'Poetry Changes To Arouse Public Response'
Dr. Weinberg, now working at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, N. J., spoke on "Changing Psychologies and the Art of Poetry."
"In every age, the poet writes for what he thinks is the emotional reaction of the reader," Dr. Bernard Weinberg, specialist in literary criticism, said in a humanities lecture in Strong Auditorium Tuesday.
"The essence of the art of poetry does not change from century to century, but the emotions and passions of the audience do change. The poet must create a new form, structure and emotional effect to arouse the feelings of the audience of the period" he said.
Dr. Weinberg illustrated the marked differences in poetry from one century to another by reading and commenting on four French sonnets, written in different centuries. Each sonnet concentrated on the common themes of love, death, fear and frustration. The impressions received by the audience differed in each period.

"In every generation the poet writes for an audience essentially like himself. He plays on the readers emotions so that his convictions will become a reality to the reader and make an impression on his mind," Dr. Weinberg explained.
The contemporary poet uses a symbol instead of a direct statement in hopes of touching a part of the soul no poets have touched before.
The poet matches his style with the psychological climate of his time. During the Renaissance, the poet wrote only of the basic emotions. Later he used subtle shading and effects comprehended by feelings instead of reason. Dr. Weinberg said.

The Last Tackle, honoring the senior football players who will play their last game Saturday against Missouri, will be held at 4:30 p.m. Thursday south of Allen Field House.
"The artist writes for youth of his time, and from them he expects a maximum of response," Dr. Weinberg said. "To study and appreciate art, we must be the historians of the present. We must first understand ourselves and then understand the world. The arts of today will contribute to our education."
The football players to be honored will be; John Drake, Attica; Frank Black, Lawrence; Don Pfutzenreuter, Carlsbad, N.M.; Ted Rohde, Hubbard, Neb.; Don Martin, Larned; Galen Wahlmeier, Jennings, and Bill Bell, Hickman Mills, Mo., all seniors.
The event will follow a scrimmage and will also consist of a pep rally for the Missouri football game.

Easton Not Offered Job At Indiana, Director Says
Indiana University's athletic office today confirmed a statement by their director that KU track coach Millard E. (Bill) Easton did not receive an offer from the Big Ten school.
In a telephone conversation with a University Daily Kansas reporter this morning, an Indiana athletic office spokesman repeated the statement of director Frank E. Allen that there is "no truth whatsoever" in Mr. Easton's report that Indiana had made him an "attractive offer."
"I haven't heard the true story on Indiana's denial of an opening," he said, "but we're anxious to
A. C. (Dutch) Lonborg, director of athletics at KU, said this morning that Mr. Easton is stopping in Chicago and Indianapolis on his return from the NCAA title meet in East Lansing, Mich.
Mr. Allen was not available for comment, but the spokesman said that he "certainly has not met with Bill Easton during the past month at least."
have Mr. Easton remain at KU and I'm hoping that Mr. Allen's statement is true."
The Lawrence Journal-World reported Tuesday that Mr. Easton had told Lawrence friends that Indiana made "an offer attractive enough that I can't refuse to discuss it although I'm happy at Kansas."
In an Associated Press story this morning Mr. Allen was reported as saying that "there's no truth in it whatsoever. I know lots of boys think well of him. But there's no vacancy at Indiana and it therefore wouldn't pay to talk to him."
Mr. Faston is an alumnus of Indiana. He has been track coach at the University for 10 years.

19 ASC Members Of 49 At Meeting
By JIM BANMAN (Assistant Telegraph Editor of
the Daily Kansan)
Only 19 of 49 members attended an All Student Council meeting Tuesday—not enough for a quorum in either house. But this did not prevent an unofficial and heated debate from developing.
ASC Sends Wire To Al Oerter
It began over the proposed "Meet Your ASC" visits to dormitories and houses to explain the Council's function to students.
The All Student Council Monday sent a telegram to Al Oerter, KU student and new Olympic discus record holder, in Melbourne congratulating him on his victory.
Another wire is being prepared by the Council and Jim Schultz, Salina junior, president, asks that anyone who wants to have his name included call Bill Breyfogle, Olathe senior, VI 3-7922.
The deadline for obtaining appropriations requests from the All Student Council is Dec. 7.
Social, service and administrative organizations who want money should give an application to Larry Gutsch, Salina senior, chairman of the Finance and Auditing Committee by that date for hearing and approval by the Senate.
The ASC has made no plans for Christmas caroling Schultz said.
However, if students feel the Council should organize a Christmas program or if they feel plans of other campus organizations are insufficient they should ask the Council to do something.
AWS To Revise Its Constitution
The appointment of Sue Frederick, Glendale, Mo., junior, as chairman of a committee to revise the constitution was announced at an Associated Women Students Senate meeting Tuesday.
The committee has not been chosen. The present constitution was accepted in 1951. The Senate also proposed fire drills in organized women's houses.
The AWS House of Representatives will meet at 4 p.m. Thursday in the Student Union.
You Can Sound Off At This Meeting
Voice your opinion about the seating policy at basketball games and next year's football games at an open hearing to be held by the Student Athletic Board in the Activities Lounge of the Student Union at 4 p. m. Thursday.
The hearings are being held to ge student sentiment. The committee will then incorporate suggestions into a resolution to be presented to the All Student Council.
Photo Session Tonight
A live model photography practice session, with emphasis on portraits and glamour photography, will be held at 7:30 p.m. today in 250 Flint Hall. All students who have cameras are invited.
Jim Schultz, Salina junior and ASC president, did not call roll, and dismissed the Council into four "buzz groups" to discuss the visits. The groups later presented their opinions on what should be discussed at the visits.
What Powers?
Everything went smoothly until the big question, "just what powers does the ASC possess," loomed.
Larry Loftus, Olathe third-year law student, said the best way 40 present the workings of the Council was to take a stand on a controversial subject and support the popular opinion. He mentioned what he called the injustice of the $25 fine for not registering a student auto within 24 hours.
Ralph Varnum, Kansas City, Mo., junior, said members of the Council helped pass the fine. This raised the questions as to whether the Council was represented in the decision and if the ASC actually voiced opinions of students.
Schultz said if the Council feels the students do not want the rule it is up to the Council to voice that opposition. He said the Council was lacking in this approach. Many of this year's resolutions have been his ideas not those of the council, he said. The Council or himself, Schultz said, has not shown interest in legislation in many areas of importance this year.
At this point the meeting broke up when a motion was proposed, and a point of order called for the tell-tale roll call. The matter will not end here. The Council will meet next Tuesday to work on the "Meet Your ASC" again.
