Surrealism Aid to Knowledge,
Picard Asserts to Journal Club
Surrealism was described as a progress toward knowledge
of the human soul and mind by Rene L. Picard, assistant profes
sor of romantic languages, in a lecture at the first fall term meet
ing of the Journal Club Nov. 11.
Picard explained that one should imagine the atmosphere in
Paris during the years of World War I to be able to define sur
realism. The nervous tension brought on by the war created a
which helped to bring about a re
volt of the people against ac
cepted standards, and a desire to
express the unconscious thoughts
in people’s minds.
SURREALISTIC ART
In the field of surrealistic art,
the artist should create a work
which is completely independent in
itself—something which has never
been seen before.
In the field of literature, a poem
does not need to present any mean
ing, since its existence constitutes
its purpose. Two of the marks of
surrealism in poetry are the lack of
punctuation and the presence of
eliptical formulas which try to con
dense and give the real feeling of
the writer.
An author, following the new pro
cess of creative writing set forth
in the “Manifest of Surrealism”
by Andre Breton, founder of the
movement, tries to separate him
self from his surroundings while he
is writing.
“AUTOMATIC WRITING”
This “automatic writing” is the
author’s attempt to explore his own
mind in a subconscious state. He
can continue the study by compar
ing his writings with the answers
another person gives to certain
questions while in a state of “hyp
notic sleep.”
The one political idea of the Sur
realists is that a permanent revolu
tion is needed, and many of them
have become members of the Com
munist Party.
The eminent contemporary
painter Salvatore Dali, whom Pic
ard met. and talked to aboard ship
crossing the Atlantic last summer,
has stated that surrealism should
break up our souls as atomic fission
breaks up matter, so that the most,
subtle elements can be analyzed.

musical notes from . . .
WILLAMETTE MUSIC of
EUGENE
THIS is the initial bid for fame
or infamy, of Willamette music
of Eugene, with a news column
on records, radio and the men
and women in todays musical
scene. We sincerely hope that it
will be read and enjoyed by all
who read the Emerald, and we
invite your questions and your
criticisms.
NO doubt, by now, most of you
have heard, or at least heard of,
‘mule train’. If you plan on buy
ing this fine tune, hold off until
you hear woody herman and
nat cole rip it apart in hill-billy
style for capitol records. IT’s
just different enough to warrant
buying it even if you already
have someone else disking.
There are only two copies of this
in Oregon at the present time;
one in the hands of Capitol’s big
man in portland, and the other
in the hands of a very capable
local disk-jockey . . . on k. u. g,
n. every night except Sunday . . .
don porter. Tune in his show . . .
have fun listening at him and al
so get a prevue of this new capi
tol disk, you just might like both
the show and the disk.
WILLAMETTE music is not go
ing to sell this disk, simply be
cause it is unable to meet the
requirements set down by Capi
tol,—but I’m sure that any of
the other disk dispensaries in
town will do so and be very hap
py to serve you. such as grave’s:
thompson’s: appliance center:
radio lab (close to the universi
ty) and possibly corson’s and
Wilson’s, your best bet would
probably be to phone your
choice of the above and leave
your order, this way you’re sure
of getting the cut and at the
same time help the dealer find
how many he should order, once
again . . . the only place, until
release date, that this record of
'mule train’ can be heard, is on
the ‘don porter show’ every
night this week, on k. u. g. n.
IF any of you have questions on
records or recording artists, wil
liamette music of eugene will be
glad to try and answer them for
you. simply write ‘Willamette
music of eugene, p. o. box 161,
eugene, Oregon’, and if we don’t
know the answer, we’ll get it for
you.
YOU have probably all heard
'my gigi from the fiji isles’ by
chuck thomas, for cap . . . for
you collectors . . . it’s rumored
in top record circles . . . that
chuck thomas is actually . . .
woodrow Wilson herman. it’s
yours for what it’s worth.
IN closing . . .this space is cost
ing Willamette good money . . .
so mayhap i had better say
something about them, there’s a
lot i could say but i think this
will be enough for now . . . ‘wil
liamette music of eugene ‘deals
only in 45 and (L. P) 33 1/3 rpm
records . . . which have available
the finest of everything on rec
ords. we invite you to send in
your name and address for our
mailing list, which we endeavor
to make as interesting as pos
sible; also to read our ad else
where in this issue of the emer
ald. thanx . . .
