NCR Complete Computer Systems An equal opportunity employer Inspiring life of i poverty and persecution Yiddish writer Nobel winner . 1 In fhf» United State*; in lem u United Press International STOCKHOLM, Sweden — lashevis Singer, the Polish-born American author whose moving accounts of Jewish life in Polish ghet tos brought “universal human conditions to life, Thursday won the 1978 Nobel Prize for Literature. Singer, 74, a resident of New York City, was a surprise choice for the $164,775 prize — the highest recognition in the world of litera ture — edging out oft-mentioned candidates such as British novelist Graham Greene and South African Nadine Gordimer. Singer writes all his books in Yiddish and is considered by many to be the greatest Yiddish writer of all time. Located in Miami where he spends part of each year, Singer said I didn’t write for prizes, but if it comes it’s good. If it doesn t come, I would have been writing anyhow. No writer writes for prizes but it s good to be recognized. “I expected nothing because I was already 45 and no one knew me except for a few Yiddish readers. If it came it seems that this is destiny, if it would not come, I would have made peace with that, too,” the writer said. The Swedish Academy said it awarded the prize to Singer for his impassioned narrative art which, with roots in Polish-Jewish cultural tradition, brings universal human conditions to life. The awards are financed by the estate of oalfred Nobel, the 19th- century inventor of dynamite. Singer was born in Radzymin, Poland, in 1904, the son and grand son of rabbis. He received a traditional Jewish education in his early years in Warsaw and immigrated to the United States in 1935, He worked for many years at the Jewish Daily Forward newspj, in New York and labored in relative obscurity until 1950 when short stories and novels drew a devoted following. His latest book, “Shosha,” published in June, dealt the tl Polish rabbi and his search for his childhood sweetheart, a mem retarded girl from his hometown with whom he returns to Europ face the Nazi holocaust. . . , , His works in their original Yiddish had a relatively limited a ence. But they became known widely through their translation publication in such magazines as The New Yorker, Harper’s Commentary. . . , ., , The Nobel Academy, in announcing the award, said the experiences in the Polish ghettos “set their stamp on Singer as a, and as a writer and provide the evervivid subject matter for inspiration and imagination. “It is the world and life of East European Jewry, such as it lived in cities and villages, in poverty and persecution, and imbi with sincere piety and rites combined with blind faith and tl0 “Its language was Yiddish — the language of the simple people, of the women, the language of the mothers, which presen fairytales and anecdotes, legends and memories for hundreds years, through a history which seems to have left nothing untried the way of agony, passions, aberrations, cruelty, and bestiality,' also of heroism, love and self-sacrifice.” author I supersU Encounter groups forming at A&M to help solve people’s problems I By CANDICE HILL Battalion Reporter Are you having trouble with dat ing? Do you find that you cannot calm down before a test? Are you having trouble losing those few extra pounds? If so, maybe you should try going to the Experiential Group Training that the Educa tional Psychology Services Center is offering starting next week. The center will offer group ex periences on weight reduction, dat ing skills, test anxiety, anxiety-stress management and assertiveness training. The sessions will last about eight weeks, with 6-10 people per group. n-ri-rm i t The lab in the center provides psychological services for students and faculty of Texas A&M Univer sity and for people of the Bryan- College Station community. Charles Cleveland, a graduate student in the department of Educa tional Psychology Services, said the lab deals with many different prob lems. They range from vocational problems, such as choosing a major, to pre-marital and marital problems. Each session usually lasts about 50 minutes. The lab has a program called Stress Management Training that began earlier this semester. This program helps students deal with stress and recognize it so that they can deal with the things more pro ductively, Cleveland said. Some problems are the loneliness of being away from home, the new life of being in a fraternity, sorority or the Corps of Cadets. It can also help a student who is troubled about dat ing or breaking up with someone. The lab is run mainly by students who are working on master’s or doc toral degrees. Most have degrees in psychology, sociology, or rti fields. Dr. Lannes Hope, a prole educational psychology, sup the lab. He interviews peoples^ ing help and assigns them toaa selor.
