Ebe Dies

Director of University printing

his home in Georgetown Green.

Mr. Ebe, a 1952 graduate of

at the Ebenezer Baptist Church with

The Balch Fund and the English
Department will sponsor a poetry reading
by John Ashbery tonight at 8 p.m. in
room 301, James Wilson Hall.

Mr. Ashbery is a Harvard graduate and
has done graduate work at Columbia and
New York University. He has served as an
art critic for the New York Herald

In recent years he has served as editor

Mr. Ashbery is recognized as a major
innovative poet and has been very
influential in the avant-garde movement
in poetry.

Russian Reception Plans

Tentative plans are being made to hold
a student reception for the Russian track
team currently participating in Richmond
meets.

Should the team decide to visit the
Charlottesville area Saturday, their
agenda would include a stopover at
Monticello, a luncheon with President
Shannon as well as faculty and student
leaders, followed by a guided tour of the
Grounds, and a reception at 3:30 p.m. in
the Informal Lounge on the third floor of
Newcomb Hall.

The track meet in Richmond will be
held tomorrow so it is still speculative as to
whether the 60-member team will decide
to make the scheduled trip Saturday.

According to student council representative Dave Horan, who is
organizing many of the activities, that
decision will not be made until tomorrow.

Ad Hoc Honor Meeting

An organizational meeting for
Students Concerned about the Honor
System, an ad hoc group supporting
retention of the present Honor System,
will be held at 4 p.m. today in 301 Wilson
Hall.

The meeting will include a discussion
of the upcoming advisory referendum on
the Honor System. All interested students
are invited.
