During the course of a day,
sometimes all of a sudden, you
discover that youthful dreams of a
career cannot come true because
of the demands of daily life.

When that happens. you may
resign yourself to looking after
others, putting personal goals on
the shelf.

But not Bernice Beers. who
steadfastly says she would do
“nothing of the kind.‘

“You always have a chance to
make your life helpful for the
people and exciting for yourself."
said Beers, who will be the first
recipient of UK‘s new Frances J.
Ockerman lntcmational Endow-
ment Award.

As a student, Beers had plans
to become a doctor. And she has
been working diligently at State
University of New York in Alba-
ny to obtain her goal. While
there. she avoided all the pleas-

ures of her age parties and
meetings included.

But who could escape her desti~
ny?

Once Beers‘ sister asked Beers
to accompany her on the piano at
an amateur concert in their hotne-
town. She agreed to give up her
textbooks for only a night and
met Howard.

“He played violin H it was one
of Chopin's studies. Our romance
was as beautiful and exciting as
the music through which we met
each other." Beers recalled.

“Then we got married and after
a while I discovered that my pro-
fessional plans could not be ful-
filled. All our life totally depend-
ed on my husband‘s work. We
moved from state to state, then
from country to country. At the
very beginning, I was in despair
and kind of lost inside. Then l re-
alized that I still had a chance to
serve the society and to express
myself ~ that I had just to look

New book examines WWI British fiction

Popular Fiction In England,
1914-1918

Harold Orel

University Press of Kentucky.
249 pp. (828)

By HUNTER HAYES
Arts Editor

“It is not easy. some eight dec-
ades after the fact. to measure pub-
lic attitudes towards the novel as a
literary genre at the beginning of
the twentieth century," begins Har-
old Orel in Popular F ictton In Eng-
land, 1914-1918.

Nonetheless, he manages to con-
vey a sense of the concerns of both
the public and the publishing indus-
try during World War 1. including
the reception various novels re-
ceived from the public and the
literary critics of the time.

Orel. an English professor at the
University of Kansas, divides his
book into four distinct sections: The
first part, “In the Beginning," pro-
vides a detailed history of the Brit-
ish publishing media and acts as a
prologue to the events that would
greatly alter world history; the sec-
ond part focuses on novels that “ig-
nored the war:" the third hints at the
tragedy across the Channel; and the
final section focuses on novels that
deal directly with the war.

The three chapters that comprise
the book‘s first section greatly dem-
onstrate the amount of research
Orel put into this book. He is able
to trace the practices of various

publishers, the expense of the books
(both the amount the consumer
would spend and that of the publish-
er to print them) and various trends
in publication such as the number of
books published each year and
which types.

The third chapter, “Authors and
the reviewing media.“ gives an en-
lightening account on the people re-

tion In England lies within the fol-
lowing chapters. In the remaining
sections. Orel dedicates nearly each
chapter to a single author and one
novel written during the years of
the Great War. Although each
chapter flows smoothly into the
next. the chapters also can be read
as individual essays on particular
works.

In the second section. “Novels
that ignored the war,“ Orel points
out that the most popular novels
during the war were works of es-
capism. Orel writes that while the
English novel was not unique as a
literary genre in ignoring or glam-
orizing the “harsh realities" of
World War I, “it would also be
false to the history of the times to
ignore the emphasis on countless
novels on the ‘delightfully humor-
ous‘ aspects of life in the new army
as if war were a continuing lark."

Orel names examples of such a
light interpretation of the war and
adds that there “were hundreds of
such books, prime examples of
light reading, even after the Battle
of the Somme."

The novels Orel examines as
ones that ignore the war are George
Moore‘s The Brook Kerith, pub-
lished in 1916; Norman Douglas’
South Wind (1917); Frank Swinner-
ton's Nocturne (1917); and Comp-
ton Mackenzie‘s The Early Life
and Adventures of Sylvia Scarlett
(1918).

“Novelists no less than any other
citizens (and doubtless more than
many of them) were well posted on
current events." Orel writes at the
beginning of the third section of the
book. “... But, as we have seen, fic-
tions oblivious to the existence of
current wartime conditions could
be written, and were, throughout
the war years, and indeed constitut-

ed a majority of the novels pub-
lished.

“Yet some novels could not avoid
refening to the fact that England
was engaged in a conflict that
seemed to worsen with each pass-
ing season."

Orel then provides short studies
of Mary Webb’s The Golden Ar-
row, published in 1915; Joseph
Conrad’s Victory (1915); Ford
Maddox Hueffer‘s (later, Ford) The
Good Soldier (1915); Alec
Waugh's The Loom of Youth
(1917); and Wyndham Lewis’ Torr
(1918).

In the final section of the book,
which looks at novels that focus on
the war, Orel provides chapters
about book publication during 1918
(chapter 13), reviews by the Times
Literary Supplement during the fi-
nal year of the war continuing until
shortly after the Armistice was
signed (chapter 14), in addition to
examinations of particular novels.

