Prophetic poetry read
Quinn captivates crowd
The Kansas Union Browsing Room was filled with intent listeners yesterday as Dennis Quinn, associate professor of English, read philophetic poetry.
The chairs were filled and some persons were sitting on the carpet.
Many were standing in adjoining rooms, sipping coffee and listening to Quinn read from the prophetic books of the 1611 edition of the King James Bible.
He read about sin—poetry that prophesied the fall of the Israelites when they turned away from God and that attempted to warn them into turning away from their sinnings. Passages that beautifully described the sorrow felt by the prophets when their people sinned and were punished were read from Lamentations, Jeremiah and other books of the Bible.
Women to aid revision of AWS constitution
After Christmas, KU women will be called upon to suggest clarifications and revisions of the present Associated Women Students (AWS) constitution.
The AWS Constitution Revision Committee held a meeting at 7 last night at the home of Emily Taylor, dean of women. The present constitution was discussed and a plan to submit it for student's reactions was decided upon.
The committee will meet with the AWS House Executive Board
Dec. 15, to review the constitution. Their suggestions and those elicited in a meeting with the entire house on Jan. 5, will be submitted to KU women by their various living group representatives.
According to Dorothy Sloan, Norton junior and constitution revision chairman, the committee hopes to consider all suggestions in their revamping.
The constitution was last revised four years ago.
International ball set
The Gentlemen of Note, a nine-piece orchestra from Leavenworth, will provide music for the International Club Christmas Formal dance to be held from 8:30-12 tonight in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
"One of the purposes of the International Club is to sponsor activities in which American and foreign students can meet and get to know each other better." Victor Hernandez, Costa Rica senior and social chairman, said.
"At this time of the year, it seems that every dorm, sorority and fraternity has a Christmas dance so we thought it would be a good idea to have one," he added.
Hernandez said formal, semi-formal, or national-formal costumes may be worn.
Tickets are available at the Kansas Union Information Desk or at the Ballroom tonight for
$2.50 a couple for non-members and $1.50 for International Club members.
WEATHER
Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with colder temperatures are predicted by the U.S. Weather Bureau for tonight and Saturday. Tonight's low temperature should be from 15 to 20 degrees. Northeasterly winds 15 to 20 m.p.h. tonight and Saturday. Precipitation probability tonight is 20 per cent and tomorrow, 10 per cent.
QUINN, WHO originated the course—literary aspects of the King James Bible, read with the confidence and conviction of one who knows his subject well and finds it meaningful.
"I am interested in the Bible because it is great literature. It deals with all the vital issues of human life." Quinn said.
The poetry hour was one of a regular series sponsored by Student Union Activities.
