Ogden Nash to Speak
Feb. at Convocation
Ogden Nash, famous writer of
light verse, and who, according
to himself, has survived four and
one-half of Shakespear's "Seven
Ages of Man," will speak at a
University convocation Feb. 8 in
the Union ballroom.
"Midway Thru' Nash," will be
the writer's topic.
Nash's works appear in the
"New Yorker," "Saturday Eve
ning Tost," and other national
magazines, as well as in his own
ten books.
The poet's latest book of verse,
"Versus," contains a long list of
his aversions. He takes a dim view
of children's books that aren't
really for children, professional
optimists, golf snobs, duck hunt
ers, television, women who leave

Favors Marriage
On the other hand, he strongly
favors spring, dogs, robins, and
marriage. Because middle age,
according to Nash, is inevitable
for anyone who lives long enough,
he treats it with affable resigna
tion. "Let's Not Climb the Wash
ington Monument Tonight" con
tains his personal views on the
age.
Nash was the first of his family
to venture north of the Mason
Dixon line. One of his ancestors
was Revolutionary Governor of
North Carolina, and another, a
Revoltionary general, had Nash
ville, Tenn., named after him.
The writer entered Harvard in
the class of 1924 but left one year
afterwards. This, he maintains,
was his original intention, and he
will produce affidavits on the
subject. He spent a year at St.
George's School in Newport, R. I ,
where he says, "I lost my entire
nervous system carving lamb for
a table of 14-year-olds."
Light Verse
Nash stumbled on writing light
verse accidently while working at
the Doubleday Page publishing
house.
Except for a brief period as
managing editor of "The New
Yorker," in 1931, Nash has con
centrated for about 20 years on
producing his light verse.
Among his books are "Hard
Linds," "I'm A Stranger Here
M y s e 1 f," "Good Intentions,"
"Many Long Years Ago," and
"The Face Is Familiar."
He wrote the lyrics and was
co-author with S. J. Perelman of
the musical hit, "One Touch of
Venus."

'Healthy' Debate Opens
Council Election Revisions

Described by President Roz
Howard as one of "the most
healthy meetings of the year,"
Student Council members exer
cised latent lung power in dis
cussing the first revision of the
Constitution Wednesday.
A tentative motion to accept
the party system method of elec
tion resulted from the afternoon's
work. The council will vote upon
the measure at the next meeting.
Offered a list of six methods
of election of members to the
Council, members tallied the list
to a debate of three no party
system, party system or the pres
ent system by organizations.
The first twenty minutes of dis
cussion centered around whether
to plan the method of represen
tation first or method of election
but Bob Parker sparked debate

by terming the "party or no-party
system" the pertinent problem.
Tast System Defeated.
Don Stearns, inter fraternity
council representative, showed the
inefficiency of past election meth
ods. He said, "past system was
pretty well muddled up. The Uni
versity party has had the gar
nered positions. The Council has
no competition for seats except
groups persons represent. The
only way to establish a party
system is by making premium on
party organization."
He pointed out that "if we
continue with our present system
of organizations, council mem
bers would keep on considering
proposals and taking it back to
groups, and stated, "I'm getting
tired of it."
Another complaint by Bob Raun
against election by organizations
showed that council members be
long to so many organizations
that "they can now express their
pleas thru more than one vote."
Greek-Barb Opposition.
The crux of the argument,
however, was brought to the front
by Ben Wall. "The distinction be
tween Barbs and Greeks the
issue will arise shows that the
party system is the only solution
now. We should try it and see if it
works."
He pointed out that Independ
ents are willing "to work" for a
position they don't want it for a
gift. If the line is drawn between
Greeks and Barbs everyone will
still have a chance.'
When the University P.irty had
been cited as living example of
political party on campus Don
Stern explained, "Our party is
organized along a male Greek
line. We don't have to be one way
or another but that is the way we
are set up just so there is some
opposition to us.'
University Party.
Miss Milenz, faculty sponsor,
aired her views by stating that
"The University party has never
been recognized by the faculty
there is no party , as far as they
are concerned.'
Along with the Greek-Independent
line discussion the sex
ratio problem appeared. Shirley
Allen and Alice Jo Smith led coed
ideas that campus women could
not possibly organize a party
against the existing stronghold of
the University party, and that if
such a. party system was put into
the constitution, coed support
might go to another party, other
than the University party.
Finally coming to a partial
agreement, the motion to tenta
tively approve a party Eystem
was voted upon and passed, but
with loud nay response from the
coed minority.
Council members were so Inter
ested in the discussion that the
privileged motion to adjourn was
defeated for a short final review
of the two-hour debate.
