Untermeyer Gives
Definition Of Poet
"A professional poet is a
common, average man, a lit
tle more highly sensitive, in
tensified, using consciously
in language what the aver
age man uses unconsciously,
said Louis Untermeyer, poet,
critic, editor and anthologist,
in a public lecture yesterday.
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.

Library Staff

The Love library staff is

Houses are urged to begin

KK Spring Show
Of Hit 'Fioreilo!'
Is Saturday Night
Kosmet K 1 u b's Spring
Show, "Fioreilo!" opens at 8
p.m. Saturday at Pershing
Memorial Auditorium.
University freshman Buzz
Brashear is cast in the lead
role of the musical which de
picts 15 years of the life of
Fioreilo LaGuardia, New
York mayor who broke Tam
many HaU in the late 1920's.
The show originally opened
on Broadway in 1959 and was
the hit of the season. It was
adopted from a book by Je
rome Weidman and George
Abbot.
Fiorello's secretary, Marie,
is played by Peggy Bryans
who, in the play, loves Fio
reilo, but the mayor is un
aware of her devotion.
LaGuardia is a young law
yer in a poorer section of
town who serves people with
out pay. This association
later proves to be an impor
tant factor in his election as
a VS. Congressman.

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

your famfly and friends.

of the Junior Interfraternity
Council, will install seat

The Junior IFC has been
the "back bone" of the com
plete project according to

is to provide as many people
with seat belts as want them,
