    Male Threesome Stars
In Theater's Comedy
Three university taculty mem
ber.') again proved that they are
versatile as well as fast-talking
last night at the Very Little The
ater, where they took leading
parts in the current comedy, Fer
enc Molnar’s “The Guardsman."
This entertaining trio includes
Marvin Krenk, instructor in
speech, who has the title role;
Saverina Graziano Smith, instruc
tor in art, who plays the wife of
the guardman; and Elvin Over
tor, visiting professor of law, as
Bernhard, the critic. K he.uk
played the part of a jealous ac
tor, who sets a trap to prove his
wife's lack of faithfulness, only
to find himself laughably caught
in his own snare.
Krs. Smith and Overton con
tribute charm and contrast to
Krenk's more lively portrayal.
Others in the cast, with ample
opportunity for the broader as
pects of comedy—which they
make the most of—are Gretchen
Parker, Sylvia Cuthbert, and
Kenneth Griffith.

Calls Flyers
Students yearning to become
bird-men by way of the civilian
pilot training course, either this
summer or next fall, are urged
to make application at 108 Con
don hall as soon as possible, it
was announced Thursday by J. C.
Stovall. CPT coordinator.
‘•We are anxious to compile
our list of students for the sum
mer program within the next few
weeks,” Mr. Stovall explained.
Both ground school and flight
training will be given at Klamath
Falls this summer with both room
and board, under the present plan,
furnished by the flight operator,
Louis Soukup.
New Location
Klamqth Falls has replaced the
Eugene airport for flying due to
its location outside the restricted
flying zone. Both primary and
secondary courses are being of
fered.
Main change in CPT require
ments is the lowering of age lim
its to include those in the 18
year-old group.
The near 60 students now en
rolled in CPT classes are expect
ed to leave for Klamath Falls for
actual air training soon after the
first of May when ground school
examinations are completeed.
Mr. Stovall emphasized that
applications for fall term must
be in this spring because men
will be contacted during the sum
mer concerning the course and
classes will begin immediately af
ter school starts.

prisoners and Frenchmen for la
bor in Nazi war factories?
Laval's statement expected mo
mentarily will offer a clue to
these two vital questions. Paris
newspapers are conducting a vio
lent attack against the United
States ambassador Admiral
Leahy and an open break with
the French government seems
imminent. Apparently the British
have felt so for some time be
cause they have been conducting
heavy raids against industries
deep behind the borders.
As a result of the return of La
val a fresh wave of terrorism has
been unleashed by Frenchmen
against the Nazis. Two anti-Ger
man attacks were carried out in
Paris shortly after Laval’s de
parture from that city. The sab
oteurs wrecked a troop-carrying
train killing approximately 40
persons.
Laval will follow his formula of
collaboration as far as the dom
inated French will allow him and
qnless the native resistance is
great we can expect Germany to
achieve her two highly desired
needs; the fleet, and the labor.
However, they might take a
look at our expanding submarine
force. The house of representa
tives passed another huge appro
priation for approximately 100
