By MAJORIE BRAHMS
Director Robert Maitland and
designer Charles Hoefler, both
University graduates who, became
interested in the theatre while
students, have returned to Ann
Arbor to head the production
staff of the 27th annual Ann
Arbor Drama Season.
Last summer Maitland and
Hoefler collaborated on designing
and staging an off-Broadway re-
vue "The Prickley Pair," with
Marian Mercer and R. G. Brown,
also University almuni who will
be returning to work in the Drama
Season.
Hoelfer, discussing a view held
by Drama Season producer Ted
Heusel, said Ann Arbor audiences
should be made aware of former
Univei'sity students who went to
Broadway and became successful.
This year, along with Maitland
and Hoefler, six University alumni
will be returning: Marian Mercer,
R. G. Brown, Howard Green,
Beverly Owen, James E. Broad-
head and Robert Armstrong.
Studied Painting
Maitland,'55A&D, studied paint-
ing and sculpture while a student.
Deciding to try his hand at de-
signing play sets, he worked in
the Ann Arbor Civic Theatre with
Heusel, who was directing at that
time.

"The more I designed the more
I realized I wanted to direct,"
Maitland commented. In New York
he gradually shifted to directing.
His work included productions
ranging from studio presentations
of Williams Butler Yeats' poetic
plays to productions of the musical
comedies "Fanny" and "Okla-
homa."
"I have produced also but I
have no real interest in it because
of the financial problems," Mait-
land noted. As a producer he pre-
sented Franchot Tone in a staged
reading of Luigi Pirandello's
"Naked."
Hoefler spent five years after
his graduation at Tobins Lake
Studios as assistant to Robert E.
Mellencamp, designer of industrial
and legitimate stage productions
and for many years designer of the
Drama Season.
Opened Own Studio
After a European trip, Hoefler
went to New York and opened his
own studio, where he does indus-
trial and off-Broadway designing
and plans to do Broadway work.
At present he is designing a
touring show of "The Music Man"
and, as his biggest project, is re-
designing "Little Mary Sunshine"
for. presentation by the Drama
Season this year. In the planning
stages is arproject for the 1964
World's Fair.
An important issue to Hoefier is
the supposed conflict between the
Professional Theatre Program to
begin next fall and the Drama
Season.
"I do not feel the PTP will
effect the Drama Season-if any-
thing it will help it. There is no
such a thing as competition in
the theatre. The more there is,
the more demand there will be."
Hoefler believes the "decentral-
ization of the theatre away from
Broadway is a healthy thing for
the art."
Drama Season 'Unique'
Both Maitland and Hoefler
commented on the "unique" na-
ture of the Drama Season. Mait-
land said he would like to return
to Ann Arbor in the future and
next year would like to use more
students and local talent.
"This is a good opportunity for
students. They;can get more val-
uable experience through work-
ing on professional productions
than in the classrooms or on
University productions.
"In New York, Ann Arbor is
looked upon as a magnificent
experience and as prestige the-
atre," Hoelfer sAid. Such stars as
Helen Hayes and Katherine Cor-
nell will work here for considerably
less Mnoney just for the opportun-
ity to perform in Ann Arbor.
New Opportunities
Hoefler noted that performers
can do work in Ann Arbor that
they could not do elsewhere. Helen
Hayes, for example, did "Gentle-
men, the Queen," a production
consisting of scenes with charac-
terization of Katherine the Great,
Lady MacBeth, Mary, Queen of
Scots and-Queen Victoria.
The Drama Season is the ear-
liest stock theatre company in the
country, Maitland said. This is an
advantage because actors can play
Ann Arbor and then go to other
jobs. "We close when fifty per
cent of the other summer theatres
open," he noted.
The Michigan Stage Band and
the Bob James Trio, recent win-
ners of the Notre Dame College
Jazz Festival for the second year,
will present a jazz concert at 8:00
p.m. today in the Michigan Union
Ballroom.
Kappa Kappa Psi, band honor-
ary, is sponsoring the concert to
raise money to commission an
original composition for the Mich-
igan Symphonic Band.
The Stage Band, recently formed
from musicians in Music School,
will play modern jazz and will be
accompanied by vocalist Cora Ri-
dall, '65M.
Concert...
The University Symphony Or-
chestra and the University Choir
will present a concert at 8:30 p.m.
tomorrow in Hill Aud.

