Eagle Will Speak
to Students Friday'
Paul Engle, noted American
poet, will address Central students at required assemblies Friday morning, October 21. His
topic will be "The. Writing of
Poetry." The assembly for freshmen is at 9 a.m. and that for upperclassmen at 11 a.m. There will
also be a discussion for anyone
interested in techniques of writing at 1 p.m. in room W355.
The   public   first   became
aware of Paul Engle in 1933
when   he   was   awarded   first
prize of one thousand dollars
at  the  Chicago  World's  Fair
for the poem which best "exemplified    the   American
theme." This poem was "American Song." which formed ihe
title of  his  second  published
volumn of poetry and won him
the reputation of being America's most historically-informed
poet. He studied ai Oxford as
a Rhodes scholar and traveled
extensively on ihe continent.
His first book of poetry was
the volume chosen by Yale University for the 1932 selection of
the Younger Poet Series.  Since
that time five more books of poetry  and  one  novel  have  been
brought out.

IN ADDITION to being head
of Iowa State University's creative writing program, Engle also
serves as reviewer and critic for
"The Listener" (London), New
York Times, Saturday Review of
Literature, New York Post, and
Chicago Tribune.
Life Magazine will feature Mr.
Engle and his creative writing
classes in a seven-page story
sometime this fall.

Better Win Freshmen-
Soph Games, Frosh
Frosh, you'd better win those
freshmen-sophomore games during Homecoming!
Men's Union officials have
announced that if ihe freshmen
lose ihe annual games, freshmen initiation will be carried
out once again. If the frosh win
ihe contests, there will be no
initiation.
Officials have also stated that
if the frosh lose, necessitating
an initiation, there will be absolutely no physical hazing in
the process.
* * *
MAIN PURPOSE in establishing an initiation, Central's first
for men students since 1942, is
to create interest in the freshmen-sophomore games and establish a parellel to the women's
initiation.
Preliminary plans have been
approved by Pres. Charles L.
Anspach, Dr. Judson W. Foust,
and Dean George N. Lauer. If
the freshmen lose the games,
there will be a required assembly
for freshmen men Monday following Homecoming.
We Apologize!
Last week's LIFE story on the
Homecoming Queen candidates
intimated that Jocelyn Loyster,
Saginaw senior, was being
backed by Alpha Sigma Tau.
We have since been informed
that she is the candidate of Delta
Sigma Phi. We are sorry that
such a mistake was made.
