The summer sesslo will begin

The first session of the regular
summer program, the inter-ses-'

The mid-session will be from
June 29 to Aug. 8. This session
was previously kndwn as the
main session, Weaver said, but
the name was changed because
there will actually be three main
or 6-week periods next summer.
"Therefore there will be five
separate sessions running con
currently," he said, "and there
will be special course offerings
to accompany the change."

Canadian Player Values Experience
By 80881 LEVINE
Ted Follows, featured actor
with the Canadian Players,
doesn't believe in studying
drama in college.
Follows,, who majored in
psychology at the University
of Toronto, clarified his rather
startling statement by Adding
that he did not believe in taking
drama courses for credit, but he
did recommend theatre students
to act in as many school produc
tions as possible.
"I think schools can give you
a background," he said. "But I
think ytm can learn more by. get
ting up and' acting—with actors
better than you are.
"You can learn only a certain
amount by sitting around watch
ing other people. I think you can
learn best by doing it yourself."
Follows studied in New York
with Hobert Berghoff and Uta
Hagen after his graduation from
college. He feels it was there that
he developed his technique.
Mrs. Ted Follows, nee Dawn
Greenhalgh, began acting while
in high school in Montreal. Rosa

employers are more concerned
now with breadth and depth of
undergraduate requirements. He
suggested that students take elec
tives in summer school together
with required subjects to widen
their backgrounds.
"In accordance with this," he
said, "the University is making
available this enlarged summer
program to give undergraduates
a chance to enrich and strengthen
their training oven and beyond
the mere curriculum require
ments. It will make them better
prepared to meet the new and
higher qualifications of industry."
Many of the courses for under
graduates in the 3-6-3 program
will be scheduled for the 6-6 sum
mer sessions, Weaver said.
With the 6-6 program, under
graduates will be able to take
courses right through the sum
mer with more continuity, he
said, adding that it will also
help those who have jobs part
of the summer.
Whereas the 6-6 sessions will
;be geared to undergraduates,
Weaver said, the 3-6-3 periods
will be devoted more to graduate
students. But he emphasized that
grauate work will be carried in
the 6-6 program and undergrad
uate courses in the 3-6-3 setup.
The graduate work in the 3-6-3
sessions will be especially
,planned for teachers, school ad
iministrators and in-service grad
uate students, he said.

Shakespearean role. plays in his career.
She was born in China and was
evacuated 'to Canada when the
Communists took over the gov

"I think Rosalind is certainly
the most demanding part I've
ever done and one of the largest
female parts ever written," she
said.
She continued that Shakes
peare's plays are harder to read
in this day and age because a
lot of his dialogue dealt with
subjects of the time. She said a
lot of his lines have lost their
topical value, and subtitles that
weer understood in Shakespeare's
day are not understood by aud
iences today.
Mrs. Followi said she found
that in some respects his come

tragedies. When the troupe heads

Davis Lecture
Dr. W. Allison Davis, educator
and social psychologist, will pre
sent the second talk in the Grad
uate School Lecture Series at 8
tonight in 121 Sparks.
His lecture, co-sponsored by the
Colleges of Education and Home
Economics will be on the subject,
"Ego Development in Adolescence
and Young Adulthood."
Davis, who is professor of edu
cation at the University of , Chi
cago, began his career in the field
of education in 1925 at the Hamp
ton Institute in Hampton, Vir
ginia.
He served two years as a fel
low in anthropology at the Grad
uate Business School at Harvard
and...then five years as professor
of anthropology at Dillard Uni
versity in New Orleans.
He was guest lecturer in human
relations at Yale in 1939 and from
1940 to 1942 was a staff member
of the diviiion of child develop
ment, Commission of 'Teacher
Education, American Council of
Education.
Davis is a graduate of Williams
College where he was valedic
torian of his class. He holds a
master of arts degree from Har
vard and a doctor of philosophy
degree from the University of
Chicago.
In 1940 he wrote, with John
Dollard, the book, "Children of
Bondage," a case study of eight
Negro adolescents in the South
and in the following year he
worked with 8.8. and M. R. Gard
ner in writing "Deep South," an
account of the interaction of life
patterns between the Negro and
white races.
"In the last four years," he
said, "I have done only Shaw
and Shakespeare with the excep
tion of "The Moon Is Blue" which
I played for .two weeks. I think
it makes modern plays so much
easier to do when you have a
good background of these."
Although they have been tour
ing together for two years, this
is the first tour the Follows are
aet 4 ' , ct as man and wife.
"On this tour we're working at
getting along together," he said.
"I think this is probably a lot
easier than being at home," she
said. "At home I'm expected to
rehearse all day and then fix the

Reluctant Debutante
Will Open Friday
An ambitious mother, Sheila Broadbent, conducts a search
for the "right" man for her daughter, Jane, in the Players'
production of William Douglas Home's comedy, "The Reluc
tant Debutante," which opens at 8 p.m. Friday at Center
Stage in the Extension Conference Center.
"The Reluctant Debutante" is
the second Players' production of
the year in arena style. It will
play Fridays and Saturdays,
when the University is in ses
sion, until its closing performance
on Jan. 10. It will be directed by
Robert Reifsneider, associate pro
fessor of theatre arts.
Jane, the reluctant 'debutante,
has a firm idea of the type of
man she wants for a partner
but this doesn't stop Sheila who
prowls through the London
telephone book in quest of a
faultless male trophy.
In writing his plays, Home re
jects the blase approach to humor
and picks up the molehill incon
gruities, the inescapably comic
elements, in the hu rn a n land
scape.

tant Debutante" could - have

In "Half-Term Report," his au

later years I have sometimes

impeccable young men, dancing
attendance to a crowd of downy
debutantes, would in a few hours
be hanging by their evening bra
ces from the spiky walls of Eng
land's leading universities."
