THE MICHIGAN DAILY WMNFRMV nFVVMAW9l?, a lan"I theatre Former CBS News Reporter. Students Hold Rent Strike Labels VietnamWar 'Immoral' In New Apartment Building Terkels 'Grace': Su By RICHARD AYERS The seventh play in the PTP's few Play Project premiered last ight. Studs Terkel's "Amazing' trace" is, on the surface-but mly on the surface-a straight- orward drama about an old city otel. The play has a disturbing; ndercurrent. Beneath the cliches of the dia- gue, cliches which represent the 'ay people actually speak, is a ery subtle development of the haracters' understanding. The haracters often moralize, but it is mily in their actions that they eally express themselves. Jack Dellakamp, the son of a otel-owner, has committed mur- er, escaped from an insane asy- im and is .the voice of sanity the modern city. In opposition his untouchable and frightened rother Charlie, Jack takes all the sks he is faced with. Perhaps the best-constructed aaracter is Peg, the mother and otel-owner. She is filled with a >rt of ambiguity, with the pos- essiveness of a mother and yet n understanding of freedom. But lost importantly, she has what erkel would describe as a "feel- 1g tone," .a feeling for life which ould not be understood by her ncommitted, "straight" son. She rows what the whole city is tell- ig: lier to do and yet she feels a uch more human love for people. It is this ambiguity which allows er to raise compliant citizen like tarlie and forbids her to kick at her old boarders. In the end, of course, it is Charlie who de- stroys her by following the rules. Cathleen Nesbitt, the mother, gives a most striking and brilliant performance. With the spunk of a tough Irish immigrant, Miss Nes- bitt dominates the stage with her CAST A Man...............Jay Devlin 1 A Girl...............Verna gloom Charle Dellakamp ..

The audience never failed to respond to her slightest intonations or gestures, which is a mark of her genius.I Of crucial importance is the act-l ing of Victor Buono, her rebellious son Jack. Creating a role of fan- tastic spirit, Mr. Buono is a major1 ccessful asset to the play. With immense size and an immense personality, he communicates a defiance of the depersonalizing city in a phys- ical as well as verbal dimension. He displays a genius for comedy, which is so important for his posi- tion in she face of tragedy. Two other actors must be men- tioned, as their performances create a delightful and important background for the actions of the family. The two old hotel tenants, Paul Andor (Rudy) and Victor Kilian (Mr. Guthrie), carry their roles with great zest. The charact- ers of these two men alone could make a very enjoyable short play. Using the people of the city and the conflicts evident at the bottom of society, Terkel raises compel- ling questions about the direction society is being led from the top. It is an exciting play and should be seen. { 1 a _ i 1 By MARK TURNAMIAN Criticizing the United States Calling the Vietnam war "un- participation in the war, Schoen- just and immoral," David Schoen- brun declared that Vietnam is, the brun, a former CBS news cor- "single most important issue fac- respondent, said that "fascists" ing the U.S." because it "does control the government of South great injury to our great repub- Vietnam. lic creatures To Go to Court (Continued from Page 1) tions on campus in the future.

