When it is a bore. The small audience which gathered in Auditorium C of An- gell Hall last night was treated to "An Evening of 'Bad Poetry" by the P.A.P. (Packard Avenue Play- readers). There is some doubt, however, as to whether or not these initials were chosen because reading through the periods gives you the word "pap." It was pap with a vengeance: bland, yes-but easily digestible, no. They invoked aid from their very blank verse: "Sa- liva, chyle, bile." This was not enough to save the audience from dyspepsia. Not only was the evening short on rhyme; it was distinctly lack- ing in reason. The humor was puerile and tiresome. The same simple technique, that of bathos, was used over and over. Take, for example, selections from the "Pis- catory Eclogues" of William Dyap- er (or is it really spelled Dia- per?). A touching description of child care among the sea cows was interrupted for a licking of "smooth ringlets with scurvy tongue." Big comedown. But there was no reason to it. The image and the connotations of the word "scurvy" bore no relation to any- thing else in the poem. The3 merely appealed to an adolesceni preoccupation with sex. No sense, no humor. ing this long hour which were genuinely pleasing. One was a flur- ry of short verse which included the following: "Upon your breast/ I lay my weary head,/Softer than eiderdown." Something as simple as a dangled participle was snap- ped up by this starved audience. The other was a parody of Ar- thur Miller's "Death of a Sales- man." It was difficult to tell what was original in this evening and what was not, since no programs were given out. Surely the P.A.P. Tcould not have imagined that we could forget this great opus, which was last printed in the 1957 an- nual edition of "More Trash from Mad Magazine," under the title "Death to a Salesman." Anonymity Now that the opinion has been given, what ab'out the criteria? The Packard Avenue Playreaders an- nounced that they wished to re- main anonymous. That wish will be honored. It is likely that many were graduate students, presum- ably in English. One, at least, was a full professor. Is it too outrageous to expect that when a scholarly mind turns to humorous diversion, the humor will be commensurate with his aca- demic ability, and not lifted from Mad Magazine? The evening's pre- tenses were academic to be sure -the five playreaders wore aca- demic gowns and mortarboards. One was a doctoral robe from Har- vard. Unfortunately, they fell flat on their facade.
