The self-imposed exUe from his native England has been writing poetry since he was 15 and his first book of poems was published when he was 20. During the past year alone he has had two volumes published, His "City Without Walls" appeared early in 1970 and his widely-haUed "A Certain World" made its appearance during the summer. Wystan Hugh Auden was born in Birmingham, England, in 1907. He has been a resident of the United States since 1929, and an American citizen since Duties to be split L.D. Hyde resigns L. D. Hyde, assistant to the president and director of alumni affairs at Western Carolina University, has resigned, effective March 31. Hyde, who joined the university staff in 1969, stated that one of his reasons for resignation was to enter business for himself in AshevUle. "I don't guess there is ever one reason for anyone resigning," Hyde sail, "but you can say that my main reason was that I'm going into business." Hyde graduated from Western Carolina College In 1962 and was the executive director of the Upper French Broad Economic Development Commission in AshevUle before becoming assistant to the president, "I am very happy with our success," Hyde said, speaking of the Alumni office. Since his acceptance of the position, the alumni office has started the Western Carolina University Magazine, which won two awards. The office has updated the address system, made lists of all graduates since the university's founding and of members of the alumni chapters, among other things. The alumni association has increased from three chapters to 18 chapters and the office has increased the working budget from less than $1000 to over $7000. Responsibilities for alumni affairs are being reorganized within the office of public information, Hyde also served with Frank H0 Brown, Jr. vice-president for administration, as co-director of the Patrons of Quality program. This responsibility has been transferred to the office for insti'utiotialresaarch and university development, "I have a warm relationship with the university," Hyde said, "and wUl continue to support it," When asked what he thought would happen to the alumni office, though, he said, "I don't know. I honestly don't know." 1946. Educated at Gresham's School, Holt, and at Christ Church, Oxford, he became associated early in his career with a small group of young writers in London, among them Stephen Spender and Christopher Isherwood. They soon became recognized as the most promising writers of that period and have continued to achieve literary distinction of the highest order. Auden collaborated with Isherwood on the plays, "The Dog Beneath The Skin", "The Ascent of F6" and "On The Frontier", as weU as on "Journey To A War", a prose record of experience in China. He has edited many anthologies, including "The Oxford Book of Light Verse" and with Norman Holmes Pearson, "Poets of the English Language". In collaboration with Chester Kallman, he has also written the libretti for Igor Stravinsky's opera, "The Rake's Progress" and for Hans Henze's opera, "Elegy For Young Lovers". His selected essays, "The Dyer's Hand" appeared in 1962. Auden is, however, best known for his poetry. His volumes of verse include "The Double Man", "For The Time Being", "The Age of Anxiety", "Nones", and "The Shield of Achilles", which received the National Book Award in 1956. That same year he was elected Professor of Poetry at Oxford University. "Homage To Clio" was published in 1960. He is today considered by many critics to be the greatest poet now writing i n English, and all of his works attract wide and favorable attention throughout the world. Most of his writing has been translated into several foreign languages. Last of a series Abortion for the unwed ? (SEE A PICTURE OF THE CONTESTANTS ON PAGE 8.);:;: (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the last of a three part series on abortions and how they effect WCU women. The first two parts of the series, done by Christy Martin, News Editor dealt with legal and illegal abortions. This wrap- up attempts to give an overall picture of the question of abortions and the problems with women on this campus in this area.) Research for the CAROLINIAN Abortion series found six WCU women who have had abortions since FaU quarter. This number could not possibly include the total number of women students who have had abortions, legally or otherwise. Neither does it include the number of women who think they are pregnant at this moment and are sitting around wondering what to do. Some of them may consider abortion, others wUl not, But abortion is an alternative to an unwanted pregnancy which is becoming more popular across the country and not just in Cullowhee. Since the beginning of the year, the CAROLINIAN office has received a showering of fact sheets from abortion agencies everywhere from New York to California to Pennsylvania. AU of these fact sheets have been primarUy commerciaUzed advertisements for the easy way out of an unwanted pregnancy. And they have all included a price list, ranging from $210 to $550. ("but this includes two nights m fine NYC hospital, etc.") But what about an unmarried WCU student who finds herself with an unwanted pregnancy and is wondering the best alternative for her problem. The first step is to talk to someone. It could be a friend who has been through a similar experience, it could be a counselor in the Mental Health Clinic. Or it could be Dr. Hugh Matthews. "I am assisting one or two pregnant students all the time," states Dr. Matthews. "What I like or what I don't like is not important, But when a girl chooses an alternative and can accept the responsibUity of it, then I wUl support her decision." Dr. Matthews states that in his twenty-five years in the medical profession, he has found that the most pressing problem in dealing with the unwanted pregnancy has not been the law. "The most limiting factor has been and is the unwillingness and/or the inability of the young ladies to share early their experience with their parents." He adds that in his experience, the girls who shared their problem with their parents have, after the initial outburst, found support, CONTINUED Page 8. . . .
