Turner Reads Eliot's Poetry
An Episcopalian priest read "an unfamiliar but one of T. S. Eliot's more significant poems" yesterday at the Poetry Hour in the Music and Browsing Room of the Kansas Union.
Roy S. Turner, professor of religion and Episcopal students' chapain, read Eliot's "Choruses from the Rock" and called it the work of "the mature Eliot, the prophet speaking rather than the harbinger of doom" present in "The Wasteland," one of Eliot's dreary poems.
The Rev. Mr. Turner said "Choruses from the Rock" is Eliot's epic poem because it covers 20 centuries and interprets them as leading to a world blessed with God's mercy.
The poem begins with a scathing criticism of modern man, but ends with a beautiful doxology praising "O Light Invisible, we give thanks to Thy glory," the Rev. Mr. Turner said.
Man is questioned, "but you, have you built well? . . . What life have you if you have not life together" and implored "all that was good you must fight to keep."
Man is castigated, "Much is your reading, but not of God. Much is your building, but not of God," and alerted "Be prepared for the coming of the stranger." "Be prepared for him who knows how to ask questions," you who divide the stars into common and preferred, the Rev. Mr. Turner said.
The coming of God is prophesied,
"The man that is will shatter the man that pretends to be. And the choruses of the workers and the unemployed shall be relieved of their misery and self-created being, We build the meaning," the Rev. Mr Turner said.

Students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences can speed up the enrollment process if they meet with their advisers one-half day before enrolling.
They should arrange to meet their advisers in their offices, says Gilbert Ulmer, assistant dean of the college. The College will have no advisers on the floor of the Kansas Union during enrollment, he said.
Early Student-Adviser Meetings Are Urged

Louis Lee Williams, hit and run driver involved in the death of two KU students in December, was recharged last week with two counts of first degree manslaughter.
He had been previously charged with fourth degree manslaughter, but he was recharged after additional investigation by the County Attorney's office.
Hit-run Driver Final Week Views Recharged
Williams admitted at his preliminary hearing in County Court that he was the driver of the car that hit a small motorcycle just south of Lawrence on U.S. 59; early Dec. 10, 1961, killing John Allen Tamasi, 22, a senior in the School of Fine Arts, and his wife, Alice Lillian Wiegand Tamasi, 20, a junior in the College
At the time of the accident, the four passengers told Trooper Whitaker, they warned Williams about driving too fast and had asked him to slow down. They estimated his speed just before the accident at 80 miles an hour.
Williams, according to Highway Patrol Trooper Gary Whitaker, stopped his car long enough to remove the motorcycle from the front of the vehicle, then drove away. He was arrested about two and one half hours later in Ottawa. Four passengers in the car identified Williams as the driver.
Williams told officers he and his friends were en route to a club in Lawrence to celebrate his birthday.

Final week is breathing down our necks. For some students it will be their first final week, for others it will be their last. Whatever the case, final week always has been subject to the biggest complaints from KU students.
In an interview today by a reporter for the Daily Kansan, the question, "What do you think of final week at the University of Kansas—good or bad?" was asked of 12 different students on campus. From freshman to senior, the following replies were received:
STEVE RANDALL, WICHTA FRESHMAN, FELT THAT FROM what he had heard of final week, "It should be eliminated. The student has to begin studying three weeks in advance." He felt the university should find a better alternative. When asked if he could offer a better plan, he said, "The tests should be split up during the school year instead of throwing it all into one week. Do away with final week and have three week tests during the year."
Another freshman, Jan Bowen of Hays, said she had heard it was a "hell week where everyone lives on no-doz." She said it was "the fear of all freshmen."
When sophomores were asked the same question, the voice of experience spoke. Aletha Curtis, Falls Church, Va., said, "I definitely feel that final week is handled well. It is not much of a strain. All you have to do is give yourself a good critical review."
Susan Condell, El Dorado junior, said, "Get rid of final week. It is not a true measure of a person's knowledge." Sam Stone, also an El Dorado junior, agreed with Susan and added that "a three day break should be given students to provide ample time to study. There should be no more than two tests given in one day."
MARY MISCHER, JUNIOR TRANSFER FROM TROY, OHIO, said she felt two or more tests on one day should be eliminated. She said the examinations are good but, "a better schedule should be arranged. Final week is very nerve-racking."
A lone senior, Jim Meyers of Kansas City, Kan., feels that "by the time final week arrives, you either know it or you don't. Cramming doesn't help," he said.
