The resultant revised third act apparently more than satisfied' audiences, if one may judge by the fact that it received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1956 and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award. University students Tom Leith, '60, and Estelle Ginn, '60, will ap- pear in the Civic Theatre produca tion, which is directed by Ted Heusel. Leith will be seen as "Brick," while Miss Ginn will take the part of "Margaret." Curriculum To Challenge Able Students (Continued from Page 1) The juniors and seniors are completely separate groups; the juniors are preparing for their last year by taking special litera- ture courses. "They are chosen on the basis of average (a B overall and a B-plus in English is re- quired), interview and the strength of recommendations from teachers who have known their work," Prof. Greenhut said. Seniors are chosen from those who have successfully completed the junior program. Give Survey Courses "In the junior year, two sur- vey courses are given. These pre- sent a. survey of English litera- ture from the time of Chaucer to that of Blake," Prof. Greenhut said. In the fall semester. of th senior year, honors students elect a Seminar in Criticism devoted chiefly to critical writings of Pla- to, Aristotle, Coleridge, and T. S. Eliot. "In the spring there is another seminar course. It consists of a series of weekly lectures on sub- jects of general interest to the study of literature," Prof. Green- hut added. In the beginning of the senior year, each student gets assigned to a tutor of-his own choice. These tutors are members of the English department faculty who meet with him regularly to discuss matters related to the program and specifically, to the writing of the honors essay.E Honors Essay. This essay, criticalyin nature, and of a student's own choice, must be between 4,500 and 7,000 words. The papers grow out of reading done in the progran, Prof. Greenhut said. A student may use subjects like philosophy and lit- erature, and German and litera- ture. Each student submits his topic to his tutor around Christ- mas. The tutors help the student decide which one is "feasible and suitable." The essay must be completed in the first half of the spring term. The last half is spent, in prepara- tion for an examination given in May, and is based on the two years work in the program. This exam together with the essay de- cides who will receive honors and high honors at graduation. VALENTIES traditional and Contemporary OVERBECK BOOKSTORE 1216 S. University NO 3-4436 160 PROGRAMS A YEAR: Faculty Aids University TV By JOHN FISCHER With the help of University fac- ulty members, the University tele- vision office produces approxi- mately 160 programs a year. More than 600 faculty members have participated on our pro- grams, Prof. Garnet R. Garrison, z director of broadcasting, said. . Although all of the programs are on film, all the care of a live production is necessary. Closed- circuit television cameras are used and a special camera films a tele- vision screen. This is called the kinescope process. Elaborate Preparations Because of the nature of the productions, 'elaborate prepara- tions are made fop each program. Betty Palmer, a producer-writer, explained that some programs take months before they are re- leased to the public. In choosing a subject for a pro- duction, Miss Palmer said that the television office's producers have considerable liberty. There is no direct control on most produc- tions, but long series which would require considerable investment do require approval, she said. Ideas for programs come from many sources, Miss Palmer said. Often the producer will get an idea and call a faculty member, but sometimes the faculty mem- ber will call him. When personali- ties visit the University, quite oft- en the television office will bring them to the studio for a 15 to 30 minute interview.i Get Program Representation The television office endeavors through the years to get a pro- gram representing each depart- ment of the University, Miss Palmer said, and sometimes, when a producer notices that a particu- lar department of the University has not been represented recently, he will call the head of that de- partment concerning a program. For example, when Miss Palmer was told that there had not been a program on public health sta- tistics for a while, she contacted the chairman of that department, who referred her to Prof. Richard Remington of the public health statistics department. After getting the idea, confer- ences are held between the pro- ducer, director and the faculty "talent." Presents Outline First the producer presents the "talent" with a bare outline of the program; if this is approved, the "first draft" is written, she added. In the public health program, Prof. Remington and Miss Palmer decided that the program's theme would be on the misinterpretation of statistics. Prof. Remington then gave Miss Palmer example's of misinterpretations,rand with these, Miss Palmer wrote the script. "The first draft is a complete script," Miss Palmer said, "con- taining cues and ideas for charts, graphs, and when these special ef- fects should appear.", Now and then the first draft is used as the final script, she said. Usually from one to three re- visions are made, she commented. The producer then checks the script with the "talent" and it is checked for accuracy, smoothness and timing. After the final draft of the script, a production meeting is held with the director, staging and graphics (art) departments. Lighting, the physical set, and other technical problems are dis- cussed. Schedule Rehearsals Before the actual filming, a number of rehearsals are sched- uled. First there are preliminary dry runs which are rehearsals without any facilities and are oft- en not even done on the set. Here any problems such as tim- ing, clarity or transitions from one subject to another are ironed out, Miss Palmer said. Then comes the camera rehear- sal, which is mainly for the direc- tor's benefit, so that he can posi- tion his cameras and run through all other mecanical matters. Pretend Filming- Finally the dress rehearsal comes, which is run straight through just as if it were the ac- tual filming. During this period the producer checks pronuncia- tions and the stressing of words. After this the filming tokes place; everyone is busy. The di- rector never seems to stop talk- ing, the cameras seem to be con- stantly moving, and the engineers carefully checking everything. The film is then shipped to New -Daily-Allan Winder ON THE SET-Prof. Richard Remington of the public health statistics department rehearses with the host, Douglas Chapman, also of public health statistics, on the University television office's production of "Fools, Facts and Statistics" which will be seen soon.

