As the peace talks neared,
French sources said "everything

cure a truce in the bloody fight

Russians want the negotiations
conducted directly with the Viet
minh.

AGENDA
Former Prof
Wins Prize
For Poetry
By PADDY BEAHAN
Theodore Roethke, recipient of
the 1954 Pulitzer Prize for poetry,
was assistant professor of English
composition at the University
from 1936 to 1946 and tennis coach
during that time.
Roethke, now associate profes
sor of English at the University
of Washington, Seattle,' Monday
was awarded the $5OO prize for a
collection of poems, "The Waking:
Poems 1933-1953."
He is considered by William
L. Werner, professor of American
literature and authority on Penn
State authors, as the University's
"most famous poet-professor." He
is the author of four poetry books.
Roethke received his B.A. and
M.A. degrees from the University
of Michigan and was connected
with public relations at Lafayette
College before he came to the
University in 1936. He had already
published poetry and book re
views in such magazines as "At
lantic Monthly," "Saturday Re
view of Literature," and "Poetry."
As assistant professor of Eng
lish Composition at the Univer
sity, he taught a poetry course and
sections of freshman composition.
His poetry students included Da
vid Wagoner, now instructor in
English composition, whose first
collection of poetry, "Dry Sun, Dry
Wind" appeared last year.
Roethke obtained a leave of ab
sence in 1941 to teach in Ben
nington College. He returned to
the University in 1946 and left for
Seattle in 1947. His first book,
"Open House," was published in
1941. The original manuscript and
galley proofs of this book are now
on display in the second floor of
the University Library.
He received Guggenheim Foun
dation fellowships in 1945 and
1950 and a fellowship in 1952 from
the Fund for the Advancement of
Education. Also in 1952, he was
cited for an award by the Aineri
can Academy of Arts and Letters.
He received the Eunics Tietjens
prize in poetry in 1947 and the
Levinson award of "Poetry" mag
azine in 1951.
