By Willabert Parks East is East and West is West, but occasionally they do meet. Currently in America on a Fullbright exchange is Mr. Arthur Wilks. Serving as an instructor in the English department, Wilks has exchanged cars, houses, and jobs with Mr. Angelo Carli, who taught English at Palomar for years and is now in England. Concerning his vocation in England Wilks stated, "I work at Neville's Cross College, which is a college of education, mainly concerned with the training of teachers in three and four year courses." Neville's Cross College is one of the sections of the Durham University. "It is residential, a small community of about 700, mainly women. I run the English Department, and although perhaps more than half of my time is taken up with administrative chores I do a fair amount of teaching and supervising students in school. "Classes are classes everywhere, and my teaching in England is not so very different from that in Palomar. Perhaps there it was a little more academic, and I spent a good deal of my time suggesting ways how people might teach English in schools . The students and staff in both places are nice and friendly," commented Wilks. Brought up in a suburb ofManchester, Wilks lived in a ''rambling-shambling"
auto as villain
old house built over and around a bank that was built right in the middle of the town and next to a railway station. The station was "a scheduled target forGerman bombers during the war, which undoubtedly kept us safe, except from our own side. There was an anti-aircraft gun hidden under a bridge which use to · emerge nightly, fire a few rounds and shatter all the windows in the vicinity. It never hit anything, so far as I know," he said. At the end of the war Wilks went into the Air Force "involuntarily," and then went to Oxford for "the big romantic period" in his life. ''I have never lived anywhere so beautiful, or so comfortable. We were just alone with all the books, beauty and comfort, to read and talk for three years." He then went to live in Bloomsbury, in central London, about a fifteen minute quick walk from Piccadilly. ''I got married a year or two after I went to live there, and my wife and I shared a five floor Georgian house with some friends, occupying part ourselves and letting off some in flats. Two of our three children were born there. ''It was an enormously gregarious life; it had to be since the main staircase of the house ran right through our flat. We acquired an enormous number of friends and acquaintances, and learned a tolerance for eccentricity. It was, I suppose, a fairly arty community, to use
the jargon of the day, very mixed and curiously classless. ''The central London streets in those days were like separate villages, each with its set of shops, and its small population of all ages and origins living in flats. ''We lived next to a pub called The Lamb, which before it became respec- · table--it's quite fashionable now--served cheap draught cider to Irish laborers working on the rebuilding of London. They got very drunk, and we always · seemed to be sending for ambulances to carry away the losers in the fights they held at closing time," recalled Wilks. Moving on to Romford, east of London, after nine years, Wilks and his family lived in what he supposed a real estate man would have called "a dream house." "It gave me nightmares, though I must concede it was rather a pretty place. The houses in the area where it stood had all been entries for an architects' competition in 1900, and some of them had had quite distinguished designers. Ours had a mansard roof, french windows, wisteria stuff, a lake next to it, big trees round it, and very respectable neighbors. After two years, I had become so dispirited at the prospect of another twenty-five years in that community or some other like it, that I took my present job in Durham," he said. (Continued on page 2)
