Frosh Garlic GlamourGal
Gets War Blame, Likes It
“I’m the ‘glamour girl of the garlic age!’” laughed Phyllis
Kiste, freshman in English, soon to appear at Guild hall as
the mysterious Helen of Troy in “The Trojan Women.”
“She’s such a hypocrite, proud and very beautiful, the only
Greek among all those Trojan women, and they blame her for
the war. It’s fun to pretend you
caused all that trouble!”
Phyllis is having her first real
fling in drama, although she was
in the production class at Frank
lin high where she was also feature
and sports editor of the Franklin
High Post. She graduated from
Franklin in '44 and worked for
eight months in civil service for
the navy. She entered the Univer
sity in September on an Oregon
Mothers’ scholarship.
No Greek Gods Now
The play is very interesting to
her, Phyllis says, especially since
she is learing a lot about history
and Greek gods and goddesses.
There’s always some fun, too,
“First we thought I should come on
stage singing “The Last Time I
Saw Paris,” but Mrs. Seybolt didn’t
think it quite appropriate. It's
stil my theme song.”
Best of all she likes the fact that
after Menalaus takes Helen home
a captive, intending to kill her,
she gets the best of him after all.
“This day and age things are dif
ferent,” Phyllis said in mock sad
ness.

by anything I did,” Hubert W.

an interview Monday afternoon
through the grilled door of the
Lane county jail. He is being held
under $5000 bail on a complaint
from District Attorney William S.
Ford charging him with lewd ex

the University campus. Callaway,
a truck driver for a local cream

appeared before Justice Howard
M. Brownell, on a complaint
signed by Fort charging him with
indecent exposure. Judge Brownell
set a higher bail and granted Cal
laway time to consult an attorney
until Tuesday, when the case will
be continued. The charge placed
against Calalway carries a penalty
of three months to one year or $50
to $500 fine if the defendant is
convicted.
Callaway’s arrest was preceded
by numerous reports to the police
department of girls or young wom
en being molested in the vicinity
of the campus., Friday night a
woman reported a car containing
a nude man parked at the Amazon
bridge on South Willamette street.
