Albee's Compassion For Society
Shown By Play Characterizations
By BARB MARTIN
Junior Staff Writer
"A Delicate Balance." by
Edward Albee, is an out
standing drama by one of
the country's leading play
wrights, according to Dr.
William Morgan, director
of the Repertory play.1 '
The Pulitzer Prize-winning
drama opens Friday at
8 p.m. at Howell Theater.
Week-end performances will
continue until Dec. 19, al
ternating with Moliere's
"Misanthrope."
Morgan said that Albee
has received much unjusti
fied criticism about t h e
p I a y. Several reviewers
have indicated that Albee
hit a high point with "Vir
ginia Woolf" and since then
has steadily deteriorated.
LATE AND SUBTLE
The critics contend that
Albee's best play was "Vir
ginia Woolf." When he was
awarded the Pulitzer Prize
for "Delicate Balance,"
they insisted that it came a
year late and was unwar
ranted. Morgan said that
"Virginia Woolf is flam
boyant, while this play is
subtle and on a higher lev
el. The director explained

that this indicates the sar
castic detachment which is
too common in contempor
ary critics. It is too easy to
condemn a play for one line,
or even one word, Morgan
said.
Morgan added that he
considers Albee one of t lie
top three contemporary
playwrights and respects
him personally as well as
professionally.
He described "Delicate
Balance" as the best play
of the 1967 season. Albee,
the director said, shows a
great deal of compassion
for people and does an ex
cellent job of characteriza
tion. Morgan added that the
playwright's control of lan
guage is superb.
YOUNG AUTHOR
He emphasized that Alboe
is a young man and did not
begin writing until recently.
He is still learning and de
veloping h i s style, and
should not be judged as an
older, well-established au
thor, according to the direc
tor. Morgan noted that Albee's
attitude toward his contem
poraries is admirable. His
profits have been used to
subsidize an organization to
the New York Philhar
monic, the Philadelphia Or-
chestra and the Boston
Symphony Orchestra. Biggs
has ,also made several re
cordings for Columbia
Masterworks.
The organist, according
to Morgan, has toured Eur
ope and America extensive
ly and has performed be
fore capacity crowds. Mor
gan noted that Biggs has
appeared in concert with
almost every major sym
phonic organization in t h e
world.
Biggs is a native of En
gland and graduated with
highest honors from the
Royal Academy of Music.
He is n o w an American
citizen and lives in Cam
bridge, Massachusetts.

sometimes follows success.
The director explained
that "Delicate Balance" is
a mirror of today's Ameri
can society. The play con
sists of characters who have
labeled each other with no
margin for change.
When a change becomes
necessary there is no way

unity and working plan for

The drama represents so

Nebraska Football Brings
Profit To Ticket Scalpers
By SHERRY ISIcGAI FIN
Junior Staff Writer
Ardent Nebraska football
fans will do almost any
thing to see the Coinhu.sk
ers power on the playing
field and ticket scalpers on
the campus can almost
name their price and find
a willing buyer.
Conditions on the Nebras
ka campus are almost per
fect for profiteers In this
. enterprising business. Win
ning seasons, enthusiastic
supporters, and sell-out
games combine to make
black market trade success
ful. Memorial Stadium held
capacity crowds of over
65.000 for games this year,
according to Jim Pittenger,
University of Nebraska ath
letic director.
He added that scalping
and ticket exchanging "has
been brought on by the pub
lic and if the people are
willing to pay the prices
and if the students are will
ing to take the risk of be
ing caught there is nothing
that I can do."
According to the Attorn
ey General's office, there is
no state statute that prohib
its selling items above their
face value in Nebraska.
Pittenger added that there
First Snow

Lincoln and a chilly Uni
versity campus got their
first taste of cold winter
weather Thursday morning
when the first snowfall of
the year hit the county.
Rain mixed with snow
and winds gusting to 22
m.p.h. combined to cause
miserable conditions Thurs
day in Lincoln and else
where across the state.
Hazardous road warnings
were out for Nebraska, but
on campus the light taste of
snow failed to put much of
a damper on spirits riding
high for the Iowa State
game.
Athletic Director Bob De
vaney ordered the football
field covered with giant
tarpaulins reserved for the
occasion. Groundskeep
er Bill Sheppard indicated
the field would be in f i n e
shape for the game, how
ever. "
Forecasts call for no let

activity during the next two
days.
Variable amounts of rain

is nothing illegal about
ticket scalping on the cam
pus. Any student that sells
his ticket, or any student
that is admitted to a game
under false identification
runs the risk of losing his
ticket and being reported.
The comparison of stu
dent identification cards
and ticket signatures at the
gate is one way of check
ing but if both names check
nothing can be done.
Adults may not use stu
dent tickets, according to
Pittenger. He also said that
only married students may

NU Selected To Train
25 Head Start Teachers
The University of Nebras
ka has been selected for
training Project Head Start
teachers for the next year,
according to Dr. Millicent
Savery, program director.
A $177,854 federal grant
will set up four eight-week
sessions for training 25
teachers each session.
Head Star is aimed at
pre-school children from
low-income families, accord
ing to Dr. Millicent.
The program aims at
three aspects, she said:
education of the child, par
ent education and health
and social aspects.
Last summer the Univer
sity had received grants
for two eight-week sessions.
It is now one of three in
stitutions in this area off
ering Head Start training
to potential teachers and
aides.
Other programs are at
Stephens College in Missou
ri and Colorado" State Col
lege at Greeley.
"The teachers and aides
go back home to their com
munities." Dr. Savery said,
and work in the Head Start
programs.
The project is financed
through the federal govern
ment's Office of Economic
Opportunity and trainees'
tuition, books and housing
are paid, in addition to a
stipend.
The program involves dis
cussion, study, guest lec
turers and extensive read
ing. Dr. Savery said.
Trainees will also spend
about a third of their time
working with children in

A number of selling mcth
ods are use prior to game
time each week. Signs in
dormitories, fraternities and
sororities help to auction
oil tickets as well as those
persons who sell directly at
the stadium.
It is virtually impossible
to get into a game without
a ticket as more than 10U
police officials are on duty
for every home game.
The selling price for tick
ets to the Nebraska-Colorado
game was reported as
taged because of low in
