Art Museum'
To Display
Arctic Work
Currently on exhibit in the
Alumni Memorial Hall is "Eskimo
Art of the Canadian Eastern Arc-
tic," which will continue through
October 11.
The exhibit was assembled by
Eskimo Art, Inc., Ann Arbor, in
cooperation with the Canadian
Handicrafts Guild and the De-
partment of Northern Affairs,
Canadian Government.
After being on display at the
University, the collection will be
circulated to museums throughout
the country .under the auspices of
the Smithsonian Institution,
'Washington, D. C.
The objects in the current exhi-
bition were made on BaffinIsland
and 'adjoining districts surround-
ing Hudson Bay in northern Can-
/ada : They represent a traditional
craft carried on through succes-
sive generations which primitive
man believed assisted him in con-
trolling his environment.
The materials include soap-
stone, amphibolite and many of
the harder stones; walrus and
narwhal ivory; various types of
bone, antler, and musk ox horn.
Simple knives made from scrap
metal and rough shaping utensils
as well as modern saws and files
are employed by the Eskimos.
"Theirs is a universal rather
than a specialized art which is
shared by the, craftsman, and the
characteristics of a particular dis-
trict may occasionally be identi-
fied by the observer faimiliar with
their work," Museum Director
Charles Sawyer commented.

Mahaia Brings Message to Audience

By MILDA GINGELL
"Have you any rivers you think
uncrossable; any mountains you
can't toil through? My God .spe-
cializes in what seems impossible
and He can do what no other
power can do."
These words sung by Mahalia
Jackson, "the world's greatest
gospel singer," also reflect the
philosophy of her life.
Miss Jackson said she is not
merely attempting to entertain,
but is trying to bring the message
of Christ to her audiences. "To
me, He's everything," she divulged.
"Sows the Seed"
"I do my part to sow the seed,"
she continued, "and many accept
it enthusiastically."
"In this confused world, we
need somebody . bigger than you'
and I, somebody we can depend
upon," the gospel singer remarked.
Although Miss Jackson once
wanted to become, a nurse, she

Rules Booklet Published;
Group Regulations Revised
(Continued from Page 1)
After functioning for one year as a colony, it can petition for
recognition as a fraternity or sorority.
In another section the whole system of chaperones for closed
social events has been made more simple. Married couples at least
26 years old and unmarried members of the faculty of the rank of
instructor or above are eligible to be chaperones.
In organized housing units with a resident director no addi-
tional chaperones would be necessary and in groups where there is
no resident director at least two chaperoning couples must be
present. Even though there are chaperones present the full responsi-
bility for seeing that University regulations are observed falls to
the officers and members of the organization.
In other areas such as those concerned with closing hours for
women students the new regulations merely brings the old booklet
up to date. These deal mainly with the calling hours for women
guests in men's residences and for the calling hours for men in
women's residences.
Also, in bringing up to date the section concerning the presence
of intoxicating beverages in student quarters the interpretation
given to it by the Joint Judic last year was included.
In this interpretation, student quarters were defined as being
University residence halls, fraternities, cooperatives, league houses
and other residences in which student groups which are recognized
by the University live. Further; the definition includes any private
room or apartment in which one or more students live who are
under 21.
As the present booklet applies pnly to student organizations
all regulations in the old booklet that pertained solely to individuals
have been deleted. This included such sections as those that dealt
with Automobile Regulations.
The present plans are for the regulations to be mimeographed
and distributed. They will be evaluated over a one year period at
which time another committee similar to the one which reviewed
the 1954 version will make the necessary alterations.

feels her rewards would have been
similar since she Is still affiliated
with God's children.
Americans 'More Expressive'
"Americans are becoming more
expressive in their religious be-
liefs now," Miss Jackson noted.
"More people attend church; re-
ligious literature is more widely
accepted now than ever before,
and most of all, they are applying
their beliefs in their everyday
life."
She seemed very happy to say
that "Catholics come to hear me
sing and invite me to their
churches. Americans are coming
to worship God as one and seem
less concerned with denomina-
tion."
Helped Humanity
Before her professional career
began with a hit . record some 20
years ago, Miss Jackson worked in
missions and revivals trying to
bring "the message" to dope ad-
dicts and alcoholics among others.
"That's the purpose of religion -
to help humanity," she empha-
sized.
The great gospel singer chooses
the songs she feels like singing
and those she thinks the audience
would like to hear.
After bringing tears to the eyes
of many in the audience, she
would break into a lively number
with the audience clapping in
time to the music.
Miss Jackson stopped in the
middle of one of her lively songs
"to show my youngsters here how
to clap with the music."
songs of this dynamic gospel sing-
The audience accepted the
er so enthusiastically that she was
obliged to sing two encores. The
final applause in the Ann Arbor
High School auditorium Saturday
must have been heard for miles
around.

