Jack-of-AII-Trades Technician
Comes to Drama Department
By PAT KING
“A technical director has to he a little bit of everything . . . .
designer, plumber, painter, carpenter, and have a passing ac
quaintance with every type of structure used by the human
race," summarized Gilbert M. \\ illiams, new technical diiectoi
for the drama department.
The amiable Williams is a dark, mustached young man who
came to Oregon after tour years
at Yale, where he majored in
technical production and direction
and received his master of fine arts
ir. drama in 1947. He moved into
his office in the drama cottage after
a six day trip across country in a
Pontiac bulging with a trunk,
books, and personal belongings.
Ingenuity Demanded
“The stage crew and technical
director must be able to produce
anything the playwright may de
mand which means we do a lot of
work with papier mache,” he con
tinued, toying with a set of new
drills he had just purchased. Some
of the things he as produced upon
demand for plays have been a soda
fountain, a fire engine that ran,
water pumps, and a firing cannon.
Williams gained a first rate
course in bacteriology while doing
special research for the play “Yel
low Jack,” the story of science con
quering the yellow jack fever. Any
incongruity such as using a modern
microscope in the play that had not
been invented at the time bothers
he audience a great deal, he said.
Theater Designer
After obtaining a bachelor of
fine arts from the University of
Arizona in 1040, Williams went
into the army where he helped plan
the army outdoor theater. He has
done a great deal of work in plan
ning new theaters and has just re
cently designed the new theater for
Wellsley college.
Aside from his degrees, he also
graduated from the Columbia
Broadcasting system’s radio school
in 1939 and worked on continuity
writing and production. At the mo
ment he is writing a series of ar
ticles on theater architecture for
Billboard, a theatrical publication.
As a note to Homecoming decor
ators who would like to borrow
properties from the department,
Williams said, “We have nothing to
give them but advice and good
wishes.”
Marine 'Salmon Feed'
Former marines, their wives,
and friends have been extended an
invitation to the marine corps
league annual “Salmon Feed” at
the armory at 7 p.m. Monday. En
tertainment is being planned. There
is no charge.
Lutherans Plan
Meet Sunday
Lutheran students will hold their
first organized meeting on the
campus Sunday at 5:30 p.m. at
Miss Trudy Rogness, newly ap
pointed counselor for Lutheran stu
dents.
their new headquarters in the
YWCA, according to the newly ap
pointed counselor Miss Trudy Rog
ness.
Rev. Sterling Simmonson,
Springfield, has been scheduled to
speak on “Faith.” Worship chair
man Byron Brende has announced
that there will be a singing and
recreational hour and that supper
will be served. Additional enter
tainment will be supplied by a girls’
trio consisting of Genevieve Young
quist, Janet' Kelsey, and Dorothy
Skilbred.
“At the present time we are pio
neering with a Lutheran student
club at Oregon, but we have hopes
of a fine organization by the end
of the term,” Miss Rogness dis
closed.
She is a graduate of Augustana
college, Sioux Falls, South Dakota,
and did graduate work at Univer
sity of Minnesota, the Union Theo
logical seminary and the Sacred
School of Music in New York.
