Vol. 76, No. 90 The University Party for Progress UPP) adopted a platform, chose its Central Council and selected candi dates for Student Council which it will support. The party held its first Annual Convention last night with about 50 members and guests present. The party imanimously vot ed to support affiliation with National Student Association (NSA) and to urge their can didates to support such affili ation. "The NSA is doing many things now that we would like to see done here on this campus," said Sid Saunders, who proposed the resolution.

Answering the question "What Makes Modern Poet ry Modern," Untermeyer said that everybody uses po etic devices such as meta phors, similes, alliterations and cliches everyday in ev ery business. These devices actually show a great deal of accura cy, observation, imagination and Jhumor that poets use in their art, he said. Modern poetry is what is produced when you"re living, said Untermeyer. Obscurity or difficulties of modern po etry do not make the dis tinction between that and classical because classical poetry has a certain amount of these two elements also, he said. All serious poetry is diffi cult because it deals with what is imaginative or un known and this presents a difficulty, he timtinued. "We live in a complex world and modern poets do what all poets try to do hold a mirror up to nature, he said. There are two thirds nota follows : "WHEREAS : It is one of the principles of this nation that all men are created equal; and " "WHEREAS: It is a major function of an educational in stitution to uphold these vir tures of equality and break down the barriers of misun derstanding and prejudice; and 'WHEREAS: It has been widely circulated that Univer sity students both on and off campus have been discrim inated against because of their race; "THEREFORE; Be it re solved that a standing com mittee of three be established to investigate the extent of racial discrimination both on and off campus." Bud Kimball, newly-elected member of the Central Coun cil, said that the committee would find how serious and where racial discrimination was located on campus and make recommendations as to ble about modern poetry, said Untermeyer. The line between serious poetry and light verse has thinned con siderably and the line be tween prose and verse has also thinned, he said. "Poets of today reflect Ms world its horror, boredom and glory," said the poet. It is the glorification or use of the commonplace that makes modern poetry more reada ble and exciting. There is no way of meas uring modern poetry except through personal taste, he said. My taste is not intel lectualism nor extreme popu larism; 1 like novelty, clarity and things that startle or an noy me, Untermeyer ex plained. "A work of art requires some shape and 6ome form," said the anthologist. Beatnik poetry has no form; it is an outflowing of ideas which are fine material for art, but it isn't art, he explained. "The Runaway," by the late Robert Frost was read by Untermeyer partly as a tribute and partly because he was implicated in it "Robert Frost, my oldest, dearest inend, is one of the three greatest poets in the United States," said Unter meyer. America has never had a poet so profound and playful and yet one that ha enjoyed such great populari ty, he said. The Daily Nebraskon TY SAIL what can be done about it.

"It must be understood that this project is entirely inde pendent from any University regulation and that no group will try to dictate as to what should be put in these li braries," said Miss Pierce. Houses are urged to begin a library even if it is a very small one as it can be added to each year, said Miss Pierce in her report. The con tent .of these libraries may be in the nature of what the house is basicaDy inter ested in.

Are You Tempting Trouble? Seat Belts Protect NU Students Lives The time is 11:35 p.m. You are driving alone on a hot, balmy summer night As sleep overpowers yon, the car heads into the left-hand lane. You slowly leave the highway, just missing the concrete abutment of a bridge by a few feet By this time sleep has you in its clutches. You drop into a 6-foot ditch, hitting cul vert post directing the; car toward a plowed field. - Approaching the field you awake to shear off a tele phone pole and 4 fence posts. After 573 feet of destruction, you stop 20 yard short of a cement silo. You awoke just in time for 300 feet of the impact. You feel a stomach pain as you climb out of the car. Your seat-belt saved your life. This happened to a Nebras ka student. Each year, according to the National Safety Council, thousands are killed because they are either thrown against the windshield or thrown from the car. Your chances of surviving an acci dent are five times greater if you are held in your car by a seat belt. Seat belts are a kind of ad ditional insurance. Normal in surance protects your bank account, but seat belts pro tect your life, and those of. your famfly and friends.
