When Gen Ed A was instituted, the founders felt that all incoming students--no matter what their writing ability--could profit from a course in composition. The faculty's present attitude is one of preserving the original aims of the course--the development of coherent, lucid exposition--while recognizing that this objective may be obtained by several methods...
Lewis Lehman's staging in the intimate scenes is frequently static, (in the first scene, for instance, he has Mr. Lurtsema rooted to an armchair for what seems an eternity) but his crowd scenes are nicely handled. And his interpretation of the play is lucid and valid. Cherie Hughes has some very nice lighting effects, but the set, such as it was, could have stood a bit more imagination and atmosphere...

Their down-to-earth approach is reflected in their art: painting includes recognizable images, sculpture often mirrors the human form, prose and poetry tend to be lucid, coherent and direct. Few have qualms about accepting commercial commissions. Cracked one sculptor: "For a thousand dollars I'll do a head of grandma -guaranteed to look just like grandma!" Wives for Models. Typical of Rome's new expatriates is Detroit-born Zubel Kachadoorian, 35, who formerly worked part...
