Clark, poet-scholar Sy Kahn, and the beard- ed, strumming, singing author-illustrator of children's books, Eric Von Schmidt, through the UC Special Events Committee's Meet the Author series. USF was boosted to new literary planes, too, by the guests of the Speech Department's spring Poetry Festival. Cln the classroom, lecture hall, and workshop the students heard Archibald MacLeish and Robert Wallace read, instruct, critique.J and by English Club guests including dramatist- critic Lewis O. Coxe on Drama Today: Art or Happening. Other lecture programs on campus ran in the political ring to bring to the Uni- versity Georgia legislator Julian Bond, Wil- liam O. Douglas of the U. S.
