We urge all members of the St. Andrews community registered to vote in North Carolina to cast their vote in favor of the education bonds. If passed, they will provide $43 million in badly needed construction funds for the state university system, funds that the General Assembly, owing to the state’s straightened financial picture, couldn’t appropriate as part of the budget. At UNC-Charlotte, just to cite one example, the School of Nursing is currently housed in the gymnasium. The School of Architecture and the Learning Resources Department are crammed into a portion of the library. The passage of these bonds will provide funds for construction of buildings for the programs to call their own. To those of you who are natives of this state or have gone as far as registering to vote here. North Carolina is your state. Do something positive for it. Vote for the education bonds. Graduation Committee Signs Speaker The 1976 Graduation Com mittee has announced some of its plans for this year’s graduation. For the first time in the history of the college, graduation will be held in the evening. The ceremony will take place at 7 pm on Satur day, May 22. The graduation speaker will be Father Walter Ong of St. Louis University. Father Ong is a Jesuit Priest and teaches English at St. Louis. He is a scholar noted for his work con cerning the media and language. Melissa Tufts was elected by her class as senior class speaker. Ms. Tufts is a history major, assistant residence director of Wilmington Dorm and is active in student government. Other plans for graduation include a 4:30 pm reception on the President’s lawn for students and their families, and a buffet dinner following the graduation ceremony for the graduates and their guests. This year the graduating seniors will wear St. Andrews blue academic robes and will participate in the traditional walk across the causewalk. NC University System Limits ’76 Enrollment In an action that amounts to a semi-freeze of enrollment at its sixteen campuses,the University of North Carolina, by vote of its Board of Gover nors, will keep next year’s enrollment within recom mended ranges. The action is a response to the University’s tendency over past yeas to admit more students than it had budgeted- for. This school year the system admitted 6,124 more students than it had planned. If recommended ranges for next year are repeated, the system will admit only 3,459 students than it has now. “It still provides for growth, but not at therate of this year,” said university system president William C. Friday. Just how many students arefrozen out this fall will depend on how many apply, he said. Each school in the system is given a range for the coming year. If it exceeds the range, which all of the schools but the School of Arts in Winston- Salem did this year, the school will not be penalized in any direct way. It will just have to spread its funds more thinly among its over-enrolled student body. If the ’76-77 ranges are respected, total Bunting To Speak At St. Andrews, Harvard The noted English poet Basil Bunting will be in residence at St. Andrews from April 15 through AjyU 19. Friend to W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot, and especially Ezra Pound (with whom he edited the famous “Active Anthology” in 1931), Bunting’s career has included experience as music critic, scholar of languages, captain of a private yacht, solider, diplranat, and journalist. Bun ting will discuss his work in conversation with poets Jonathan Williams and Tom Meyer on Friday, April 16 at 7:30 p.m. in the Liberal Arts Auditorium and he will read from his poetry on Moiday, ^ril 19 at 8:00 p.m. in Gran ville Lounge. Born the son of a Quacker doctor in Scotswood-on-Tyne, Northumberland in 1900, Bun ting was educated at Adc- worth, Leighton Park and the London School of Economics. Imprisoned as a conscientious objector to World War I, Bun ting joined the Royal Air For ce during World War II and rose to the rank of wing com mander. Having taught him self Persian to read Medieval Persian tales, Bunting was sent to the Middle East where he remained after the war as a diplomat and a correspondent for the London Times. He now lives in sani-retirement in Northumberland with his wife and two children. Bunting first achieved recognition as a poet through the publication of the “Active Anthology” which he edited with his friend Ezra Pound and which contained early work by Bunting, Pound, Zukofsky, William Carlos Williams and Marianne Moore. In 1938 Pound published his “Gide to Kulchur” with a dedication to Bunting and Louis Zukofsky. Known for his association with Pound, Bunting’s poetry took a major change with the publication in 1965 of “Briggflatts,” a work which some critics have since com pared to Anglo-Saxon poetry for its vigor of sound. A firm believer that poetry should be heard, that is meaning comes essentially from its sound, Bunting brings to his reading a true feeling for the beauty of the spoken word. “Poetry, like music, is to be heard,” Bun ting believes. It seeks “to make not meaning, but beauty.” enrollment will run somewhere between the current 92,451 and a hi^ of 95,910. Friday said that 1975-76 had been seen as a year in whidi enrollment would stabilize and begin to decline. Recession conditions in the real world, however, caused many students to enter the college population as a means of putting off job-seeking until things get better, or to pick up extra education and skills to enchance their prospects when they get out. Joining Bunting in con versation on Friday, April 16, at 7:30p.m. in the Liberal Arts Auditorium are poets Jonathan Williams and Tom Meyer. Publisher of Jargon Press, and a close friend of Basil Bunting, Jonathan Williams has appeared at St. Andrews for three successful readings in recent years, in cluding last year’s Jargon Festival. Williams published in 1968 his conversation with Basil Bunting: “Descant Upon Rawthey’s Madrigal.” Twn Meyer is the author of three books of poetry, the lat^t, “The Umbrella of Aesculapius,” published recently by the Jargon Society. The twenty-fifth an niversary of the Jargon Society was recently marked by a party at the Gotham Bookmart in New Ywk, a reading at the Guggenheim Museum and a feature article in the “New York Times.” Movie This Week ^^Not What You Might Think^^ “The Adventures of Robin son Crusoe” Directed by Luis Bunuel With Dan O’Herlihy and Jaime Fernandy Bunuel uses Defoe’s novel to explore the “thoughts and funoausies of the castaway’s existence. “St. Andrews students may remember him Salvador Dali's collaboration in “Le Chien Andalou” (the short ith the eyeball splitting). His later films have been boto riotously funny and bitterly satiric. This fUm, says EUB film chief Stuart Swain, is not a Walt Disney type kiddie ad venture film. 7:00 Sunday in Avinger Audotirum. Free Bunging’s visit is sponsored by the Common Experience Committee and the English Program.
