BY VIC CAMPO Robert Lee Parr, professor in the English Department has been contracted to write a book that could very possibly end a lot of freshman misery. The book is unfinished and the working title that is used for It now Is ILLUSTRATION AND ANALYSIS: AN APPROACH TO WRITING. It is to be a text book designed for freshmen English courses, The textbook he proposes to write is based on a new principle of method for teaching freshmen English, The idea behind this technique is to show a student how to write rather than merely to tell him. This book is divided into two parts. The first part of it deals with the process of composition. This shows a student how to write a theme and how to carry it through and write longer papers. The second part of the book deals with the writing of various kinds of literary papers and exams. Parr says that the last chapter of the book is the one on which the most emphasis is places. This chapter deals with the answering of essay questions on tests. He states that many college freshmen do not know how to answer such questions properly, so he has put various types of essay questions in the book with rules'for. answering them. In each chapter of the book, there will be actual papers printed to show what point the chapter tries to get across. First there will be a group of writings from professional writers. These will be followed by actual papers handed in by students in order to show what the writing would look like in an actual exercise. The publisher for the book is Charles Merril, and Parr hopes to finish it and have it published by January. Parr, an alumnus of Duke University, received an A.B. degree there in 1953. He received an M.A, degree in 1954 from the University of North Carolina, and he has taken add- itional graduate courses at UNC BANTAM CHEF SANDWICHES li^aflL^, - ICE MILK Phone 293-2222 BOXES TO GO CHICKEN SHRIMP SLUSH DRINKS FISH COGDILL MOTOR CO.
