By KAREN WEINHOUSE "Team teaching is the most suc- cessful aspect of the new format for English 123," Prof. Hubert M. English of the English department said last week. Twenty-eight sections are parti- cipating in the revamped program, which divides the semester into two-week units. The first session of each unit is a lecture for the entire group, with a rhetorical principle or idea discussed in regard to a previous- ly assigned essay. Seven Lecturers Each of the seven lecturers for the course meets with four of the sections, two at a time, on the second class day. He works with the material from the lecture unit. "This method keeps lecturers in contact with the individuals in his course, whereas usually a lec- Parents To Attend Tutorial Meeting The Ann Arbor Tutorial Pro- ject will hold a meeting at 2 p.m. today in Room 3-S of the Union. Tutors are urged to attend to meet with the parents of the children who will be tutored. turer has little reaction from his students," Prof. English noted. In the remaining four sessions of the unit, each instructor meets separately with his section so that previous papers and present work may be discussed and criticized. Writing Conferences Five writing conferences are planned for the semester, so that each student can receive private attention from his instructor. "The two main purposes of the program are to make the teaching fellows' induction into the course as smooth as possible and to al- low the freshman students to get experienced instruction," Prof. English noted. After a teaching fellow has had a year of experience in the team teaching program, he is given an independent section which will meet three times a week according to the traditional format of Eng- lish 123. Be Significant Teaching the student to say something significantly is the ob- jective of the first semester Eng- lish course. The objective is sought through the study of writing tech- niques. The lecture - recitation section instruction was adopted on an ex- perimental basis for both English 123 and 124 in the fall of 1962. Last year the English depart- ment offered 18 sections of Eng- lish 123 and 12 sections of English 124 under the lecture-recitation arrangement. However, freshmen had the option of electing a recita- tion-only section if they so de- sired. Since then, the revised format has been used in a larger propor- tion of the English 123 sections, although the recitation-only for- mat is used in the majority of the sections.

A strikig Spanish courtyard set with clean lines provided a flexible area for working out the twin romances of Beatrice with Benedick and Hero with Claudio. Richard Baldridge's direction provided a deliberate pace that resulted in extreme clarity of expression and action. It also decked out the play with a generous amount of stage business to point up the character relationships and ex- tract something close to the ut- most of comic possibilities. * * * IN THE leading role of Beatrice the beautiful man- hater was Nancy Marchand, well remembered for her crea- tion of top feminine role in the original television presentation of "Marty." She made of Beatrice a woman of crisp wit and arch manner, avoiding the coy over- playing which has frequently marred the rendition of this role in less capable hands. Opposite her as Benedick was Ellis Raab, the APA's artistic director. He carefully built his por- trayal and captivated the! aud- ience with his working out of the scene in which the sworn bachelor decides that he will, after all, become a suitor. Clayton Corzatte, as Claudio, submits a precise performance that is born of rich experience in classical assignments. Jan Farrarand radiates charm and sweetness as his be- loved Hero. * * * AS DON JOHN, who schemes to poison their romance, Paul Sparer is an excellent heavy, exuding malevolence with little more explanation than "I can- not hide what I am." Joseph Bird engenders high spirits with his low-comedy por- $rayal of the officious and ver- bose constable Dogberry. He has a fine few minutes at stage center reciting confusing and useless orders. -Detroit Free Press, Oct. 11, 1963 I { E I TRUEBLOOD THEATRE SEATS AVAILABLE at Box Office SAT., 8:30 SUN., 3::00 I I
