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 Sat., Dec. 7 -with Laurel and Hardy 9:00 P.M.

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

Tickets are still available from the petroit Institute Ticket Of- fice, 5200 Woodward, Detroit. Phone /reservations (1-832- 2730) will be held for 48 hours 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 CONFLICT OVER AUTONOMY: Ed. board, 'U' consider plans the mind and body at any mo- ment.

Artaud re models; there exts of the play (Cont)nued from Page 1) "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." - Xon may give position to Romney iContinued from Page 1J 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.
