Friday. Navombot Is. not SCARLET AND BLACK More Letters Can Poem Be Serious And light? Kuntz Calls For Readers Verdict To the Editor: The poet E. L. Mayo of Drake University spoke in the Fine Arts Series on November 5 Among the questions that bothered students. one was put to him at lunch: “All your‘ poems are very serious. Do you ever write light versez” He answered “no," and now I'm puzzled by “The Mole," which ap- pears in The Diver, published by the yniversity of Minnesota press, and copyrighted in 1947: “The Mole” When the mole goes digging He never meets a soul; The stars are inattentive To the motions of the mole. Peace Corps Exam Offered in Burling A Peace Corps placement ex« amination. which is the first Step toward possible Peace Corps as- signments, will be given next Sat< urday, Nov. 21, at 8:30 am. in Buriing Library. Persons interested in taking the exam must first contact Dale B. Terry, college registrar, or Le- torne Sequeira, director 01 place- ment and student aid. He digs his frantic tunnel Through chalk and clay and slime i-iis never-ending tunnel A mouthful at a time. Alone; no planet bothers To tell him where to dig. For males are very little And worlds are very big. And when his tunnel ceases The little mole lies stark. And at his back Is dimness, And at his head, the dark. So to the mole all honor And the labors of the mole, With doubtfulness for tunnel And ignorance for goal. My puzzle is this; first I thought it very amusing. But now my col- leagues say it's a serious poem, about philosophers, or about phil- osophers of certain kinds Perhaps you readers can decide. Can a poem be both serious and light, amusing and very sad? Paul G. Kuntz Tho 5&1! will welcome letters tram its readers on this topic. They should be in the post office box by Tuesday noon to appear in next week‘s paper. All letters must be signed.
