Whitman Discussed at Forum
A two-volume set of the writings of Walt Whitman which is being compiled by a KU professor and a Drake University professor will be published soon.
"Every biographer of Walt Whitman speaks of the litter of manuscripts on the floor of the front room of Whitman's house," said Edward F. Grier, associate professor of English.
"It is upon this litter that I am working," he said.
Prof. Grier addressed the Humanities Forum last night about the Whitman project.
His duty is to find and edit the prose manuscripts and notebooks of Whitman and to provide the fragmentary prose which explains the printed material.
The first step in the process is to find the manuscripts themselves,

Prof. Grier said. The process involves corresponding with many libraries and individuals all over the world who might possess some of the material, he said.
"Often I 'have gotten only the photostats of the manuscripts and not the real thing," he said.
"This means that I cannot accurately examine the paper or the type of medium used for the writing. I am trying to group the papers chronologically and I must rely on the paper and the handwriting employed."
The accurate transcriptions of the manuscripts into a printed text is the next step in the process, Prof. Grier said.
The case was slated for the January session but postponed so more research could be done.
The case involving the validity of the freshman election ballots has been postponed until the next session of student court, Feb. 14.
"There are many problems involved in this since the flyspecks can not always be separated from the commas or the pin holes from the periods," he said.
Ballot Court Case Postponed
"IT'S GETTING close to finals and we felt that we would be too busy to prepare the case adequately," he said.
Jed Hurley, Wichita second year law student and one of the student court judges, explained why the case was postponed.
Reuben McCormack, Abilene freshman and a losing candidate for freshman class president, requested an injunction in the December session of the court to prohibit Kirk
Cottingham, Newton senior and ASC election committee chairman, from destroying the ballots.
McCornack claimed that the ballots had not been counted properly. The court issued the injunction and served it to Cottingham. Cottingham later said that he would abide by the injunction.
LEE WOODARD, Wichita second year law student, said that Cottingham would have to present evidence in the next court session that the ballots were properly counted.
"If Cottingham doesn't present sufficient evidence, then the court will probably appoint a special committee to recount the ballots," he said. "The committee would be made up of ASC members."

"The notebooks have been the most interesting part of the project so far. One of the most striking features of the notebooks is Whitman's complete alienation with the American society when they were written. There is also an amazing lack of emotion in the writing for a poet," Prof. Grier said.
