His greatest objection is to the war in Viet Nam, which he had described earlier as "obscene." "It is a filthy and a terrible thing," he said, "to watch a powerful nation try to destroy a little one that can hardly de fend itself. "What it is, is genocide. "And the only way they can do it is by killing off all the inhabitants." But even with his stated disbelief in the war, Mezey says he believes in America. "If I didn't, I would get a passport and get on a boat. I love this country. The exact country I love hasn't been dis covered yet, but it's here." Then he added bleakly, "If we can keep out of war with China. America is such a wil derness wonderful open vital ity crushed every day by the church and the schools and the states; and we do it also." A young man holding a piece of paper with a f e w verses scribbled on it edged closer and hesitantly read. "That sounds pretty . good," Mezey commented, "Here, I'll Raincoats for men and -women.

' Mezey, who has published two volumes of his own poet ry and translated Hebrew and Spanish poets, has also been published in numerous antho logies and in such magazines as the New Yorker and Harp er's. A graduate of the Univer sity of Iowa, he has taught at several universities, but pro fesses no love for schools. "I would not like to make a ca reer of teaching. It entails being a member of a faculty. School is an expensive excuse to meet people." The crowd of students who - had surged toward him after the reading nodded in agreement. , Earlier in the evening, he had stood alone on the stage, in his tweed suit, with feet braced, he had turned h i s back on the painting of the winged angel brandishing a sword and had begun softly, "I am not a political poet, but all poetry is political in a sense.

And I think it's good to re member that most of the 'g r e a t s' come from such places. There are a lot of slummy places where people seem to. . .live. "Wars are forgotten, but if nations live at all, it is in what they have made beauti ful of themselves. Many coun tries on which we look with contempt because they are so small and easy to wipe out will be remembered with greater love, perhaps, than ourselves," said the man who had expressed his main themes as being "mostly about love and friendship." He read among others, from Pablo Neruda, a Chilean poet. "He is one of the two or three greatest poets of our century," said Mezey, "and in addition," he whispered, "he's a Commu nist." "I'd like to see this poem handed out to every Marine instead of his M-14," he com mented, referring to one about a soldier who throws away award of $100 to Ray Kass, also of Chapel Hill. The entire exhibition of 58 paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings will continue at the art center at Salem Col lege through December 15.

He had completed his, pro gram with readings from some of the "beat" poets, and then, a few of his own works. "No matter how depressing our world is," he stated later, "we have to live in it, to make our own way, like Dylan and the Beatles do. "I don't care how much people read my poetry in 100 years. I want to change things now, before we a 1 1 kill our selves." "There are people all over the United States who have taken LSD and discovered God. They've quit school and gone off to discover what life's all about. "It's my country and it's your country just as much as it is Rusk's and L.B.J.'s. I hate it, but I love it too." His dark eyes lighted. "It's a wonderful feeling to see those kids at Berkeley and those first SNCC kids down south all those things which the newspapers love to at tack. It's revoluntionary, and that's what we need: a revolu tion. All great artists are de clared enemies of th e sys tem. All publicity these days is good publicity, no matter how bad it is. All the stories about LSD just make kids want to go out and try it." Robert Mezey lit another cigarette and stuck it into the depths of his beard. "Where do I go to find the students around here?

Computers can't dream up things like Picturephone service, Telstar satellite, and some of the other advances in communications we have made. Of course, we depended on computers to solve some of the problems connected with their development But computers need absolutely clear and thorough instructions, which means a new and tougher discipline on the human intelligence.
