Your Crimson Reporter Interviews Dr. Mann
It was discovered that Thomas
Mann does not plan his stories com¬
pletely before writing them down,
the attentive students learned from
ONE DIRECT QUESTION YOUR
CRIMSON REPORTER SLIPPED
INTO THE CONVERSATION. It
seems he started The Magic Moan-
tain as a shart story and it de¬
veloped into a long novel.
Dr. Mann said that the ability to
write is not enough, and unless
the would-be author has experi¬
ences that convince him that his
life ia one of destifly he will never
create literature.
However, Dr. Mann admitted that
style is very important
A few studenta sneaked in ques¬
tions about German politics, but
your reporter obligingly forgot
them. _ -
The four "high school studenta"
got to shake hands with the world's
greatest living man of letters. Any
Howard student stashing to shake
the hand of your reporter may do
so by appointment
Seated beside Dr. Mann, and
often repeating the questions that
he could not quite catch, was the
writer s wife. Although both spoke
with accents, Mrs. Mann usually
interpreted questions, and at times
explained in German to the Doctor.
And what sort of questions were
asked the world's greatest living
author? Because his lecture that
night was to be on world events,
the studenta were asked to confine
themselves to literary questions.
Someone asked Dr. Mann if his
characters were drawn from real
life or his own imagination. He
answered that when he was
younger he often drew characters
from life, but that for many years
he has made them up out of his
mind.
To the query as to which of the
two types of characters he most en¬
joyed writing. Dr. Mann's eyes
twinkled and he answered, “I like
to meet the imaginative ones, be¬
cause they do so many surprising
things which I had not anticipated
when I first created them."
"And these are some high school
studenta who write for their school

Southern studenta seated on the
floor in front of Thomas Mann and
his wife in their suite at the Tut-
wiler HoteL
"Oh. how one must suffer for
the rake of news.1" sighed the Crim¬
son reporter, resigning herself to
the classification of high school
student and seating herself in the
midst of the enemy.
But patience has Its rewards.
When the Southern studenta had
finally been herded out by their
professor, the "high school stu¬