State Conducts Public Hearing on New Road (continued from page 1) roads and road closures until pub- lic hearings can be held. In Ann Arbor, Pittsfield and York town- ships. No dates were announced for hearings. Strong opposition to the pro- posed location of the expressway was demonstrated, however, by many residents of the area as the meeting continued into the after- noon. Two members of the Milan Village Council and a group of Milan property owners raised ob Jections to the plan. ,The property owners said they would have only the use of a service road crossing a double track railroad if the pro- posed Eastbelt were constructed. An alternate proposal was pre- sented to the hearing, at which approximately 250 people, were present. The alternate proposal by resi- dents of the area was to use the present US-112Southbelt, con- necting with US-23 southeast of the city and another proposed northwest bypass connecting U- 12 with US-23 north of the city. .The chief argument for this pro- posal by its backers was that it would save six million dollars, since the construction of a North- west Bypass is planned for the future anyway, and it might as well be utilized. The present proposed Eastelt Expressway begins at the inter- section 'with US-12 Bypass, and would run parallel to existing US- 23 on the west to a point north of Washtenaw Road. It would then turn east, crossing the 'Huron River, and continue east of the North Campus and north to the Dhu Varren Road area, where it would continue west to US-23 north of Ann Arbor. In regard to the alternate pro- posed route; using the Southbelt road, the Highway Department re- ported that probable increases in the present 21,000 cars per day on the Southbelt road would rule out its use in carryin'g US-23 traffic around the city. Objections to the Eastbelt route originally came due to plans which had the road bisect North Campus, the golf course and pass through an expensive residential area. Strong homeowner resistance re- sulted, and the routing was re- located to its present position more to the north. Wilbur continued that the High- way Department does not believe the Federal Bureau of Public Roads would approve the alterna- tive Southbelt expressway because its regulations allow that "ap- proval of revisions of any section in an Interstate system will be given, only under most unusual circumstances and conditions which would clearly justify this approval."

Two krants are being awarded the University today by the Na- tional Science Foundation for the purpose of conducting research programs in Research Participa- tion for Teacher Training. 111 DIAL NO 2-2513 COMING Cecil B. DeMille's "THE BUCCANEER" r y:.;: F' The programs are to be carried out during the summer of'1959. Prof. M. L. Wiedenbeck of the physics department received a grant for a program of reactor physics for college teachers and Prof. Wilbert -J. McKeachie of the psychology department for a pro- gram in experimental psychology for college teachers. The two grants were part of a total award of 56 grants involving approximately $800,000-to 54 edu- cational institutions. The programs are geared to pro- vide research experience during the summer months for about 550 teachers of science and mathe- matics. About 400 of these will come from secondary schools and the remaining 150 will conie from junior colleges and small colleges without appropriate research fa- cilities. The teachers receiving instruc- tion in the program will be award- ed stipends up to $75 a week plus allowances for travel and depend- ents. nProf. McKeachie said the eight- week summer program is "based on the assumption that science teaching improves when the teacher has some contact with scientific research." oil light eat er EARTHA KH SAMMY DAYIS, J.r: His First Dramatic Screen Rota Win Jolt You Out Of Your Seat!
