Lovejoy Convo cation by Susan Staples Monday evening a Doctor of Laws was conferred upon James Reston, Colby's 1974 Lovejoy Fellow, before a standing-room-only audience in Runnals Union. After the band played a processional for fa c- ulty members in full academic regalia , the college glee club, under the direction of Paul Machlin, opened the program with the first movement from Charles Ives' "Celestial Country.'" President Strider intro- duced notables in the audience including Governor James Longley, former recipients of the award , and present members of the convocation com mittee. James Reston, nationally known columnist f or Tbe New York Times,.winner of two Pulitzer Prizes ana three awards for excellence in overseas reporting, and the author of three books, began his address, "I thank you for asking me to speak here in the name of Elijah Parish Lovejoy. I don 't know about you, but I find this a starcling and even intimidating name. Elijah was a Bib lical prophet , who fought against the permissive weaknesses of human nature-sort of a Bill Buckley without television. I would not want this f lattery to get out of hand so I will use a modest text taken from the New Testament , Luke 19:1-3 , 'And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. And behold there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was chief among the publicans and he was rich. And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and he could not for the press.. .' " Reston continued , "Lovejoy was faithfu l to his name. He was a grea t helper to people in need and herald or reporter of a better age.

Back in the - fifties , Time and other reliable indices of national anxiety were much given to asking 'why can't Johnny read?" Now Johnny has entered college and he and his teachers are wondering why he has so much difficulty writing well. Both questions are part of a larger one: why isn't he serious about reading? Why isn't every undergraduate genuinely committed to the study of language and literature? I can only provide the sketch of an answer , a mere laundry list. . _ - ' 1), The ethos of trie young in an era dominated by the MEDIA and its bland consumer culture . This is too vague to be very useful, but it is something palpably felt by many English teachers. O'er the past . few years I have talked with a dozen or more college freshmen who have never read a real book-manuals, texts, digests, yes, but not a book with a beginning, middle, and end. Most of them felt perfectly comfortable about the omission. They said they didn't need books, 2) The way in which English is taught in the high schools-either drearily prescriptive or glib, hip, and mindless. 3) Narrow and largely behavioristic conceptions of relevance. The perfect Skinnerite, like the B 52 -pilot, does not need words, just elaborate , tech- nological carrots and sticks. We live in a world of "input" and "output" designed to manipulate be- havior, so we fail to apprehend language wliich en- lightens, persuades, or challenges us. 4) What's English good for? How 's it go ing to help me get a job? An altogether legitimate question , and one for which numerous studies provide an answer: English is the most flexible and useful preparation for professional schools, business, and government work. The trouble is thatNthe only people who read the studies teach English. . 5) The 'demise, at long last , of the N ew Criticism , narrow formalism, and other belle-lettristic concep- tions of literature and the study of literature , and the absence of a convincin g and agreed-upon replacement. What those ideas shared was a belief tha t -literature is not an act, or a human cry, or a process, but a thing, an icon, a structure ; and a structure that existed on its own terms, autonomous, apart fro m the world and by and large superior to it; furthermore the study of literature was a kind of priestly vocation , a privileged activity of an elite class," an elect who could only ta lk to each other arid only about the great dead. We think we know better now, but we're not wholly . sure about what to do instead. Teachers who. are in- terested in a full arid coherent context for the study of literature have to create their own- and the result is sometimes a philosophical shambles. It 's nice to be king of no-man's-land-but it 's also scii ry. v ! I 6) The nature of tlie activity. Close reading and clear writing arc hard things to do.

PIRG Benefit by Hal Bodden Applause as the indicator , the PIRG benefit show Saturday night at the Coffeehouse was a success. Hot d ogs, liquid sustenance, and four musical acts were the draw. Although not enough money was collected to bail PIRG out of its slowly deteriora- ting financial situation , there was some success in alerting students to the existence ot FIKG and its viability as an organization. *. Lochinvar, a group headed by R.P. Higgins and Vinny O'Hara, played the first set. By the time Henry Osborne, playing a haunting guitar and phase shifter, came on , the room was packed . Curt Gowdy, Jr., coming out of a long retirement, played a mellow third set, and The Jazz Quintet boogied the last set of the night. Last heard at the Variety show, the group has becom e much tighter , and has added a new dimension in the form of Al McKuen 's bluesy harmonica. PIRG plans to organize an outdoor concert-field day sometime after spring vacation . Any interested musicians or comedy acts are encouraged to call either Peter Boone at ext. 551 or Janet McLeod at ext. 496. PIRG would like to thank the musicians LOCHNIVAR and the guests who made the benefit a success.
