Over 60 Persons Present
At Browsing Room Talk
By Angela Zach
Over 60 persons heard R. D.
Horn, professor of English, talk on
the "Equanimity of Thomas Gray"
at a Student Union browsing room
lecture Wednesday night. After his
lecture, Horn displayed rare edi
tions of Gray's work, one of them
valued at about $25,000.
“Gray, whose name is even a pun
about his disposition, was not sad,'
said Dr. Horn. “The melancholy
which is believed to be his out
standing quality was not black but
rather gray—friendly like the col
or of twilight,” said Horn. What
most people don’t know about Gray
was that he was gay, Horn con
tinued, a prankster who wrote
squibbs about his friends, loved

p The campus will get a facelift
j ir.g at 4 p.m. today when the all

swing on all points of the campus.
' Boxes, rakes and brooms are to

help with the cleanup, according to
Jack Nichols, clean-up chairman.
Kincaid and University streets
ana 13th avenue have been desig
' nated as spots for placing the rub
bish, which the physical plant will

Judging is scheduled for 4:30

Son, Jane Simpson and Nichols in
- charge. Trophies will be awarded

Paired houses should contact
each other and organize their plans
for the cleanup, Nichols said.

. compansionship and was stoical
! rather than melancholy.
Horn displayed a first edition of
j “Elegy Written in a Country
! Courtyard.” It is an issue of the
Strawberry Hill press and publish
ed in 1751. The 200-year-old publi
cation has income tax, or as it was
then known, poor tax, computa
tions on the front page. Horn com
mented that this was fitting for a
book containing lines, “ . . . the
short and simple annals of the
poor.” He also showed photostatic
copies of Gray's handwriting ob
tained from the British museum.
fThe lines are evenly spaced and the
I letters neatly formed.
Funerary bands decorate the
front cover. This is inappropriate,
said Horn, since his elegy was not
gloomy. Rather it was serene and
reassuring and has no lugubrious
associations.
Election Contesters
To Sign Under Oath
Francis Linklater, one of the two
counsels for the group who peti
tioned the election committee con
testing the recent ASUO elections,
said Wednesday night that a new
petition signed under oath would
be filed today.
Tuesday a motion to dismiss the
petition contesting the April 30
elections was filed with the con
stitutional committee on the
grounds that the first petition was
not signed under oath.
Election Chairman Merv Hamp
ton and his committee’s counsel,
law students John Sabin and Les
ter Pederson, indicated to the Em
erald Tuesday night that the peti
tion on file with the committee at
that time would be dismissed.
