Soviet gives change of pace
By JIM BATES
Reviewer
The reading given by the Russian poet Evgenei Vinkovuk last night, was in many parts of the world.
It was, first of all, a change of pace for the United States, outside the Soviet Union before speaking at universities and conferences in Europe and India, this is his first visit to the United

Even if the place wasn't a change for Vinokuru, the reading itself would be. Unlike most Russian poets, he very rarely reads his poems in public.
reading, since Vinokurov speaks no English. The three poems he read had to be translated by Gerald Mikkelson, associate professor of Slavic Languages and languages of Slavic
Mikkelson also read a number of other Vinokuro poems before Vinokuro read. Copies of some of these translations were given to the audience.
Review
Before reading, Vinokurov apologized for the way the reading had to be conducted although it really wasn't necessary.
It may be as Vinokurov said: poetry is

untranslatable and, unlike music or prose,
can't be exported from one culture to another. Nevertheless, enough of the poetry
in the book can be translated to make the reading worthwhile.
Vinokurov said he didn't think a writer had to sit down and write a line a day. Instead, he quoted Lec油 Tolstoy, who said he wrote only when he was unable not to write.
VINOKUROV, 50, HAS NEVER been very well-known in the United States. He has never gotten the publicity given, say, Evutshenko. Vinokurov's poetry, however, which is often concerned with World War II, continually becomes better known in America.
Carcaret Press will soon publish the first collections of his works published in America, and there could be more to come.
Answering questions after his reading, Vinokurok said his poetry usually began with a metaphoric set out to write about any particular thing but just waited until a line came to him. Then the poem would write itself, he said.

**THERE IS NO SUCH THING as a typical Vinokurov poem any more than there is such a thing as a typical Browning poem or Frost poem or Elot poem. But maybe the following example, despite the fact that it suffers from translation and that the character throws the ball out of place, will give sense dear of Vinokurov's style:
I've had advice from everyone I know.
It was bestowed most substly and sately.
And all I did was nod my head: "That's so,
very good." . . . You're right, old fellow,
absolutely!"
One finger stiffly raised,
they'd cluck me tight
by the lapel.
"I'm grateful beyond measure."
I never argued:
"ewww. Yes, thank you...
Quite."
It costs me nothing and it gives th pleasure.
It costs me nothing and it gives them pleasure.
"I do agree . . . I do . . . That's really clever!"
Without a doubt! ... Of course... I'll think it over . . . "
The harder did they try to shape my mind.
The more to be myself was I inclined.

the Christmas Blahs. (kris mas blaz)
1029 Mass.
DESCRIPTION: a highly contagious social disease reaching epidemic proportions during the last 30 shopping days before Christmas (children are immune).
SYMPTOMS: Indecision, loss of patience, muttering under one's breath, and tired, aching feet from shuffling from department store to department store searching for a different and unique present (instead of giving the same old gifts at exorbitant prices).
KNOWN REMEDIES: Dependent upon geographical location. In Lawrence, Haas Imports, through its merchandise purchases from worldwide outlets, affords the Christmas shopper a variety of choices on quality items. A short walk for a unique gift at a bargain price. Stores like Haas Imports are making the Christmas Blahs a vanishing species.

Would a Two-Year Scholarship Worth Up to $10,000 Interest You?
An Opportunity for 450 Highly Qualified Sophomores
If you're the kind of person we're looking for, you've already started to think about what you'd like to do after graduation.
If a scholarship leading to a career as an Officer in the U.S. Navy appeals to you, you'll find this message well worth reading.
Two-Year Full Scholarships
The opportunity is very attractive. If you're selected, we'll provide full tuition during your Junior and Senior years, pay for your books and educational fees, and give you $100 a month for 10 months each year to help cover your living expenses.

There are two different programs you can apply for. The first is the Nuclear Propulsion Candidate Scholarship Program (NPCS). To qualify, you must have one semester each of calculus and physics (or two semesters of calculus) and have a B-minus average or better. It is open to men only.
The other program is the Two-year NROTC Scholarship Program. The only difference in the qualifications is that you must have a C average (2.3 out of 4.0) or better. It is open to men and women.
For both programs, you'll need to pass Navy qualification tests. And, quite frankly, it will help if your major is math, physical science, or engineering.
The Curriculum
After you're accepted, you begin with six weeks of training next summer at the Naval Science Institute at Newport, R.I. During your final two years of college, you take several required courses in math, physics, and Naval Science. You also go on a summer cruise prior to your Senior year. (Of course, you're paid for all your summer duty.)
A Challenging Job
Upon graduation, you are commissioned as an Officer in the U.S. Navy. And from then on your career can take you anywhere in the world, in a variety of fulfilling jobs.
Those who apply for the NPCS Program have a particular challenge ahead of them: The Navy's Nuclear Power Program. Not everyone who applies makes it: the men in charge of more than two thirds of our country's nuclear reactors must be a very special breed. Final acceptance into the Navy's Nuclear Power Program is determined during your Senior year after an interview in Washington with the Director, Division of Naval Reactors.
A two-year scholarship worth up to $10,000. A unique opportunity to serve as an Officer in the U.S. Navy. You'll want to act now. The deadline for acceptance is May 1, 1976—and once the quotas are filled, you'll have lost your chance to earn yourself a scholarship.
If you think you've got what it takes to qualify, fill out and mail the coupon below, contact either your local Naval Recruiting District or the Professor of Naval Science on your campus, or call 800-841-8000, toll-free, anytime.
