Shulenberger on Shulenberger Delights Many at Poetry Hour
The room quieted as the tall, thin man took one last drink of coffee and opened his book.
By Lani Mortenson
"Since this is my own poetry I will have to read from the text." Arvid Shulenberger, associate professor of English, said at yesterday's Poetry Hour.
"A poet is always afraid that he will quote from a wrong version if he tries to recite his own works from memory."
Prof. Shulenberger has had many of his poems published. Recently a volume of his works has been printed. He also has written and published a novel.
He put his left hand in his trouser pocket and lowered his long lanky frame onto the speaker's stand. The other hand was kept busy turning pages between the short poems which he read.
He read a tragic poem with an unusual ending: A little girl was in a field during harvest when the
farmers who were working suddenly heard a scream.
They ran to the source of the sound and found the body of the little girl. She had been killed by the threshing machine. The men immediately burned the machine as if it had been the sole cause for the incident.

"Yes, that was a true story." Prof. Shulenberger answered a question from the audience in the Music and Browsing Room of the Union.
Quiet laughter rippled from the listeners as he read the short poems with which he closed the hour.
Suddenly it was over. The room was silent for an instant before the applause broke out. Prof. Shulenberger closed his books and turned to leave.
Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.-George Bernard Shaw.
A poet can survive everything but a misprint—Oscar Wilde

Maser to Leave
(Continued from page 1)
seum was in poor shape, due to the confusion born of the administrative change.
He said he tried to renovate the museum and tie it in with the classroom work of the art students, making it a laboratory in which they could see applied, in all the various materials of art, the ideas they gained from their academic studies
"The museum used to be an awful hole, you know. It was filled with nothing but quilts and bric-a-brac in glass cases," remarked Prof. Maser.
Once he had started the integration of classroom work with the museum, Prof. Maser said he felt the major part of the work had been done.
"NOW I CAN sit back and watch it work. So I thought perhaps it would be time to move on." he said
He tried to explain the mixed emotions he felt at leaving the University and the, work he has done here since 1953.
"The Germans have a saying for it," he said. "Laughing with one eye, crying with the other. That's how I feel."
