'AGE FOUR THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 1953 i Legal Snarls Stall State RoadGroup LANSING-()-Legal compli- cations loomed yesterday as a road-block to Michigan's newly- organized turnpike authority. Members of the authority, crea- ted to plan and construct toll roads in the state, indicated they would be interested first in push- ing ahead a Detroit-Toledo toll road with a possible extension to Saginaw. BUT STATE Highway Commis- sioner Charles M. Ziegler warned that there may be opposition to the project along communities downriver from Detroit. The city of Monroe, he said, already has agreed with the state to float bonds for a freeway. And there is a legal question of whether Monroe and other communities will now agree to a toll highway. The authority agreed to ask the attorney general to explore the possibilities of a ,legal snarl. And it was indicated if the Detroit- Toledo road is delayed the author- ity may start considering a De- troit-Chicago toll road. --Daily-Chuck Ritz ACTOR-TEACHER TAYLOR * * * * Actor Taylor Stresses Children's Theater Need.

He's appeared on campus this summer as a sewer man, Roose- velt, a drama producer, a member of the British cockney set aid an innkeeper. And he's not an im- poster. WILILAM TAYLOR alias "Uncle Bill," is an annual summer school member of the University speech department. He received both his undergraduate and Masters de- grees in speech here. Discussing his roles of the pre- sent summer (he has had a ma- jor role in every speech depart- ment production in this summer session), "Uncle Bill" probably, enjoyed playing Roosevelt in "Knickerbocker Holiday" most "because it got a good review." His singing voice, however, ac- cording to orchestra directors, is "unclasified" . . "I can only sing the melody somewhere be- tween tenor and bass," he said. Formerly a high school drama and English teacher in Oxford, his home town, Taylor this fall will take over the new drama work- shop program in Ann Arbor High School. * * * DISCUSSING THE importance of educational theater, Taylor be- lieves there is a strong need for dramatic programs in the second- ary education systems, including children's theater at the elemen- tary level. "But only qualified teachers should be allowed to teach the- ater courses, not those who have majored in other fields," he em- phasized. "Only when schools realize that theater should be artistic and edu- cational," he continued, "and not merely a means of organizing class projects, will high schools abandon the traditional productions like the Aaron Slick From Punkin Crick sort of play, and put on legitimate productions." * * * THE UNIVERSITY speech and play production program offers excellent training for qualified in- structors in drama, according to Taylor who remarked that the "discipline and wholesome en- vironment here are conducive to producing good teachers." Changing the subject to his avocations, the versatile actor- teacher said, that travel is his hobby, mostly in this country, but "Uncle Sam did send me to Europe" a few years ago. "I hate television" Taylor remarked, al- though he felt this attitude was unlike most people interested in the stage because TV is fast be- coming a major area in which dramatic talent can be exploited. Recalling recent drama criti-; cisms and newspaper reviews, "Un-i cle Bill" as an actor said his main gripe is the literary discussion many reviewers, believe important+ to a review, whereas-really the per- formances and production as a whole are what the players them- selves, and probably the readers are looking for. * * * - RETURNING TO the subject of drama teachings, the actor stated that "high school dramatic in- structors should be as superior as college instructors." He went on to point out that, although the final performance of a high school play is not on the college level, the growth of the actor from the time he is given a part 'to the actual production is just as apparent or even more so in the high school student than the college student. And on this closing observation, the stage manager handed "Uncle Bill" a tray of beer mugs and sent him before the audience as an inn- keeper in "Tales of Hoffmann."

