Kaplan Speaks on Tragedy... (Continued from page 1) play whoHe ending is strewn with corpse*." The single principle underly ing the sad ending lies in time according to Kaplan. He stated that time implies that some times human actions are too late and this Is the effect of tragedy. In Komeo and Juliet, everything happens too late. Time is also irreversable, he stated, "We reach the point of no return. The young man realizes that he has grown old, that he is young no more. You can’t go home again." KAPLAN asserted that it is not merely the sadness of the ending, however, which consti tutes tragedy, but the whole sad ness running through the story. We see, he said, insanity and I violent death, moral loss, lost i ideals, injustice and lust faith. He said that "Every tragedy confronts us with the realize- j lion of the worst of man which j in the tragic moment is brought j to the fore." According to Kaplan, tragedy presupposes the "existence of God, gods, fate, or destiny" and in all tragedy there Is inevita- j bility “Tragedy comes in a real- ] izatton that this is that kind of world where it had to happen like tills." HOWEVKK, Kaplan did not Senate... (Continued from fmtje 1) present a report. Dr. Nobles left the meeting before the matter was brought up. For Duck Preview Jan. 28. Sen ate will hold a special meeting at which a regular item of busi ness will be discussed. The ses sion will be attended by visiting high school seniors. IN f>TIIEK action, Senate con firmed the appointment of Judy Babich as ASUO public relations officer. The post was vacant for academic reasons. Schell announced that John Phillips and George Russill had decided not to present a motion commending the University of Georgia administration for their temperate handling of the situ ation caused by the admission of two Negro students. The Georgia administration decided Wednesday at midnight to sus pend the students "for their own safety." Letters...

Why should the intelligence of our fathers (of ourselves for that matter) be subjected to the assault of a series of mundane exhibitions of an art form which can only be realized when left to the true professional talent of such men as Dave Brubeck, Shelley Mann and Stan Getz?

Dear Editor: I’m a lit tle boy, so please don’t tell who I am because these football players are the biggest and the best and I want to be in class next week. * Slang for the Ford Founda tion. Men, In tragedy, a symbol of the futility of man's struggle as a "fly tn a spider webb," but pre sentation of the dignity and | worth of man. In contrast to i Macbeth, he said “L.ife does not signlly nothing, it signifies man's dignity." Man, according to Kap lan, is telling those powers which control him “ no matter what . . . I am a man." Tragedy incorporates the rec ognition of evil as part of human existence. He said that it takes "seriously the myth that man is both a beast and an angel.” Without both, he asserted, there Is no tragedy. KAPLAN Bald it was signifi cant that in the times when tra gedy was at its greatest, the times of Aeschylus and Sophocles in Greece and of Shakespeare in later times, men saw life as full of possibilities. To have tra gedy, he said, men must aspire to greatness, and this possibility of greatness is as significant as the possibility of defeat. It shows that we Rnow the world and the kind of people we are in it— and we will go forward in the best way we can.” Essential to tragedy, according to Kaplan, is conflict and the recognition of the existence of free will. “The tragedy is that the fool can do something and the poor s.o.b. does the wrong thing.” ALSO ESSENTIAL to tragedy is the existence of a "tragic flaw" in an otherwise great char acter, Kaplan maintained. He stated that many tragedies con sist of self revelation of char acter to the hero. “The tragedy is that the hero has a certain greatness of soul which implies a measureless capacity for suf fering. "An ordinary man would be finished too easily,” he said. Tins suffering is one of the most important aspects of tragedy.
