Nash is famous as a writer of light verse. Nash says that his present niche in literature is the result of "The 3udden and subconscious idea of writing bad verse deliberately." Except for a brief stint as man aging editor of the New Yorker in 1981, the poet has devoted the rest of his alledgedly half finished career to turning out light verse. His.. work has appeared in book form and has been published by most natignal magazines. Nash was born in Rje, New York, but lays some claim to being a displaced Southerner. One of his ancestors was a Revolu tionary governor of North Caro lina, and another, Francis Nash, was a Revolutionary general for whom Nashville, Tennessee, was named. Nash will recite a number of his classic verses and comment on the turn of events in his life .that caused their creation. Nash in 1950 spoke out in his own words on the subject of his lecturing, which in part is: "Well, after this morose preamble, I take a calculated gamble. Remembering a recent trek, I venture to stick out my neck, For I have hoisted on the platform My tall but in-the-middle-fat form, And purpose, if it pleases the court, To file a minority report. Film Society Will Present "Joan of Arc" Members of the University Film Society saw a film Tuesday night called "Presidential Elections," the screenplay of which was super vised by Dr. Robert Ochs of the history department.

Results se- the survey will be published in The na..e...a. )ted Dance Perform .3 Assembly bin, interpreters of the music :ndians, will appear here at 10 Drayton Hall. Reginald Laubin was started on his fascinating career when he was still a boy, living in Lima, Ohio. One day he met two travel ing Indians whose dances so in terested him that he decided he wanted to be an Indian dancer. From that day on, Reginald devoted most of his free time to the study of Indian lore. He dreamed of someday giving con certs of Indian dances, which dream was later brought to real ity with the help and encourage ment of his wife, Gladys. While attending art school in Norwich, Connecticut, Reginald met his future wife and dancing partner. With Gladys, he made exhaustive studies of Indian ma terial in the leading museums and I studied voluminous anthropological papers and reports. After marriage, the two went West for first hand contact with Indian tribes. While on the Stand ing Rock Reservation, in North and South Dakota, they were adopted as honorary members of the Sioux tribe in token of appre .ation of the work they were attempting to do in bringing about a better understanding of the In dian people and their arts and customs. Chief One Bull, leading chief on the Standing Rock Reser vation, nephew of the famous Sitting Bull of history, conducted the ceremonies and adopted Reginald Laubin as his son, bestowing upon him his own name, Takanka Wanjila, really meaning "The Only Buffalo Bull." Accord ing to old custom, this was the highest honor the old man could pay. He named Gladys Laubin, Wiyaka Wastewin, "Good Fea ther," which name had belonged to his mother, who was' Sitting Bull's sister. The Laubins learned most of their dances from old-timers, like One Bull, and still take part in annual festivities on the Standing Rock and Crow Reservations. They have never studied any other type of dancing. Many of the old people encourage them to carry on their chosen work, for through it they are attempting to make Indian art, particularly the dancing, a conscious part of American heritage. The Laubins spend their time, when not on tour with their reci tale and lectures, in further re search among the Indians, usually living in their own tipi in North or South Dakota and Montana. They have lived with Sioux, Crow and Blackfeet Indians in these states and with Cherokee in North Carolina and have visited many reservations in various states. The old Indians say, "They are better Indians than our own Indian young Ipeople." Reginald and Gladys Laubin are the first to present authentic American Indian dancing on the concert stage. They have been authorized to speak in behalf of the National Congress of Ameri can Indians, an organization com prising some 150,000 Indians of various tribes. They have written a number of articles on Indian arts, crafts and welfare for news papers and magasines and are listed in "Who's Who In the West."