The confusion was utter and delightful. Traffic was blocked in the streets. Hundreds of New York- ers passed up lunch to chear and applaud Rufus, who did ev- erything but take a bow. A $200 red-necked hornbill from Siam, he escaped from a pet shop Wednesday morning. Famfly S een In Relation To Economy The unique features of Ameri- can family structure are closely related to our economy and occu- pational structure, Prof. Talcott Parsons, Chairman of the Har- vard University Department of So- cial Relations said yesterday. Speaking to a near capacity crowd on "The American Family," Prof. Parsons told his audience that there are two distinct char- acteristics of the American family. * * * THE FIRST is the lack of an extensive kinship group beyond the small family of parents and children, and the second is the fact that the function of the fam- ily in this country is reaching "rock bottom," he said. However Prof. Talcott said he does not believe that the family is disappearing as an institu- tion. Tighter solidarity of kinship re- lations beyond the immediate f am- ily cannot exist in a highly mobile society, the Harvard professor de- clared. One of these characteristics must be forfeited and in our so- ciety close relationship with a lar- ger family group has been sacri- ficed, he said. "I DON'T THINK this ris an individualistic society," he told his audience. Most of our industrial achievements require a great deal of organization the Professor ex- plained. Americans have resisted central- ization in the name of subgroups rather than individuals, and one of our most important subgroups is the family, he commented. VISITING LECTURER: A kzinSees Little Chance For Israeli-Arab Peacej By ELSIE KUFFLER "Unfortunately, there is little chance of an early peace and re- conciliation between Israel and neighboring Arab states," Prof. Benjamin Akzin, visiting professor in the political science department said. Prof. Akzin, who teaches at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel, explained that the leaders of the Arab states have not yet be- ** * "and it ought to give Jews af chance to show how good orbad they are when they are on their own." COMPARED TO the record of other nations, Israel has proved it- self in the first five years of its existence worthy of the chance, he continued. Prior to his invitation to Jer- usalem in 1949, when the Hebrew University instituted its law school and inaugurated a politi- cal science department in the liberal arts college, Prof. Akzin had lived in the United States since 1932. After having taught in this country and serving in the Library of Congress, Prof.. Akzin (who holds doctorates from the Univer- sities of Vienna, Paris and Har- vard) now teaches political science and constitutional law and in ad- dition serves as Dean of the law school of the Hebrew University. THE KINDLY professor was "appalled" at first by conditions under which students and profes- sors worked at Israeli's only uni- versity. But he soon came to ad- mire the superior results achieved against such overwhelming ob- stacles as lack of books and labor- atories, inadequate housing and teaching in rented buildings, he said.

Only time will make them change their attitude." Concerning the effect of the formation of Israel on the sta- 'tus of the Jews in America, Prof. Akzin commented that the "ex- istence of a Jewish State should affect that status no more than the independence of Ireland or Sweden or Liberia should affect the status of Americans of Irish, Swedish, or Negro ancestry." However, it should help the Jews o those countries where they are oppressed the professor added, '-7, /01 AXLURE* BRA ss Warner's* exciting exclusive -wonderful O'Lure elastic bra that stretches with you for 'round-the-clock comfort; Nylon satin undercups with embroidered nylon marqui- setae.

Celebrating the annual conven- tion of the camp, approximately 300 people have poured in from all over Michigan and the sur- rounding states. THE CAMP, dedicated to "the healthy body-and sun, light, and air" is located about eight miles from Battle Creek, on a 140 acre plot containing a private lake. It is surrounded on three sides by an innocent looking fence which is actually wired for sound so that any mischievous person climbing over can be detected in the main office. The fourth side of the camp is bordered by a swamp. "The average age of the mem- bers is around 35 although wej have children as young as three and men as old as 80," Ad-j ams remarked. "Sunshine and Health," one of the nudist per- iodicals, said that about 90% of all nudists are family members. Adams said that many single people stay at his camp, which is open all year. "We usually- have two or three marriages a year of couples who spent some time at the camp." NEXT SPRING we might even have a completely nude wedding. This will be the third such wedding in the United States and the first in the state of Michigan. Of course this is highly speculative." There are several strict rules to which all nudist camps subscribe. No liquor or swearing is permitted. Smoking is frowned upon, but only because it constitutes a fire haz- ard. Located in the basement of Sun Valley Lodge are 500 parakeets. Adams calls parakeet raising his "winter occupation." "However," he added, "many people come up here in the winter time to our monthly indoor par- ties or just to rest." We Have It!! "DRAGN\TET" Ray Anthony's Latest Hit IN STOCK NOW!
