Black Says 'Tristram Shandy'
Evokes Laughter, Brotherhood
•In ’Tristram Shandy' Laurence
g-erne evokes laughter, good feel
ing, and a sense of brotherhood,
frank O. Black, professor of Eng
lish. said in discussing the book at
I ZO p.m. Thursday in'the Brows
ing Room in the Student Union.
tn defining the book. Black ex
p lined that it is a history of what
passes in a man's mind. The book,
h, wever. follows the psychological
only as far as necessary to attain a
! jesting atmosphere, the English
i professor continued.
Holds Readers Interest
The variegated wit from page to
.page tends to hold the reader's in
terest. Black stated. Sterne would
•■rather arouse a laugh than discredit
a person or an institution of the
day. the lecturer explained.
rn relation to the institutions of
education. Sterne leads one to be
lieve that Tristram is capable of
surviving any of his elders. It was
his father's inordinate desire to
make Tristram an intellectual geni
us.
Impressionistic Method
Sterne's impressionistic method
is shown by the scene where Bobby.
Tristram's brother, dies. Uncle
Toby merely comments that his
nephew has gone away, amt the de
ceased boy's father says that he is
glad the boy is rid of his suffering.
This method of the impressionistic,
to show no outward grief at the loss
of a loved one. has a double pur
pose. This approach registers as
important certain incidents, while
detracting from the importance of
others. Black said.
Uncle Toby and Tristram express
their views on the military situa
tions of the day very effectively.
Uncle Toby asks if anyone had
more tears for Hector, or if any
one's heart beat more rapidly at the
sound of war drums. Tristram says
that a soldier who has no straw to
sleep on at night, and who has been
subjected to the cold, will pray as
sincerely as a preacher, but without
the hypocrisy of the clergyman.
Dominant Influences
The two dominant influences in
the Story are the author's method
of evoking a feeling for the sheer
delight of feeling, and the uses of
sentimental situations for the
amusement of the readers, the Eng
lish professor continued.
Although the book does not al
ways follow chronological order,
and It Is concerned with opinions
rather than facts, "Tristram Shan
dy” does an excellent job of show
ing the value of the trivial life in
relation to character. Black con
cluded.

Dorm Students
Ask Quantity,
QualityinFood
The response to the question
"What do you think of the food
nerved in the dorms?" gave thr
general opinion that the food could
be improved both in quantity and
quality.
Ken Ireland junior from Stlt
*ei Hall "I don't think they pre
pare the food as well as they might
and they aren't as careful in mix
ing foods as they could he. They
get the darndest mixtures, like
rlai is in bean soup. Their coffee
is 1 rrible; It tastes burnt all the
time. Aside from this. 1 have noth
ing pertinent to say."
Dirk Ciimpstnn freshman from
McChesney Hull "There isn't any
thing wrong with the food there
just isn't enough of it. There have
been certain instances when the
food has been pretty bad but these
times seem to run in streaks.
Don Lynch sophomore from
Omega Hall "Here at Straub it's
pretty good except for the break
fasts lunches and dinners! The
quality isn't bad but the quantity
could be increased. I've never eat
en at the Vet's Dorms so I don't
know about over there.”
Barbara Manley freshman from
Hendricks Hall "On the whole 1
like the food. However, it seems
] to me it is rather expensive for the
quality. There are no complaints:
| in particular except that we aren't
I served milk on days when dinner
j is served other than cafeteria j
i sly,e”
Betty Brown freshman from
Susan Campbell Hall "Well, if
iny mother served it I'd get up and
leave the table. On the whole,
though, it is well balanced nutri
tionally."
Kenneth Alilquist junior from
McChesney Hall "Well, I think
the Kmerald article did a pretty
good job. The food could be a lot
better. Some of the lunches are i
pretty unappealing especially the !
salads. I'd say part Of the food is
good and part is bad. Lunch is the j
poorest meal."
Karl Fowler freshman from :
Met rick Hall—"I don't think it's
too bad for the money we pay.
They could improve on breakfast
but the other meals are all right."
Donna Claire Itingle freshman
from Carson Hall "Well, the focal
in Carson is pretty good but con-1
sidering how many they have to;
cook for they naturally couldn't :
cook as if it were for 30 people or ,
less."
