Over 300 students from the group attended the Nov. moratorium in Washington. D.C. and throughout the year they sponsored programs on campus.

'My own life is my inspiration," said. "Much of it comes in ways on't know about. I just want to it rather than analyze how." He s done it.

Dickey feels that nany of them are merely fads and Nill die out. He cited the trend toward what he called "concrete and naked poetry." Dickey feels that future writing styles are being shaped by today's world problems. He said that eventually there will be "a desperate clinging to the remnants of nature, before they're obliterated by BASF and the rest of them." Thus, what we take for granted today may be a luxury and symbols for future writers. Dickey said that " a blade of grass is going to look like Eden in 20 years." This idea seems to have been accepted and used as evidence by recent works on the menace of pollution and its future results. PIOMISING POETS IIRE James Dickey teaches two poetry classes at USC which one of protests pported various politic ere just year. I by the ous groul weren't giving up in Asia.

Among them he has discovered many promising poets, five or six of whom he feels "could publish for the rest of their lives. They are as good as I've had anywhere," he said. SSENT James Dickey does not feel that student unrest 'today is limited to students. "I'ts part of a very much greater malise of America," he said. He also thinks that it is focused particularly in the younger generation. However, Dickey does not feel his particular role in the university community compels him to take an active part in student activities. "I'm a writer who happens to ILL al groups on campus last )s at USC years. Last year they organize the Rally in Support of Vietnar personnel and sent a petitio supporting President Nixon' efforts to achieve peace in Viet nam to Washington.

Although he is not well known on campus, he seems to be satisfied with is work. "I'd rather be here than anywhere else I know," he explained.
