new version of Robinson
"Medea" which won her
idway critics' citation for
s most distinguished per-1

both for guest appearances and
to participate in a lecture series.
Miss Anderson was hailed by
New York Times reviewer Brooks;
Atkinson for "breathing immortal
fire into, Medea in a shattering
performance." She also appeared
in this role when she starred at
the Paris and Berlin Internatj0Y611
Theatre festivals under the man-
agement of Prof. Schnitzer, who
administered the State Depart-
ment's cultural exchange program
for seven years.
Distinguished Lecturer
The Distinguished Lecturer Ser-
ies will be opened with a talk by
Lee Strasberg, founder and direc-
tor of the Actor's Studio. The Ac-
tor's Studio is "the subject of
much controversy in the profes-
sion," Prof. Schnitzer said.
"However, it is still a most im-
portant influence on the actors
and directors in America today."
The studio is for professional,
established .performers, who come
only by invitation to delve more
deeply into the Method school of
acting.
Other lecturers for the series

producers and playwrights by Prof.
Schnitzer. They will deliver a ser-
ies discussing contemporary thea-
tre problems,.
"We would like also to do a
'playwright in residence' produc-
tion each year;" Prof. Schnitzer
said. "It would be an original
script from either an established
author or a first offering from
someone new. It would be most
meaningful with the author here
to see the play progress from
page to stage," he said.

Graduates
Receive Aid
From Grant
By DONNA ROBINSON
The National Defense Graduate
Fellowship Program has enabled
2,500 graduate students to pre-
pare themselves for college teach-
ing, according to the program's
two-year report.
The Graduate Fellowship Pro-
gram is authorized under Title IV
of the National Defense Education
Act, with the aim of encouraging
post-graduate study for college
teaching, emphasizing an increase
of doctoral students.
This program is the only fed-
eral program, and the only pro-
gram of any sort except for the
Woodrow Wilson National Fel-
lowship Foundation, which spe-
cifically aims at alleviating the
shortage of college teachers.
Its $9 million in grants have
supported the development of
many new graduate programs and
the expansion of existing ones in
areas of the country where they
are most needed.
The program is designed to aid
relatively underdeveloped areas of
study as well as established ones.
For example, eight fellowships and,
approximately $60,000 in grants
was given to Alfred University to
support its program in ceramics.
These grants have enabled uni-
versities with weak graduate pro-
grams to substantially increase
their capabilities. The University
of Idaho, for example, has initiat-
ed a doctorate program for 44 stu-
dents through aid offered by the
fellowship program.

Safecracking, says Bobble
Whaley, "is a real challenge.'
And he should know. He com-
mitted 43 burglaries while on
the force. In this week's Post,
this "burglar with a badge"
tells why he turned to crime.
How he phonied up police re-
ports.to cover his tracks. Used
official cars for his getaways.
And why he feels his superiors
