NO REST . . .
Rest is never in order for these members of the University theater guild. As soon as work oil one pro
duction is completed, preparations for another is begun. Preparations are now being made for “Green
Pastures” to appear April 19„ their forthcoming production.
'Green Pastures' Drama to Feature
Many Angel Wings, Colorful Scenes
Color, color, and more color!
That is the theme for costumes for
the Pulitzer prize play, “The
Green Pastures,” which is slated
for McArthur court April 19 under
the direction of Horace W. Robin
son.
Even the angels in the Heavenly
scenes do not escape the vivid
colors. Though their basic cos
tumes are white, their accessories
can hardly be described as any
thing less than extra gay.
The angels’ wings were a prob
lem. Marilyn Wherry, in charge of
I costuming the players, and Pat
Lane consulted on the task, and
came up with the following solu
tion. -KieJd’ings were made of cor
rugated cardboard with news
papers stuffed in between two
sheets. This form was then cov
ered with pieces of tissue paper
cut into feather-like strips.
Seven pairs of grown wings in
various stages of growth—it must
be remembered that in Heaven
newcomers start out with small
wings—and 10 pairs of cherub
wings have been constructed.
In addition to the Heavenly cos
tumes, there are colorful scenes in
Pharoah’s court and a Babylonian
night club. The court resembles
a lodge hall, and long robes with
mystic symbols and fabulous head
dresses are the requirement. Magi
cians and wizards in robes with
brilliantly lined sleeves and wear
ing turbans of peaked hats will be
seen.
The Babylonian night club scene
is that of a modern masquerade
ball complete with gaudy cos
tumes. The King of Babylon ap
pears as a “zooty” number dressed
in top hat, tails, and' ermine lapels.
Ingenuity necessary in thinking
up costumes for the play is attri
buted to the costume department
and individual cast members.

Another candidate entered the

yesterday. Seated in the back seat
of a shiny black convertible, wear
ing a familiar rooters lid atop her
tresses, and glancing regally at
the members of the University
student body, she toured the

A new fashion note was the keg

Cave Resort Seeks
U 0 Student Help
Fascinating as well as a remun
erative”—that is work at the Ore
gon Caves resort, according to
Caves employers who are interested
in hiring University of Oregon stu
dent help for the summer season.
Student guides explore the myste
rious caverns in the "marble of
mountain” and other positions offer
1 an opportunity for students to meet
the public as well as prospective
| employers.
j The Caves are located in the heart
of the Siskiyou mountains, 4,000
feet elevation, 50 miles from Grants
Pass, and are well-known as one of
Oregon’s most popular summer re
sorts.
Students interested in working at
the Caves this summer will be in
terviewed by J. Christiansen, acting
resort manager, at the University
employment office from 9:30 a.m.
to 4 p.m. today. Positions are open
for guides, bag boys, station wagon
drivers, waitresses, kitchen help,
chambermaids, souvenir shop
clerks, etc. Students with musical
or other entertainment ability are
particularly wanted.
University employment officials,
commenting on employment at
Oregon resorts, have noted that stu

Voting to Name
Queen, Royalty
ASUO Cards Needed
For Co-op Votes Today
The 1947 queen who will reign
over all festivities of Junior Week
end will be chosen today between
9 and 4:45. The voting polls will
open this morning with the Uni
versity Co-op doors, and students
may cast ballots at any time in
the Co-op during the day.
All members of the committee
to count Junior Weekend votes
are asked to be at the Co-op by
4:30, Miss Niedermeyer said yes
terday.
A new twist has been added to
the voting for queen this year, for
each student will cast only one
vote—for queen—instead of mark
ing the ballots for queen and the
entire court. Joyce Niedermeyer,
coronation committee chairman,
stated, when explaining the 1947
balloting, that this would elimin
ate much confusion in the vote
counting, and will still guarantee
the offices to the girls who receive
the most votes.
Student Cards Needed
Student body cards must be
presented at the time of voting,
Barbvra Johns, election head, an
nounced yesterday, and the tickets
will be punched at that time to
insure legal voting. The winners
will be announced in Thursday’s
Emerald.

Taste for Art
By VIRGINIA THOMPSON
“Sincerely flattered’’ is sculptor
Mark R. Sponenburgh, whose ex
hibit in the Little Art Gallery this
month evoked in yesterday’s
Emerald a suggestion from two
students that he be commissioned
to design and execute some sculp
tural monument to the Univer
sity.
Embarrassed at first, the sculp
tor in an interview yesterday was
warmly appreciative of the senti
ment of the students. “Comment
like this from a student is the
highest praise I can look for,” he
declared. “It encourages me to
realize from this that people are
coming to an appreciation of
sculpture with understanding and
| not affectation.”
! Hope for Sculpture Program
] That this might be the begin
j ning of a long-term program of
sculpture for the University was
the hope expressed by Dean S. W.
Little of the school of architec
ture and allied arts.
In a statement offered yester
day, Dean Little said, “The school
of architecture will consider exist
ing situations wherein the archi
tecture students will make
sketches and models of buildings
and areas that require sculpture.
The sculpture majors will collabor
ate with the architects on site
problems and discuss scale and
color, recommend materials, and
so on. Then the two groups will
present completed proposals and
scale models as part of their regu
lar academic work.
“The school of architecture furth
er hopes that actual pieces of
sculpture can be executed and in
stalled and that the first stages of
this program may soon be evident
on the University campus.”
