Poet Brooks addresses
lHopwood Award winners
By SUE INGLIS
Although she has written hundreds of
sonnets, Pulitzer Prize winning poet
Gwendolyn Brooks said yesterday she
does not plan to write any more of
them.
"I don't think this is a time for son-
nets," she told the 11 winners of the 1981
Avery and Jule Hopwood Contest for
freshpersons and sophomores, "It's a
time for wild, raw, free verse in which
rhymes may seem to creep in at
times."
BROOKS, WHO spoke before about
225 people in- Rackham Lecture Hall,
described her poetry as "life distilled."
After offering congratulations to the
Hopwood writing award winners, she
said, "I'm going to distill for you," and
recited nine of her poems.
Laurie Porter, a Residential College
sophomore, won the top prize money of
$250 for her first place essays "The
Dream of Stardom" and "A Chocolate
Kiss."
In the fiction category, Bradford
Parks, an LSA freshman, earned first
place and $200 for his piece, "The
Music."
The $150 first-place award in the
poetry category was given, to Residen-
tial College freshwoman Erica Littler
for her poem, "Fat Birds/Stupid
Boys."
HOPWOOD AWARD winners shared
a total of $1,850 in prize money. Funding
for the award comes from a bequest left
the University by alumni playwright
Avery Hopwood. The contest takes
place in spring and summer as well as
the winter, with the most prestigious
award presented in the spring.

INTERESTED LS&A STUDENTS
LS&A Student Government is holding interviews for:
2 seats on the Student-Faculty Policy Board.
1 seat on the LS&A Student Government Council.
1 seat on the Michigan Student Assembly.
Interviews will be held Monday, Jan. 26.
Hopwood manuscripts are read by
two judges in each category who then
rank them in order of preference, ac-
cording to Hopwood Program Coor-
dinator Anrea Beauchamp. Judges are
usually University English professors
who are not currently teaching a
writing class, she added.
Before the ceremony, Brooks chatted
with aspiring poets and prose writers
who came to have coffee with her. She
answered questions and talked about
the role of the black poet, the current
forms that prose and poetry are taking,
and the craft of writing in general.
Brooks deplored what she saw as 'a
cheapening of the language."
"Journalism is getting shabbier and
shabbier," she said. "Fiction writers
seem to think that if they have a little
sprinkling of sex, well, then that's all
that's necessary. I think Tom Wolfe is
doing the best with new journalism."
Brooks, who holds 40 honorary doc-
torate degrees, is best known for her
poems "The Riot" and "The Tiger Who
Wore White Gloves." A Poet Laureate
of Illinois, she has authored 15 books
and is a recipient of the Shelley
Memorial Award.

Nazi
guard
may be
WASHINGTON (AP)-A former Nazi
death camp guard who has lived in this
country for 31 years must be stripped of
his U.S. citizenship the Supreme Court
ruled yesterday.
By a 7-2 vote, the justices said 73-
year-old Feodor Fedorenko "illegally
procured" his U.S. citizenship in 1979
because he lied to immigration officials
when entering the country in 1949.
THE FEDERAL government now
can strip Fedorenko of his citizenship
and move to deport him.
The court's decision made clear that
even if government prosecutors did not
think it necessary to take away
Fedorenko's citizenship, the Im-
migration and Nationality Act demands

Returnees tell stories of
torture during captivity
From United Press International
Stories of beatings, deprivation and
mental torture began to emerge from
the freed American hostages yesterday
in phone calls to their families.
The details were sketchy, described
in emotional tones by loved ones who
tried to recall everything said in phone
calls a half a world away after 14 mon-
ths of agonized waiting.
IN ONE OF the calls from Wiesbaden,
West Germany, former economic and
commercial officer Malcolm Kalp, 42,
told his brother and sister-in-law he had
been beaten and put in solitary con-
finement for between 150 and 170 days
because of his attempts to escape the
American Embassy in Iran.
"He told us he had tried to escape
several times," said Linda Kalp in
Brocton, Mass., the wife of Kalp's
brother Richard.
"That sounded like him," she said.
"We knew that if anyone didn't
cooperate with him he wouldn't
cooperate either. We knew he was a
tough guy and he wasn't going to take
anything lying down," she said.
MARINE SGT. Johnny McKeel told
his mother, Wynona, of Balch Springs,
Texas, that his captors said she was
dead in an effort to get him to
cooperate. He kept asking about the
family, wanting to be sure everybody
was all right," she said. "They told him
I was dead when they interrogated him.
"They told him they'd let him come
home if he talked to them. They Only
gave him three of our letters," she skid.
"They even took away his watch and
his billfold, so he'd be confused, so.he
wouldn't know what time it was." .
Donald Cooke, vice consul at the km-
bassy, told his parents, Ernest and
Susan Cooke of Mamphis, Tenn., that
he spent most of the year in a prison
near the Caspian Sea after the faIled
rescue attempt in April.
Fraud found in cancer research
NEW YORK (AP) - A medical
researcher who admitted faking some
data also reported growing human can-
cer cells which have now proved to be
monkey cells, scientists say in an ar-
ticle to be published today.
The article in the British scientific
journal Nature throws a new cloud over
the work of Dr. John Long. Scientists
said the incident may have slowed
basic research into Hodgkin'sdisease,
a lymph system cancer that strikes
7,100 Americans and causes 1,700 death
a year.
THE SCIENTISTS who re-examined
Long's work said there was no eyidence
of deliberate fraud involving the
cultures.
Long, a former researcher at Har-
vard medical school, has admitted that
although he learned in 1979 that the cell
lines might have been misidentified, he
concealed the problem from co-
workers.
He was forced to resign from the
medical school and Massachusetts
General Hospital in Boston last
January after admitting he falsified

parts of the data in a 1979 scientific
paper on the cultures.
ALL OF THE PAPERS referring
directly to the now-challenged cell
cultures will have to be reassessed to
see if-any data of scientific value can be
salvaged," Nature said in a draft ver-
sion of a news story accompanying the
scientists' article.
The incident was confined to basic
research and did not affect the treat-
ment of any 'Hodgkin's disease patien-
ts.
Long had reported growing ur
stable cancer cell lines since 1973.