The books Orel examines as
works dealing with the war are John

Buchan's The Thirty-Nine Steps
(1915) and his Grecnmantle (1916);
H ..G Wells’ Mr. Drilling Sees It
Through (1916), Arnold Bennett's
The Pretty Lady (1918); and The
love of an Unknown Soldier:
Found in a dug-out (1918) by an
anonymous author who most likely
became one of Great Britain's more
than 900,000 deaths in the war.
Whether read as an entire account
of novels and publishing during the
dark years of World War 1 — or
used as a source of information for

individual texts — Orel‘s Popular

Fiction In England is an indispensa-
ble work for anyone interested in
British fiction of this era.

It simultaneously is a history of

the times and explimtion of some
of the works produced in them.

American movies find
inspiration in the South

By BOB THOMAS
Associated Press

LOS ANGELES -— From
“Uncle Tom's Cabin" to “Fried
Green Tomatoes," American mo-
vies have enjoyed a steady ro-
mance with the South.

Is there another part of the
country that has inspired more
movies? The West, perhaps. But
except for such rarities as “Danc—
es With Wolves" and “Silvera-
do." the Western has disappeared
as a film staple.

The latest example of the
South’s appeal is “Fried Green
Tomatoes." a two-generation
comedy-drama that has shown
amazing staying power since its
release in December. Kathy
Bates. who stars in the film with
Jessica Tandy, muses on why the
South has produced so many mo-
vies:

“If I had to say why I think it
is so. I think it has to do with the

fact that Southerners are such

great storytellers: Margaret
Mitchell, of course. Horton
Foote, Eudora Welty and on and
on and on, plus the fact that back
up in the Appalachian hills they
tell stories from generation to
generation.

“There's a picturesque quality
to the South. Some parts of it ap-
pear not to have forgotten the
Civil War. I went home last sum-
mer to Memphis. my hometown.
There‘s a different pace there.
Seeing the Mississippi brought a
tear to my eye. I like that place."

Although born in London,
Tandy has created three memora-
ble Southern ladies. She was the
original Blanche DuBois oppo-
site Marlon Brando in the Broad-
way version of A Streetcar
Named Desire and won a Tony
award for her performance. Two
years ago she won the Academy
Award as best actress for her role
as the aging matron in “Driving
Miss Daisy."

“Those roles keep coming my
way. and I'm glad they do," she
said. “They were all from com-
pletely different backgrounds.
Blanche was an entirely different
character from Miss Daisy, for
instance, also of a different time.

“Miss Daisy comes from a

completely different background
from Ninny (‘Fried Green Torna-
toes '). Ninny comes from a tiny
little place called Whistle Stop;
the very name lets you know that
it is a very small community
Miss Daisy came from Atlanta
and was in very different circum-
stances. They both are quite feis-
ty ladies, very much alive and in-
terested in life.

“Ninny I particularly loved be-
cause she has really nothing, but
is such a positive character.
She‘s an entertainer, a storytell-
er. she‘s not content to sit back
and be in a rocking chair."

Denzel Washington stars in
another current movre about the
South. “Mississippi Masala,"
which concerns the bigotry in-
volved when a black American
and an eastern Indian woman fall
in love.

His off-the-cuff response to
the large number of Southern
movies: “lt' s cheaper to shoot
there," referring to the fact that
producers can cut costs by film-
ing in states with right-to-work
laws.

Washington added. “Maybe
we’ re still reflecting on what
we ve done. The South is still a
laboratory (for race relations)."

Others have observed that the
South was on the losing side of
the nation' 5 greatest drama, the
Civil War, and the tragedy of
that great conflict is more dra-
matic for the vanquished. Also
the matter of white- black rela-
tionships, another great national
drama, has continued from colo-
nial times to the present day.

In “Mississippi Masala.“ the
color-caste system of Indian im-
migrants threatens two lovers.

Much of “The Prince of Tides"
is set on the South Carolina coast
and deals with the Southern
gothic theme of a dysfunctional
family “Cape Fear" also is set in
North Carolina and paints a hor-
rific picture of a psychotic poor
white Southerner.

New Orleans has been a favor-
ite location for filmmakers. with
such films as “A Streetcar
Names Desire." “A Walk on the
Wild Side," “Pretty Baby.”
“Blaze,“ “The Big Easy" and
“."JFK

UNLV takes final shot at playing in NCAA

By TIM DAHLBERG
Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — Attorneys for
UNLV' s basketball team headed to
court yesterday in a last ditch at-
tempt to get the seventh-ranked
Runnin' Rebels in the NCAA tour-
nament

A state judge set a late afternoon
hearing on a request by the players
for a preliminary injunction that
would force the NCAA's toruna-
ment selection committee to consid-
er a UNLV bid.

