Life Is His Inspiration Says Langston Hughes
He Began Writing Poetry While a Student in High School
Reading poetry in a languorous tone of voice. Langerst Hughes, Negro poet, entertained an audience in Fraser the last night. Mr. Hughes, though young, has made his life make his poetic mark. He's a hard-earned poet but continually faced hardships.
Traveling in Europe, going to Africa on a freighter, living in Mexico and always combating the problems which confront one of the prejudiced race, are the things which have characterized the poetry by joy, sorrow and pathos.
"When did I begin writing poetry, is the question so often asked me," Mr. Hughes commented. My first experience was soon after leaving Law School, moved to Lincoln, Ill., where I finished grade school. At the time of the echelon of class officers, I was made the poet. Immediately I went home and began to write poetry in the school, I wrote about them. Everyone liked the poetry, so I was encouraged to keep writing it. Every month for two years I wrote poetry for the high school magazine and for any published until I was a tutor."
Hughes Writes of Travels
Mr. Hughes has written extensively about his travels and experiences. While looking for a job in New York on a stainer, he was inspired to write a book. The experience Carribean was the inspiration for "Sunset in the West Indies." The hard times, while working to get enough money to finish college, helped sad poetry such as "The Road."
Mr. Hughes stopped his narrative long enough to tell how he wrote his poetry. "The first three lines come easily, generally," he said, "but other times I have to work for all the lines. The second line is better, the poetry than is ever printed, but my habit is to always write down whatever comes to my mind whenever it comes."
Tells of Prejudice Against his Race
In the second part of his program, Mr. Hughes told of the prejudice against hsa race found in Africa, Cuba and elsewhere, and he labor in some of these places." Mr. Hughes said, "which is really slavery, because you are not supposed to tribes each year and if the tribe can't pay, men are sent to work it because they have a place" he's feeling toward such situations.
"All over the world," he continued, "wherever whites men have exploited him. They have exploited monotony of running an elevator and of other blind alley jobs which are the result of this exploitation."
Little Future for Negroes
Little Failure for Negroes
"We many colored people graduating from the University," Mr. Hughes commented, "there is no future for them excee in the professions, such as medicine."
The poem causing the deepest thought and feeling from the audience was “Cross,” the last two lines of it, which expresses a desire to die. Being neither white nor black.”
Musical numbers during the evening were given by Ehilei Love, fia32 and Jerry Ramsdahl, who played "Polarisate," (Chopin), and "Etude in Octaves," (Campbell-Timpel). Nicholas Gerver played a violin composed by Marianne Westerholt, (Lab), accompanied by Miss Lose.
Professor Allen Crafton, of the department of speech and dramatic art, introduced the speaker. After the program, Rhodamnithi, the poetry club, invited him to attend the Uniwersity's evening the entertainment was spent with Alpha Kappa Alpha.

Women Challenge 'Address' System of Vote Checking
Anne Kent Acts as Leader for Group Which Questions Legality of Election
NEW VOTE POSSIBLE
At noon today 375 women had voted while the total number of women voting in last year's election was 400.
375 Vote by Noon
Objecting to the method of recording of the address on the ballot of the mayor, the governor, it legal, according to the WSGA. rule which states that "selection of officers, representatives and class officers, are elected in a lot system." a group of protesters asked legal advice this afternoon at 12 noon for a ballot lot system, which closed a second afternoon at 5.
Members of the W.S.G.A. election council used this method of marking the ballots, for the purpose of checking, in order to prevent combines, and Miss Agnes Husband, dean of women, approved the method. As Miss Husband graduated, she joined Kansas College Deans of Women, the matter could not be referred to her.
The election committee of the executive council decided that by grouping candidates together, they could tell whether or not a combine between any of the groups houses together.
The W.S.G.A constitution provides or use of the Australian ballot system, and the definition of this system, quoted by the protesters, says, "No voter shall place any mark upon his ballot tending to identify him as a person for any mark upon his ballot tending to identify that it had been cast by him, or shall divulge, while in or near the polling place, how he has voted; and that no election officer or any other public official should have discovered shall in any way disclose how any person has voted."
'May Identify Some'
The council cannot identify the individual ballots of women in large rooming houses or organized houses by this method of recording the addresses of the women to the protesting women, it is easy to check the ballots of those women who room by ones or two in Lawrence homes. The protesting group, spokesman of which is Anne Kent, e32, comms both security and non-sorcerary women.
"We promised the organized houses, through their presidents, a method of communication that continues, when they pleaded their help to prevent them, and this use of addresses is our way of checking," said Linda G. Burch, executive council of the W.S.G.A. secretary.
