Speaker 4 ' ' ' - 1 $ X - " f ' - ' ' S -i $ ? i - jj FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1962 Spender Contrasts Concepts Of Poetry By JEAN IE BROWNE Stephen Spender, a tall, dynam ic, whitehaired Englishman, spoke of "organic poetry," "modern po ets," and "intellcctualization," j Wednesday in Carroll Hall. Spender, a leading poet, essay ist, novelist and present editor of the English magazine "Encounter," defined "organic poetry" as the "perfect fusion of experience and language. The poet feels at one with poem. No mental shadow (aUs,betwecn ,the words expressed and the feeling for these words." In many of Shakespeare's Son nets, "feeling is- immediately clothed in the language." Contrast Made Spender contrasted this organic poetry with poetry which is the "straining of memory" of a poet's past. For example, Tennyson's "In Memorium" is a "word painting," in which "intellectually chosen" words are used to suggest a pic ture. This "intellectual, cerebral poetry," a result of "intellectualiz ation" is the "conscious aware ness" of the poet to his writing. "Modern poets are doomed to be intellectuals. Intellectualiza tion ... is inescapable in the present situation. Modern poets have had to deal with the pre occupations of people living in a world of industry and science. At the beginning of the Indus trial Revolution, poets turned from "oreanic concrete . thinking 'to "scientific, abstract thinking," and reevaluated "the once primary place of imagination, in life, as well as poetry." If imagination is re garded as secondary, there is a "tendency for poetry to become academic."

Starting about 9:30, in an hour the CJQ had drawn a full crowd of listeners, many having heard the music on the street while passing. Phil Forger, the manager of the Tempo, happily remarked that he was drawing a Saturday crowd cn a Tuesday. The evening was high lighted by Kenny Malone, a Navy band drummer, who sat in with group and gave a long, furious drum solo. - The group is composed of four UNC students; Jack Warren lead er and drummer, Richard Vitek, vibes; d EHord, flute; John King, bass. Progressive jazz is perhaps a misnomer for the music that the group plays which, although it is similar to the soft, delicate tones of the Modern Jazz Quartet, has a kind of cocktail lounge effect through the use of jazz arrange ments of popular songs. This produces the commercial jazz sound not unlike the Ahmad (Continued on Pae -Three) . .Dormitory Editorship iCandidates Endorsed Chuck Wrye and Jim Clotfelter received Publications Board en dorsement Wednesday for co-editorship of the Daily Tar Heel.

Read Two Poems Spender concluded by reading two of his poems: "Beethoven's Death Mask;" and "The Generous Days," which are "days when pe ople are young, equally divided be tween life and death." Currently a poet-in-residence at the University of Virginia, Stephen Spender is the author of "Poems". published in 1933: the much herald ed "Collected Poems," published in 1951; "Backward Sun," a novel; "Trial of a Judge," a poetical drama; "World Within World," an autobiography; and many other works. In the 1940's, Spender co edited with Cyril Connelley the famous "Horizon's Magazine."

Weather and Warmer Complete UPI Wire Service More Faculty Advisors Are Suggested Plans to: establish a Social Sci ence library in each dormitory, containing all the texts needed for Modern Civilization I and II, appoint presidential advisors to work in special areas, expand the number of faculty advisors, provide a transportation sys tem for the dormitories now being built to prevent the Carolina cam pus from being "split," were all announced as parts of the Uni versity Party's platform at its meeting last night. Advisors Before expanding the system of faculty advisors, the party suggests that a detailed tudy of the system at Carolina and other schools be made. When the study is complete, the party feels that an increase in the number of advisors (especially in the General College) should be made. The UP also wants special presi dential advisors to be appointed that would work in dormitories to speed action on student government problems in the dormitories and to coordinate IDC and student gov ernment activities. The advisors would work with fraternities to pro vide a liason with the IFC. The party also suggests that ad visors for social activities, all cam pus weekends, cultural activities, national and international affairs, married and graduate students and faculty and administration be ap pointed. Tar Heel Column The platform calls for a Student Government column in the DTH that would make announcements and pertain to all phases of gov ernment activity. The party also favors the ex pansion of the Intermural Manager salary program. Physical Research The establishment of a Student Committee for Physical Research and Development is advocated tnat would work with the administration in the improvement of dorm social facilities, parking problems, tele phone inadaquacies, laundrymats. sidewalks, police protection, and the procurement of an Intcr-Dor-mitory Council Hut. Race Relations Subject Of New Book Due Soon The relation of white and Ne gro leadership in an urban center in the Middle South is the subject of a book by M. Elaine Burgess of the Woman's College faculty to be published Saturday by UNC Press. "'Negro Leadership in a South ern City" examines the nature and function of Negro leadership in a Piedmont town of 80,000 population, and presents Negro achievements in dealing with white leaders over issues of standard Southern dis unity. Largely concerned with Negro policy and action in the movement toward desegregation of the schools and other public facilities, the Bur gess book illuminates the high de gree of success of Negro efforts. Change In Leaders The book introduces the thought that although strongly opposed on some issues, the city is character ized by a willingness to negotiate. As a result of this the character of Negro leadership is itself chang ing. "Minority leaders," Dr. Bur gess writes, "are now mobilizing the resources of their community for the attainment of goals to which a general commitment has already been made within our society. "What has occurred in" Cresent City (a fictionalized name of the town) can be expected to occur in other communities as Negroes make additional gains in their bid for a strategic place in the com munity power structure." aries
