By DAVE KNOKE
John Vaizey, visiting professor
of economics at the University of
California who is characterized as
"Angry Young Man of Worches-
ter" for his outspoken views on
education, will be the keynote
speaker in a series oftorientation
lectures designed to acquaint stu-
dents with asprogram of inter-
disciplinary study in G r e a t
Britain.
Vaizey wil speak on "Social
Class and University Opportunity"

in education, speech and political
science under thegdirection of
Professors Claude Eggersten and
Irvin Anderson of the School of
Education, Herbert Hildebrandt of
the speech dept. and Lionel Laing

program will give the students an
opportunity to observe British in-
stitutions in action and become
acquainted with contemporary
leaders in British education and
public life.
According to Eggersten, Vaizey,
a fellow at Worcester College,
Ozford, and friend of Prime Min

addresses to "dramatically call

and FRITZ MILLER
The American Conservatory
Theatre (ACT) made its Ann Ar-
bQr, debut last ,night in Edward'
Albee's "Tiny Alice," without doubt
the most provocative piece of
drama to be presented at this
University; indeed one of the most
contrqversial and dynamic offer-
ings to the contemporary Aineri-
can stage.
Albee's play presents no easy
answers and raises many ques-
tions, works not on one theme
but on an accumulation of many.
He explores, centrally, the neces-
sity of the destruction of mhan-
created illusions; the continuous
and agonizing probing for the na-
ture of reality, as tenuous and in-
determinate as it may be.
ORGANIZATION
NOTICES
For Albee, the stage becomes a
battleground for this struggle; the
Ictors sparring, feinting and some-
times hitting with their constant
barrage of verbal thrusts. In his
skillful and -rapid juxtaposition of
vounding insights and-healing wit,
Albee condenses the experience of
contemporary existence and inten-
sifies one's perceptions of it.
More specifically, Albee focuses
his^ search, for truth; in "Tiny
lklice" on'the nature and existence
of a creator, which seems con-
tingent upon man's existence.
"God created man in his own im-
age and man, being a gentleman,
returned the compliment."
Albee seems to be saying that
there is no God other than a crea-
tive abstraction, Alice (not Miss
Alice), the "Earth-mother," who
is given tangible instantiation by
Iman, an arbitrary nature which
much fall within the limits of his
understanding.
The ultimate reality' to Albee is
that instead of God there is this
abstraction and man cannot serve
an abstraction. It is man's in-
ability to accept a world, or even
to conceive of a world, based on
The play is, as explained, a
complex allegory, full of symbols;
even the characters are symbols,
and consequently their develop-
ment as people is shallow and
subsurvient to their development
as symbols of people, and ideas.
Miss Alice (DeAnn Mears) is
really three people, capable of the
spontaneous mood changes Albee
encorporates into his "dramatic
battle," and Miss Mears handled
these dramatic reversals with the
ease and aplomb of putting on her
mask; Julian (Paul Shenar) was
given a deeply moving interpre-
tation, a sustained characteriza-
tion of the innocent martyr.
The only quibble with presen-
tation is directed toward the
Cardinal (Harry Frazier), whose
performance appeared unoriginal
and overdone.
We dcannot urge you strongly
enough to see this play. It is a
memorable theatrical experience
