Bayes “Porpoise” Full
Of Fine Artful Poetry
BY ANN POE
One is tempted to buy Ro
nald H. Bayes’ latest book of
poetry andprose-poems, sim
ply because he is St, Andrews*
'writer-in-residence’. “Por-
pose”, a poem in four parts
and 32 books, is never so
limiting. It’s a painting of life;
it’s a ‘ ‘mural” containing the
disturbing aspects of a pain-
ftil existence through which
the reader can discover the
richness and fullness of his
own life. At times, Bayes
may focus in on the Japanese
or Irish cultures yet ultimat
ely his verse transcends the
limitations of nationalities and
of time. “Porpoise” is abook
for today as well as tomor
row; for the student of poetry
and of life.
Bayes is moving and evol
ving. He plays with words;
manipulating them into strong,
tight images. “Man Drowns 3
Kids, Kills Self In Keelung
Rlver/(‘papa,/please don't!
Please let me go, I will be a
good boy. I promise. . ,’)”
Bayes does not pamper his
readers with nice, trite imag
es; he, instead disrupts their
safe, pleasant world, “c.i.a./
c.i.a., how many iimocent did
you torture today?” Cynicism
can carelessly be drawn from
his poetry but so can hope.
The hope that man will learn
from his disasters; that
through death, he will realize
the full potentials of life. ‘ ‘Re-
fugees!/The collapse/of the
prepared face/when we re
cognize/one another.” Noth-
% is stilted, static or sta
gnant in this poem. The in
wardly strong man is set a-
^rift in this world to exper
ience all that he can; to con
stantly be in search of a
better existence and never to
become satisfied.
The manner in which his
crisply flowing words are

“Sunday’s outdoor concert
by the St. Andrews College
Band will provide music for
young and old alike,” says
George Weimer, director of
the 30 piece band scheduled
tn nerform at 2 p.m. on the De-
Tamble Library plaza. In case
of rain - Avinger Auditorium.
The program, designed to
entertain people with a variety
of tastes, will open with a
voc^ and instrumental ar
rangement of the popular,
“American Pie,” by Don Mc
Lean, to be followed by the
love theme from “The God
father,” by Nino Rota.
Later in the program two
electric guitars will be in
cluded in a rendition of “Je
sus Christ Superstar”. For
“Stars In a Velvety Sky,” for
euphonium and band, John
Ware, junior from Port Ar
thur, Texas, will be featur
ed as soloist.
To climax the concert Wei-
mer has chosen Floyd E.
Werie’s arrangement of Duke
Ellington tunes entitled, “An
Ellington Portrait.” The
group includes such favorites
as “Mood Indigo,” “I Let A
Song Go Out of My Heart,”
and “Sophisticated Lady,”
Says Weimer, “Last year’s
outdoor concert proved such
a success that we are pre
senting another this year pri
marily for the enjoyment of
the people of the Laurinburg
and surrounding commimities,
A formal concert of serious
music will be scheduled later
this spring,”

cessfully uses the art of
spacing and punctuation to fur
ther express his ideas.
There’s nothing superficial in
the entire poem; there’s a
reason and meaning behind
each capitalization and ab-
b r e Vi a tion. He intersperses
his work with quotes from
Pound, Eliot, Williams, etc.
The reader may feel inti
midated by his frequent allu
sions to history, Uterature and
geography yet there is so
much to be found and gained
within the poem even by the
most ignorant of readers,
“porpolse can be enjoyed and
appreciated from even a brief
reading; though it wiU be loved
and treasured after a closer
and deeper look into its iii-
ternal structure, such as his
choice and placement of
phrases within the poem as
a whole.

could refrain from some form
of aid only at the cost of
damage to its image abroad,

clause, which says that the
Geneva agreements of 1954
and 1962 will be in effect, per
mits continued military aid.
In the light of all these fac
tors, it seems highly unlikely
that military funding could
pay for reconstuction aid, and
the cost of reconstruction
must be added to the total.
Aside from reconstruction
and military outlays,
economic aid and the Food for
Peace program are the major
continuing costs for US policy
in Southeast Asia.
For FY 74, the budget
request for foreign aid is $732
million with the “bulk” of the
money slated for “the friendly
governments of Southeast
Asia,” as the budget descrip
tion puts it.

Dr. McHardy presented

problems and principles be
hind the bible translation in
which he has been involved
since World War 11 He illus
trated how differences in
time, geography, and out
side influences ccombined to
make the language of the
King James Bible obscure to
modern readers. The changes
in language and usage over
350 years, h# demonstrated,
are considerable. He went on
to provide several examples.
Some of these were the
changing meaning of
“shelter”, which in wartime
England meant something en
tirely different from what it
meant to the authors of KJV.
Also, “Prevent” meant to go
before, not to prohibit; to let
meant both “forbid and
“allow”; “by and by” meant
immediately.