Such legislation has also been
endorsed by the Ann Arbor Society
of Friends, the Huron Valley
Chapter of the National Federa-
tion of Social Workers and the lo-

Eighty thousand questionnaires
seeking student opinion of courses
and teaching will be circulated
during lectures, recitations and
laboratories in the literary college
next week.
The four questions asked in the
questionnaire include:
What do you think are the ob-
jectives of this courserAre they
made clear?
How do you evaluate the means
used to realize the objectives?
Students are asked to consider
such things as integration of lec-
tures, text, laboratory work, reci-
tation, quality of required read-
ings, effectiveness and fairness of
examinations and level of diffi-
culty.
Question Course Value
What is your judgment as to
the value of this course in your
education? Students should point
out both its contributions and
deficiencies. Comments upon is
contribution to knowledge, its
broadening and deepening of in-
terest in this area its effect upon
perspective or sense of values and
its contribution to clarity of
thought are requested.
Keeping in mind that the re-
turns from the questionnaire will
be used by the instructor in the
process of improving his teaching,
students are asked to mention any
other aspects of the course or its
instructor not covered in previous
questions, considered especially
good or poor, and offer any sug-
gestions for the improvement of
the course.
To Evaluate Instructors
Consideration should be given
to the instructor's regularity and
adequacy of meeting class obliga-
tions, evenness of assignments
return of papers and clarity and
thoroughness of preparation of
SGC Names
NSA Group
At Student Government Coun-
cil's meetinggWednesday, SGC ap-
pointed delegates to this weekend's
Regional Assembly of the United
States National Student Associa-
tion.
Council members, Katherine
Ford, '64, Assembly Association
President, Mary Beth Norton, '64,
Women's League President, Mar-
geret Skiles, '63, and Robert Ross,
'63; Committee on NSA Chairman,
John M. Roberts, '64; and Frank
Heselton, '63, member of the NSA
Committee were appointed.
According to previous Council
policy SGC could onlysend mem-
bers and standing committee
chairmen to be delegates to NSA
national and regional congresses.
Council adopted a new policy
motion which states: "When SGC
members or standing committee
chairmen do not fill the number
of delegate and alternate positions
available to SGC, other members
of the SGC structure will be eli-
gible for attendance at regional as-
semblies and NSA Congresses."
However, Richard Nohl, '62BAd.
announced his intention to recon-
sider the Ross amendment next
week, which suspends action on
the amendment until the next
Council meeting.
subject matter. His ability to
arouse interest and stimulate
thinking, open-mindedness and
encouragement of differences of
opinion, general approachability
and willingness to assist students
are also factors to be taken into
account.
The questionnaire prepared by
a committee headed by Prof. Wil-
liam B. Palmer of the economics
department, differs from the pre-
vious questionnaire circulated in
the fall of 1960. Because of stu-
dent complaints that the ques-
tions were too broad, each question
has been amplified by suggesting
the nature of responses. Many of
the phrases used reflect previous
student responses to the questions,
according to Prof. Palmer.
Results Kept Private
The questionnaires, circulated
every third semester, are used on
a departmental level only. A ma-
jority of departments have voted
to make the results of the ques-
tionnaire available only to the
instructor involved. In many de-
partments, student opinion of
teaching fellows, however, be-
comes available to others in the
department.
Students do not sign their names,
nor are the questionnaires avail-
able to instructors until after
grades have been reported.

'Indictment'
Of Lawyers
ADRIAN - Recent increases in
medical malpractice insurance
rates in Michigan were seriously
questioned by Prof. Marcus L.
Plant of the law school.
He addressed a joint meeting of
the Lenawee County Bar Associa-
tion and Medical Society here
Tuesday.
Prof. Plant called the National
Bureau of Casualty Underwriter's
30 per cent increase for 1962 "a
vague and ominous indictment of
either the courts, the legal profes-
sion, the medical profession or all
three."
"As one who is familiar with the
judicial process, interested in med-
ical malpractice litigation, who
seeks all the information he can
find about it, this increase in rate
is astounding.
"I cannot help but put the ques-
tion whether the medical profes-
sion, and through it the general
public, is not being victimized and
gouged by certain segments of the
professional liability insurance in-
dustry," he said.
"If I were a leader of the medi-
cal profession in Michigan, I would
give very serious consideration to
asking the Insurance Commission-
er to make an investigation of this
increase," he added.
