Silence Dogood Continued From Page 3 talented person that if he can not equal da vlncl, Jefferson, or Schweitzer by excelling In aU these fields, he can at least ap proximate them by seeing to it that he Is eauallv developed (or underdeveloped) in every area oi his life. Like da Vinci,. Jeffer son, and Schweitzer, he Is sym metrically balanced. But while they are complex hubs with spo kes radiating great distances in all directions, he remains simply a little round hub, a bit ripple- surfaced at best, somethlner like a prune. If the person shooting for this goal has no outstanding ability, the situation Is perhaps comic. But if that person has a speci fic talent and Insists upon sac rificing its fullest possible de velopment merely to remain “well-rounded,” then It amounts to the waste of one human life. The doctrine of the “well- rounded person” as It Is ban died about among us today Is a lie deliberately kept allre by those unable or unwilling to excel In one or more specific fields. Therefore, to put the present idea of “the well-rounded person” in temporary agreement with pre sent fact, merely take the phrase, “well-rounded person,” and for the term, “well-rounded,” sub stitute the term, “symetrlcally- stunted.” JOYNER'S ATHLETIC HOUSE 124 Tarboro St. Rocky Mount, N. C. SPORTING GOODS .THE DECREE. Poet Speaks On Campus Carolyn Klzer, author of two books of poems and editor of “Poetry Northwest”, gave afree reading from her works Tuesday, Nov. 23, in Garber Chapel. Miss Kizer opened Wesleyan’s fourth season as a member of the Poetry Circuit in North Carolina which is this year composed of nine colleges. The circuit brings younger poets to the campuses to discuss their works with stu dents and to give public readings. Reviewers have praised Miss Klzer’s two books, “The Un grateful Garden”, published In 1961, and “Knock Upon Silence”, published last September. John Holmes writing in “Herald Tri bune Books” described her first poems as “knife-clean in the reading, with a rare pitlliness toward the subject that will let none of it hide, none of it es cape the right word.” The Boston Sunday Herald headlined John L’Heureux’s re view of her second volume, “Pure Poetic Voice in Perfect Control.” He declared that this collection “proved what her ear lier ‘The Ungrateful Garden’ In- .timated—that she is one of the best poets writing today.” Miss Kizer began her writ ing career at the age of 17 in “The New Yorker”. Since then she has travelled in China, Japan and Europe; she spent the past academic year in Pakis tan as Poet-in-Resldence for the U. S. State Department. In 1959 she founded, with Rich ard Hugo and Nelson Bentley, the quarterly, “Poetry North west”; and is its editor. Miss Klzer is also a director of the Association of Literary Maga zines. She has published in “The Kenyon Review,” “Atlantic,” “The Hudson Review” and num erous other magazines. In ad dition td traveling on the Poetry Circuit, she is working on a novel. Miss Klzer also g:ave a lec ture In English Literature 25 concerning John Donne and the metaphysical poets. Dr. Jack E. Teagarden, Associate professor of English, commented on Miss Klzer by saying that she was one of the most stimulating of the poets presented in the poetry cir cuit, proven by the record break ing^ attendance at her lecture.
