'EMOTIONA LIST:'
Meacham Discusses Career
0---
By MARJORIE BRAHMS
Anne Meacham, an actress
typed by Broadway theatre-goers I
as "a high-powered emotionalist,"
has been playing ingenue roles
since she joined the Association
of Producing Artists.
Arriving breatheless from the
doctor, who told her that her
voice was so low that she should:
play ."either Camille 'or Sadie
Thompson," Miss Meacham dis-
cussed the highlights of her the-.
atre career.
In David Ross' off-Broadway
production of Henrik Ibsen's!
"Hedda Gabler," in which she:
played the title role, Miss Mea-x
cham had two days to prepare
for the strenuous role. She was
called at 2 a.m. Sunday, after she
herself had returned from the
performance, by- the producer
whose leading lady, Mai Zetterling,,
had just collapsed. ANNE MEACHAM
Decides to Gamble . . . to play ingenue
"We, decided to gamble," Miss
Meacham said, - and she received mission on the night of the per-
the script at 2:30 a.m. For the formance, while the audience

of self-consciousness or ove-ex-
tended analysis so I just relaxed
and tried to do what was there,"
she recalled.
Sense of Humor
Miss Meacham also played
Cathy, the role created by Eliza-
beth Taylor on the screen, in
Tennessee Williams' "Suddenly
Last Summer" in an off-Broadway
production of the play.
Commenting on the controver-
sial playwright, she termed him
a "brilliant man with an exqui-
site, almost diabolical, sense of
humor" which is not nasty but
"just always to the point and
fantasticly ironic."
Discussing the future of APA
and repertory groups like it scat-
tered over the country, Miss Mea-
cham said she agrees with all
the things said before about it-
that it was "the hope of the
theatre"-but also cited certain
dangers she sees.
'Insulated, Commonplace'
"It is a danger that groups of
this type will become insulated
and commonplace and will take
fewer chances in choosing plays
and productions.
"The residence company must
be sure it finds standards that are
the best for itself, rather than for
Broadway, and must let nothing
dissipate the emphasis it should
show for vitality in the produc-
tion," she said.
Not Just Replacements
A difficulty she sees with the
APA is that although the company
as a whole has done most of the
plays it is presenting before, the
new actors -with the group, such
as Miss Meacham herself, are
"not just replacements but will
make the same play a whole new
production."
Before she joined the company,
Miss Meacham saw "The Schoo
for Scandal" played in New York
and noticed that "al the charac-
ters were acting as the director
believed they should.
"No individual was lost and
there was no pettiness oi stage
and no silly little egos.
False Labels
While she admires APA artistic
director Ellis Rabb greatly, Miss
Meacham believes "you can never
tell where you'll find a good direc-
tor. The trouble with some Broad-
way directors is that their labels
don't tell you what the real pro-
duct is and it doesn't make a
director good just because he's
been on Broadway or to the Actor's
Studio."
She cited as two of her best
directors a teacher she worked
under while at New Trier High
School-in Winnetka, Ill., and Rob-
ert Leaker, a director she worked
under in Flint.
Miss Meachamn will be Jii the
APA's final production, John
Whiting's "A Penny for a Song,"
starting next Wednesday, . which
she describes as "to me, a char-
ade, which is funny and can be
touching. t can make you think
for a second but won't let you
think too long."

U Installs
Laboratory
For Dorm
In a novel experiment, the Uni-
versity is installing a language
laboratory in East Quadrangle this
week to help students living there
with their foreign language home-
work.
This is the first time such a set-
up has been established in a resi-
dence hall in any university.
The lab will contain 10 booths
which will have full access to all
language programs playing in the
central language lab in Mason
Hall.
Its operation is dependent on
a device called the "dial selector,"
through which a student using the
main lab puts on earphones and
selects his lesson by simply dialing
a number in his booth.
By using the same means, a stu-
dent in East Quad gets his pro-
gram from the central lab in much
the same manner as placing a
long-distance call
Each of the 10 booths will be
operational by December. Until
then the lab will receive a limited
number of language programs.
If successful, this experiment in
putting a greater emphasis on
academics within the residence
hall, may open a new avenue in
the field of language lab opera-
tion, Erwin Hamson, developer of
the experiment and acting director
of the language lab said recently.
Not only will the labs be oper-
ating closer to dormitory dwellers,
but, more important, these rela-
tively inexpensive auxiliary labs
are one practical solution to the
increasing number of students in
need of the laboratory.
Delta Granted
Accreditation
The state commission on Col-
lege Accreditation granted accred-
itation to Delta College as a two-
year institution at its last meet-
ing on Oct. 18.
The effect of this recognition
will assure the transfer of Delta
College credits to other colleges
and universities in the state. The
recognition is for a two-year per-
iod ending June 30, 1964.
The recognition by the commis-
sion is only "the first step on a
long road" to further accredita-
tions for the college, according to
Samuel D. Marble, president of
Delta College.
Voice Places
On Issues' M
By BARBARA LAZARUS
"Voice Political Party repre-
sents a fresh view of radical pol-
itics which emphasizes the moral
approach to political and social
issues," Ralph Kaplan '63, member
of Voice Executive Committee and
chairman of Voice Committee on
the University, said yesterday.
Speaking to the President's
Council of Panhellenic Association.
Kaplan said that these moral con-
cerns include issues such as civil
liberties, disarmament and mi-
grant workers.
"Voice represents an articulate
minority which tries to inject con-
troversy and radical ideas both on
national and University issues into
a politically apathetic campus
community."
See Radical Ideas
It broadens students' perspec-
tive to see radical ideas intro-
duced by their fellow students,
Kaplan claimed.
"Voice is concerned with Stu-
dent Government Council's lack
of direction or power. On the Uni-
versity level this means that SGC
has played a very minor role in
contributing to University policy
decisions."
There are tvco acceptable ways
out of SGC's lack of power within
the University. One way is to have
SGC have direct control of student
rules, and this path was rejected
by SGC last year. The alternative
way is for students to become
part of a student-faculty govern-
ment, he noted.
Forum for Students
In discussing the National Stu-
dent Association, Kaplan said that
"it provides a forum for students
and student leaders to discuss na-
tional and international issues as
