They have greater con- cerns about the economy and na- tional politics, both of which are in part, he said, a concern for their future. "In Tokyo st~udents demon- strated at the Diet over an agree- ment with the United States- leftist groups one day, reaction- aries the next," he said. "In Hong Kong the only groups I talked with who were really concerned over the new territory agreements were students. And everywhere I went students and professors raised a lot of ques- tions about our foreign policy." Mr. Lewis also interviewed many former Michigan students during his trip. One of their major con- cerns, he said, was that when they returned home they were expected to be experts on Amer- ica. Want To Learn "Why don't you make us learn more about the economy, the political system, and the Univer- sity we attended?" they asked him. He said he is now working with Student Government Council on this problem, discussing possible lectures and discussion groups with voluntary attendance for these students. In general though, Lewis said, "College students are very much the same everywhere, once you get beyond the impact of their individual cultures. Coffee houses in Tokyo are "like the Union- only the music is live," he said. Students abroad also complain about many of the same things Americans do, he said--residence hall facilities, food, heat, the ex- am system. "It made no difference whether they had comprehensive exams at the end of three years of pro-, gress, or a system like ours- whether the tests were subjective or objective -- they wanted it changed," he said. To Produce Con greve's Comic Play By MAME JACKSON William Congreve's restoration comedy, "Way of the World," will be presented on the Playbill series April 6 through April 9 in Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. Prof. Paul Mueschke of the English department and his wife have recently written a book which offers a revolutionary in- terpretation of this play. The book, "A New View of Congreve's 'Way of the World'," draws atten- tion to the element of serious thought in the play. By establishing the plot as a legacy - conflict, the Mueschkes have been able to clarify the wit and morality of Congreve's play. The book is based on the as- sumption that Congreve was writ- ing a moral, reflective comedy and the play should therefore be viewed as an "ethical as well as an aesthetic achievement." Scene-by-Scene Analysis From a scene-by-scene analysis, the Mueschkes conclude that in this play Congreve no longer sub- scribes to the "carpe diem" philosophy of other Restoration authors or even to the philosophy of his own earlier plays. "Way of the World" reflects the "permanent and universal values which civilized man, regardless of creed or country, has promulgated and cherished." The Mueschke interpretation is welcomed by theatre directors who have been tempted to pro- duce "Way of the World" for its brilliance, but have been detered by its seventeenth century repu- tation for immorality. "Way of the World" is admit- tedly Congreve's greatest work," Prof. Mueschke said. "It repre- sents the highest achievement in English comedy for a period cov- ering over half a century." Meets with Authors Prof. Halstead of the speech department, director of the Play- bill production, met with Prof. and Mrs. Mueschke before begin- ning his work on the play. Emphasis is on staging the play as it would have been staged in Congreve's day. A set of ancient theatrical grooves discovered in an abandoned opera house last year will be used by Ralph W. Duckwall in the Ann Arbor pro- duction. Continuously changing scenes will be simulated by means of sliding sets in and out of view of the audience using the grooves. Costumes and the women's hair- dressings will also be in keeping with those times. Condit Lecture Set for Today "Architecture and the Intellec- tual and Technical World" will be the subject of a guest lecture by Prof. Carl W. Condit, Associate Professor of History of Science at Northwestern University. The lecture, to be given at 3:30 p.m. today in the Architecture Aud. will use skyscrapers and sus- pension bridges as two basic ex- amples. Daily Classifieds Bring Results 3 * OILS, DRAWINGS ON DISPLAY: Vidar, Rattner Exhibit To Continue at Art Museum T By LORA KRAPOHL Two art exhibitions are cur- rently on display at the Univer- sity's Museum of Art. The showing of 22 oils and sev- eral drawings done by Prof. Frede Vidar, of the design school, will contine through April 6. "Although Vidar is concerned r with the Byzantine culture, he treats it in his paintings in a contemporary fashion," Prof. Wil- liam Lewis of the design school said. "The actual subject of the paintings is Mount Athos. Athos is actually a government, a reli- gion, and a way of life in an ancient society." "Vidar represents this society through the