DEPARMENTAL HISTORY Professor Katharine Turner is currently com- piling a history of the ASU Department of English, one of the oldest and by far the largest departments of the University. The history will be one of numerous histories being compiled under the general direction of Alfred Thomas Jr., University Archivist. Dr. Turner has been a member of the department since 1946, coming to ASU just as the enormous increase in enrollments was taking place following World War II. At the time of her appointment to the ASU faculty the Department of English con- sisted of I4 full-time teachers. Professor Turner holds the Ph.D. degree from the University of Michigan. POETRY SOCIETY HOLDS CONFERENCE The Arizona State Poetry Society held its fourth annual conference at the A.S.U. Memorial Union on November 23, 1974.

English faculty served as workshop leaders: Professor Richard B. Erno spoke on "The Poem as Process," Professor Katharine C. Turner on "Elements of Revision," and Associate Professor George R. Her- man on "Pursuing the Elusive Cliche." Dr. Wilfred A. Ferrell extended greetings to the session on behalf of the University and the Department of English. ENGLISH LITERATURE IN TRANSITION English Literature in Transition: 1880- /920 ap- peared in Vol. 17 (1974) and 18 (1975) under the editorship of Professor Helmut E. Gerber. A 15- year cumulative index to ELT has been compiled by Mary Ellen and Bernard Quint, graduate students in the Department of English. Dr. Gerber has written an introduction. The Arizona Com- mission on the Arts and Humanities has made available a grant for the publication of the index, which is to be published in July, I975. Volumes I to I I (1957-1968) of ELThave been reprinted in hardcover by Kraus Reprint Cor- poration, and Volumes I to 16 (1957-1973) are reprinted in microform by Johnson Associates. INDIANA STATE NAMES LANDINI PRESIDENT Professor Richard G. Landini, a member of the Department of English at A.S.U. from 1959 to I970, has been appointed President of Indiana State University at Terre Haute and will assume his new duties at the beginning of July. Dr. Landini combined his departmental teaching obligations with several administrative ap - pointments, serving first as Assistant Dean of the Graduate College and later as Assistant to the President to both Dr. G. Homer Durham·and Dr. Harry K. Newburn. He left A.S.U. in 1970 to become a Vice President at the University of Mon- tana . A number of faculty and student leaders at In- diana State have expressed interest in Dr. Landini's reputation as a "liberal thinker." He achieved that reputation in the late I960's when he joined a cam- pus "silent protest" of the Vietnam War. Members of the Arizona State Legislature seized on the in- cident to override plans for an A.S.U. campus at Litchfield Park of which Dr. Landini was to have been dean. Dr. Landini is a native of Florida. He earned his Bachelor's and Master's degrees at the University of Miami, and his Doctorate ·at the University of Florida. ..................... , ......

GEORGE MOORE COLLECTIO ADDED TO ASU LIBRARY One of the world's foremost collections of works by George Moore. an Irish poet, dramatist, novelist, and critic who lived from 1852 10 1933, was acquired by Hayden Library with the assistance of the ASU Library Associates and the Alumni Association. The collection contains more than 600 unique items including many rare 1ransla1ions, scarce single copies of periodicals, and some complete runs of rare periodicals. There·are also typescripts, proof copies, and some letters. Dr. Donald W. Koepp, ASU Librarian. has called the collection a "rare opportunity to reinforce library holdings of 19th Century British Literature." The collection was purchased from Edwin Gilcher and emphasizes scholarly usefulness. The only other complete collection of Moore's work is 1ha1 of Frank Fayant and is located at Cornell University . It emphasizes fine book bindings - the book as art. Professor Helmut E. Gerber of the Department of English has been much interested in the Moore collection. Moore himself was involved in much of the cultural activity of his time, not only poetry and painting in France, but writing of novels. He is described as having "twice recreated the English novel." He is also the first lilerary figure 10 write as a critic of the Impressionist painters and of the works of Verlaine, Rimbaud, and Laforgue. Professor Gerber commented: "Because Moore was extraordinarily sensitive to the literary and cultural currents of his time, and because of his wide range of interests, he is a significant tran- sitional figure in the period from about 1875 to 1933 . His collection will provide significant op - portunities for graduate students to develop disser- tation topics in bibliography, publishing, history, textual studies, esthetics and criticism. The collec- tion will benefit those ASU professors actively engaged in research during this literary period." FIVE RECEIVE PH.D.

