I PAGE TWO THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1964 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. (Continued from Page 1) 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. Specialized It will be a four-year liberal arts college with an initial en- rollment of 1000 which will ulti- mately grow to 3000.

CENTREX - The increasing complexity of the University switchboard operations led to the installation of a direct dialing, or Centrex telephone system at the1 end of the summer. The Centrex1 system handles over 11,000 tele- phone numbers and eliminates the University operator in the process- ing of regular calls.

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. "k 1964 looked forward to: -A $3.5 million, nine-story ad-j dition to the General Library; -A $6 million children's hospi- tal built at the University Medi- cal Center with funds donated by Flint's Charles S.

New College 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 Standards for students and faculty.

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. A plan announced by Registrar . j. ENDING TONIGHT ws 7 & 9 P M DIAL 8-6416 Sho% JnuwS r u 7 r.rvt. . "BRILIANT I HILARIOUSI GAGS.
