Moll to Discuss
Modern Poetry
Tonight in S. U.
Australian-Born Poet
Views Modern Works
E. G. Moll, professor of English,
will “light the flares" on modem
poetry and its basic characteristics
when he discusses "Poetry as
Contemporary Art” in tonight's
7:30 browsing room lecture.
Representing the field of poetry
in the Festival of Contemporary
Arts, Moll will attempt to catch
the “spirit and purpose” behind
the works of recent poets.
“I will point out the chief ways
in which the modem poet departs
from the rock-bed foundations
laid by the earlier versifiers,” he
said.
Moll will probe the works of
several minor poets including
Empson, Brinnin and Auden in
order to “show what the modern
poet is attempting” and how the
recent verse-makers use imagery
to “give airy nothing a local hab
itation and a name . . .”
I will not emphasize the work of
any one poet, he stated, but will
attempt to give a bird's eye view
of the whole field of modern
poetry.
Moll will direct his remarks to
a “general audience,” avoiding the
more technical aspects of poetry.
Hoyt Trowbridge, professor of
English, will be discussion leader
for the session.

Prof Blasts Oaths;
Calls Objectional
“Negative loyalty oaths are like
a disease. After you once take one,
they get worse,” said Charles G.
Howard, professor of law, in his
address Tuesday in the Student
Union dad's lounge.
Howard, speaking on “Loyalty
Oaths and Academic Freedom,"
said that there are two kinds of
loyalty oaths. The first, an oath
of allegiance, should be taken "by
anyone living off the taxpayers’
money,” he admonished.
This type of oath is simply a
promise to uphold the constitu
Direct Mail Ads
Sell, Bells Says
“I never read it—it goes in the
wastebasket.” Anyone using di
; rect mail advertising should ig
nore that objection, a Portland ad
vertising man told an audience
j Tuesday night in the Student
: Union Dads' lounge.
The speaker, Milton Bell, said
| direct mail is effective even if it
brings results in a small percent
age of cases.
He gave a graphic visual dem
onstration of direct mail advertis
ing principles, using a poster
board to illustrate his points.
One Tool
“Direct mail is one more tool
I use in selling. You want peo
ple to react with orders.” The
more you know about your prod
j uct and your market, the better
; you do,” the stocky, greying
advertising executive said.
Testing results is the only way
to tell how effective direct mail
| advertising is, Bell said. Persis
tence is the key to success in di
rect mail campaigns, he declared.
Bell listed four main advantages
of direct mail:
(1) It fits any budget.
(2) It goes direct to the indi
vidaul customer.
(3) It is versatile.
(4) The advertiser can get help
from experts in preparing it.
A Vital Element
A good mailing list is a vital
element in direct mail advertis
ing, Bell said. —“You can’t sell
garden tools to an apartment
dweller.”
He listed five questions for an
advertiser to answer when he has
a good mailing list:
1) What is the ad’s objective?
(2) How many mailings will be
needed ?
(3) What type of piece will be
used?
(4) What is the main sales ap
peal ?
(5) What is a practical expen
diture ?

tion and certain principles of a
particular organization, the pro
fessor explained.
Negative Type
It is the “negative type oaths
that make you swear you’ve never
been or done something” that are
found objectionable and unconsti
tutional, he said.
The constitution is violated in
three ways by these oaths, Howard
said. They are bills of attainder,
ex post facto laws and are self
incriminating, he asserted.
Stating that such oaths are the
first step toward totalitarianism,
Howard added that this “purging
of oneself to be safe in the future”
leads to perjury.
Indoor Sport
“Our great indoor sport of to
day Howard said of the current
perjury trials.
So far, said Howard, Oregon ed
ucators have avoided these unde
sirable oaths.
Academic freedom is not, how
ever, a reward or a special priv
ilege. It is an extension of all
freedoms of the individual into in
stitutions of higher learning, the
law professor said.
Academic freedom, he said, is
the right of a scientist to discov
er a cure for a disease. “It’s a
climate or atmosphere.”
The discussion was sponsored by
the YWCA public affairs commis
sion.

What Do You Think...

“It is interesting, beneficial and worth while to the student body.
If there is any problem that is in student government, it lies with
those who make student government function.”
