"A UNIVERSAL EXPERIENCE
APPROPRIATE TO THE
SCREENS OF THE WORLD
'Pather PIanchali' is a picture of India of
a sort we have not yet had-ndt even in Jean
Renoir's 'The River' nor in Robert Flaherty's
'Elephant Boy.' This is a communication of
human experience out of the heartand
fiber of Bengal. It is the creation of
an artist."
-Bosley Crowfher, K. Y. Times
By JUDITH DONER
"Trap Doors," subtitled "A
Tra-
vesty for Slow as Well as Fast
Feet" will be presented at 4:10
p.m. tomorrow in the Arena
Theatre of the Frieze Building.
Written by Alfred Kreymborg,
a modern American poet, the show
is a colorful fantasy. . . a poetic
adventure in fun. It takes place in
an imaginary village street, early
on any spring morning . . almost
anywhere.

nusual.

on, '61, Tom Jennings, '62, Bar-
ara Cohen, '62, and Terry Rode-

Culture is the topic of two Un-
versity television programs to be
shown today.
At 1 pm.. on WWJ-TV, Ch. 4,1
two Europeans will examine Eu-
rope's common culture, and "Ac-
cent" at 9:45 a.m. will feature four
citizens of Muslim nations who
will explore the culture of the 24
states of "The Muslim World,"
Featured on "Accent" will be a
radio broadcaster fromthe United
Arab Republic, a lieutenant in
the Turkish Navy, a former mem-
ber of Pakistan's Atomic Energy
Commission and a graduate stu-
dent in linguistics from Indonesia.
Reveal Conditions
They will tell of present condi-
tions and hopes for the future
held by the over 400 million Mus-
lims living in an area three times
as large as the United States.
This program is one of two
which presents an explanation of
the basic beliefs of Islam, the "oft-
niisunderstood" religion which
forms a cultural bond among the
diverse peoples of the Muslim
world.
, The Islamic religion was first
abused during the crusades. Before
that time the Near East was
viewed by Europeans with wonder,
but after the wars began the bad
points of the culture, and not the
good, were emphasized.
It is this latter view that is
associated with Islamic culture in
the minds of most of the public.
The two Europeans, an Italian
and a Frenchman, will tell, how
their countries are part of the
common European culture of the
post-war years.
Glauco Cambon of the English
department and originally from
Milan, Italy and Michel Benamou
of the French department from
Paris, France, both visiting lec-
turers, will join their host, Prof.
Roy Pierce of the political science
department.
Presents IdeasM .
Benamou declares that in the
post-war years the most signifi-
cant contribution made in France
is the existentialist literature
which, combined with a focus on
man living ina world of serious
moral choices, has struck a respon-
sive chord in the entire Western.>
world.
Italy's most significant contri-
bution, Cambon believes, is the
concentration on the problems of
the average man, as opposed to
the intellectual, and also concen-
trating on the search for a solu-
tion to his problems.
WXYZ-TV will also present an-
other University program. At 9
a.m. three, current research pro- RDLHS KT

Memorial Project demonstrates
