ARTS and LETTERS By Adria Schwartz
To Present StudentPlaybill

Experimentation,

The lights will dim on the Arena
Theatre at 4:10 this afternoon and
the shuffling and the muffled
whispers will cease as the Student
Laboratory Theatre presents "In-
troducing Eve" by Susan Vierow,
'64, and "The Name of the Same
is Ben," by Dennis McIntyre, '65.
Soviets Cut
Ar'ms Budget
(Continued from Page 1)
the West are points often attack-
ed by Peking. Kosygin did not re-
fer to the bitter dispute between
the Soviet Union and Red China.
Kosygin said the defense budget
for 1965 would be cut by 500 mil-
lion rubles ($555 million at the
official,:rate). This is 3.76 per cent
less than the 'announced figure of
13.3 billion rubles ($14.8 billion)
for 1964. In Washington, the
Pentagon estimated spending of
$49.5 billion for the fiscal year
ending next July 1.
Understatement
Western analysts consider the
announced figures to show less
than half the true Soviet spending
on defense, much of which is bur-
ied in such budget-items as social
welfare and industrial production.
Kosygin said "representatives of
the United States government
have made appropriate statements
to us" from which: it follows that
Washington intends to cut mil-
itary spending for the next fiscal
year.
Defense -Minister Rodion M1Val-
inovsky, unmentioned publicly
since Nov. 27 and reported on
leave amid speculation that he
might be replaced, was absent.
Another' minister mentioned in
speculation a b o u t government
changes, Culture Minister Ekate-
rina Furtseva, was. on the plat-
form. So was Mikhail Suslov, a
top Communist Party leader re-
cently missing and reported sick.
Stronger UN
Kosygin called for strengthen-
ing the United Nations. He said it
is faced with financial difficulties
"through the fault of Western
powers."
Kosygin's 93 - minute s p e e c h
gave a picture of an economy that
has failed to make as fast pro-
gress as the Communist leaders
sought.
He promised more economic
liberalism -and less rigid central-
ized planning, greater material in-
centives for good work and more
things like refrigerators and tele-
vision sets for the masses.

Sixth in a series of student
productions, this final bill is pro-
duced by the speech department
in conjunction with the play-
writing class taught by Prof. Ken-
neth Rowe of the English depart-
ment. Directed, cast and entirely
produced by students (from design
and construction of sets to Ios-
tumes and lighting, today's bill is
composed of two plays written by
members of Rowe's class.
The lab theatre provides one
of the few opportunities for stu-
dents to produce completely orig-
inal and less well known produc-
tions, in addition to establisned
plays, with the added challenge
provided by theatre-in-the-round.
Student Writing
The last lab bill of each semes-
ter provides the only opportunity
for students in the playwriting
class to see their works performed
and appreciated by a live audi-
ence.
The productions become espe-
cially interesting because of the
lack of a regular prosthemum
stage. The Arena Theatre-a
theatre-in-the-round-adds tre-
mendous complexity to the set
construction, direction and light-
ing. The audience gains benefits,
however, from the reality of the
three - dimensional peiformance,
and their proximity to the actors
and the drama itself.
Adam and Eve
The first play on the bill, "In-
troducing Eve, or, The Seduction
of Adam," is a quasi-comedy
which takes place in the Garden
of Eden before the creation of
Eve. God decides that he should
make a companion worthy of
Adam, who is very pleased with
the idea until he realizes tfiat
woman is to be born of his ovxn,
rib.
Satan then appears and en-
deavors to convince Adam that
women may be a good thing. Fin-
ally the devil succeeds; Adam re-
lents, saying: "Give me woman,
she needs me."
The final irony, according to
Thomas Manning, director of the
lab bill, is "that Satan is working
for God's plan which, by coin-
cidence, fits into his."
"The Name of the Same is
Ben," the second play, takes the
audience to a party thrown by a
group of college students. The pro-
tagonist, Ben Cook, described by,
Manning as a "boorish sort of
character," enters as an uninvited
guest.
Gradually he becomes accepted
as the object of their game of
ridicule, which progresses until
the climactic discovery by the
group of the humanness of even
the lowest of boors.

institution. In doing so, they en-
dorsed a plan formulated by a
six-man committee of Flint and
University officials and approved
by the Flint Board of Education.
The Regents asked that the plan
be implemented as soon as possi-
ble and set 1965 as a target date.
Flint will admit its first fresh-
man class next fall.
The Regents specified, in ac-
cordance with the plan, that the
college will be an autonomously-
run branch of the University -
under Regental control but man-
aged by an administrator in
Flint.

It will be a four-year liberal
arts college with an initial en-
rollment of 1000 which will ulti-
mately grow to 3000. Its curricu-
lum will place emphasis on such

Help!
Perhaps the only concrete indi-
cation of new pressures brought
with the trimester was the recent
appeal to Heyns made by five stu-
dent leaders. The students asked
that an extended reading period
prior to the final examination per-
iod be included in future academic
calendars.
A point of dispute about the tri-
mester was the scaling of faculty
wages. The faculty, seeking to re-
tain their nine-months' salary for
the compressed eight-month aca-
demic year, asked that professors
working either half of the com-
ing spring-summer term be paid
the same amount they would be
given for working half a fall or!
winter term.
The issue has yet to be resolved
with the administration, which
recommends that faculty working
half the summer term be paid
about 88 per cent of the amount
given for half a fall or winter
term.

Following March approval.by
the faculty of the literary college
and the Regents, the University
continued groundwork on the pro-
posed residential college, a small
(1000-2000 students), liberal arts
college within the literary college
to be built on North Campus by
1967.
Providingboth living and class-
room facilities for its volunteer
student body, the college is aim-
ed at creating an intellectual spirit
nany feel is lacking at the Uni-
versity in its present structure.
The Regents chose Associate
Dean Burton Thuma of the liter-
ary college to plan and direct the
new unit. He has worked toward
this end with a small faculty com-
mittee which will eventually form
the nucleus of the college.
A committee of student advisors
has met with Thuma throughout
the fall semester, conferring on
such issues as housing and living
conditions, curriculum, student or-
ganizations, classroom facilities,
size of the student and faculty
bodies, libraries and selection

er had set the trimester as a high
priority item on the University
budget request.
The trimester, which brings the
University into year-round oper-
ations, was designed as an an-
swer to the pressures created by'
the post-war "baby boom" on
higher education. It allows a stu-
dent to attend classes year-round
and graduate in three years, if he
wishes, or to attend any combi-
nation of the three terms, annual-
ly. It will ultimately allow the Uni-
versity to accommodate a propor-
tionately larger number of stu-.
dents each year.
The Schedule
The terms are calendared from
August-December January-April
and (in two halves) May-August.
A survey of literary college stu-]
dents taken this fall indicated that
more than 25 per cent of all lit-
erary college students plan to at-
tend one or both half-sessions of
the newly instituted third term.
The transition to trimester was
accomplished with seeming ease.
