Arnold Stresses Critical Evaluation
By Warre n Obluck
meed for critical evaluation by contemporary novelists was stressed yesterday «nester s fourth Philosophy Forum. Dr. Aerol Arnold, associate professor of Eng-d that writers must be willing to devote effort toward making their books itructurally if they wish to be truly successful.
old, In a lecture on "Structure and Meaning in Fiction,” maintained that no real people exist in literature.
They only seem real, he said, if the author is able to create a strong enough illusion.
Unless a writer is willing to put in the intellectual work necessary to reshape his manuscript until this illusion exists, it cannot he artistically acceptable, Arnold said.	I
Proust and James Joyce are among the most successful modernists, Arnold said. "Both have written themselves through.
Most writers would have been satisfied with the early drafts of their finest works. But both sought to reveal in the finished work the meaning they found it must have.

the Artist as a Young Man’ were not determined because things | happened thus and so," he said. “They item Instead from the j meaning of the experience as it is.’’
More Than Money Arnold suggested that the effort necessary to write a great novel is too great for authors interested primarily in money. "Writers who live from age to age are those from whom other writers learn,” lie said.
“Since most people read what's just been published, the writer who produces solely for the public can't hope to live,” he said.
The novelist has a great responsibility to explore his main theme and mood completely, according to Arnold. He must direct his reader's attention to them at all times and control their emotional reactions. But he must never interfere.
No Interruptions “An author misuses the novel form when he diverts attention from the character and scene,” Arnold said. “He must create an undisturbed illusion of great, dramatic intensity. When he interrupts with generalizations of | his own, he leads his readers away from the story.”
Arnold cited F. Scott Fitzgerald's “The Rich Boy" as a poorly constructed novel. “Both the title and the foreward of the book make it clear that a rich boy is different from you and me,” Arnold said-"But after reading the book it becomes evident that the scenes described and the story told do not correspond with the original idea,” he said.	a
Fitzgerald creates problems which he answers only superficially or not at all. Arnold feels As a result, the story is not believeable and fails.

As an advertising artist, Bass did all of the promotional art for “Mari'With a Golden Arm," "Marty,” “The Seven Year Itch,” and “Carmen Jones."
Bass, who won five gold medals at the last advertisine show at. the county Museum, will discuss visual aids in communication between scientists, between scientist and student, and between scientist and the lawman.
He got the idea of communicating scientific ideas through art from his wife who is an SC graduate student in chemistry.
Need Stressed Dr. Paul Saltman, Sigma XI program director, explained the need for more visual aids.
“Science should be made more interesting,” said Saltman.
"Scientific meetings and classes are often the most boring, deadly, non-communicative sessions imaginable. But science and all courses can be made exciting by presenting ideas visually,” he said He added that the coming field in education is in the use of visual aids. ___________________

! who will challenge the eligibility j of two voting and one non-vot-Ing senators.
Owsowifr »aid yesterday that he feels thes* three senator« are not eligible because they did not make the required 2.5 (or. B minus! grads average last semester or because they are not rarr.#hg the required eight units this semester.
Owsowitr added that "tliere is a possibility of error" in the grades the three received but that they would have to prove their innocence to prevent their being dropped.
Veep Substitutes iVesident McMahon said yes-, terday that if the three «re dropped, their places on the Senate would be filled by the vice-presidents of the organizations they represented.
The ASSC senators will also consider whether the posts of ASSC vice-president, secretary, and University Recreation Association chairman are to be restricted to a particular sex.
Jeff England, AMS secretary-treasurer, will introduce an amendment for the ASSC bylaw* which would not restrict the post of URA chairman to males; and Bob Gerst, AMS president, will ask the senators to amend the ASSC constitution to delete the word “female" from the qualifications for ASSC vice-president and secretary.
Amendments Postponed These amendments were introduced at the last Senate meeting,’ Feb. 29, but had to be postponed two weeks before they could be debated.
Also on tonight's agenda are reports from various committee chairmen and other constitutional amendments.
Dick McAdoo, Trojan Chest Chairman, will tell the senators how much, percentage-wise, each charity should get from the Trojan Chest drive.
President McMahon said that he hopes Troy Camp will get a substantial amount as its “kitty" is "bone dry."
