WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY i IN ST LOUIS Published for the Washington University Community Property of ft**! u * rsit * NOV 1 ^ '80 Medical Ubrary November 13,1980 ARCfrVES W.U Sartre's Impact on Art, Society Honored During WU Colloquium Philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre whose revolutionary ideas and all-pervasive influence exceeded academia and fired the imagination of millions will be honored at WU next week. Just as his impact transcended rigid, artificial boundaries, so will the colloquium, Nov. 19-22, on this campus. Entitled "The Legacy of Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980)," it is an interdisciplinary tribute to his memory by the WU departments of history, philosophy and Romance languages. Regarded as one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century, Sartre, who died on April 15, 1980, will be the subject of one of the most comprehensive symposia held in this country or abroad to examine his views on the broad range of humanistic problems to which he devoted his life. At this assembly, WU scholars and students will join three visiting academicians to present and debate Sartre's ideas. Organized by seven WU humanists, all of whom have written on Sartre, the program is under the direction of professors Gerald N. Izenberg, a historian trained in psychoanalysis, and Michel Rybalka, a specialist in contemporary French literature. Rybalka is coeditor with Michel Contat of the classic, two-volume bibliography, The Writings of Jean-Paul Sartre. Free and open to the public, this unusual colloquium is funded by the Missouri Committee for the Humanities, Inc., the state-based branch of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). Through discussion, films, an exhibit and a play (No Exit, one of Sartre's most famous contributions to the theatre), this symposium will explore Sartre's role as a developer of existentialism, whose main doctrine, as a St. Louis Post-Dispatch editorial eulogizing his passing observed "is that existence precedes essence." Sartre wrote in Being and Nothingness, "Man can will nothing unless he has understood that he must count on no one but himself; that he is alone... in the midst of his infinite responsibilities, without help... with no other destiny than the one he forges for himself on this earth." This view, as the planners of this colloquium have noted, "touched on the most personal and central concerns of individual life aloneness and anxiety, freedom, choice and responsibility." It also accounts, they have stated, "for Sartre's many-sidedness. He was a brilliant creative writer who had a gift for dramatizing complex ideas in provocative and accessible novels, short stories and plays, work which earned him the Nobel Prize for literature... His characteristic refusal of that prize illustrates yet another dimension of his life the political commitment and activism which he believed to be necessary to a full engagement with the world." The New York Times, in a cogent commentary on his life, credited his existentialism with "such diverse manifestations as the anti-novel and the anti-hero, the New Wave cinema and the notion of man's anguished consciousness. Also, implicit in it, was a call to action, in which man could vindicate his freedom and assume some control of his destiny." Sartre was one of France's reigning intellectuals, but his social consciousness moved the hearts of the so-called "comcontinued on p. 3 A seedy shorefront bar is the setting for Williams's Small Craft Warnings, the next production of the Performing Arts Area. Above, the shiftless Bill (Nicholes Ghnouly) woos Violet (Debi Sinclair), a frail streetwalker, into a commitment of food and shelter. Social Outcasts Find Rough Seas In Williams's Small Craft Warnings A production of the rarely performed Small Craft Warnings, one of Tennessee Williams's later, experimental plays, will be presented by the WU Performing Arts Area (PAA) at 8 p.m. Nov. 14-15 and 21-22 in Edison Theatre. (See Calendar, page 4, for ticket information.) Is the PAA production a "first" for St. Louis, where the playwright lived for several years and briefly attended WU? A telephone call to the New York office of the Dramatists Play Services, holders of the play's copyright, revealed that Small Craft Warnings, which opened off-broadway in 1972, has also been staged on the West Coast and in London. "You can say it's seldom been shown in the Midwest," said one of the firm's representatives, who begged off locating more specific information. Small Craft Warnings is, admittedly, a difficult work, said director Herbert E. Metz, WU associate professor of drama. Fragmented with nine soliloquies, and without the usual storyline, the play is "more like a mass or requiem than an opera," he remarked. The play's religious symbolism is elusive. More striking is the seaminess of the world that Williams portrays. "I'm expecting an exodus by some theatregoers at intermission," said the director with a smile, "but then people have walked out on great plays like Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" The play's characters are some of society's outcasts who frequent a seedy, shorefront bar, seeking an outlet for their continued on p. 2
