Burroughs explains writing tactics
After giving a lecture to a French literature class Friday morning, William Burroughs, famous author of the 1950s and '60s, signed autographs and answered students' questions.

William Burroughs, once a leader of the beatnik generation and now called the godfather of punk music, entered a KU classroom Friday morning like
Burroughs, recently elected into the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, spoke Friday to a literary class in Frashe Hall.
During the 1950s, Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac emerged as leaders of the beat generation and founded a conventional approach to fiction.
He has lived in Lawrence for more than a year.
The Union store has a better selection of vegetables than many stores in New York," he said, jokingly.
He also said he was considering teaching a course at the University of Kansas.
"I might be interested in teaching a creative reading course, he said. "I would be open to invitations."
Burroughs' novels feature characters who struggle for sexual, militaristic, journalistic and political freedoms.
"If I am remembered for anything I will be remembered for my characters." Burroughs said. "I am concerned with time, memory and tracing the lines of consciousness. My characters use dialogue that I have heard somewhere, at sometime or another."
BURROUGHS WAS BORN IN ST. Louis into a noteworthy American family. His grandfather invented the cylinder that made the modern phone possible, and his mother was a direct descendant of Robert E. Lee.
Burroughs said that he did not begin writing seriously until 1860. His first effort was a book about homosexuality, "which remained unpublished."
Students in the French and Italian class had been comparing Burroughs' writing techniques with those of Samuel Beckett, an Irish novelist and playwright who writes much of his plays, and Marcel Proust, a French novelist.
During the class on Friday, Bur
roughs talked about his cut-up and in- writing techniques and compared them with Beckett's and Proust's techniques.
THE CUT-UP TECHNIQUE INVOLLES taken a printed or written page, cutting it up, and then rearranging it to create unusual semantic juxtaposition, he said. The fold-in is done by folding a page lengthwise and then placing it over another page, lining up the lines to produce juxtaposition of word and image to further confound conventional language.
"Using the cut-up is basically applying the old painting technique called the montage to writing." Burroughs said.
"Life is a cut-up. Our consciousnesses are formed by random factors. When I am writing, I see a movie and I try to translate it into words. I hope that readers will see the same things that I see."
Burroughs recalled arguing with Beckett about the cut-up technique in a study.
style was more like Prost's than Beckett's because Beckett did not have Prost's concern for dialogue, human emotions and settings.
Sometimes Burroughs uses a pair of scissors and masking tape to splice together pieces of his novels, he said.
read, he writes in a vegetative
BURROUGHS SAID THAT HIS
His most recent novel, a Western called "Place of the Dead Roads," will be available this fall.
"I'm working on some short pieces now," he said. "I haven't started another novel yet."
"Junkie," his first novel, was published in 1953 under the pseudonym William Lee.
From 1955 to 1958, Burroughs worked on the manuscripts that would be the source of his major literary success：“Naked Lunch。”“The Soft Machine。”“The Ticket That Exploded.” and “The Nova Express.”
BURROUGHS SAID THAT WHEN he was writing he did not think about his readers.
In 1981, Burroughs gave a reading on the television show, "Saturday Night Live." He has also given several readings as an open act for avant-garde musicians, earning him the title, "The Godfather of Punk."
"I don't have any ideal readers," he said. "That's not where it is at."