By CAROL LEVENTEN
Speaking on "Chaucer as a Poet,"
Prof. C. L. Wrenn of Oxford Uni-
versity yesterday discussed his
place in the continuity of English
literature.
He emphasized the importance
of reading Chaucer's works for
their poetic, rather than historical,
qualities in this year's first Eng-
lish department lecture yesterday.
"Chaucer was one of the most
language-conscious writers," Prof.
Wrenn said, "and I would like you
to think of him in the written
tradition of English poetry." His
outlook was not that of the Ren-
aissance; he was still within the
medieval tradition, Prof. Wrenn
explained.
"When we like what he says we
point to the forward-looking
Chaucer, the man of the. Renais-
sance, but when we 'neither like
nor understand him we say he is
didactic and back in the Middle
Ages," he offered.
Moralized in Humor
Although much attention is
focused on Chaucer, the humorist,
the medieval character to which
he adhered did not object to
moralizing in its entertainment.
And there is just as much of the
"morally-edifying Chaucer whom
we ignore'as there is of the social
humori'st whom we love; the two
are one," the Oxford professor em-
phasized.
Chaucer took in simple things
that were "unexplained, unsym-
bolized, without the inner mean-
ing known," he said, "and that
attitude is just what you find -in
Old English poetry- notably in
'Beowulf'; there is a continuity in
his religious thought and his ap-
preciation of nature," Prof. Wrenn
suggested.
Qualifies Title
Since Dryden's time, Chaucer
has been called the father of
English poetry. According to Prof.
Wrenn, this should be corrected to
:read "father of early modern
English poetic diction."
"I think Chaucer has passed
some of the conventional poetic
diction of later .medieval poetry
into the English poetic tradition;
from him there is a line of con-
tinuity running through Spenser
and Milton up through the 18th
Century," he declared.
Not enough work has been done
on Chaucer as a romantic, Prof.
Wrenn suggested, referring to the
poet's "Land of magical enchant-
ment." Although Chaucer satirizes
a number of aspects of popular
and literary romances, at- times
there is evidence .that he feels a
subtle attraction to "the mys-
terious Celtic world."
Compared to Wordsworth
Chaucer was the first to bring
poetry close to conversation when
necessary, and yet keep Its poetic
value intact, Prof. Wrenn noted,
and compared this to the effect
Wordsworth announced he was
striving for in the preface to the
"Lyrical Ballads."
Prof. Wrenn emphasized the
great variation in Chaucer's style
-the deliberate use of familiar
rhetorical pattern in the prologue
to the "Canterbury Tales" as con-
trasted with the familiar, conver-
sational diction of the tales them-
selves. "In the opening of 'The
Nun's Priest's Tale," he uses the
exact speech and diction of his
time, and yet it is poetry."
"He is able to use a lyric vein,
on the other hand, and I find
him very tuneful in this," Prof.
Wrenn commented, explaining
that Chaucer, though not pro-
found in expressing the lyric

mood, could strike a more truly
lyric note when the subject ap-
pealed to him.
Dislikes Historical View
Prof. Wrenri took issue with the
current practice of reading Chau-
cer for his place in the history of
ideas, and of treating the "Canter-
bury Tales" as a "great sociologi-
cal document."
"I think Chaucer intended to be
a poet." There is no doubt that he
consciously strove after what he
calls the "art poetic," Prof. Wrenn
said.
"He is still studied for history,
and only lip service is, paid to the
meter.
"My appeal is to read him as a
poet; he thought as a poet and
tried as a poet and I think it's
only fair to give him a chance.
And he ends Troilus and Creesida
