One of the book reviews
concerns two volumes entitled
'Introduction to the Mathe
matical Theory of Control
Processes." Reviewer John
Casti says the books “repre
sent an expository tour-de
force unlikely to be seen again
in control theory literature "
Casti calls the books "a major
achievement as well as road
maps for future research
The second review, by
T.Y Poon of the California
Institute ot Technology, con
cerns a book by Bellman and
an associate entitled “An
Introduction to Invariant Im
bedding." Poon said he is
"impressed with the clarity of
exposition" and the “many
outstanding features" of the
book, whibh he said is
"interesting from cover to
cover."
Bellman has written 35 books
and has nearly 600 publications
to his credit.

"Work on this project began
about 10 years ago and started
with two research methods,"
said Algeo "Scholars across
the country began an intensive
reading program which in
cluded reading works of fiction
and non-fiction collected from
aeross the country Throughout
their reading, they were
looking for words, phrases and
grammar usages that were
non-standard
"The other method involved
sending out graduate students
to specific communities, in
cluding several in (he South, to
interview persons of represen
tative dialects. The residents
responded verbally lo a
standard questionnaire and
(heir answers were (ape
recorded."

Novelist visits campus
By DON SITIANCTIK JR
The South and the nation
arc undergoing dramatic
changes which we do not
vet comprehend, according
to this year’s Phinizy
Lecturer, novelist Walter
Percy
Percy told a near capa
city crowd at the Fine Arts
Auditorium on Friday eco
nomic. political and social
changes are pushing the
South into an unexpected
dominant role.
'The South has entered
the mainstream of Ameri
can live, perhaps for the
first time in 150 years." he
said. Percy said "Through a
strange repetition of history
and conjunction of circum
stances perhaps a broad
ening ot national purpose,
perhaps the ongoing econo
mic and political power
shift lo the southern rim—
perhaps all of those...the
burden of national leader
ship may well fall to the
South, for better or worse.
just as it did in the early
IMfc "
Percy, a native Alabaman
who now resides in Lous-
iana. described the ongoing
formation of a prosperous
"sun-belt," from the South
east to California, which, he
said, may become an
increasingly vital support to
America’s economy as the
northern cities tall into
decay
“IN TIIE YEAR 2000
Peachtree Street may have
replaced Madison Ave.
Pittsburgh may well be
known as the Birmingham
of the North." he said,
drawing laughter from the
audience.
"The great cities must be
saved and they will In* And
guess who'll be paying for it
in the next 20 or :to years?
That is. guess who’ll be
paying more than their
share of federal taxes while
Detroiters. New Yorkers,
and Los Angolans pay less?
The taxpayers of the
Southern rim.

