New Latin Culture Lecture Topic
By SANDY STONE Kansan Staff Writer
John A. Brushwood, a distinguished KU professor of Latin-American literature, gave the second of a series of eight lectures in 1964 at Lecture Series, at 8 p.m. Tuesday, in Woodruff Auditorium. The topic of his lecture was Latins and Their New Novels."
FOR MANY YEARS the people of the Latin-American countries had been looking outside their own culture for new trends and they were gradually becoming more like the United States every day.
Brushwood pointed out that we know pitifully little about Latin writing, and the authors are published on the subject generally tell us only what we know.
Because of this trend, Brush-
wood asked, "Is there anything
that can be seen at this time that
is really new?"
1-There is a government in Cuba now that is new to the Latin American scene.
Brushwood answered the question by using the following examples:
2-Pera is now under a reformist military regime and the new government is bringing out needed reforms.
3-MIK—a group of young radical activists who are not claimed by either the right or the side left of the political spectrum. The communist party because it opposes the order, does not claim them either.
THE "BASIC point that I want to make," said Brushwood, "is that things are changing. There is a changing cultural outlook."
Brushwood said that the direction of change is in the outlook of the colonialist syndrome that is disappearing. The
colonialist syndrome is the trend of the Latin-American people to celebrate and celebrate cultures. Because of the change in ordinary life, the disappearance Brushwood said. This includes the expectation of losing and the acceptance of it.
"The best definition of the new Latin-American novel is that it has got riden to the colonialist attitude," said Brushwood.
THE BOOM of the Latin-
American novel began in 1964. It was then that criticism of the novel was approved, said Brushwood.
Brushwood pointed out that the increase of Latin-American novels was only one aspect of the new novel.
"The new novel dates from the 1940s" and has three characteristics," said Brushwood.
1-There was a new way of looking at the national circumstances of the Latin-American countries.
2-There was a new willingness for the authors to learn from a brushwood that said this influence influenced by other authors was creating many writers to be the "Latin-American Joyce."
TO SHOW THE irony of this comparison, Brushwood said, "A Latin-American Joyce makes me sense as an Irish Fidel Castro."
3-Innovation—This reduced the correlation of authors to a membership of the larger tradition.
"Iinnovation has lead to the writers privilege of inventing rather than reproducing," said Brushwood.
the change in the sequence of events, and the putting of them into an order that makes the reality of the subject more immediate. The removal of the line between life and death so that the character can talk from both sides of the line, and the allowance for the flow. This is in contrast to the real present, past and future.
Brushwood also spoke of the techniques that the authors of the new novels are using. These are: The fragmentation of language.
In reference to the changes that are taking place in the new novels, Brushwood said that he felt that this could be happening
to the total Latin-American culture.
BRUSHWOOD HAS published five books in the Latin-American novel field and will do research in South America next year to complete a book on Spanish fiction during the 20th century.
Brushwood received his Ph.D. at Columbia University, d. after three degrees from Randolph-Milligan University of Virginia. Before coming to KU, he was professor at the University of Missouri.
WSU Panel Needs Time
WICHTA, Kan. (UPI)—the chairman of the federal panel opening a hearing today into the college's request that University chartered plane said the board has had only 10 days to complete its work and second hearing may be called.
A retired Adm. Louis M. Thayer, a member of the National Airlines Association (NTSB) and chairman of the inquiry board, said Tuesday that Ms. Thayer might have to have a second session. He indicated
have had enough time for preparation". The parties he referred to, the officers of the company, owner of the plants Golden Eagle Aviation Co., which supplied the crew. Wichita State University's Aviation Administration (FAA).
He said the hearing on the Wichita State campus was being called a "notice" because of "public interest" in an *adversarial interest* in a crash in the Colorado Rockies which took 30 lives, including those of 13 players.
"It is just quite possible we may not have all the information I was going to give here," Thayer said. He added that the "parties are concerned with how much they are concerned."
Professor Predicts More Race Tension
By RITA HAUGH
Kangan Staff Writer
There is no hope for major change in race relations within this generation, David Katzman, assistant professor of history and finalist for the HOPE award, told night at the Chi Omega house.
There can be no change because people in the college world are not changing than younger children, he said. There presently exists a generation gap with those who were older and they are the potential for the future.
Katzman was one of four speakers who were invited by the Inter-Fraternity Inter-Praternia Council to speak at sororities and fraternities
"Black-White Relations in the Community" was his topic. His area of specialization is Afro-American and urban history.
"My speciality is explaining how we got here, not how we get out," he said.
Katzman spoke briefly on his impressions of Lawrence and then answered questions from the audience.
He gave a synopsis of the situation in Lawrence as he saw it come coming here last fall. When he began meeting people in the community last fall for the second time, he went going to blow up, he said.
Because Lawrence, until last year's race problems, had a lack of violence, it was considered model for race relations, he said.
Now that people have become awakened to the problems, there is fear and anxiety, he said.
Much of the problem in Lawrence stems from a lack of leadership. A city commission of five commissioners, elected at large falls into the minority category.
"This is generally a sign that a suitable minority group in the country is represented, he said. "If the voting were done by wards, there would be no change."
As long as there is not a black representative, he said, the blacks can't officially voice their problems.
Katznan said he believed that many things the BSU fought for were not true, and that parents were more concerned with the "bread and butter"
He predicted that things would "get tougher" as black parents become more active and take over leadership from the BSU. Much of the interest of the black students on the school system, he said. The greater the education a black has, the more discrimination he
"Violence brings about additional repression and prevents change than helping it," he said.
He emphasized that violence and non-violence were not the only choices.
He termed the Black Panthers a group that performed social deeds against the government much like that of Robb Hood.
The black separatist movement is similar to the white separatist group in the late 1980s and early century he said. These groups felt they needed a bond to give each other support to establish social organization.
It wasn't until the 1980's that the blacks saw they should imitate the ethnic groups to have a more secure base, he said.
The system will change if we examine ourselves and make changes in large institutions. He emphasized the need for communities so that communities could have more power over their institutions.
Katzman, who admitted that he was a pacificist, said he thought the energy exerted for violence could be used for non-violence.
encounters. The gap between black and white college graduates is much greater than in high school dropouts, he said.
"Instead of starting over in the place, place, place," he said. We were 30 years ago. We shouldn't start from scratch every time, he said.
Katzman cited the 1850s as an authoritative consensus in American history, when he built many Americans. The kind of things happening in 1970 are often the same in modern society, he said, because Americans have lived with Katzman.
"We are making progress in spite of ourselves," he said. More blacks are in the middle class than ever before, he said.
In Lawrence, the students are more condemned than the blacks, he said, because it is less likely to be overtly anti-black today.
The problem with American evangelicals is that they are in the credo of Protestantism and are true Calvinists, believing that anyone who worked hard could have been saved.
Blacks tend to hate themselves
Blacks tend to hate themselves
this hate is internalized, he said.
Since the United States is 80 per
white this, in inscapable, he said.

The buckled-up boot that really starts making it the moment the cleats come off. And, no wonder. It boasts plenty of style for dress; enough swagger for sportswear. Try a pair soon.