Holmes said. the architecture school complain- i :, publicly expressed their dissatis- faction with administration re- calcitrance. However the engineering col- lege faculty condemned Cinema Guild in a resolution requested by Prof. John E. Powers of the chemical and metallurgical en- gineering department. Powers' resolution urged "an appropriate action to regain some point of equilibrium" between "those outside the academic com- munity who might seek to restrict it and from those inside who inter- pret such freedom as license to go beyond the bounds of common decency." Prof. Robert Beyer of the zo- ology department answered Pow- ers' resolution in a letter to The Daily: "I would suggest that some1 thought be given to the role of the University in, and the contribution that the University can make to, society. Society is well able to pre- serve the old customs when they have untility and value. Unfor- tunately, society also seems anxi- ous to preserve old customs which have lost their values." Before entering the case as "amicus curiae," the Civil Liber- ties Board of the Faculty Senate interviewed Miss Frank and Prof. Cohen a few days after the ar- raignment to' determine if Cin- ema Guild was "a group with serious educational and cultural goals in mind." Their decision was affirmative. According to' Executive Vice- President Marvin L. Niehuss, this was "the first time an organized faculty group has formally backed' students in a court case." Speaking at the first in a series of Ann Arbor Community Forums, Schoenbrun, who has just re-I turned from a tour of fifteen As- ian countries, including North Vietnam, said he "does not un- derstand" the United States at- titude towards communism. 'We Changed' He traced Vietnamese history from the end of World War II to the current American involve- ment in Southeast Asia and claim- ed that "we have changed, not Ho Chi Minh." Schoenbrun visited Hanoi and talked with Ho Chi Minh while in North Vietnam. Schoenbrun was the CBS bureau chief. from 1947 to 1961, and1 Washington bureau chief from; 1961 to 1963. Schoenbrun is now working for Metromedia Broad- casting and is a graduate in- structor at Columbia University. A f t e r Schoenbrun finished speaking, a four member panel commented on what the news an- alyst had said. 'Pre erve Freedom' George F. Lemble, organizer of the Washtenaw County Conser- vatives, felt that the war'in Viet- nam was necessary in order to' preserve "freedom." Robert K. Jagitsch, Ann Arbor City Councilman (R - Fourth Ward), expressed the opinion that the U.S. had an obligation to "stay and see the job through" in Viet- nam. Support of the administration's stand on Vietnam was also voiced by Prof. Richard L. Park of the political science department, and a member for the Center for South and Southeast Asia Studies. No Political Solution The sole opponent to the admin- istration's policy was Prof. Rhoads W. Murphey of the geography de- partment. Murphy f e 1 t the problem in Vietnam was basically a political one and even if the United States did win a military victory, the political problem, would still remain. (Continued from Page 1) caused by the building's incomple- tion. Later, 134 residents replied in a tenant-written questionnaire that they were not satisfied with the $50 reduction. One of the students, Randy Birn- dorf, '69, said that all the apart- ments had complained to Charter before the signing of the rent strike petition. He added that Charter has "refused to mediate with representatives about any problems, including the common areas"-those parts of the building such as halls and grounds, not individual apartments. Beyer said Charter would meet; with representatives about the common areas, but not in con- junction with Off-Campus Hous- ing unless those interviews proved unsuccessful. "We prefer to solve the problems in our own office," he said. Beyer said that Charter has re- ceived no more complaints about Albert Terrace than about any other of the firm's buildings. 4 "We've had some people who have complained," he said yesterday, "but they have pretty much ac- cepted our solution (the $50 re- duction)" He said he thought tenants had probably signed the petition be- cause they were "just trying to get more money." "The insides of the apartments were pretty much finished when they moved in," Beyer said. Al Finamore, Grad, who lives in the building, said, "Charter knew that we would live in a half- done apartment building for twos months. Construction workers told us that most of the work would not be finished until October." Most apartments in the building are for five men, and cost about $350 a month. "They're going to have to sue us to get the rent," said Torn *' Charon, '69. HOWE NOW ! "I RVING HOWE ..

Westerdale referred to Michael enner, '69E, and Robert Will-, arth, 169, respectively chairman nid vice-chairman of. the College epublicans. Renner said that he was shock- I by the charges and added "I an't imagine that members of GC are attacking a student or-, anization for becoming involved' i campus affairs. It's true that 'm trying to encourage College ,epublicans to become interested i the constitutional convention, ut I can't see how this can be zterpreted as an underhanded btempt to overrun the Univer- ty." Westerdale also noted that enner and Willmarth have ap- eared at the last two SGC meet- gs to propose their plan for elegate selection which also alled for an immediate petition eriod. Their proposal was tabled the rst time and withdrawn the cond because of the creation the Select Committee on the onstitutional Convention. At one eeting, according to Westerdale, iey brought a stack of their roposed petitions with them. Willmarth pointed out that the etitions he brought to the SGC .eeting were clearly labeled "pro- osed" and could not have been sed in any petitioning campaign, Today is Ladies' Day 60c UNTIL 6 P.M. Dial 8-6416 *ENDING TONIGHT* Once again the screen explodes with rage, passion and greatness!I "Westerdale is seeing menacing shadows where there are none," he said. Westerdale also denied Renner's suggestion that SGC stalled on the decision of a convention for- mat and he charged that Renner "was trying to get his proposal passed before SGC even had a chance to think about the con- vention." He added that "The cabal has already succeeded in aiding ad- ministrators who, like Director of University Housing John Feld- kamp, now advise dormitory res- idents to hold off on defending their legitimate rights while SGC is being re-structered." Renner suggested that "this type of abusive statement made by an elected member of SGC is com- pletely contrary to the student government slogan, 'Let the stu- dents decide.' " Miss Greenberg said she was "heartened by the interest of the Republicans" but added "I would not like to see any group, however, use the convention for power plays. That is antithetic to the purpose of the convention, which was to bring together all sorts of political perspectives in a co- operative effort to establish a fair student government." UAC president Don Tucker, chairman of the Select Committee, said he was'going to "do all in my power to insure that the proposals of this committee are the most just and representative that can be made possible. I am not dis- counting any plan for selection of! delegates on the basis of the spon- soring organization or political in- terest group. No matter who says what, we're going to come out with what we feel is a fair pro- posal." THIS WEEK Thursday & Friday SUNRI$E dir. F. W.