• And perhaps this is not
only as it should be, but I
confess that it gives a great
satisfaction that it should
come to that, the South
having saved the Union
After all. it is our turn." ne
remarked, eliciting a burst
of applause and more
laughter
Referring to the changing
South, he said. "You drive
through Atlanta-or for that
matter. Dallas. Houston—
you lake a look around, and
up. and you wonder. What
is this place? Is this a
place? What's going on
here 0 Is this place trying lo
Ik* another New York 9 To
Im* something new under the
sun? Is this progress? And
if it is progress, is progress
good, or bad. or both? And
if both, how do you tell the
good from the bad?"
Likening the South to a
man who’s had a toothache
all his life and doesn’t know
what to do next when, at
last, he is healed. Percy
said the South's long
obsession with black while
relations is past.
He added he did not want
to suggest this is not a
critical period of race
relations for all of America,
the South included, but.
"Black and while Southern
ers no longer suffer the
unique onus and continued
burden of race that became
a part of the very connota
tion of the word 'South’."
PERCY ASKED what
would Ik* the impact of the
South's psychic energies,
now released from racial
preoccupation, on such
areas as politics and art. He
speculated the South once
again may produce states
men comparable to Jeffer
son and the other Southern
colonial leaders
Focusing on students, he
said. "In Ihe case of those
of you who are the future
Richard Russells. Walter
Georges. William Faulk
ners. Allen Tales - what will
you be doing 20 years from
now? If you're going lo be
successful businessmen and
women, well and good. We
already know thal. It is Ihe
future of the other enter
prises thal we don’t.
"One thing is certain. You
will not have Southern
slavery or Southern racial
segregation either to defend
or attack, in short, to be
preoccupied with. You won’t
be able to blame Northern
liberals for your troubles."
Percy’s novels, the first of
which. The Moviegoer, won
the 1962 National Book
Award, have been described
by one reviewer as, "novels
set in the South yet which
point us convincingly to the
rest of the country."
The Moviegoers, and
Percy’s other novels, The
Last Gentlemen (1966),
laove in the Ruins (1971),
The Message in the Bottle
(1975) and Lancelot, re
leased last March, all deal
with characters who must
understand and come to
terms with cataclysmic
changes happening within
and around them.
PERCY ENCOURAGED
aspiring Southern writers
not to try to imitate
Southern literary greats
such as Faulkner and
Flannery O’Conner, but to
relate their Southern exper
ience lo the American
experience and. ultimately,
lo the human experience.
Depicting a possible fu
ture scenario for the South,
he said. "I have no idea
whether in Ihe year 2000
we- and by we. 1 mean you.
Ihe Southeast, the old
Confederacy—will simply
have become a quaint
corner of a teeming, pros
perous. Southern rim. some
100 million people, with its
population center and spiri
tual heartland somewhere
between Dallas and L.A..
whether your best writers
will l)c doing soap operas in
Atlanta: your best com
posers. country-and-western
in Nashville, your best film
directors making sequels lo
Walking Tall and Macon
County Line; whether our
supreme architectural
achievement will be the
Superdome, and our su
preme cultural achievement
will be the year Alabama
ranked number one...
“There’s nothing wrong
with any of these achieve*
ments. The name of Ihe
game is always excellence:
excellence in business, pol
itics. literature and so on.
The difference is that now
Ihe door is open in all fields
and Ihe South, like Ihe rest
of Ihe country, can go
through." r , ,
Softer clothing on view this year
LAS VEGAS UPI Soft, sof

shill to softness in men's
clothing since penitents stop
ped wearing sackcloth.
This year's sinner, and
even the few virtuous who
venture here this week for the
Men’s Fashion Association
Spring-Summer Preview, will
see more soil colors, cushy,
crushahlc materials and un
structured fashions than most
veteran clotheshorses can
remember.
"It’s a very soft year." said
Arnie Linsinan. representing
Pierre Cardin, who introduced
the soft look • or as he calls it
‘floatant’ 10 years ago
“The softness will really
reach its height in Ihe fall, but
this spring is a forerunner and
the look will Im* well repre
sented." said Chip Tolbert, the
MFA’s fashion director
Just what is soft all about?

said. "1 don’t see why

lapel and the collar and lower
button placement.
"This makes the line longer
and more fluid," says Cardin's
Linsman. "You can take some
of these jackets of! and roll
them into a hall, then put them
hack on and they'd look
perfect, because all Ihe under

Cardin, lor one, has taken it

Senate approves
anti-pom bill
ATLANTA UPl-Thc Senate
unanimously approved a bill
making it a felony lo produce
child pornography Monday
outlawing the use of anyone
under 14 in sexually explicit
films or magazines.
Although no one opposed the
measure by Sen Todd Evans,
D-Atlanta, some lawmakers
sought to raise the minimum
age to 18 - protecting all
minors from involvement in
pornography. Evans convinced
the Senate, however, that the
law might be declared
unconstitutional unless the
minimum age lor appearing in
Pornography was kept the
same as the age of consent
under statutory rape and child
molesting laws
Sen Lawrence "Bud" Stum,
haugh, D-Stone Mountain, said
he agreed with protecting all
minors but felt that any
minimal age above 14 would

establishing the age was later
declared unconstitutional
