"NO LOVE FOR JOHNNIE"

AND A SHORT:
"MEN 0 WAR"

By RANDY JACOBS
When the Living Theatre first
returned to the United States in
November, they performed at
Yale University.-One afternoon
the directors, Julian Beck and
his wife Judith Malina met with
students and teachers of the
Yale Drama School. The ex-
change is reported py Stephen
Schneck in the November 30
Ramparts.
Robert Brustein, dean of the
school and a friend of the
Becks, and about half of the
students had begun with an old
idea of theater. Blrustein said,
"I'm afraid that r. artifice;will
always be a problem for (the
Living Theater). As long as
theater remains an imitation,
and it will always be an imi-
tation .
In his article Schneck re-
sponds, citing Antonin Artaud,
who wrote in 1924: "Why lie,
why try to place on a literary
level a thing which is the very
cry of life?"
And Julian Beck later said,
"We are trying to make theater

into life, and life into theater."
Beck;explained that the com-
pany had been in Paris during
the revolution of May. When
actors had gathered to discuss
ways of supporting the students,
their first idea was to do plays
in the streets. Immediately Ju-
dith Malina had said, "To do a
play alongside the barricades is
to degrade the barricades!
"The actuality there in the
streets far surpassed any false
theater . . . for us to present an
artificial play there was pure
ancien regime. It was over. You
couldn't do that."
Beck talked about the occu-
pation of the Odeon (Theatre

stances the Living Theater's
performance of "Antigone" on
Monday, Dec. 9th has been can-

"Antigone" will be perform-
ed at the Detroit Institute of
Arts on Friday, Dec. 13. Other
Detroit Institute performances
iare "Mysteries and Smaller
Pieces" (Thurs., Dec. 12) and
"Frankenstein" (Sat. Dec. 14).'

de France) by students and ar-
tists. "When the decision to take
over the Odeon was reached, it
was decided to turn it not into
a place where plays were done
or films shown, but to make it
into a place of live theater,
where everybody became an
actor. And what happened was
a 24-hour confrontation . . . a
debate ... a marathon perform-
ance. Anybody could enter off
the street and speak and receive
a response. There was great
ferment. . . . What °I saw at the
Odeon was the greatest theater
I've ever seen."
A month later the Living
Theater began its enactment ofY
Paradise Now, They described it
as a "collective creation."
It was clear that the theater
of the streets and factories had
gone underground for a while.
The actors of'the Living The-
ater wanted to make of them-
selves something "different,"
and equally necessary: a cata-
lyst for "the beautiful nonvi-
lent anarchist revolution" that
can begin, or be furthered in

"not cogent" with the remainder
of the document. The arguments
presented, it maintains, are "rath-
er one sided."
"The prevelence of multi-cam-
pus arrangements in most of the
states is not mentioned. Nor is it'
recognized that many baccalaure-
ate state institutions in Michigan
have operations apart from their
main location, but which are not
considered 'branched' in the pejo-
rative sense implied by the State
Plan," the statement says.
However, Ross praised two sec-'
tions of the plans:
-a suggestion that the board
seek legislative action to provide'
sufficient funds for student loans.
-an assertion that out-of-state
studetts "strengthen the total
character of the student body an'd
give breadth to the campus cul-
ture by their individual contribu-
tions to the intellectual life of
the institution.'
,In order for the Legislature to,
make valid comparisons between
the various universities, the plan
recommends uniform accounting{
procedures and need definitions.-
"This suggestion only makes
sense," Ross says. "Its easier for
the Legislature if we are all talk-
ing theI same language."I
Generally, the report attempts
to relate the occupational needs

of the state for trained people
with vocational and professional
skills.
"America's rapidly -advancing
technological and scientific surge
focused attention on the need for
people with occupational abilities
and skill . . . . The colleges and
universities have a major respon-
sibility for educating students in
regard to societal needs as well
as preparing enrollees with occu-
pational abilities and skills."
To meet this end, the plan calls
for the establishment of indepen-
dent community colleges in all
areas of the state.
The plan also recommends the
solicitation of private industry and

interested departments of state
to join, with the universities in
increased reseoch programs.
"Those institutions that have
gained the greatest acclaim for
their contributions to society are
those that recognize research as
an important component of the
total educational program," it
says.I
Prior to 1963.dthe Board of Ed-
ucation was limited to primary
and secondary education, each in-
stitution of higher learning dealt
dircetly with the Legislature. The
state superintendent of public in-
struction served, in a limited way,
as the state agent for coordinating
higher education.I

that preceded\ Brecht's adap-
tation. And as translator, di-
rector, and actress, Judith Ma-
lina even adds a wry humor.
-Frankenstein, created over
a period of three years begin-
ning in 1965: a spectacle.
Artaud writes, "We shall not
act a written play, but we shall
make attempts at direct stag-
ing, around themes, facts, or
known works. he very nature
and disposition of the room
suggest this treatment, and
there is no theme, however vast,
that can be denied us," In The
Theatre and Its Double, he dis-
cusses:'
--"The Language of the Stage:
It is not a question of suppres-
sing the 'spoken language, but of.
giving words approximately the
importance they have in
dreams."
"Spectacle: There is an idea
of integral spectacles which
must be regenerated. The prob-
lem is to make space speak, to

feed and furnish it, like mines
laid in a wall of rock which all
of a sudden turns into geysers
and bouquets of stone."
Artaud's conception can be
grasped only through reading
his book. The aims of the Frank-
enstein spectacle coincide with
it in some respects, diverge
from it in others. A few seg-
ments of Frankenstein are faulty
in any terms. But it's certain
that this creation of the Living Y
Theater has made Artaud's
theater less impossible.
Towards the end of a long,
well-thought article Ross Wetzs-
teon writes: "Frankenstein is
one of those rare works df art
able to forego or at least dis-
place intellectual content with
out moving into the realm of
mindless supplictation . . . Like
The Brig, Frankenstein's elo-
quence lies not in what is rep-
resents but in what it is. In
short, the Becks have trans-
cended the theater of fictions."

mor, and power of Washington."
However, the transportation posi-
tion is a come-down from what he
had in mind last winter when he
campaigned against Nixon in the
New Hampshire primary.
Nixon appearedtat the gover-
nors conference late last n i g h t
and gave what was termed a min-
or policy speech to the governors.
He said "we're going to see to it"
that Americans now fighting in
Vietnam can come home to a na-
tion which can be united with
progress and opportunity for all
people.
Nixon said the U.S. has t h e
wealth to be the best fed, best
housed nation the world has ever
known and to share its prosper- ,
ity "more equally than any peo-
ple have ever shared."
He said the crisis now is view-
ed byobservers of America to be
a crisis 'of spirit. But Nixon said
that problem too can be over-
-come.
Another Republican governor
who is expected to b° appointed
to a cabinet post is Massachusett's
John Volpe. He was originally be-
ing considered for transportation,
which Romney apparently will get.
A Nixon aide last night dehied
that talks between' the President-
elect and New oYrk Gov. Nelson
Rockefeller indicated any change
in the attitude of the governor.
Rockefeller turned down a Cab-
inet offer a few weeks ago, al-
though he was considered a
strong prospect for state orde-
fense.