Stix House: Vibrant with Activity, Haven for International Students When headlines scream of revolution, military conflict and political strife abroad, the WU international community remains unperturbed, observed William S. Stone, director of the WU International Office. "Instead of seeing hostility among foreign students, I find that they're talking; there's dialogue," Stone said. "That's what makes WU such a special place for international students." Stone believes this congeniality is more apparent at WU than at other college campuses. His two years as an international advisor at WU, and his work in international education at Boston, Harvard, Tulane and Loyola universities make his remarks particularly insightful. "The type of international student selected by WU accounts for this goodwill," Stone noted. "They have to demonstrate great academic strengths. They're thinkers, not radicals." Stone predicts an increase in international students on American college campuses. The number of international students enrolled at WU increased from 490 in 1979-80 to 552 this year. "Demographic projections point to a decrease nationally of enrollment by American students," Stone said. "Ideally, qualified international students will take up the slack." Stone said that Stix House, 6470 Forsyth Blvd., the scene of international activity on campus, is ready for this predicted increase. "Stix House can accommodate more than the 12,000 people who used the house last year," he said. Janet Mendelson and William S. Stone review the International Office budget. Stone directs the diverse International Office functions, including student recruitment and admissions, advising visa applicants, and supervision of the physical facilities of Stix House. His office also helps with the many intricacies of travel abroad by Americans. Eight WU year-abroad programs are administered by Stone's staff. Applications for Fulbright- Hayes, Marshall, Rhodes and other traveling scholarships, the Sussex, England, exchange program, and the Taiwan WU Alumni Scholarship are processed here. Information on work, travel and study abroad is available to the entire campus. When emergencies arise, Stone often finds himself in the role of a crisis counselor. He refuses to be regarded as a father figure by students, although in the past, he has attended weddings, memorial services and paid hospital visits. "I have many warm and compassionate people working for me," he said.. "Generally, Janet, Diane, Abbie or Cathy play emotionally supportive roles for students." Greeting Stix House newcomers with a warm smile and a lively curiosity for every new face is Janet Mendelson, administrative secretary, who has been working for the International Office since 1960. M. Diane Hasty, international student advisor, has been with the International Office since 1976. Abigail H. Tom, overseas program advisor and coordinator of English as a second language programs, has been working full time here since 1973. The newest member of the Stix administration is Catherine C. Steiner, overseas admissions coordinator, who joined the staff this fall. Kotler Opens Lecture Series On Marketing Philip Kotler, who was chosen as the "Leader in Marketing Thought" by the academic members of the American Marketing Association in a 1975 survey, will be the featured speaker at a special event planned by the marketing faculty at WU's School of Business. Kotler will speak on "Creating a Market-Oriented Organization for the 1980s," at a 6:45 p.m. dinner on Monday, Nov. 17, in the Whittemore House. His address is the first in an annual series of informal lectures on "Strategic Issues on Marketing" by some of the country's leading practitioners and academics in marketing. It is supported by a grant from the Kellwood Co. of St. Louis. The noted marketing authority will also address students at 1:30 p.m. that day in the Moot Courtroom of Mudd Hall. He will speak on "Marketing Warfare: Moving from the Boardroom to the War Room." Kotler, Harold T. Martin Professor of Marketing at the Philip Kotler J. L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management, Northwestern University, has had significant impact on marketing management through his writings, lectures and employment as a consultant. He has pioneered in the introduction of marketing concepts applicable to nonprofit organizations, and is the author of the only book on this subject, Marketing for Nonprofit Organizations. Another of his books, Marketing Management, is the most widely used marketing text in MBA programs around the country. WamingS continuedfrom p. 1 dreams in drink. Besides the bar's good-natured proprietor (played by Philip Setnik), there is a rowdy beautician (Jessica Maria Goldstein), who supports a loafer (Nicholes Ghnouly) skilled in exploiting women, a frail streetwalker (Debi Sinclair), a short-order cook (Paul Larson), two homosexuals (Scott J. Scudder and Jim Doherty), and an unlicensed doctor who still practices medicine between brandies (Trip Bates, a WU alumnus). Todd Daniels and Danny Matalon portray a cop and a watchman. Before rehearsals began, Metz met at length with his cast to discuss the work's complexities. Together they traced its motifs of religiosity which, Metz said, theatregoers may perceive "subliminally, consciously or not at all. Audiences come in various stages of sophistication," he added. They examined Williams's themes loneliness, aging, death and beauty and his statement, a lament for mankind's lost ability to feel surprise or a sense of wonder. To immerse his actors in their roles, the director asked them to predict how Williams's "vulnerable human vessels" would fare beyond the final curtain of the play. The consensus? For most, rough waters or even shipwreck lay ahead. Only one of the characters might find safe passage. 'Networks' for Women in Academia is Program Topic The Women's Program Council of the Higher Education Center will sponsor a three-hour program on "Networking for Women in Higher Education", at 4:30 p.m. in the Sesquicentennial Room, Busch Student Center, St. Louis University.

The cost is $4.75 per person. For reservations, call Mary Bruemmer, dean of student affairs at St. Louis University, 658-2805, by Nov. 14.