WASHINGTON — Three suspected Soviet spies expelled from the United States last week are only a few of the 1,000 communist agents operating in this country, FBI Director William Webster said yesterday.
More spies in U.S., FBI director says
He said of the 3,000 Soviet-bio-
diplomats in the United States, 30 to 40 percent pursue U.S. secrets, especially military information and laser and computer technology. They are carefuly but not usually educated.
HE SAID IN THE CASES of three expelled Soviet agents announced by the FBI Thursday, the administration had to send a message to the Soviet Union.
"These are going on all the time."
said Webster in an appearance on CBS" "Face the Nation."
"There are foreign policy and national security considerations," Webster said. "There are other matters besides our own intelligence operations."
The FBI identified the expelled agents as a military attache from the Soviet Embassy, cache retrieving roils of former high-ranking officials from the base of tree in a Washington
suburb, an expert of American affaires who tried to obtain highly classified information from a congressional side officer at the Soviet U.N. mission
"In none of those cases were there any internal areas to protect," Webster said. "We could make a public disclosure."
- The Soviets have not been able to gain control of groups pushing for a coup.
Government nets $187 million for Chrysler aid
On other subjects, Webster said:
By United Press International
- Terrorists in this country have become more willing to "waste human lives" than in the past.
DETROIT — A decision by the federal government to save Chrysler Corp. from the brink of bankruptcy has paid off to the tune of $187.2 million and the tally is rising, it was reported yesterday.
In a copyright story, the Detroit Free Press said the U.S. government now had the right to buy huge blocks of Chrysler stock at bargain prices because it stuck by Chrysler when the future looked bleak.
A THIEF STOLE a moped, worth about $300, from a parking lot in the 1200 block of Emery last week-end, police said.
ON PAPER, THE GOVERNMENT already has made $187.2 million because of the steep climb in Chrysler stock.
In 1980 and 1981 the government bailed out Chrysler by giving it $1.5 billion in federal loan guarantees. In exchange, the government was given warrants for the option of buying 14.4 million shares of Chrysler stock at $13 per share.
A THEIF E SHOE STATION a walkie-talkie, worth $975, and a radio scanner, worth $279, from a car parked in the 1600 block of West 23rd Street, police said.
On the record
Chancellor Gene A. Budig last week visited several cities around the country, making a case for increased financial support for the University of Kansas and other universities.
Budig back from conference, alumni meetings
"I returned convinced that our problems, although very serious, are not as severe as those being experienced in many other states," he said in a prepared statement. "We all have serious problems."
THE AAU IS AN ORGANIZATION of leading American and Canadian universities that meets twice a year. The group includes many state universities.
Budig attended the American Association of Universities' spring meeting Sunday through Thursday in Washington, D.C., then visited KU alumni chapters in Minneapolis, Chicago and Milwaukee later in the week he returned to Lawrence Friday morning.

"It's an opportunity to explore problems that confront all institutions," he said. "We discuss problems and devise reasonable solutions. It is an important meeting because it gives you perspective."
Professors at Board of Regents schools will be getting a 4 percent salary increase Jan.1.
A poor economy and a drop in federal support are the two biggest concerns of the jobless.
"I am convinced that the time is right for higher education to regain its once-high position on the list of state and federal funding priorities," he said, adding that the programs and introduce the people. We are basic to the future."
Budig said he spoke with the president of the University of Iowa, who said that professors at his school are receiving a salary increase this year.
"our programs in medical research could be in serious trouble very soon," he said. "Society could become a real loser."
The program will encourage freshmen at the Med Center to do clinical and medical research with professors and then help them get fellowships and research jobs after they graduate, said Joseph Meek, vice chancellor for academic affairs at the College of Health Sciences.
The University of Kansas Medical Center will introduce an program next fall to try to attract more students into medical teaching, he said.
Meek said he hoped the program would raise the number of graduates going into academic medicine from 5 percent now to about 15 percent.
Book contest winners named
BUDIG SAID THAT HE ALSO addressed the group on the need to
increase support for university arts and humanities programs.
Federal money for those programs has been reduced, he said, but private firms could pick up the slack if they are approached in the right way.
On his visits to KU alumni chapters, Budig was joined by Clair Keizer, field director of the KU Alumni Association, and Bob Frederick, director of the Williams Educational Fund. About 75 to 80 alumni attended each meeting.
Budig he emphasized KU's need for scholarships and scientific equipment to the alumni, many of whom were large contributors to the Univer-
MOST OF THE ALUMNI WERE receptive to the pleas, Budig said.
Budig said he usually made about three visits a year to KU alumni groups outside the state. In February, he said, he visited chapters in Houston, Dallas and San Antonio, Texas.
