To see the tormented Oedipus gouge out his eyes, to hear Cas- sandra's wailings, to snare the intensity of the bawdy eating scene in "Alcestis" is to gain an understanding of the nature of Greek tragedy. We can read and analyze and criticize the plays, but until we see the Greek classics performed our knowledge of the subject is incomplete. It is like studying Shakespeare without ever having seen a Shakespearean production. Students have the opportunity to see Shakespeare in the sum- mer festivals scattered throughout the United States and Canada..No such opportunity now exists in this country for the student of Greek plays. Restore Greek Tragedies Realizing the need to restore the Greek tragedies for American audiences, and thereby revive the Greek cultural heritage in Ameri- ca, a group in Ypsilanti are creat- ing a Greek theatre. Under the leadership of Mrs. J. Henry Owens, former ninth grade English teacher and wife of J. Henry Owens, head of the modern language department at Eastern Michigan University, a group, of Ypsilanti citizens incorporated the Ypsilanti Greek Theatre in 1963. The history of the YGT since then has been one of expansion and even national fame. Summer Festival How does oneerevive a dis- appearing heritage? YGT's an- swer is to inaugurate an annual summer festival of drama, music, dance and related cultural ac- tivities. The nonprofit corporation is building a $2 million amphi- theatre. This unique theatre, to be com- pleted by 1966, will be an enor- mous attraction for state residents and summer tourists. It will be the only fully enclosed, air- conditioned Greek amphitheatre in the world. Tentative plans by the architect, Harry Weese of Chicago, call for a main auditorium with 1800 seats arranged in the classic Greek theatre semi-circular pattern around an open stage, a smaller theatre seating about 250 people, a large foyer, suitable for use as an exhibitionk halland the full range of workshops, rehearsal space, storage and other facilities necessary to a professional reper- tory company.

(Continued on Page 8) The theatre, to be constructed in, Ypsilanti's Riverside Park over- looking the Huron River, will house the summer festival, a cen- ter for Greek studies and a theatre school. The summer festival is the first and most important goal of the YGT. Starting May 1966, the fes- tival will present several three- day series. Each series will include one Greek play, one modern play and a dance or folksong program. With four or five series each season, the festival will probably run from late May to early Sep- tember. Greek Director A professional repertory theatre, under a Greek director will pre- sent the plays. The quality of the festival will{ equal or excel Stratford, Ontario's Shakespearean festivals, Mrs. Owens believes.

The interviews will be taken by huge endeavor.j The theatre school is the sec- ondary goal of the YGT. Staffed by professionals, it will offer an apprentice program leading to participation in the Greek Thea- tre's dramatic productions, as well as a degree in Theatre Arts. The theatre school will probably be administered jointly by YGT and a university drama department. Culture Center The Center for Greek studies will have its own library and per- manent collection of Greek art, both ancient and modern.

SATURDAY, NOV. 14 EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the fourth of a series of articles oin the recipients of two University faculty awards, the Distinguished Faculty Achievement Award and the Dis- tinguished Service Award. By CAROL EIFRIG Prof. Reed Miller Nesbit of the medical school, one of the men who usually nominates candidates for the Distinguished Faculty Achievement Award, was himself surprised with the award this year. "Yes, the Distinguished Faculty Achievement Award was complete- ly unexpected, and I consider this to be one of the greatest honors that I could receive," he said. A doctor and professor who de- votes himself to both classroom and general surgery duties, Nesbit has been a member of the medical faculty since 1925, the year which also marks the opening of the present University Hospital. Great Growth "You might say that I've wit- nessed the growth period of our modern medical school," he said. As the head of thR urlo dL - - omer cuaurai accivales. u PROF.
