Old Oregon Seeks AidForAlumnNews Pertinent facts about any of the 300 alums that returned to the campus last weekend are needed for the next publication of Old Oregon, alumni magazine, accord ing to Editor Bert Moore. Heads of living organizations should see that news of marriages, new jobs, changed residences, or any interesting notes of alumni that visited their houses during Homecoming are submitted to the Old Oregon office immediately. The information will be used in the “News of the Classes’ feature of the magazine. One good method to prevent that inevitable snap of the strings in a tennis racquet is to cover the bow of the racquet with adhehive tape. Real Chicken! This Is One Play We Wish We Were Acting In By PAT KING When you see the cast’s individ ual mouths begin to water in an eating scene in “Playboy of the Western World” you can chalk up this added effect of realism to the prop managers Beverly Zamsky and Grace Hoffman who will sup ' ply a full chicken dinner for each performance. The play, second in the Univer sity theater series will be presented Dec. 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, and 11. “I have never seen a play where people eat so much,” commented Gilbert Williams, technical direc tor of the play. But a chicken din ner is the least of the problems of the stage crew. Scene Irish Tavern Currently they are adapting an old ceiling into a slanted one with beams across it. The one set of the play will represent an Irish tavern-store in a poor section of town in western Ireland. Very little faking will be used for the set or the props. A real plank door, a churn, an Irish cup board. A sawdust base for paint, is being used to give the walls the rough plastered effect of an Irish tavern, a Actors on Crew The crew itself is illustrating the old adage, “Turn about is fair play.” A lead in the last play, Ma rie DiLoreto is assistant now to electrician Maurice Leighton. Charles Boice exchanged his make up for the white overalls of a paint er, assisted by Muriel Rappapart. Former actor James Sorum is new stage manager with Pat Welch helping him. Turning from their former worry of where to locate an Egyptian mummy case for the last play, the crew is now in a frenzied search for a set of Irish bagpipes, stone mugs, and Irish brooms that have to be “just right.” ““Do you know of'anybody who wants a. slightly used mummy case?” queried Williams.
