"We do not believe in giving the
students projiects to do," he add-
ed. The students are not advanced
enough in mathematics to do re-
search on a profesisonal level' The
projects they are able to do are
either trivial or have been done
by others before them," he con-
As seniors the honors students

ner's level. Juniors take senior
courses, Prof. McLaughlin said. rt
is possible for students to attend
graduate seminars but it would be
pointless to attend them for cred-
it because then they would have
more than the required 40 hours
in mathematics.
Expands Program
The anthropology departiment
plans on expanding its program.
This is the first semester that
juniors may enter the program,"
Prof. Titiev said.
It is a three semester course
because the department must first
meet the juniors as concentrates.
Thus they will not know a stu-
dexit's capacity until the end of
the first semester of the junior
year.
In the second semester of the

first semester of the senior year
they read original works in dif-
ferent branches of anthropology.
In this semester the students go

of the normal summary," tProf.
Titiev said.
The students meet three times a
week for an hour in the junior
year and first semester of the
senior year, he added.
Write Research Papers
In the second semester of the
senior year each student writes a
research paper. The students meet
in a group and review their find-
ings so that each one can get a
better knowledge of the different
f ids of anthropology, Prof.
I'tev said.

on the paper. "We continue to
guide them but most of the work
is done on an Individual basis
rather than the group basis that
was done during the 'first two se-
mesters of the program," he con-
tinued.
"If the mathematics depart-
ment gets more money, we initend
to extend our program and give
courses in both the junior and
senior year," Prof. McLaughlin
,said.

will continue its current drama
season at 8:30 p.m. today, pre-
senting Arthur Miller's "A View
from1 the Bridge."
Additional performances of the
production, which consists of two
one-act plays, "A Memory of Two
Mondays" and "A View from the
Bridge," will be given today and
on Feb. 19 and 20.
There will be a special perform-
ance Feb. 17, sponsored by the
League of Women Votprs.
"A Memory of Two Mondays," is
considered a realistic allegory. In
it Miller demonstrates the paths
which people take in this world,
their search for meaning. and the
frustrations arising from their
mortal deeds and disappointing
achievements through a group of
people working In a warehouse.
"A View from the Bridge," remni-
niscent of a Greek tragedy in its
sense of fate and the direct march
to catastrophe, is the story of the
way man in the modern world
naively dhooses a course of action
which destroys him.
The two plays, first produced in
New York in 1955, were created

one-act play and to demonstrate
his own faith in the power of the
short drama.
By FAITH WEINSTEIN
"The poet should dare, wisely,
in order to gain a greater degree
of originality," Walter Kidd, visit-
inglecturer in English, said yes-
tray.
hWaltr Kidd, himself isape
with words. He calls himself an
organic symbolist,"? that is, one
whose symbolism is "drawn from
the very substance of life."'
His symbolism Is presented al-
ways, In the most effective lan-
guage which he can find, or cre-
ate. He has turned literary ref er-
ences into npuns and verbs for ar-
tistic purposes.
"When a poet considers that he
can give a more intense and color-
ful concreteness to his, expression
he has the artistic right to frac-
ture words into new meanings,"
Kidd said. lie has "fractured"
such names. as Ophelia, and Is-
cariot, into common nouns and
verbs which he thinks carry great-
er connotative power than an or-
dinary word could convey.
Uses Visual Patterns
Besides the use of connotation,
for greater power, Kidd has also
employed the technique of what
he calls "typographical eccentri-
cities," the use of deliberate place-
ment of words across a page so as
to form a visual pattern signifi-
cant to the meaning of the poem.
He said poetry today has lost
the appeal to the ear whiqh char-
acterized it during the 17th and
18th centuries. Consequently, he
explained, the poet must supple-
ment the audible quality of a
poem with a visual image, which
he provides by the use of the tech-
niqu of typgrph'ica imagry
Thus the yword image ofg hi
"closecrumblingwater" Is height-
ened by the fusion of the words
Into a single pattern.
Much of1 this idea of visual im-
agery has come frpm e. e. cum4
mings, who, Kidd said,. has jus'ed
great artistry with this form, but
who, upon occasion, goes so far
into the connotative as to lose
the denotative significance of the
words.
Poetry Published
As Conrad Pendleton, Kidd has
published one volume of poetry,
"Slow Fire of Time" which is a
collection of poems which he has
written over a number of years.
As with individual poems the title
of the collection serves as a
"thematic symbol" for the whole,
according to the poet, who said
his title symbbl is usually carried
throughout the entire poem.
Kidd described the "slow fire
of time" symbol as meaning that
power inherent in life, which
slowly destroys everything which

man has built up. However, he
does not 'consider this a pessimis-
tic theory.
Influened~ by Frost
Robert. Frost has been a great
influence on his writing, KIdd
said, both directly and indirectly.
The Influence of the New England
way of life, which Frost represents,
was transportedunby the pioner
Oregon where he was born, Kidd
said.
Throuh hi reerh onFrost,
including his Master of rts the-
sis on ''The H{umanlsm and Classi-
cism of Frost" KIdd has been in-
fluenced by the New England poet
very directly.

appreciates most about the Uni-
versity ls the library with its over
two million volumes, which will
allow him to continue his research
on Frost.

Kidd has taught at many unb-
versities and colleges in the mid-
west and far west, Before Coming
to the University as a visiting lec-
turer In English, he was 111 charge
of the writing program at Presno
State College, C~alifornia.
Born Into a family of trn'lhers
an d cattlemen, Kidd wus dls-
cour aged from writing during his
childhood. "I was doing the un-
forgivable," he said. He continued

lor's and master's degrees at the
University of Oregon at Portland,
and his doctorate at the Univer-
