Dramatics Council, State University of New York at Albany, will raise
the curtain on its 1968-69 theatre season Saturday evening, October 12, with
a one-night performance of ''America Hurrah" at 8:30 in Page Hall. A
national touring company will present the evening of three one-act plays
by Jean Claude van Itallie.
The plays, ‘Interview, "' "TV", and 'Motel" reflect with humor and
perception certain aspects of contemporary American society. ' America
Hurrah" played New York's Pocket Theatre for 18 months and in London for
eight weeks, The controversial satire has met with unanimous plaudits from
critics on both sides of the Atlantic.
Mr. van Itallie was born in Brussels and graduated from Harvard
University, He believes that ''most of the theatre... serves the system (of
man's structured world) as a handmaiden, It feeds back to those who can
afford it the facile illusions that they need to perpetuate their idea of the
world,"
Tickets for ''America Hurrah" are available at the State University
Theatre box office in the Campus Center week days from 10 a.m. to 4p.m.
All seats are reserved and are priced at $1.50. The box office may be
reached by calling 457-6926 or 457-6927.

the Japanese Minister of Education, has elected to spend the 1968-69 academic year

of the program,
Professors Kikuchi and Gordon have conducted collaborative cross-cultural
research for the past five years, the results of which have been reported in individuall;
and jointly authored articles in American, Japanese and Indian professional journals.
The outcome of their joint efforts has included the development of a methodology for
clustering nations on the basis of their dominant value systems which is in current use
by several research institutes throughout the world, the development of professional
guidelines for preparing translations of personality tests for use in different cultures,
and a battery of psychological tests which is in wide current use in Japan.

Art Gallery of State University of New York at Albany. The major exhibition will

of the rural countryside of his childhood. The Cloar exhibit will contain 43 paintings--
many of them loans from private collections. The Alan-Landau Gallery in New York
also will be a lender to the exhibition.
The work of the art faculty of Skidmore College will be shown in the gallery

by the American Federation of Arts and entitled "The Articulate Subconscious,"
The 45 works to be shown concentrate on the artist's need to express his view of the
world around him in a personal manner that supercedes any consideration of
current international styles. Balthus, Ensor, Linder, and Westermann are included
among the artists in ''The Articulate Sub conscious."
The gallery lounge will also be used during the coming exhibition period to
show the drawings and ceramics of Bette Saiberlich. Miss Saiberlich, a native of

"The Skin of Our Teeth," directed by Martin Mann, is in rehearsal
for performances on November 6-9, at Page Hall, on the downtown campus of
State University of New York at Albany. The first production of the 1968-69
season by State University Theatre is Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer Prize-winning
play which opened on Broadway on 1942,
The drama is a fantastic tour de force. Avoiding false heroics and using a
seemingly facetious approach to both the theatre and the subject matter, Wilder
attempts to tell the present by confusing it with the past.
All humanity is the hero, personified in the figure of George Antrobus. He
is Adam, Noah, in fact every great hero of humanity. He invents the wheel and
the alphabet, lives through the Fall, the Flood and various wars, the Ice Age and
countless other castastrophes, and yet his life struggles on. The Antrobus family
is living both in prehistoric times and in a New Jersey commuters' suburb today.
Events of Wemele daily family life are depicted against the vast dimensions of
time, space, and impending disaster, Man will survive, says Wilder, by the
proverbial skin of his teeth, but why does he always operate with so narrow a
margin? The style of ''The Skin of Our Teeth" is light and satirical, and the
profound meaning is only latent.
In the cast are many students from the Capital District. They are
