Knott , who now holds a fellowship from the Yaddo Foundatio n, Saratoga Springs , New York , has published one volume , THE NAOMI P OEMS: CORPSE AND BEANS, and is preparin g a second. In reviewin g THE NAOMI POEMS for POETRY Mag azine (Ja nuary 1969) Ralph J . Mills , Jr ., referred to Bill Knott as "one of the most remarkable poets to appear since James Wright and James Dickey, tils poems are...excruciatin gly pain , ful , marvelously lyric and tender , savagely satirical , but always Imaginative , with that true power of imagination that is ultimately Indefinable yet instant ly recognisable when encountered. " Mills concludes his review as follows: " we are lucky to have BUI Knott with us and are not likely to get a better poet for some time ." Further details of Mr . Knott's visit will appear in the MAROON & GOLD later in the week. ...

Associated Collegiate Press Convention Draws 1,500 College Editors One thousand , five hundred college editors assembled in Miami Beach for the annual Associated Collegiate Press Convention this past weekend. The MAROON AND GOLD was represened by Michael H ock , Editor -in-Chief ; dor Remsen, Business Manager ; William Teitsworth , Mana ging Editor ; Mart in Kleiner , NewsEditor; and Mr . Michael Stanley , Adviser . The convention represented an assembla ge of the people who are , perhap s, the voices of the colleges and universitie s. Its significance was not in its banquets , speaker s, or meeting s but the time spent over burgers or a drink when the real problems were discussed . Though the ultimate purpose of the convention was aimed at journalism , these discussions were relati veto solving a vast number of pr oblems confrontin g the schools rep resented .

It is perhap sa maun between the student and the rest of the world . However, sample publications from colleges all over the countr y indicated a trend toward a revolut ionary type of jo urnalism which attempt s to show a true picture , whether it is good or bad , of the institution or, as one student stated , " a type of journal ism where you must feed the people what they will eat even when they think it tastes bad ." Many students indicated an adverse reaction from admini strators to the "backtalk" which has recently become an inte gral part of the college newspaper . Dr . Geor ge Starcher , pre sident of the University of North Dakota , however , stated that the tre nd .. . was healthy. He said , "If we expect students to think then we should also expect them to criticize and want tilings changed ." The Editors at the conventi on discussed these situations and many others , arr iving at no de* ' finite conclusions. The significance of the event , however , is well-state d in an article from the Universit y of Mia mi Oracle . "And perhaps it all comes down to the feelin g that ther e is no peace and there is no por nogra phy , only people and a buck * etful of words that you believe, sound ri ght .

Letters ~s4 Urinal rZep ly Dear Colleague , Your letter In the MAROON & GOLD of Oct . 22 proves that you have learned an elementary ruse of debate: if you can clumsily misstate your opponent ' s viewp oint and thus manage to reduce him to a coward, a moron, and a cad, it is much easier to defeat thi s caref uly conceived construct tha n to engage in true , subtantive ar gument. I find In your letter no hint of a J ustification of your position but plenty of personal attac k upon me. Apparently yuu uuu uuuuug wrong with being on the same side as assass ins who lunge out of the Jungle to murder mayors , teachers , and other community leaders in South Vietnam In order to terr orize the civilian population into rendering a grud ging support. Apparently you think ft is a mere coincidence when the leaders of the Viet Cong and North Vietnam laud your activities to the skies. Your suggest ion that I was chastising only one student , when in real ity I was taking on a lar ge student group .Including the MAROON & GOLD writers who supported the teac h-In, Is a deliberate falsehood. I thank you for compliment when you the describe stude nts as "an unfair match " for me. Personall y, al- to Akm Zrinat rZeptu thou gh humility is not reputed to be one of my virtues , I would consider the combined efforts of the MAROON & GOLD editorial staff and the morat orium supporters a formidab le front. They have, after all , a huge reserve of anti-war propaganda on which to draw for supporting statements , including your ar guments of Oct. 151 As for identifying your stand with the pro-Viet Cong side, all I can say is this : if it looks like a duck , talks like a duck , and walks like a duck, it probably is a duck.

