...tone of L.C. Austin's extended dirty joke does not change, but one wishes it would, for his poem on Nat. Sci. 3 is horrible, not only in conception, but in expression. Mr. Austin should discover the distinction between serious sensuality and blatantly lewd writing. In contrast, Anne Adams writes of Adam and Eve, seriously and with some success...
