James Dickey sE Dickey's Sty During Poet Three hundred people crowded into the new Business Ad ministration Auditorium for the last of the English Department's poetry series. The featured poet for the reading was James Dickey. Dickey stepped into the room and all fell silent. He was in character with his cowboy hat, turtleneck sweater and a manner that is James Dickey. His gestures and diction set the appropriate mood for each poem. The poet covered a wide range of topics from sex to football coaches. Dickey chose his verse from some of his earlier rhymes. His first selection, "The Underground Stream," dealt with love, death, youth and carried much of the macabre element. The general theme of the poem was that someday, everyone grows old. The second selection was about cowardice. Dickey commented, FORMAl Take a Knock-out to the next formal Take an After Six. 50 styles to choose from Now that it's formal time, its time to visit us at... SHARPE'S MAKE YOUR RESERVATION NOW! 3 CONVENIENT LOCATIONS: Five Points Forest Drive Dutch Square x to football coaches le Distinct ry Reading "It's a subject always close to my heart." The poem deals with a youifg man and an overpowering female who wants to swim a river because it's there. The young man's problem is that he can't swim. Another selection was about a young boy who was swimming and suddently saw a naked young lady dive into the water. At this point, Dickey relaxed into making choice comments that made the audience roar with laughter. Dickey used his poem on football coaches humorously. The poem, "The Bee," was dedicated to the Clemson coaches of '42. He com mented that we owe coaches from 20 to 30 years ago a debt for the disciplines they taught. The mood relaxed again with another poem dealing with sex and love. It involved a case of sunburn and the oain of love.
