His innovative ideas a society should reflect 'n itself, and the historian’s roach to this problem are themselves major con tributions to American arts and letters. belief of subjective Hording of history is reflec ted in his book on Black Mt. He disputes the traditional ^thods of recording orical events and adopts Wead a position of active sjimilation of, and com- m^tary on, the path of ■'ipianity. Duberman believes th^ attempts at gaining pure “Activity in historical repor- tag-as well as in at all types 'yrception of life-only deny For him, history is Nple discussing people, yis position is carried over all facets of human behavior. “Human nature is a vital element in human plan ning and living” to quote one press release.

OPEN 10:00 'TIL 5:30 the American Bureau. Jonathan Williams is perhaps one of the most shockingly delightful poets of our time. James Dickey once said of him, “my generation has not the equal of Jonathan Williams or anything like it.” A native bom Ashevillian, he was educated at Princeton University, the Institute of Design (Chicago), and Black Mountain College. He is a noted lecturer in the United States and Europe, and has published two volumes of poems. The first book, “An Ear in Bartram’s Tree”, led Buck minster Fuller to refer to Williams as the Johnny Ap- pleseed of our generation. His poems range from the refined to the erotic, and with the everpresent Williams wit, of ten leave the'teader outraged, boggled, and amused-and always to at least some degree enlightened. Williams has been likened to a honey bee; often with a lethal sting. REVIEW BY HELEN MOSELEY “Inquest in the Twiight Zone” was presented January 28-29 and February 4 as a Winter Term independent project. “Inquest in the Twiight Zone” submerges the audien ce into a world of anxiety an anguish, futilely waiting for something to relieve the ten sion. Throughout the per formance, however, one grows more tense as piercing screams and unwanted silen ce increase the disharmony. Undoubtedly, the author’s purpose was precisely this tension. His use of one character solely as the Technician to control striking lighting and sound effects reflect the importance of the technical aspect which em phasize the tension. Perhaps the Technician is even him self a symbol of the technological control of human beings. The entire play seems to reflect a depressing view of life as the roles of the individual charac ters seem to merge distinctly into one-man entertain themselves in similar ways with no real pur pose behind them. It is a sear ch for purpoiieand waiting, a^ in Godot, for thatjwjiich nevei^, comes. I - j The play is a ci^lmination of the writing of C^ris Tayldr and the cast’s inovatiohs-Bill Peterson plays the Actor imitating the superficial ac tions of Mary Lou Brown (the Girl) and Aurelia Huff (the Woman). Their ability to create a growing tension is to be appreciated although its effect upon the audience is one of disturbing strangeness. There is no plot as such but a series of fragmented scenes that the audience is left to put together as the Technician speaks in the closing line “I have at last come home.” The THE LANCE complex symbolism inhibits the audience from completely comprehending the play, yet at the same time leaves one feeling mysteriously empty, robbed of a treasured illusion. REVIEW BY TIM TOURTELLOTTE For a Winter term project Danny Mizell directed a play by Tennessee Williams, sud denly Last Summer, in room 132, L.A. The actors - most notably Tommy Sperling, Paula Mell and Sydney Humphress - per- in formed smoothly and easily; All their concentration was quite admirable despite the fact that the audience was so close to the set. The supporting cast ~ Suzanne Collins, Barbara Parker, Clark Einbinder and Cindy Sperling - though having small parts, per formed with enthusiam and talent, most especially Miss Parker and Einbinder as the greedy and coniving mother and son. Danny Mizell’s talent as a director is commendable, or was it the acting talent of Sperling, Humphress and Mell that made the play an en joyable success? At any rate, I hope that other theatre talents on this campus will follow Danny’s example - and produce more independant plays with the lucid, mature quality of Mizell’s play.
