Fete Mothers New Heads Appointed Shimshak, Foster Named Chairmen Of New Committees Jack Shimshak, business ad ministration junior, was named promotion head, and Norman Foster, journalism sophomore, hospitality chairman of Mothers’ Weekend, May 10-12, by Majeane Glover, general chairman of the affair.

Present plans for the weekend call for this tour to take place Saturday afternoon, May 11.

Blythe, coach of the University of Oregon’s rifle teams, gives a few pointers to his star pupil, Tom Taylor, who made the highest score in the ninth corps area in small bore rifle competition. Guild Hall Players Score Hit in 'Idiot’s Delight’ as Helene Parsons, Smith Star God sat “up there” playing solitaire (idiot’s delight). And down below nations were being bombed- and Irene (Helene Parsons) and Harry Van (Gerry Smith) sang “Onward Christian Soldiers” while debris fell about them. Thus did Robert Sherwood end his biting denouncement of war, “Idiot’s Deliaht.” Dresented to a first nieht audience last nierht. Rather slow starting because of the many characters to introduce, the Pulitzer prize play comes to a stunning climax in a period of dead silence following the fiery outburst of Quillery (Jerry Lake fish) denouncing the Italians for bombing Paris. Apropos to the times is this play for, as one member of the audience put it, it is almost what is happening today. While the play revolves around the romance of Irene and Harry, much of the background and thought behind the course of the plot came from the little Com munist (Jerry Lakefish) whose determination to put into words what the rest of the characters were thinking led him to his death. Interjected at just the right times to relieve that “sunk” feel ing one gets at moments (such as early this week) when wars are declared and cities are being devastated was the comedy relief of chorines. Tops in this depart ment was the “Korn-Fed Katie From Kokomo” routine with Pat Taylor in the “starring” role and Gerry Smith, Trudy Harland, and Donna Row. This was written by Wilfred Roadman and Gerry Smith. Trudi also sang another catch tune written by Roadman. Other comedy relief was furnished by Adrian Martin as the nervous Pittaluga. So realistic were the sound ef fects that at first the air raid warnings gave rise to specula tion as to where the accident or fire might be. Coming unexpect edly, the actual raid found many slightly upset for a minute. Regardless of whether or not the last bit of paint was dry when the curtain went up, the pains taking care Horace Robinson and members of the drama depart ment took with the set in deep blues and reds and white drew appreciative reactions from the audience. Others in the cast include: Jiro Davidson, Jim Bronson, David Manning, Adrian Martin, Ray Dickson, Parker McNeil, Dick Clark, Bettie Jane Quigley, Ger ald T. Smith, Trudy Harland, Donna Row, Jeanette Harbert, Betty Fiksdal, Pat Taylor, Ken neth Boyle, Ed Row, Jeiry Lake fish, Helene Parsons, James Par sons.
