Potter poetry readings popular
By Carla Rupp Kansan Staff Reporter
More than 150 casually dressed students clustered around the picnic area west of Potter lake Wednesday afternoon to hear the long-haired Ed Dorn, KU's visiting poet-in-residence, read some of his works.
Some students carried brown
leather sandals, others had weather-worn tennis shoes.
Carrying armfuls of books, soon abandoned on the ground, the students leisurely found a comfortable spot on the grass.
Wearing black sunglasses, the 39-year-old poet—who will be speaking at KU English classes for the next three weeks—read
Adviser-student relations big complaint about CWC
"Thesis" from his book "The North Atlantic Turbine." He then read a group of six songs from his book "Geography," a 30-minute poem, "Gunslinger," and "The Daffodil Song."
The biggest complaint about the College - within - the - College (CWC) is poor student and adviser relationships within the five colleges.
This was brought out in a forum Wednesday evening to discuss CWC.
`Jerry Lewis, director of CWC and one of the panel members, said students are dissatisfied with their advisers because they want advisers to replace their parents and make all their decisions for them.
Students attending the forum said their advisers do not take an active enough interest in their courses and in their problems.
"Advisers and students should have a scholar and would-be scholar relationship," Lewis said, "and not a parent-child relationship."
Lewis also said the students need to have more frequent contact with their advisers in order to develop a more mature relationship.
"The system is miserable because it hasn't answered any of the questions addressed to it completely," Robert Nunley, professor of geography and a member of the panel, said.
He said CWC has managed to
solve some problems partially. The advisory system was improving and advisers were starting to have meetings to discuss their roles as advisers.
When Dorn first began to read at the podium, the students' eyes were fastened upon him.
Nunley said CWC provides the opportunity for a sweeping curricula reform and a chance for experimentation with courses because of the smaller groups involved in each of the colleges.
Kala Strupe, dean of Oliver College and a member of the panel, also expressed an interest in the smaller groups. She feels more could be done with the small groups in the five colleges than could be done with the freshman class as a whole.
Another panel member, Joe Goering, Moundridge junior, who is on the College Intermediary Board (CIB) reviewed a study of CWC which CIB has done.
Goering said CIB's general impression of CWC was that it has improved communication between students and administrators, but it has not improved student-teacher and student-student relationships.
He said CIB has proposed that CWC be extended to all four years of the student's college career.
The Castle Tea Room STILL THE MOST UNIQUE RESTAURANT IN LAWRENCE
There has to be a good reason why students and faculty alike continue year after year, to patronize us. It could be our warm, friendly atmosphere, fine food, "Old World" decor, or just the fact that we're different. Our four dining rooms, furnished in birch, cherry, walnut, and oak, are perfect for dinner dates, meetings, and even wedding receptions. But, whatever the reason may be, we're glad you've made us the most popular restaurant in Lawrence. We've been that way for 20 years.
If you're new in Lawrence, we'd like to get acquainted with you. If you already know about us, you will be glad to know that we're still here. We haven't changed!

LIBUSE KRIZ
After about 30 minutes, their eyes wandered—perhaps down to the reflections of the lake, or to other students. Some students closed their eyes and stretched out in the grass under the sun.
Phone VI 3-1151
After Dorn finished reading Book I of "Gunslinger," students applauded loudly. Then, Dorn introduced a young man, Patrick Nolan from Drake University, "who's working his way to California and wants to take up a collection after reading some of his poetry."
