Barth Writes Novel
On Suicide Theme
The "realization that logically, there is no more reason
to commit suicide than not to," concludes the philosophical
movement of "The Floating Opera," by John S. Barth, in
structor in English composition.
As explained by Todd Andrews, hero arid narrator of the
book, "The Floating Opera" , parallels a showboat ' drifting up
and down a river in the Virginia
and Maryland tidewater country
to the way life works. He con
cludes that our friends float by,
we become involved with them,
only to find they soon pass on.
They may float back again, then
we renew the friendships or we
part,
Basic Ideas 'Drift'
Andrews suggests that the
basic ideas of "The Floating Op
era" may also drift in and out of
our thoughts as we read through
it.
"The Floating Opera" is the
first of three novels Barth is
writing to "dramatize some as
pects of the dilemma which con
fronts the intelligent man of our
time who wishes to order. his be
havior in terms of a rationale."
Major Theme of Novels
Barth describes "rational par
alysis," a phenomenon which
Todd Andrews . experiences dur
ing the climax of "The Floating
Opera," as the major theme of his
three novels.
His second book, "What To Do
Until The Doctor Comes," is re
ferred to by Barth as nihilistic
comedy. "The Sot-Weed Factor,"
the third novel in the series, is
in the process of being written.
Grew Up In Cambridge
Barth grew up in the town of
Cambridge, Md., which also
serves as the setting for his book.
At the age of fifteen he was play
ing professionally as a jazz musi
cian.
Barth came to the University' in
the fall of 1953. Now, age 26, he
is working 'for his Ph.D.

Borough Tests
Tile Markings
State College Borough is experi
menting with a new kind of
crosswalk marking.
Where the usual painted lines
indicated pedestrian crosswalks
at earners, the borough is trying
a reflecting plastic material fas
tened to the pavement with art
adhesive. The tile-shaped squares
are impregnated with a beaded
reflecting material.
Workmen laid the reflecting
markers at Beaver avenue and
Atherton street last week, and an
other installation is scheduled for
College avenue and Burrowes
street. Reflectors of a different
make were installed previously at
College avenue and Frazier street.
Borough Engineer Donald
Dorneman said the markers are
"strictly experimental at the mo
ment." Be said the borough was
seeking some way to cut down the
cost and trouble of annual paint
ing of lines and at the same time
increase visibility.
Should the markers prove satis
factory, they might be installed at
all pedestrian crosswalks.
