Granted that women have a
new look; but the male portion
of the campus claims t' ' it has
a look that is strictly skan
and strictly its own the
"bold look," and if yqy plan to
study it in detail, take heed and
wear dark glasses.
A man is as firm as his founda
tion and there can be no founda
tion firmer than a pair of sturdy,
thick-soled shoes. Such as least
is the opinion of Jack Hill who
wears white crepe-soled shoes
for almost every occasion.
The homecoming dance
brought out an interes(ing array
of suits. Ken Henkins wore a
classic grey flannel, double
breasted suit. Gabardine is still
the favorite of Bus Pauley, who
likes his light tan and also double
breasted. Jerry Barret favors a
brown and white herringbone
suit with the loudest tie he can
fwid.
Pastels are holding their own,
even among the menfolk. Wit

Evans Leads Double Life
As Prof, Magazine Poet
Hidden away in a second floor

man who is little known to the
student body of the university.
He is well known, however, to
magazine editors, who have been
publishing his poetry and phil
osophy for several years.
This man, Oliver Evans, is now
teaching sophomore English,
American literature, and ad
vanced composition. The "Prairie
Schooner," a literary publication
of the university was the first
magazine to print his poetry.
Friend is Broadway Writer.
This sandy haired prof started
writing verse as a freshman at
Louisiana State university. He
became interested in poetry
through two of his instructors

who have since become well
known in literary circles. An
other friend who encouraged him
is Tennessee Williams, author of
the Broadway hit, "Streetcar
Named Desire." Williams was a
movie usher in New York when
Evans first knew him.
Evans graduated from L.S.U. in
1935 where he was elected to
Phi Kappa Phi, the Phi Beta
Kappa of many southern schools.
The varsity debating squad and
the debate honorary included him
among their members. He earned
his Masters and has done work
on his Ph. D. at Ohio State and
at Vanderbilt.
Studied in Italy.
An exchange scholarship gave
him a chance to study, at the
University of Milan in Italy. He
took some summer courses at Ox
ford in 1938 and then taught
English at Athens college in
Greece for a year.
While abroad Evans made many
observations which provide useful
material for his writing. During
the year in Italy, he did not
write at all, but he had poem9
published in both Greece and
England.
He is interested in both prose
and poetry and has had works
published in Harpers, Yale Re
view, and Poetry; A Magazine of
Verse. Extentialism is one of
his main interests. The April,
1948, issue of the "South At
lantic Quarterly" published one
of his articles on this subject.
"Ceremony," one of his short
stories, was selected by Edwin
Seaver from over 2,000 manu
scripts for inclusion in his an
thology, "Cross Section" in 1945.
He is now preparing a book on
Gertrude Stein.
Evans alternates teaching with
writing but considers writing his
main occupation. He admits,
howevr, that teaching brings in
a more regular paycheck. Writing
cannot be depended upon for an
economic subsistance because ma
terial must often wait several
months to be published.
Evans would like to have
fewer required English courses
and more elective courses. He
does not see the necessity for
pupils who lack interest in litera
ture courses having to take them.
"A professor," says Evans, "gets
much more enjoyment from
teaching a subject to pupils who
! share his enthusiam for it."