Attorneys for the players also
want District Judge Donald Mosley

to order UNLV [resident Robert
Maxson to accept a bid if tendered.
Maxson said earlier that the univer-
sity should stand behind its earlier
dealwiththeNCAAtositoutthe
tournament.

Although federal courts have pre-
viously upheld the NCAA's right to
discipline its members, attorney
Steve Stein said he would argue
that the NCAA has abused its pow-
er by unfairly targeting the UNLV
program over the past 15 years.

“I feel very good right now."
Stein said. “I‘ve told the kids not to
worry about it, let the lawyers do
their thing and just worry about

keeping in shape."

Mosley issued a temporary re-
straining order after the players
filed suit Friday. allowing the team
to keep practicing pending the hear-
ing on the preliminary injunction.

Most of the players were expect-
ed to be in the courtroom for the
hearing.

The hearing comes four days be-
fore the NCAA selection committee
announces its choices for the 64-
team postseason tournament.

Should the UNLV team be suc-
cessful in court, it would have to be
considered as an atolarge team since
it is barred from this week‘s Big

West torunament, which determines
the conference's automatic selec-
tion.

But NCAA attorney Patricia
Leen said there was little chance
that the court would we in favor of
the players, saying the issue of
players' rights is not new and that
the previous rulings prove college
athletes don't have constitutional
rights to play in the postseason.

"They basically don’t have a rea—
sonable probability of success
based on the merits of their arse,"
Leen said.

Former Cy Young winner looking good

By JOHN NADEL
Associated Press

VERO BEACH, Fla. —— A pre-
surgical Orel? Could it be? Another
Cy Young Award? Maybe so.

“He feels like it's normal right
now," Dr. Frank lobe said of Orel
Hershiser’s right shoulder, on
which Jobe performed reconstruc-
tive surgery in April 1990. “I think
you can say that's true. He looks
awfully good. He doesn’t get sore.
I’m very happy with him."

Four years ago, Hershiser had his
best season — 23-8 with a 2.26
ERA, 15 complete games and eight

Associated Prose

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Two
rings stolen from Tennessee wom-
en’s basketball coach Pat Summitt's
hotel room at the Southeastern Con-
ference tournament have been
found at a pawn shop in Albany,
Ga Other jewelry, including a na-
tional championship ring, still is
missing.

Another national championship
ring and Summitt‘s wedding ring
were recovered.

The Lady Vols won their third

shutouts. He finished the season
with a record 59 consecutive score-
less innings, then was narned MVP
in the National League playoffs and
World Series. He also won the Cy

Super Tuesday makes a confusing race more clear

By JOE BRAUN
Editorial Editor

Super Tuesday is over, and presi-
dential hopefuls have packed up
their bags and moved on to the Mid-
west to start the campaign process
all over again.

But when candidates land in
Michigan and Illinois, the country
will look at them differently. Super
Tuesday has helped focus the eyes
of the American people on two
clear-cut candidates — President
~Bush and Arkansas Gov. Bill Clin-
ton.

Until now, the race was being

performed in a theater with five
stages. But the spotlight has shift-
ed. People now can begin truly ana-
lyzing Clinton and Bush and ulti-
mately will determine who will
best serve the American people as
the next president.

It would appear that former US.
senator and cancer-survivor Paul
Tsongas will remain just that Like
the drawn-out syllables that ema-
nate from his mouth, his campaign
also is quickly losing momentum
and popularity among the Ameri-
can people.

Tsongas needed Super Tuesday
to show that his popularity extend-

ed further than the East Coast, but
that didn't happen.

Clinton seems appealing to a di-
verse group of people. In Southern
primaries. he captured a two-thirds
majority of all people over age 60.
He also obtained three-fourths votes
from Southern blacks.

Clinton stole the Florida vote — a
pivotal victory -— from Tsongas by
convincing Florida voters that Tson-
gas would tamper with their social-
security benefits. Obviously, since
Florida is composed of a large num-
ber of retirees, this issue affected
the vote. Tsongas said Tuesday that
Clinton's allegations were not true.

 

ANALYSIS

In response to Clinton‘s cam-
paigning, Tsongas told him,
“You’re not going to pander your
way into the White House."

If Tsongas could not convince
Florida voters that Clinton‘s claims
about their benefits were false, they
had no choice but to believe Clinton
and vote for him.

Pat Buchanan also was a loser in
Super Tuesday —— or was he? Bu-
chanan said winning isn’t every-
thing. He said his goal is to “send a
message to the president.” His mes-

sage was delivered to Bush in New
Hampshire, but was it really heard?
The nomination won‘t be captured
by him. However, he said he has ac-
complished what he set out to do —
jolt the Bush campaign and bring
Bush back to the Republican Party.

“He (Bush) is winning votes, but
we have been winning the beans of
the American people, and we’re go-
ing to continue to do so," Buchanan
said.

Bush once again has begun to fol-
low mainstream Republicans, but
Buchanan's message has not sunk
in yet. This can be seen in Bush's
nonchalant campaigning and failure

to
