Season
By HARVEY ELLIOTT
Due to wholesale confusion, complication and irrational
scheduling among the three area television stations, it's hard to
tell exactly WHEN to expect WHAT or even for HOW LONG on
television these days.
For example, LAUGH-IN, which is advertised as NBC's titanic
kickoff to Monday nights. Except in the Chapel Hill area, where
it's channel ll's titanic kickoff to Tuesday nights (one day late).
Well, we shouldn't complain. It's better than last year when,
for a while, it came to us 10 days late, on Wednesday nights, and
then suddenly caught up with itself and was only three days late
(... hut still LATE!).
Never mind.
The moral is: never trust your network, who tells you to tune
in on the following Wednesday, because you can never tell with
channels 5, 11 and 28. You may have just watched the program
you "don't want to miss" next week.
In order to provide some order to those of you who still have
time (and desire) to watch TV, and who don't subscribe to the
family helper, TV Guide, here's a lineup of what (and when) to
expect with new shows.
MONDAY
9 p.m.-THE SURVIVORS. ABC's expensive new soap-opera
starring Lana Turner and George Hamilton as two jet-setters:
affluent members of a Wall Street banking family in this
continuing one-hour story by CARPETBAGGERS author Harold
Bobbins. (5)
10 p.m -LOVE, AMERICAN STYLE. Perhaps the most
innovative of the season's new programs is this weekly
compilation of mini-dramas ranging from 3 minutes long to
20-minute short stories, all about Love and related topics. With
bigname guests. (5)
11:30 p.m-MERV GRIFFIN. Everyone by now knows about
the newest entry in latenight talk sweepstakes, eliminating one
more timespot for priceless old movies (which are more fun, more
varied and lots less tedious). Griffin doesn't hold a candle to
Carson, and his style is almost as grating as Joey Bishop's. (28)
TUESDAY
8:30 p.m.-MOVIE OF THE WEEK is another ABC
experiment: 90-minute films made especially for T.V. (5)
9:30 p.m.-THE GOVERNOR AND J.J. Another widower hits
the primetime tube, this one is Dan Dailey. He's governor of a
state, with a substitute first lady in his tomboy ish daughter.
(Maybe we can match up the Governor and John Forsythe with
last year's TV widows Doris Day and "Julia." (11)
10 p.m -MARCUS WELBY, M.D. The doctors are back "in,"
and Robert Young (remember FATHER KNOWS BEST?) plays a
general practitioner "steeped in tradition, but with a sharp eye on
the latest medical advances." (5)
WEDNESDAY
8 p.m.-THE COURTSHIP OF EDDIE'S FATHER. Another
widower (this is getting out of hand) and the attempts of his
utesy little son to match him up with hordes of gals. Based on
the Glenn Ford movie of 1965. (5)
8:30 p.m. ROOM 222., That's the address of the new "Mr.
Novak," imthis comedy-drama of high-school life. (5) , , ....
9 p.m.-r-THEN CAME BRONSON. A weekly version of EASY
RIDER, with Michael Parks replacing Peter Fonda as the
motorcycle bum who travels a la ROUTE 66 and meets and learns
to love many good people. (11)
THURSDAY
8 p.m. MEDICAL CENTER. Doctor drama No. 2. What more
can you say? (28)

For
By HARVEY ELLIOTT
If you're concerned about
the death of exciting drama on
campus, take a look at the
Carolina Union's plans for this
year.
You'll find it not only alive
and well, but also ready to
charge.
Electric.
Experimental.
Involvement.
These are key words in Joe
Coleman's recipe for the
drama's resurrection and, he
hopes, success.
The new chairman of the
Union's Drama Committee
expects some flops and
disappointments, but, as he
says, "Man, they're going to be
worth it.
"That's why I interviewed
for the job," he says today.
"There are so many ideas I've
got - so many things I want to
do with drama, and there's
simply no place for students to
carry out these ideas."
Coleman hopes to make the
Drama Committee a place
I
ear
itualistic. Experimental Trea
where "anything goes. We're
open to all campus ideas, and
we want to get the idea across
that if someone would like to
see something done, they can
do it-through us."
Plans are already jelling for
the first production, a reader's
theatre production called "The
Weight,'' which will
incorporate scenes from
contemporary works such as
Joseph Heller's CATCH 22.
As Coleman himself
predicts: "That's some
powerful reader's theatre,
baby."
The Committee will operate
much more experimentally,
much more contemporary than
in former years.
"We're looking more
forward than backwards, and
that's why I'm doing it through
the Carolina Union."
Coleman has other ideas for
reader's theatre in the
round he's working with ONE
FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S
NEST-but don't get the idea
that everything will be done
sitting down.

DRAMA CHAIRMAN JOE COLEMAN
"My idea of theatre," he
says, "is its essential roots in
ritual, a visual and total
experience. I'm talking about
the kind of ritual found in
Genet and Yeats," both of
which Coleman intends to
produce this year.
"But there is some fantastic
ritual theatre that goes back
even farther.
"I'm very interested in the
Japanese classical plays,
somewhat of a theatrical
ceremony in which men sitting
around, sniffing incense. They
then tell a story or memory
connected with this sensual
association.
"From this came a stylized
ritual form of drama, where
action is representative, no!
literal. It's a very spiritual
thing, much in tunc with
todav "s feelings."
Coleman plans, to present an
original play, very ritualistic in
design, called ABRAll M
AND ISAAC.
""I he play will open as if it
were a modern American
church sen ice. involving the
audience in responsive rcacir.g
alter they are seated by ushers.
"The audience remains
involved throughout."
This people-involvement
will be a keynote to Coleman's
plans for the entire ear.
The reader's theatre will, of
course, hae open tryouts. and
the audience will alwas be
involved in such an "informal
theatre."
Coleman will experiment
with Impromptu Theatre,
similar to guerilla theatre, but
more spontaneous and
involving more of the people.
It will be a happening
sometimes political, sometimes
otherwise.
"We will also e a one-act
pb contest Liter in the car."
Coleman said. "Any ttn!ent
who desires ma submit hss
play. Wc will have experts from
various departments to judge
the merits of the plays, and
then the three dinners will
have their plays produced In
the Union."
Coleman stresses t he
importance of involvement and
calls it "the true essence of
theatre."
''Whenever there is
sensation." Coleman
commented, "there is no more
involvement. The theatre of
nudity can never have real
involvement, because our
society has instilled in us that
unerasable sensation-reaction."
Perhaps one could dismiss
such philosophy if it appeared
in essay form, because it would
never have any practical test.
But it will be fascinating to
watch Joe Coleman and see
what he does with ritual,
involvement and electricity this
year with the Carolina Union
drama committee.
