course designed for superior un-

raises questions involving several
basic disciplines.,

cialy interesting. "Gulliver's

U Plans Training Course;
Teacher Exam Date Settled

By STEPHANIE ROUMELL
"Saroyan, like John Osborne,
expresses dissatisfaction with so-
ciety in his plays," Alan Katz, lab-
oratory bill coordinator of the
s p e e c h department's one-act
plays, commented, "but the two
playwrights show this dissatisfac-
tion differently."
Saroyan's "My Heart's in the
Highlands" will be presented by
the speech department at 4:10
p.m. today in Trueblood Audi-
torium in the Frieze Bldg.
Osborne strikes out vitriolically,
he continued, and even though his
"Look Back in Anger" is weak in
structure, its strong characteri-
zations make it a good play.
Better Structure
Osborne's "Epitaph for George
Dillon," currently running at the
Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre, is
better structured than "Look
Back," Katz said.
"Saroyan, however, looks at the
society about him with a wistful
sadness -sharplytcontrasted to
Osborne's vitriolic attack.".
He expresses wistfullness, Katz
said, with a great deal of warmth
-like a grandfather who loves his
naughty grandchildren.
Author Loves Children
"In 'Heart's' the main charac-
ter is Johnny, a young boy," he
continued; "Saroyan loves chil-
dren. His theory is that the child
still looks at the world with wide-
eyed wonder, as yet not disillu-
sioned."
"Mr. McGregor, a broken-down,
actor, comes to live at Johnny's
house," he related. "He has his
heart in the highland, for every-
thing he touches turns to sun-
shine."

"This is what Saroyan would
like life to be," Katz maintained.
McGregor is Scotch, but the
highland is more than that of
Scotland, he continued. It is a
spiritual highland where the
heart is free.
Comments Wistfully
And Johnny is hapy while Mc-
Gregor is there, he related. But
in the last scene, people from the
"old people's home" take the old
actor away, telling Johnny he is
going to play Lear in a play.
"Ironically, the sanest man in
the play is taken off to an insane
asylum."
"It is Saroyan's wistful com-
ment, so different from Osborne's
strident protest," Katz pointed
out, "saying this is how society,
has always been."

The Graduate Student Council is sponsoring.
a coffee hour Thursday, December 10 to 4:30
P.M. in Room 3-B of the Union. Dr. Findlay
Carpenter of the School of Education will
speak on the future of automated teaching.

"The director of a play must
feel that a dramatic work has be-
come a part of himself before he
attempts to stage it," Prof. Hugh
Z. Norton of the speech depart-
ment said.
"Although he should look to
other outstanding directors for
inspiration, a good director will
never attempt to copy another's
style," Prof. Norton, who is direct-
ing the current Playbill produc-
tion of John Osborne's "Epitaph
for George Dillon," explained.
Methods of direction must differ
according to the temperament of

the individual director,or the play
will become mechanical and un-
natural.
The director must study the
play until hedevelops a personal
attitude and approach toward it,
which will create unity and pro
vide a basic structure on which
to build the action.
Express Author's Meaning
The director's primary obliga-
tion is fidelity to the author, Prof.
Norton continued. The interpreta-
tion of any particular work need
never be finite, but the director
must strive conscientiously to ex-
press the author's meaning as he
understands it.
If the production is to be suc-
cessful, he continued every mem-
ber of the audience should under-
stand the action.
Character Illuminates
For this reason each actor must
attempt to, present his character
so that it illuminates the mean-
ing of the relationships among all
the other characters, he ex-
plained.
A production which is vague or
deliberately attempts obscurity
has failed in its purpose and is of
little value, Prof. Norton conclud-
ed.
