley advised recently at a Michigan Writer's Conference informal discussion. Cowley, editor of "The Portable Hemingway" and "The Portable Faulkner", spoke on the subject of publishing houses and their treatment of manuscripts. Many Novels Written According to Cowley, there were never as many novels being writ- ten and so few being published as now. This leads to the unpublished writer's curiosity about the pub- lisher. "Often," he mused, "the unpub- lished writer thinks the plublisher is a many-headed watchdog swal- lowing up several manuscripts at a time. However, if a publisher can find anew author it certainly is is a feather in his cap," he added. Cowley went on to explain how a manuscript gets handled once it reaches the publishing house. The first reader, "one of the lowly publishing institutions", briefly reads the manuscript and then makes a decision on the ba- sis of style and story-line, accord- ing to Cowley. Receives Second Reading If the story is good, it receives a second reading by one of sev- eral editors. If it meets with his approval it is then brought up at the editor's -meeting. "This is always called a meet- ing and never a conference, al- though that is essentially what it is," Cowley quipped. "I guess 'the ing Houses meeting' is just another publish- ing tradition," he added. A manuscript may become so- licited if the publisher finds an author's work which he likes in such magazines as The New York- er, Harper's or Atlantic Monthly. In this case the manuscript may skip over the first reader and go directly to the editor. Bypasses First Reader Occassionally a story may by- pass the first reader if brought to the company by a good agent or highly recommended by someone in the literary field, he said. Once a manuscript is ready for publishing, a meeting of salesmen from all over the country is called. He explained, "At the editor's meeting all the weaknesses of the book are brought out, but at the sales meeting it's as if the book were another Hamlet." 'GREEKEST' HAS FIRM HAND: Adams Enjoying Classes After Years on SL, SGC WORRIED ?°= a EXAM TIME~.~ is Outline Time A Use our condensed STUDPY OU=TLINE S for EXAMS ALL SUBJECTS By VERNON NARRGANG There was a time, not too many months ago, when the visitor to a Student Government Council meeting watched progressive and orderly procedure - under the firm gavel hand of Bill Adams. As president during SGC's sec- ond year of existence, Adams brought a quiet, m o d e r a t e, thoughtful tone to the Council and its meetings, raising SGC's status on campus and leading the Coun- cil to final recognition only last week as the "official" voice of the student body. At all meetings Adams was Council Chief. His efficient hand- ling of the controversial initial meeting on Sigma Kappa - re- membered today as "Dec. 5"-re- mains a source of secret pride to him. Order Keeping With hundreds of constituents and onlookers in the Union ball- room, emotions running high, notes passing wildly, verbal mes- sages flowing like water and ev- eryone wanting to speak, Adams made the decisions and kept the order. "An AP correspondent told me after the meeting that it went very well," Adams relates. "It helped." His entrance into graduate busi- ness administration school in February forced the ex-president's resignation from SGC - just one month before his second term as president was to expire. But that was not the end of his three years' work with SGC. At the very next meeting, speak- ing from the floor as a constitu- cause "I was the Greekest Greek they could find." As a Greek, Adams finds some value in the democracy of fra- ternity living. "The right kind of leaders," he claims, "can do a great deal for all whlo are there." Literary Meaning On fraternities as institutions, the Grosse Pointer notes, "a lot of them started out as literary organizations. If only they could go back to their beginnings." Looking at his own college years since their beginnings, Adams comes'up with two "gripes". 'First, the student who fails to live up to what is expected of him as a somewhat mature and respec- table individual. This is the stu- dent too scared to take on himself the responsibility of a mature young adult in society, the person who never rises above the level of the 'social student' who regards college as a good time and classes as a thing to which he must go. "Second, organizations that, be- cause of similarity in member in- terests and organization, attempt to fuse memberships together in one unified opinion and one train of thought - mass that from the outside could be identified as hav- ing only this one thing in com- mon."

Laugh Breaking This; in a way, is only charac- teristic of Adams' unpredictability. His usually solemn face may at any time break into a sudden laugh. Even his February resigna- tion came as a shock to all but a few knowing Council members. His medium height and husky, "tweedy" appearance, coupled with the briefcase he is seldom seen without, have spurred friends on to calling him John Foster. Other "friends", mostly those at the Sigma Alpha.

Energy Wasting Adams sees little value and wasted energy in some organiza- tions. "The only reason for join- ing together," he says of fraterni- ties, "is for work on rushing, lead- ershiptraining, or certain bene- fits to individuals." Instead, he visualizes "one all- encompassing student govern- ment, with a vice-president for fraternities and a committee for coordination of rushing." Looking again at his year as SGC president, Adams singled out. "the greatest accomplishment" as "no one incident, but SOC's plac- ing of the entire campus above any one interest group." He lists three personal accom- plishments of his work in, student government, whichbegan with election to Student Legislature in 1954: "A great broadening of my own experiences, the satisfaction of personal ambition, and the use of critical examples that could be carried over to the classroom." Class Attending The classroom, by the way, is just where Adams has been lately -finding out, as all former cam- pus leaders do, that it is fun to be a student. As a part of the graduate Bus. Ad. curriculum, he plans to work this summer and next fall, re- turning to school in February to complete work on his masters' de. gree. Adams also plans to take a few weeks out in August, when Lynn Laviolette, '59, and he propose to be married. The couple will live in Ann Arbor while each finishes school. "In honor of this occasion," Adams announced, "the National> Student Association is holding its annual Congress here this sum- mer." But, most of all, Adams says, "I've really enjoyed being a stu- dent - having time to investigate things, to get papers in on time, to visit the library, and to visit with faculty members." .