In my opinion, Mr . Tom Kearns wrote one of the most biased reviews I have ever read! After pr aisin g Mr . Casey, Miss Avery, Mr . Miller, and Miss Fried , without so, much as one criticism, he gave a complete criticism of Miss Beth Powlus , which was very out of place and very untrue . Evidently he chose to ignore the fact mat Miss Powlus has a great voice and that bier singing was excellent all (Perhaps Mr . three nights, Kearns forgot that "little Mary Sunshine " was a musical.) One must consider that her portrayal of the character, Madam Von Liebedial , included an accent which , was difficult to execute . Beth' s role was a minor one in comparison to Mr. Casey 's and Miss Avery 's, so she wasn't expected to steal the show. ¦ I feel Mr. Kearns was very unfair to Mi ss P owlus because of the resounding criticism of her and also that her name was NOT EVEN mentioned! If this is the best Mr . K earnscanwrite, perhaps he should turn in his pen. Sincerely, Kathy Shafer EDITORS ' NOTE: Mr . Kearns' review of "Little Mary Sunshine " was indeed in. adequate. In addition to that men* tloned in the above letter , some* thing should be said for the fantas> tic achievements of the Jackson family who provided the musicfor the entire play. Hats off to those who contributed to the play and who helped make it the success that it was. ally settled by treat y, and treaties are the result of mutua l agree ment. The acid test of validity lies in a system of mutua l control. F or you cannot argue out of the way the Communist record of breaking ninet y percent of the treat ies that Reds have concluded in the 20th centur y. In IMS connection, let me c ite the Vietnam talks of Paris. Pres ident Johnson gave up bombing North Vietnam — our main trum p card — and his own further career in order to get the North Vietnamese to the conferenc e table. The under standing was that there would be meaningful talks leading to peace. Yet the Communists have used those talks as a mere propaganda forum and keep reiterating their original deuoands, making no gesture toward meaningful discussions at all. Would you say that the North Vietnamese have kept faith with Lyndon Johnson? whereas I advocate supporting the President , who is certainly better informed than either side in the broad popular debate , I should advocate that the American Government should suspend the Paris talks until the Communists side gives evidence of making concrete concessions , I would advocate tills in a peaceful manner and go through proper channels rather than holding demonstrations or publicly br oadcasting the names of the fallen dead who cannot defend them selves against misuse of their names. I have never said that I believe in blindly following our leaders — although they were chosen by majority veto, and wo owe their august office our respect. I advocate soaking Intelligent chan ge without forenslcs , cracked skulls, or broken glass. I advocate making our opinions known in writing to our elected representatives. Your show an appalling lack of proportion or fairness , when you compare my previous debate on Vietnam with Deake Porter with your sally against mo In tee MAROON I GOLD.

Wexler had filmed before in that picture sque part of America and the lives of these almost , forgotten people made a strong impression on him. When he read "Division Street , U.S.A.," by fellow Chica goan Studs Terkel , he 'was greatly moved by the plight of those in the Appalachian Ghetto and in 1967, he began to! work on a screenplay about them. ' ^J-orum After President Lyndon B. Johnson announced that he would not run a gain and Chi ca go was chosen by the Democratic Party as the s.ite for its convention, it became obvious that drama , excitement and history were certain to surround the event . Wexler proceeded to develop a script which would Incorporate the pro ceedin gs. From his own experience as a cameraman , Wexler had learned that it was possible to avoid becoming emotionally affected by daily events , but he felt that the temper of America toda y called for more involvement man most people permit . GENUINE DRAMA To express his ideas, he selected a television news cameraman as the protagonist in "Medium Cool." The camera- i man finds himself becoming a' I part , of the events he is assigned to cover an d learns to evaluate them emotiona lly. Robert Forster and Verna Bloom appear in Par amount Pictures' MEDIUM COOL , directed by Haskel Wexler . Filming ¦ a major motion picture in a busy city is never an eas y matter . Filming a major mo- tion picture in a busy city with rioters , police , and National Guardsmen fightin g in the streets is still harder. Thus the setting of Wexler 's MEDIUM COOL , filmed during the 1968 Democratlc Convention. 1There is much to be gained , "Medium Cool ," which starts this week at the Columbia the at re , stars R obert F orster , Verna . Bloom, P eter Bonerz and Marian na Hill . The film was written, directed and photo graph ed by Haskell Wexler who prod uced the film with Tully Fried man . by filming In and among people who feel things strongly, " says Wexler . "If your film can reflect areas of life where people feel passion , then it will have genuine drama. I sincerely believe we have accomplished this in 'M edium Cool. '" IVhat 'sHappening r< ep lu affair. That is, Dear Colleag ue, the major reason why I did not participate in the debates of Oct . IS. It was not tha t I was intimidated by the prosp ects of cros sing swords with you or encounter ing your sophistic powers of logic. I simply would not debate Vietnam on Oct. 15 , the date approved by the SDS for a na^ tional demons tration against our ' war effort . Nor will I let SDS dictate that I must arg ue that topic in the middle of November or Decemb er — days to which THE GADF LY is alr eady looking forward as being the next dates of BJ oomsburg hap penings. Another reason for my nonsarticlpation was Indic ated in your letter: I would not have debated merel y one anti-war propo nent but the lot of you. It is an old tactic of debaters to overwhelm adver saries thro ugh sheer numbers and lung-power . I am wise to that gambi t.
