The committee especially would
like. to see course choices made
on a basis of rationality and not
wild guessing. This impells stu-
dents’ knowing what each course
entails more accurately and ex-
plicitly than the catalog’s details
now provide. They would like for
each professor to write briefly
what his course consists of -- a
tentative reading list if possible,
the number of exams and papers,
etc. Then they want the entire
catalog to be rewritten.
The committee on advising first
brought up the role of the wardens.
They found the wardens to be

lollipops, Al Brown, who plays
a bear, confides, still wearing
his furry hide: ‘‘I’m a method actor
myself, so every night before I
come to rehearsal I just sort of
roll around on my bed and tear
up my roommate,’’
Mr, Butman clarifies his views
on the production, ‘tWe’re cer-
tainly not interpreting Shak-
speare by Chagall. It’s simply
that the idea of Chagall, which came
up quite by chance, gave us a
clue to costume and color, which
is always useful in holding a pro-
duction together, The most
interesting problem, intellectually
and emotionally, is the excitement
of discovering what is going on
in late Shakespeare. This is a
work of his most mature years
and in talking to the students
about it I liken it to the late
Beethoven quartets, late Rem-
brandt sketches, and the last
work of El Greco, Here we have a
chance to discover subtleties so
subtle that even at third reading
they pass unobserved, But after
working with them on the stage
we find suddenly that a line of
utter simplicity, completely with-
out poetic adornment, comes
through with a power and an hon-
esty beyond Shakespeare’s ear-
lier, more poetic lines,
‘*] talk about many of the
speeches as being ‘slabs of emo-
tion’; it is not really necessary
for the audience to hear the words
or understand the thoughts of the
particular speech--as it is in,
say, ‘‘Hamlet’’ or ‘‘Othello,”’ In
‘‘The Winter’s Tale,’’ emotion is
a color played off against other
colors, rather than an analysis
of. the characters’ feelings, This
is one reason why we wanted to
set the play mainly with color
rather than three-dimensional
forms,”’
Mr, Butman once piled together
on atable all the costume materials
for ‘‘The Winter’s Tale,’”’ then
opened a book of Chagall prints
to the middle and laid it over
them, ‘‘Everything flowed to-
gether,’”’ he beamed,

personal and academic problems
some students would like to bring
to them. This ‘is partly because
they are graduate students who
don’t really have time to dis-
pense crying towels and partly
because they are not chosen for
their motherly or gregarious
qualities. They suggested that the
big sister-little sister system
could be reinstated to supplement
the wardens. They also asked that
the School of Social Work be look-
ed into as a possible source of
qualified counseling personnel.
The physical facilities commit-
tee recommended the building of
a real student union building, a
multi-level parking lotacross from
Rock and Shipley, and a lounge
and coffee room in the library.
The fifth subcommittee pri-
marily recommended that relations
between the Graduate School and
the undergraduate school be in-
creased, and that programs at
nearby colleges be taken advantage
of more than they are now.

Coffee House Idea
Tuesday, November 8 is the date
for a film on the coffee informa-
tion service presently under the
auspices of MADEMOISELLE
magazine,
Refreshments will also be :'
served in the Common Room of
Goodhart Hall where the movie
will be shown at 4:30 p.m. The
purpose of the project is to en-
courage students to initiate or
frequent a campus ‘coffee house
for socializing as well as coffee
imbibing. :
The actual idea is that the cam-
pus coffee house can be the site
for the reunion of students and the
airing of collegiate problems in
a friendly atmosphere. The cof-
fee industry as well as the aca-
demic body are to be beneficiaries
