Untermeyer
At Third As
Louis Untermeyer, editor, an
thologist, critic and lecturer, will
speak in the Field house, next
Friday at 10 a. m. This will be
the third in a series of monthly
assembly programs instituted by
the university this fall under the
chairmanship of Chaplain Lauren
E. Brubaker.
s Louis Untermeyer was born in
New York City, reared and, he
likes to say now, "mis-educated"
there. He worked in a jewelry
factory in New Jersey as office
boy, salesman, and finally man
ager. At the age of 37, after a
few years abroad he left the busi
ness to devote his time to writing.
Altogether he has produced some
30 volumes-original verse, trans
lations, essays, travel ske.ches,
criticism, and anthologies of vari
ous kinds. "Burning Rush." "Roast
Leviathan," "C h a 11 e n g e," and
"Food and Drink" are among his
best known books of verse.
As a translator, his "Poems of
Heinrich Leine," and "The Fat
of the Cat" (from Gottfried
Keller) are best known. Among
his prose works, "Donkey of the
God" won the Enit prize. "The
Book of Living Verse," printed
simultaneously in London, Paris,
Hamburg and Milan, has been
mentioned as the logical successor
to the "Oxford Book of English
Verse."
When the Encyclopedia Britan
nica was revised, Untermeyer was
chosen to write the articles on
modern American poetry. Many of
his anthologies are used as texts
in schools and colleges.
Among his most recent publica
tions are "A Treasury of Great
Poems," and "A Treasury of
Laughter," both of which have
been on the best-seller list and
have gone through several print
ings.
During World War II, Unter
meyer was associated with the
Office of War Information as
senior editor of publications and
writer of foreign radio broadcasts.
He also edited the Armed Services
Editions - the largest publishing
enterprise in America - which
produces more than 70,000,000
books a year.

Decca recordings. He has said that
he regards this project as a tre
mendous stride forward in the
field of education. Lately, he has
appeared on television-his most
recent program being, "What's My
Line?"
William Rose Benet calls Louis
Untermeyer "The A m e r i c a n
Heine." Amy Lowell referred to
him as "the most versatile genius
in America," and Helen Grace Car
lisle says that he is "the liveliest
personality" she has ever known.
At the first assembly program,
in September, Dr. Will Durant,
philosopher and author, spoke on
the subject, "Can Civilization Be
Saved," to an audience of approxi
mately 2,200. Romney Wheeler,
war correspondent, lecturer, and
commentator, spoke on "Target for
Tomorrow," Russia's designs on
Japan, at the Ctohr programI
before over 2,000 listeners.
The uaeuAly programs are a
part of the university's regularly
scheduled events for the student
body and faculty, but are open to
the general public.

Emerick Speaks
To Engineers
About Writing
"To get the story over with a
minimum of effort required of the
reader is the goal of the technical
writer," said Robert H. Emerick
in a talk last Tuesday to the school
of engineering. The subject of
Emerick's talk was "Technical
Writing."
Emeriek said that. in enginering
joornalism the field is limited, but
it 9ffers considerable travel and
salaries comparable to that of a
professor of engineering.
"The qualifications needed,"
Emerick said, "are status as an
engineer, ability to release informa
tive facts, clear and good English
osage, and a personal viewpoint
that must inevitably be reflected
in the tone of the article."
Emerick brought out that today
technical journals must compete
with the "Saturday Evening Post,"
"Collier's," and other "slicks."
A free lance writer and en
gineer, Emerick is the author of
two books, "Basic Refrigeration
and Air Conditioning," "Heating
Design and Practice," and is now
working on another, "Power Plant
Management."
His articles have appeared in
the following magazines: "Power,"
"Power Engineer," "Southern
Power and Industry," "Heating
and Ventilations," "Domestic En
gincering," a 1 d "Progressive
Architecture."
Originally from Pennsylvania,
E'erick has worked in New York,
('levelaid, and Honolulu.
Bishop Franklin
Talks At Wesley
Chapel Assembly
"I will give unto you the keys of
the Kingdom of. Heaven." Speak
ing in the chapel nn October 25,
Marvin A. Franklin, bishop of the
.Jakson, Miss., area, took his talk
from this scripture selection.
.With the subject "The Keys of
the Kingdom" the bishop cited five
keys that wvould open the way to
a well-adjusted life. The first of
the keys is normality, Franklin
stated. This normality is divided
into subdivisions of a sound body,
a clear mind, a good social out
look, and a great religious faith.
The second of the keys is maturity.
"A person who is really mature,"
said the Bishop, "is one who is
constantly growing."
The third key is relaxation.
Under this topic Bishop Franklin
placed intellectual honesty, peace
of mind, and freedom from nervous
tension. Nervous tension, he be
lieves, is one of the symptoms of
the disease of today.
His fourth key is social intelli
gence. The Bishop feels that learn
ing to get along with one another
would solve all the major problems
of todiay. The way to go about
this, he said, is t.o turn every point
of possible friction into an occa
sion for friendship.
The fifth and most importani
key, Bishop Franklin believes, is
spiritual awareness, He maintains
that we have tried to build a work!
without God, There is no conflict
between science and religion, hE
says, for truth never conflicts witt:
truth.
The Bishop's main plea was -thai
.each of us should be unashamedl3
' religious.

the YM and YW respectively, and
Prof. F. T. Meeks of the account
ing department is faculty advisor.
Gibbes stated that the reason
for the annual drive is to help the
'Y' meet its financial need and
increase its membership. He also
said the student activity fees are
less this year due to the drop in
enrollment, and that the money
needed must be raised for the stu
dent body and faculty or else the
'Y' program must be cut.
Faculty solicitations began last
week with a dinner on Monday
night. Dr. R. H. Wicneficl of the
istuiy dalpartment is chairman of
the faculty drive.
Of the $2,200. requ1eated, $1,500
will go to the YMCA and $700 to
the YWCA. The drive is being op
erated on a district system, with
four districts in the city. Campus
directors are Jim Mason and Lula
Stabler. The city directors are

as majors of the districts.

Literary Society
Votes New Debate
Plan At Meeting
Prof. M. G. Christophersen, sug
gested to Clariosophic Literary
Society Tuesday night that mem
bers of the society work on a new
plan for competitive discourse.
Christophersen reminded them
that 110 years ago Clariosophic
along with similar organizations in
three other southern universities
inaugurated the debate system of
competitive discourse. He said that
it was his understanding that the
original plan was drawn up in the
same Clariosophic hall in which he
was speaking Tuesday night. Var
sity competition came from the
Universities of Alabama, Missis
sippi, and Georgia.
"There is now a growing need
for a new typ)e oi competitive dis
course because varsity debating
tournaments are growing larger
each year," he said. He added that
in the system now used not
enough speakers can participate in
the speaking. "If this society can
originate a new plan that will
allow more speakers to express
their ideas in less time, it will
render a great service to foren
sics," he said.
The society, after listening to
the coach of the debate deam,
which has been among the top
three varsity teams in America
for the past three years, proposed
that each member work on a new
system of discourse.
In accordance with Christopher
sen's suggestion, a new plan of
dlebating will be tried next week
in which eight persons will par
ticipate. The subject for debate
will be, "Resolved that the date
of the Carolina-Clemson football
game be changed."
Besides being coach of the de
bating team, Christophersen is Di
rector of the University Players,
Professor of English, and an hon
orary member of Clarioeophic soci
