Drury's Advise and Consent Criticized by Book Reviewer
"The purpose of the book 'Advise and Consent', by Allen Drury, is to entertain as well as to instruct people about the Congress and Washington society. Drury mixes fiction with reality." Gerhardt Zuther, instructor of English literature, said at the Book Forum yesterday in the Kansas Union.

PLANS FOR FLOOR STRATEGY and speeches have been decided this week along with the U.N. structural resolutions. Blocs have held strategy meetings in secret, some in the Kansas Union and others in organized houses. The final plans must remain unknown in order for the bloc to succeed with its strategy on the General Assembly floor.
Delegates from the blocs are bargaining with each other. Each bloc tries to get the vantage point over the other as they barter for support and votes concerning the resolutions and amendments to be discussed at the General Assembly meeting.

THE BOOK has no single focus and does not elaborate on a single hero. The frame of the book is the action of the Senate on the President's nomination of Robert A. Leffingwell as secretary of state, and finally, his defeat and the nomination of his opponent Orrin Knox fo secretary, Mr. Zuther said.
The second part of the book is essentially a study of political cases. Mr. Zuther said, "It's not only a book about the Senate but a book that makes the Senate a case.
"A good deal of 'Advise and Consent' is written in a melodramatic and cynical tone. It also has some mechanical faults such as overdone forecasting and slight exaggeration at dramatic points."
AS TO THE handling of the story, Mr. Zuther thinks that there is too much stress of "God, flag and hurrah" in this book. Other weaknesses of this book, in his opinion, are the description of the president as a "two bit liar" and a physically sick man and the fact that the most dramatic point of the book has to lead to the president's death.
Mr. Zuther indicated that Drury pays too much attention to craftsmanship.
"Spontaniety is destroyed." Mr. Zuther said, "when an event is forecasted, not once, but three or four times."

ation with CORE centered around the question of whether the Council needed the national's support and ideas. Baratz summarized the arguments against CORE.
"We present a unique position. This group is not based solely on racial discrimination, but on all civil rights problems over and above the one problem, although it is present in its most ridiculous form on our campus.
"THE GREATEST stress right now is Negro-white relations, but we have to be free to move in all directions. I do not believe we would be if we affiliated with CORE."
The Council did decide to write CORE and similar organizations for any available literature.
There was no new action concerning barber shop discrimination. Kennedy said that since a barber shop has agreed to service Negro students, this should be encouraged.
