t i Thursday, February 24, 1966 THE DAILY TAR HEEL Brecht Play Didn't Quite By MYLES ERIC IXDWIG DTH Staff Writer On Sunday afternoon, t h e Wesley Foundation's Sunday Afternoon Symposium present ed a group of scenes from "The Private Life of the Mas ter Race" by Bertolt Brecht. Despite the obvious failings of the production and there were many the people in volved are to be congratulated for attempting to move away from the horrible amateurism that has characterized most, if not all of the offerings of this university's drama depart ment. Whether they succeeded or not is another story, but they did try. The play is designed to give us the human side of the sup erhuman, i.e. what the Nazis were really like. Unfortunate ly, just as the task seems somehow banal and even su perfluous, so does the play. The piece lacks the theatrical, spirit which pervades Brecht's other works. The last scene, entitled "Tne Jewish Wife," is exemplar. We are given a portrait of a wom an .. . Jewish and married to a non-Jew. She is preparing to leave Germany perhaps to spare herself, perhaps to spare her husband from the associa tive persecution. And yet, the scene is never Film Making Story Told The story of a unique film making program in North Ca rolina is told in ihe latest is sue of "The Journal of the So ciety of Cinematologists." Author of the article is El mer Oettinger, assistant direc tor of the Institute of Govern ment here and formerly on the faculty of the UNC Depart ment of Radio, TV and Mo tion Pictures. During the three - year life of the N. C. Film Board, 20 documentary and educational films designed to portray the people, problems, themes and life of North Carolina were produced, according to Oettin ger's article.

We are given no real clues to the woman's Jewishness, no real clues to the quality of her reaction to the extermination of her people. In fact, had the scene not been prefaced by a title and were only two lines eliminated, the audience would have only the vaguest idea of the reason for this character's problem. Two lines and a titles are pret ty shaky struction to build j scene on. What is said for the play may also be said for the per formance.

The drama was directed by Terry Gregory with sorr.e imagination, but with not quite enough. Though the stage area was limited, better use could have been made of it. It is dis concerting to see the actors performing as stagehands, es pecially when the lights are on. Anyway, one is thankful for small things.

Are classroom instruction, faculty loyalties and academic fields with traditions of excellence being threatened bv federal funds? A UNC economist and pres ident of the Southern Econo mic Association has an answer to each of these charges. Prof. Ralph W. Pfouts believes manv charges hurled at federal re search programs arise from a misunderstanding of the na ture of higher education and the educational process. "It is a mistake to think about universities in the same way one thinks about prima ry and secondary educational institutions," explains t h e chairman of the Department of Economics. "The function of universities is different and broader. Their responsibility is correspondingly greater." " Universities must not mere ly transmit the existing body of knowledge, they must strive to enlarge it, Pfouts contends. Advancement of knowledge through research is as impor tant as its being passed on to the young. "A university wor thy of the name should pur sue both activities." Pfouts thinks the surest way to obtain an alert and enlight ened faculty is to have one that engages in research. "The QUALITY 12 - STORE VALUE! II DA Y" ) VI professor who both teaches and researches finds himself in the midst of the struggle to advance knowledge, and he becomes aware of the chan ging content of knowledge in a wav not otherwise p os s i ble." BALANCED FACULTY Recently, he continues, American universities have made a conscious attempt to create a balanced faculty which engages effectively in both research and classroom laboratory instruction. In many cases, universities that have been charged with becom ing "research factories" be cause of Federal encourage ment have only developed a more balanced approach. "If institutions with a tradi tion of excellence in certain academic fields abandon these or lose their excellence to ob tain a bigger share of funds in other fields, this is clearly the responsibility of local univer sity administrators," Pfouts believes. Advancement in one area may serve to stimulate re search in another area. In any case, he feels it is certainly possible to enhance fields eligi ble for research funds without damaging fields in which there are traditions of excellence. The UNC economist warns that money for research and fellowships is not sufficient to promote a center of excellence. Acquisition of outstanding fac TO - 16 LB. SMOKED EliKBIrW 1P5 ANN PAGE lOVfc-OZ. KJ CANS ulty members is a slow and difficult process, and a center of excellence cannot be found ed without a good faculty. Pfouts has an answer for those who suspect a shift of loyalty among faculty mem bers away from their univer sities to federal agencies sup pi vine research funds. LOYAL FACULTY "If a university experiences a decline in loyalty among its faculty, I think it can usually find the cause internally rather than externally." he says. "If a university administration is able to pay its faculty well, provide good conditions for re search and teaching and rea sonable fringe benefits, and if it assures its faculty it has pro per regard for academic free dom, it is likely to have a very loyal faculty." Since the motive behind go vernment grants is to promote research and add to the store Thavt'r To Represent of knowledge, Pfouts thinks the "ideal program" is one which At Convocation provides completely for research projects, including Dr. Phillip Thaver. who re small projects m various m-ccivcd his master-s and doc. stitutions and m different loral degrees al the Universi. fields.

"I am strongly in favor of pro viding grants to institutions that may be used at their own discretion." While money alone cannot make an institution great nor expand the store of knowledge, he continues, it can be gener ously and sensibly utilized to free human resources and thereby have an important share in both of these endea vors. Pfouts' views were recently entered as official Congress ional testimony on university research support. He was ask ed to present his views in let ter form by the Research and Technical Programs Subcom mittee of the Committee on Government Operations. TOMATO RICE Ha,f Kc I I Gallon SV Cartons U zJ
