AMA ON UPSWING:
By TAMMY MORRISON
At the end of its second season,
inishing up this week-end, the
dramatic Arts - Center tan look
ack. on two years of progress.
In these two years, favorable
pinion of the DAC has grown,
nd attendance has grown with
. This season's "Hedda Gabler"
it an all-time high of more than
,000.
Joseph Gistirak, DAC's, director,
ays that students are partially
esponsible for the upswing, since
pproximately two-thirds of the
udiences are now students.
The main burden of actual pro-
uction still lies with the towns-
eople, however, although some
udents have been employed in
ilnor roles.
More Understanding
Gistirak feels that every one of
he plays selected for production
as something special to say about
fe. "Usually," he says, "they're
plea for the world, for more un-
erstanding among people. They're
Iso an affirmation and celebra-
on of the dignity and stature of
an."
Selection of the plays is usually
p to Gistirak. He picks them
om his own knowledge of theater
terature or from the suggestions
the audience or people inter-
ted in the DAC.
"My' choice is governed by vari-
les," he says. "I have to take
to consideration how well we can
o them, when and where they
Gistirak, the advantages and dis-
advantages to both arena and pros-
cenium arrangements balance each
other.
"With the arena stage," Gistirak
explains, "the audience identifies;
there is an immediacy of impact.
On the other hand, the proscen-
ium stage provides detachment
and perspective."
He feels that some plays adapt
well to either arrangement. He has
no special method of adapting his
plays to the arena stage, because
each scene has its particular de-
mands and problems. "I don't like
to work. consistently with either
one," he says. "Ideally, the per-
fect arrangement would be to
change off."
Switching
Gistirak thinks that switching
off between acting and directing
helps both one's acting and direct-
ing ability, but that it's not good
to do both at once.
He considers "Sleep" the best
play they've done this season. He
says of it, "It's a rary kind of
theater experience. It combines
the elements of theutheater most
often talked about - religious
vision, high level humor and free-
flowing dramatic structure. It's
a beautiful example of the way a
playwright adapts the drama to
the needs of a specific thesis."
Ann Arbor audiences are, in
general, more literate than the or-
dinary metropolitan ones, he
thinks. This enables the DAC to
produce a relatively higher caliber
play.
And as to the future of this
striving young theater group?
"Well," says the intent director,
"I hope that it will eventually take
its place in the tradition of the
Moscow Art Theatre or the Come-
die Francaise."
-Daily-Sam Ching
JOSEPH GISTIRAK
... a plea for the world"
have been performed before and,
whe.ther or not our production will
have anything to add to them."
Gistirak hopes to attempt Shake-
speare eventually. He feels that
same problems, on a smaller scale,
that a Shakespeare play would.
Special Technique
"There Is a special acting tech-
nique requiredto deliver verse with
passion and authority," he says.
the present production, "AE
of Prisoners," poses many of
Sleep
f the "The chief problem 4s the way in
which you transmit the author's
poetic feeling integrated with a
sustained dramatic impact. We're
not quite ready for that yet."
The DAC, following the trail left
by the old Arts Theatre, uses the
arena stage for economic reasons
f and because interested towns-
people preferred it. According to
Correspondent
Lauds Press
In Lecture
News coverage in this country
is now at the highest level that it
has ever been anywhere, accord-
ing to Paul A. Shinkman, Wash-
ington correspondent for the Cen-
tral Press Association, who spoke
yesterday at the University.
He spoke on "Washington News-
Mill" before a group of journalism
students.
Shinkman, a University gradu-
ate, listed the four main channels
of Washington news:
"1) Printed reports and mimeo-
graphed news releases put out by
some 800 government and non-
Government agencies;
"2) News conferences, such as
those at the White House, State
Department and embassies and le-
gations of foreign powers;
"3) Attendance at Congression-
al sessions, hearings and commit-
tee meetings; and in the missions
of foreign Powers on Embassy
Row."
He cited some figures pertaining
to last year's deluge of news from
the Capital. Included in this were
75 million pounds of printed Gov-
ernment reports; about 10,000
mimeographed news releases, in-
cluding 714 from the State De-
partment alone; and 315 pamph-
let prints of international treaties.

Dr. Naoe Naganuma, prominent
teacher of the, Japanese language
to foreign students, yesterday ad-
dressed University students'of Jap-
anese on present day trends in
that language.
Prof. Naganuma, the guest of
the Department of Oriental Lan-
guages and Literature, is on an
around-the-world trip to observe
how Japanese is taught in various
foreign countries. Besides the
United States, he will visit Cana-
da, several European countries, In-
dia, and Thailand before return-
ing to Japan.
The Japanese educator also ex-
pressed an interest in the teach-
ing of English as a foreign lan-
guage. Prof. Naganuma is direc-
tor of the Tokyo School of the
Japanese Language, largest lan-
guage school for foreigners in
Japan.
In his talk, Prof. Naganuma not-
ed that Japanese as an instrument
of Asian communication will con-
tinue to be important in the yearsj
to come. Due to Japan's leader-
ship i'n industrial development and
a cultural background similar in'
many respects to underdeveloped
nations in Asia, many students
from these countries are coming
to Japan to study in fields such as
agriculture.
Japan oftenmprovides these stu-
dents with more realistic ap-
proaches to their own problems
than do therUnited States and
other Western nations where
mechanization is at too advanced
a stage to be of use to them at
this time, Prof. Naganuma com-
mented. Command of the Japan-
ese language is necessary to carry
on this type of study.
Prof. Na g a n u m a described
changes in Japanese which oc-
curred after the war when use of
the traditional polite forms seemed
to lapse, particularly amongst the
younger generation. At the pres-!
ent time, however, there is a move-
ment back to the more honorific
terms, he said.
