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 All-campus Cleanup i Begins at 4 p.m. Today * (See map on page six) i p The campus will get a facelift j ir.g at 4 p.m. today when the all (t campus cleanup gets into full swing on all points of the campus. ' Boxes, rakes and brooms are to * be supplied by those who are par . ticipating in the pre-Junior Week end activity. Due to deferred liv ing, it will be necessary for sopho mores in many organizations 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 |>ick up after the cleanup. Judging is scheduled for 4:30 ‘p.m. with Jody Greer, Tom Wright Son, Jane Simpson and Nichols in - charge. Trophies will be awarded ' at the terrace dance, which will !-follow immediately afterward at i the Student Union. Paired houses should contact each other and organize their plans for the cleanup, Nichols said. Pairings are as follows: Delta Gamma, Sigma Alpha Mu, section 1; Rebec House, Stan Ray Hall, section 2; Alpha Xi Delta, Sigma Alpha Epsilon section 3; Alpha Gamma Delta, Nestor hall, section 4; Chi Omega, Pi Kappa Alpha, and Merrick hall, section 5; Carson 2, Phi Sigma Kappa, and McChesney hall, section 6; Carson 4, Theta Chi and Philadelphia House, section 7; Kappa Alpha Theta, and Sigma Nu, section 8; Delta Delta Delta, Delta Tau Delta, section 9; Alpha Omicron Pi, Sig rna Hall, and Alpha Tau Omega, section 10; Alpha Chi Omega, Phi Kappa Sigma, section 11; Orides, Tau Kappa Epsilon, and Delta Up silon, section 12.

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. * Junior Weekend Begins with Dance Friday Evening “Lnder the Big Top” is the theme for Friday night’s Junior From, the first big event of Junior Weekend.
