By ANDREW HAWLEY
John Heath-Stubbs, a young
British poet who has published
several books of verse and criti-
cism, left the University last week
to return to London after two se-
mesters as a visiting lecturer in
English literature.
He has not decided what he will
do, but he wants to stay in Lon-
don, where he would like to find
"some kind of editing job."
In addition to his year at the
University, Heath-Stubbs taught
English in Alexandria, Egypt, from
1955 to 58. He also visited Mexizo
last summer.
However, he finds that "traveling
has no direct effect on my poetry.
I am too much of an introvert to
write directly about things I've
observed."
Two Poems
For example, Heath-Stubbs
wrote two poems about Alexandria
-one before he went there and
one afterwards. "No one could telll

county, Along with three students
from the University of Texas, we
had visited the "Tent City," which
was set up in Fayette county to
house displaced Negro tenant
farmers.
When we returned to Somerville,
the county seat of Fayette, we
entered a restaurant. Before our
food was served, the local police
entered and questioned us for an
hour and a half. They warned us
that since strangers weren't wel-
comed by the townspeople it
would be best for us to stay out.
We then left.
Two days later we returned to
Somerville to talk to the editor of
the local weekly. While we were
eating, local teen-agers started to
gather outside the restaurant
door. Fearing trouble, we left and
walked back to the editoi's office
where we called the sheriff and
the state police.
Crowd Grows
During the 10 minutes it took
the sheriff to arrive, the crowd

grew. The sheriff assured us that
there would be no trouble. The
state police also arrived. We were
able to drive away without fur-
ther incident.
In the South, little is needed
to provoge intimidation by the
white citizens. In Fayette and
Haywood counties seemingly in-
significant matters are enough to
trigger harassment by townspeople
and law enforcement officials.
Northern license plates, boxes of
food or clothing or association
with members of the Negro com-
munity -however little -subject
you to intimidation.
Although most of the white
people, as did the judge, will at-
tempt to convey the impression
that there is no need, that the
Negroes are being provided for,
this was not my impression.
The physical condition of the
shacks in which the Negroes live
ds pathetic. For most, the tents
in which they now live are far
superior to the housing they, had
before.
In Nashville, I found that the
average income for a Negro fam-
ily in Fayette is only $706 a year.
The average years of education
total less than seven.
The government is testing the
ability of the landlords in Fay-
ette county to dispossess their
tenants for other than economic
reasons in a court case that will
be tried on Feb. 20 in the district
court located in Cincinnati.
