Storyteller, poet lectures with emotion
By Leah Poffch
THECOLLEGIAN
In their advertising, the Univer¬
sity Lecture Series labeled their
second speaker of the semester a
poet, storyteller, translator and lec¬
turer. But who could have guessed
Robert Bly was all of these at once.
Last night in the Satellite Stu¬
dent Union Bly gave a lecture that
had a usual style but produced a
powerful and emotional response.
For the 700 people there, Bly wasa
poet, storyteller, comic and friend.
In between this he stuck in his two
cents about several of today's is¬
sues.
As ULS Director Susan Vasquez
put it Bly's words and style "met
people on many different levels.**
He did this by doing and saying so
many different things.
Most of the time Bly read po¬
etry, bom his own and his friends'.
Each poem had a differenf mean¬
ing and provoked different emo¬
tions in the audience. Some poems
were very funny, some were sad,
and others'were very reflective.
Bui with every poem the audience
could see some meaning it had for
Coordinator for Psychological
Services, Ronald Perry said, 'It's
not only what he talks about but
how he does that" And what Bly
seemed to do was create an infor¬
mal and cozy setting for people to
just rit back and listen to a story.
Without even having a podium,
Bly created a kind of classic story¬
teller setting wherein he sometimes
sat in his chair reading a poem and
other times playing his banjo-like
instrument He said music helps
the poetry "come into your heart"
And it seemed to work. Bly
wanted to get the poems, which
seemed to come from his heart into
the. heart of his audience. He had
some, very heart-felt poems. The
storyteller side of him came out
when explaining poems he was 1
The stories explaining the po¬
ems were almost more interesting
than the poems. Like the few po¬
ems he read about his parents; be
talked about bis father being en
alcoholic and how it took Bly 48
years before be could write about
himia his poems. Bly then read the
poem he read at his fathers* funeral
which was touching and powerful.

Library dean responds to pleas for extended hours
By Mary A. Ptvoverofl
#HECOLfcEGIAN 	
Frustration shows on the face of
a student planning to study on a
Friday night at the Henry Madden
Library. His frown is reflected in
the locked glass doors forced to
close because of recent budget cuts.
The pleas to extend the library's
hours have not gone unheard says
Dean of Library Services Michael
Gorman. Bet they have been qui-
.*<eted "down somewhat by rising
. ' According to Gorman, in order
to just open the Madden Library
doors there must be a minimal sjtaff
present in order to cover at least a
few of the many special sections of
the library.
"The hours we are open are de¬
pendent on our student assistant
budget" Gorman said.
It costs $500 per week to staff
! the library. In order to keep the
library open just one hour more a
day would result in arise in costs of
$8,000perse-    _^

Gorman said.
There is
also the con¬
cent ofbuying
much needed
materials
such as books
and periodi-	
cals.The price
of journals are going up well above
die inflation rate, Gorman said.
In the past two years 800 titles
of journals have been canceled,

"We're not canceling any more,"
Kallenberg said, adding that the
library currently houses 2,800 ac¬
tive subscriptions.
But the cut-back has had a defi-
complaints are "pretty common.'*
This growing concern is shared
byGorman.
"Students need the best current
literature in order to supplement
their studies,'* Gorman said. "Not
collection of jour¬
nals is dangerous
for a serious stu¬
dent."
Gorman added
that in order to
keep costly peri¬

"I don't think that less hours will
hurt a student's studies that much,
but the loss of books and journals is
the most frustrating thing." V       rt