"HISTORY AND ART OF THE FILM" IS POPULAR COURSE English 360: "History and Art of the Film" first appeared in the Schedule of Classes as an offering of the Department of English in 1972, and had an enrollment of about 75 students. The course has now been offered three times and the enrollment has grown to more than 400. Professor Nicholas A. Salemo. who originally conceived the four-hour of- fering, has taught it since the beginning. The course begins with silent shorts from the era of D. W. Griffith and Edwin S. Porter, and con- cludes with films as recent as ''Cabaret." Following the introductory films there are four weeks of such silent classics as "The Birth of a Nation," "Potemkin," and '"The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari." Twelve weeks of sound/color motion pictures may vary from semester to semester with respect 10 the particular films screened, but they have included '"Singin' in the Rain," "Sunset Boulevard," "Citizen Kane," "The Wizard of Oz," "A - Thousand Clowns," and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" Guest speakers have included Don Heraldson. formerly of Hanna-Barbera Studios, dealing with animation, and Charlton Heston, who showed and discussed his version of "Antony and Cleopatra," still 10 be released. Many of the films selected for the course are derived from literary sources and in such instances the text and film versions are compared. In some cases it has been possible to present several ver- sions: two versions of •·wuthering Heights," "An American Tragedy," Isherwood's "Berlin Stories," and "Cabaret," and three versions of "Julius Caesar" and " Macbeth ." The course takes up seven hours of actual classroom time consisting of two lecture sessions totalling three hours, and one "laboratory" session, that is, four hours screening of the films. The films are ordinarily rented for classroom showing, but the Department of English is building up its own collection of films, particularly silents. During the fall of 1975-76, A.S.U. will formally offer an Interdisciplinary Film Studies Program as either a related field in the Colleges of Liberal Arts and Fine Arts, or as a teaching minor in the College of Education. English 360 will be included as one of the required courses. Katharine Armour :Smalarz, Joanne M.

The course was suggested by a number of teachers from Scottsdale who envisioned it as a means of bringing in a wide spectrum of interests and topics, considerably broader than the con• ven1ional extension course. Various professors would speak on their specialities in English literature, language or ins1ruc1ional methods. The Department in turn welcomed the course as an op- portuni 1y to provide additional " financial flexibility" for Departmental enterprises. Shortly before registration evening, a 101al of 43 teachers - an encouraging number - had signed up. Word spread rapidly, and by the time of the second meeting the enrollment had swelled 10 I36. In fact, the place of meeting needed 10 be changed several times in order to accommodate the unex- pectedly large attendance. The following topics were offered: "The Crisis in Composition: Basic Skills." Dr. Frank D'Angelo; "The State of the Language and Communication," J. J. Lamberts; "The Film as a Genre," Nicholas A. Salerno; "New lns1ruc1ional Techniques in English," Lynn Nelson; "The Language of Doublespeak," Del Kehl ; "Sexism in Language and Li1era1ure," Don and Alleen Nilsen; "Censorship and the Selection of Instructional Materials," Ken- neth Donelson; "Teaching Contemporary Drama," Marianna Brose; "Teaching Critical Reading," Robert E. Shafer; "Multimedia and the Teaching of English," William T. Ojala; "Current Develop- ments in Writing for Young People," Kenneth Donelson; "The Grammar of Graffiti," Don L. Nilsen. Wilfred A. Ferrell, Department Chairman, con- ducted the registration and introduction and assumed responsibility for directing the course evaluation.
