Noted New England Poet Robert Fropt Holds Theory That Verse Should Be Symbol of Life By Sally Woodhull "Every poem is a symbol of life itself," says Robert Frost, genial New England poet appear ing on campus under the spon sorship of the English depart ment. In an interview yesterday af ternoon, the poet expounded his theory of poetry. "Every poem has something of conformity," he said. "If it hasn't it's nothing. You conform to the traditional in poetry, to the meter, rhyme scheme, to the form in general." He went on to explain the parallel between this conformity and the necessity for conformity which everyone meets in life, conformity to college life, to home life, to marriage, and so on. The problem in writing poetry, according to Frost, is to fit the feeling or idea to be expressed into the form chosen without compromising it. The same prob- Campus Red Cross Drive Slated To Op Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of next week have been set as dates for the campus Red Cross drive, according to Bill Shuford, Graham Memorial di rector and chairman of the stu dent drive. At a planning meeting yester day afternoon, Shuford announ ced a goal of $2,000 to be collect ed trom Carolina students as a part of the $75 million national goal.

Every student on campus is to be contacted to contribute to the drive, Shuford said. "However," he went on, "in organizing the campaign we are making every effort to contact each individual Political Groups Make Plans For Nominations to Councils Joint Nominations Are Aim of SP7 CP In the face of opposition to a plan calling for non-partisan membership in the Men's council, the Student party yesterday pas sed a resolution to meet with Campus party officials and other interested organizations in an at tempt to draw up a non-political ticket for judicial candidates. According to SP member Bill Mackie, University party mem bers have declined to participate in this plan. Mackie said that UP members have expressed the o-: pinion that there is insufficient time to work out the plan to be put into effect before spring elec tions. SP chairman Gran Childress said yesterday,-"The only way to have an unbiased judiciary is to have the members elected to of fice on a non-partisan basis." Other SP spokesmen maintained that if other parties and organi zations are willing the plan could be worked out, with a plan similar for Women's council, be fore elections in April. r The SP chairman called atten tion to an editorial appearing in (See SP-CP, page 4) compromised is met in life, he said.

Recognition will be given to the dormitory, fraternity, or sorority which contributes the largest a- mount to the . drive, and also to those whose members contribute 100 per cent. UP Screening Boards To Judge Candidates The University party has set up two screening boards of pres ent and former members of the Men's and Student councils who will hear all interested students who wish to run for council po sitions at 3 o'clock Monday after noon. The boards will carefully check qualifications, interest and consc ientiousness of all persons who desire nominations, after which it will make recommendations to the UP steering committee when nominations for the councils are to be determined. "This board has been set up in line with the University party goal of a better, non-partisan student government," UP Chair man' Thurman Williams stated yesterday. "The party feels that the es tablishment of a group composed of members of the three politi cal parties, as one of the other parties has suggested," Williams continued, "vould lead to in volved procedure and behind-the- scenes maneuvers which should be avoided, 'f The UP is 'always willing to (See Up, page, 4) said, "The greatest thing of all for everybody is understanding. What understanding means you must think out for yourself." Although he has often been called a nature poet, Frost in sists thai he has written not more than tvo nature poems. "I'm a portrait painter," he says, stating that SHch poems as "Birches," and "Stopping by Woods," often callednature poems, are actually moreinvolved with human prob lems! Fost has a small farm in Fleida, in addition to his place ofseveral acres in Vermont, and h says he enjoys "playing wound with oranges and grape- 'ruit " it's all rather novel to me, since for many years I knew nothing but New Hampshire and Vermont." Earlier in the afternoon, Frost spoke to members of several classes in creative . writing and contemporary poetry.

Stripper Dunked By LSU Students Louisiana State University, March 4 (UP) Louisiana State University students to day gave the stripteaser dancer "Stormy" a dunk in a nearby lake. The rumpus was stirred up a few weeks ago when the Louisiana State campus mag azine ran some pictures of the strip tease dancer. University authorities , ban ned the magazine and its edi tor, Pat Mclntyre, quit to run for president of the student body. Yesterday Mclntyre with drew from the race because the sultry dancer offered to win votes for him by doing her stuff on the campus. However, his withdrawal from the race didn't stop the burlesque dancer. She came to the campus today and, as promised, started into her rou tine. The students gathered in droves. They watched, they cheered. Then, the unexpected happened. Quicker than the time it takes to unfasten a snap hook, they picked up Stormy and tossed her into a nearby lake. New Orleans, March 4 (UP Striptease dancer Stacie Lau rence arrived here by plane tonight from the LSU campus where , students dunked her in a lake. The girl who is known as "Stormy" was met by her per sonal physician who found that she had no broken bones but plenty of bruises. One foot was scraped, four of her bottom teeth were lose, she had a swollen lower lip and her right eye was discolored.

The bill not only passed, bwt it passed in the face of a promise by Student Body President Tom Eller that he would veto ; the measure if it was approved as was. Debate raged for almost (two hours, the last part of which was devoted to numerous votes to either bring the question to a vote or to recommit the bill on the grounds that as amended by Leary it was not effective. I Four Town Districts The measure breaks the tpwn men s voting area into four dis tricts, in contrast to the five pro vided for in the Mackie-Sherrill bill which was reported out of the Elections committee witjh a 4 vote. The second most controversial subject of the evening was the judicial set-up constitutional a- mendment which was amended in committee to leave appellate jurisdiction with the Student council. Law student Bill Crisp's pro fessors would have been proud of him if they had attended the egislative session, for it. was he who got the bill passed in true oratic style after obtaining the privilege of the floor. Eller and Lowenslein But at approximately 11:30 ast night the bill was voted un der reconsideration and thrown back into committee after Presi dent Tom Eller and Al Lowen- stein both obtained the floor to protest the action. Along with it was tossed the original Eller bill of several wdeks ago which would abolish the .ap pellate jurisdiction of the Student council. Eller first presented the bill to the Legislature in his State of the Campus message last month, and brought it up again last night as a substitute to the bill which was passed early in the evening. Law, Med Courts Another hotly-debated bill which was passed last night was the constitutional amendment to legally establish honor violation courts for the Law and Medical schools. Another law student, Mike Carr, obtained the floor to pre sent the school's side on the' is sue. His stand was attacked by the vociferous Crisp, and the bat tle of the neophyte lawyers was on. Crisp may have taken the leg islators by storm on the previ ( See LEGISLATURE, page 4) Special Bus May Run for Holidays Possibilities of running a special student bus to and from New York City or Washington for spring holidays are being in vestigated by the Graham Memorial travel agency, according to Director Bob Watson. Arrangements for the trip will be made to suit the convenience of the majority of students de siring to take advantage of the offer, Watson said, and anyone interested should contact him at Graham Memorial any afternoon between 2 and 6 o'clock.

Officials of Carolina Trailways, who will run the special, have said that they are willing to load at any spot on campus agreeable to the students, and set as desti nation any place in either New!
