Marvell Poem Assignment

CHAPEL HILL, N.C.
(CPS)-When 17th century
poet Andrew Marvell s u g
gested to his "Coy Mistres
"Now let us sport while we
may," he found a sympa

Now, however, a group of
University of North Caro
lina students have been
"offended" by the assign

and a theme on seduction
to a freshman English
class: and their displeasure
has led to the transfer of
their instructor to "other

heal Paull asked his class
to write a paper on seduc
tion in conjunction with
their assignment of Mar
veil's widely anthologized
classic love poem. After
the papers were turned in,
the 24-year-old Ph.D. can
didate claimed that his class
had misinterpreted the en
tire point of Marvell's work.
To demonstrate the stu
dents' misunderstanding of
the poet's purpose, Paull
read three of the students'
papers in c 1 a s s one of
which, he said, "contained

The citation, not included
as a disciplinary measure
in the official student hand
book, was initiated last
year after the dean found
students continually forget

or else ignoring them.
Students have not taken
the Dean's new weapon
very seriously, however,
and no protests have emerg

The dean is confident that
after a while students will
learn the significance of
"Contempt of the College."
"It wouldn't look very

ment among the students
led to protests against the
assignment and widespread
publicity of the case over
Chapel Hill's local televi
sion station, WRAL TV.
The furor over the as
signment led a faculty com
mittee to investigate the
situation for University
Chancellor Carlyle Sitter
son, and after consulation
with a larger Faculty Ad
visory Committee, the Chan
cellor transferred Paull to
other duties at the school.
"On the basis of evidence
before me," Sitterson said,
"It did not appear that
(Paull) had effective com
munication with his class
and that the reading of the
themes in his class . . .
with the consequent em
barrassment on many
points, had seriously dis
turbed the normal teacher
student learning relation
.ship." Paull contended that he
was not "deviating" from
the course syllabus and
that the students' themes
he read aloud "sort of em
barrassed me."
"I went on to explain
that this was not what I
had meant by the assign
ment," he continued, and
that the class had missed
the entire point of the
poem."
Despite protests by sev
eral students against the
transfer of PauQ, Sitterson
claimed that his action was
not meant as discipline.
"In making this reassign
ment, no punitive measures
are being taken against Mr.
Paull nor are there any
charges being made
against him," he said.

Lack Of Speakers Halts
Wednesday's Hyde Park
By Eileen Wirth
News Assistant
There are no plans at the
present time for revamping
Hyde Park or changing the
format despite a lack of
speakers at Wednesday's
forum, according to Rich
ard Scott, Nebraska Union
Program Manager.
Wednesday's Hyde Park
was called off because no
speakers appeared.
He attributed the lack of
speakers Wednesday to a
last minute change of date-
The forum, which is cus
tomarily held on Thursday,
moved to Wednesday be
cause of the appearance of
Ted Sorensen on Thursday
afternoon.
The Union Talks and Top
ics committee, was not cer
tain until Monday that Sor
ensen would appear and did
not change Hyde Park until
it was snre.
Scott noted that Wednes

ing student housing is being
considered for action by
SDS. Dennis Bartels, vice
president was named chair
man of a group to research
off-campus housing condi
tions. "Everyone's talking
about the housing problem,
but no one has done any
thing about it," stated
Spangler.
Particular areas of Inter
est, according to Spangler,
include discrimination in
renting to Negro students,
and the lack of reasonably
priced and suitable housing
available near campus.
Carl Davidson, past pres
ident of the University SDS
and currently travelling
vice president of National
SDS, will be in Lincoln for
one week Friday- Davidson
will be speaking informal
ly on campus during the
week, according to Spang
ler. because of the special elec
tion edition.
A conflict with the ASUN
meeting was another possi
ble explanation, Scott said.
Last year Hyde Park was
moved to Thursday from
Wednesday because of this
conflict and the fact that
potential Hyde Park speak
ers were involved in ASUN,
he added.
This year's Hyde Park
lacks the consistency sup
plied by regular controver
sial speakers like Carl Dav
idson and Steve Abbot, Scott
said.
There is actually a wider
student participation in the
Forums than last year
when regular speakers and
topics dominated the dis
cussions, according to Scott.
He commented that this
year's topics have tended to
concern campus affairs and
policies more than they did
last year when Viet Nam
and civil rights were fre
quently discussed.
Although Hyde F - is
open to both facuh nd
students, Scott said t . to
his knowledge no faculty
member above the rank of
graduate assistant has spok
en. He said he does not feel
that one Hyde Park like
Wednesday's indicates stu
dent apthy. Instead he said
that through Hyde Park
more students have become
involved in campus affairs
than ever before.

National Affiliation Question
Troubles FSNCC Membership
A question of affiliation
and status faced members
at the first open meeting of
Friends of the Student Non
Violent Coordinating Com
mittee (FSNCC) Tuesday.
The three-year-old Uni
versity group Is at present
an autonomous organization
that supports national
SNOC both "financially and
philosophically," according
to president JoElIen Wil
liams. FSNCC is without a proj
ect to support, after finish
ing financial aid to the tune
of $150 a month to the SNCC
Gulfport Project last year.
Now, because of the small
membership of FSNCC at
the University, and because
of policy changes in nation
al SNCC, the group is re
viewing its affiliation and
status as a fund-raiser.
"Over the cries of black
power, FSNCC's all over
the country have cut-off
funds to SNCC," said Gene
Pokorny.
The September statement
from SNCC telling white
civil rights workers to go
home and start organizing
in white communities, has
apparently had some effect
on the FSNCC affiliation
question.
Miss Williams called the

the future relationship of

Miss Williams talked with
Stokley Carmichael, head
of SNCC, who stated that If
the University group sup
ported the present philoso
phy of his organization, he
would accept funds.
According to Miss Wil
liams, Carmichael also not
ed that white organizations
should be concentrating In
white communties.
However, the status of
FSNCC will probably be de
cided on the basis of other
considerations. At present,
the small membership
makes it difficult to follow
a purely fund-raising
course.
Miss Williams raised
doubts as to the feasibility
of trying to collect enough
money at the University to
support a project.
Instead, it was suggested
that FSNCC switch to an
educational role in the com
munity and on campus.
At the meeting, a motion

Bob Smith, representa

SNCC who was a panelist at
the black power teach-in,
spoke at the meeting con
cerning projects that are

borhoods. Smith suggested that sup
port groups do both. He
noted that the salaries for
field workers of SNCC have
been cut within the last few
months and that SNCC is
"practically bankrupt."
FSNCC voted to send the
remaining amount of mon
ey in its treasury back to