use of symbols and physical attributes. These paint- ings are abstract in the true sense of the word," Prof. Lewis said. "What makes Athos important' is its unchanging culture. It is as if you cut them off from the world 600 years ago." Prof. Vidar, who visited Mount Athos in 1958, has exhibited sev- eral times in New York and throughout the United States, Europe and Australia. This exhibition, which is spon- sored jointly by the Rackham School of Graduate Studies and the College of Architecture and Design, is the third and last of the current winter series demon- strating work accomplished under Rackham grants. The second exhibition is com- posed of paintings and drawings by Abraham Rattner and will be shown until April 3rd. "Rattner is a religious painter. Traditional subjects from the old testament are handled in a con- temporary manner," Prof. Lewis said. "The subject matter is al- ways present but the composition becomes more and more domi- nant." "There is, for instance, a whole series of drawings which develops into a study for the 'Last Judge- ment Triptych.' This is for me the most interaesting part of the ex- hibit," he said. Each oil paint of Rattner's "The Last Judgement Triptych" is 48 inches by 96 inches. The actual oil, represented by a color trans- parency, is composed of three sep- arate oils mounted together. "The color in Rattner's works is brilliant. In fact, its intensity is a bit unusual even in these times," Prof. Lewis added. --Daily-Paul Kryzmicki TRADITIONAL SUBJECTS-The paintings of Abarham Rattner treat religious scenes from the Old Testament in a conwemporary manner. The Rattner exhibit will be on display at the Art Museum until April 3rd.

It can only be a question of time until it topples, but we must contribute to its fall as soon as possible. "The first step will be a total economic boycott against South Africa." w , , GERMANY (EAST)-A bulletin from the State Secretariat for Higher Education says in the fu- ture East German students will not be allowed to study at institutions of higher learning of the Western world, "as important as it might be in certain fields." From now on, the students will only have the possibility of study- ing a few semesters, under certain conditions, at universities in the countries of the East Bloc. At present there are about 1,000 East German students participat- ing in this exchange program. There are also about 1,000 foreign students from such countries as Iraq, Guinea, the Sudan; the United Arab Republic, Indonesia, and Burma studying at institutions of East Germany. * * * GERMANY (EAST)-A district court in Thurginia sentenced four students of the Ilmenau Electro- technic Institute to long peniten- tiary terms. The students were reproached with having sent information about the work at the Institute, their departments, and about the professors to fellow students who have fled to West Germany. The court termed this "espion- age" and laid down penal servitude of from three to four years. PLAYBILL : To Present 'Esurial' "Escurial," a one-act play by Michael de Gehlderode, will be presented by the Laboratory Play- bill at 4:10 p.m. today at the Arena theatre in the Frieze Bldg. The play takes place in the throne room of "Escurial," the palace of Phillip the Second about 1600 A.D. "As the play begins, one of Phillip's four queens is dying," David H. Burr, Grad., the director, said. "Since he is nearly insane under normal circumstances, he is utterly insane in this extreme situation. Phillip is afraid of death and, I feel, his conscience is needling him because he feels no sorrow about the queen's death," Burr added. Calls for Jester "King Phillip calls in Folial, the court jester, and in a brillant piece of dialogue he and the jester change places. Due to these cir- cumstances the absolute truth sur- rounding their situation is brought to light." The clown has made love to the queen while she has made the king "chatter with freezing looks." When this is revealed there is a struggle for the crown. However, when a monk announces the death of the queen, Folial's spirit is broken. ThenKing regains the crown and has the clown executed. Cast Set King Phillip is played by Jack Rouse, '61BAd.; Folial by Ty Mc- Connell, '61; the monk by Patrick Chester, '60, and the executioner by William O'Brien, '61. "My primary concern in doing -this play is to present to an Amer- ican audience a production of a play by a Spanish writer of great merit who is practically unknown," Burr said. "Recently there has been a great deal of inquiry and criticism of and about his work which can be further illuminated and extended by production," he added. .1 -Daily-Paul Kryzmicki BYZANTINE CULTURE-The oils and drawings of Professor Frede Bezar of the design school, portraying the ancient society of Mount Athos are on exhibit at the Art Museum.
