Three pans of ham loaf and scap loped potatoes intended for Tues day night’s dinner went up in smoke, when grease in the bottom of the kitchen stove caught fire. It filled the Delta Gamma house with “lots of smoke and excitement.” Instead of the ham and potatoes, the Delta Gammas dined on left over Thanksgiving turkey that night. Not only was the turkey seen and eaten but the Thanksgiving spirit also prevailed. Firemen disclosed that, if the fire had not been ex tinguished, the blistering linoleum would have ignited.

[ __ _I Sparkling Irish Wit Enhances First Perfomance of 'Playboy' By LE JEUNE GRIFFITH University theatergoers got their first taste of Irish drama with the Greater Drama Series presentation Wednesday night of J. M. Synge’s “Playboy of the Western World.” Under the direction of Mrs. Ottilie T. Seybolt, the play was a pleasant and interesting addition to the theater season. Sparked with Irish wit and dia logue, the play concerns the at tempts of a young Irishman, Chris ty (Bob Over), to gain notoriety and get attention from the women by boasting of having killed his father with a single blow. Over’s i bravado and skillful makeup made him an excellent Christy. Glenna Hurst as Pegeen turned in a consistently good performance as the fiery Irish lass with the j sharp tongue. Allen West as Shawn gave a con vincing portrayal as the frightened, God-fearing boy. Ted Schultz as Old Mahon, Christy’s father, and Emily Jackull as the Widow Quin deserve mention for their charac terizations. i The play started slowly, and was bogged down through a good share of the first act. It began to pick up with the entrance of the village girls and the first long scene be tween Christy and Pegeen. At times, much of the sense of the play was lost because the per formers were not understandable through their Irish accents. Con siderable humor in the play was (Please turn to page three) Flu-Bitten Author Shocked by PJs By LARRY LAX’ A few days ago I picked up my annual (always near finals) dose of flu and spent a few dozen hours in the University infirmary. Every thing was fine . . except for the pajamas. Where the sam hill do they get those pajamas anyhow? The tops were bad enough but the bottoms were impossible. They had neither buttons, zippers nor drawstrings. Bottoms Unstable It was nerve-wracking. A ter rifying sensation . . . you never knew when the bottom was going to drop out of things. On my way out after being re leased I dropped in to say hello to two other flued-in victims, Phyl lis Potter and Janet Hicks—they were having trouble too. Only Two Sizes Miss Potter is artfully spread out over 5’9". Her pj's wouldn’t have fit Little Orphan Anne . . . She stuck one foot out from under the covers to show me where the legs hit her at the knees. Miss Hicks, who is a petite 5’2”, had on a pair she could have com fortably shared with her sister, Helen. She and Miss Potter should have switched right from the start. There was so much pajama left over it was hard to tell where Janet began. New, New Look The legs were so low it looked as if she were wearing sleepers. She donned one of the infirmary’s beautiful maroon (US Medical Department., USN) robes and it dragged a foot lower than a “new look” skirt. How women can manage to look cute in such outfits beats me. On the other hand, what is to ludi crous as a pair of hairy male legs sticking out of knee length pajama trousers? As far is I could see they have at least four doctors now. The gen tleman that looked after me and assured me (after a frightening delay) that I was going to live, was a soft-spoken Southerner who told me all sorts of fascinating things about my blood. He told me (Please turn la page three) Pianist Recalled By Enthusiastic Music Lovers Classical Numbers Plus Contemporary Playing Acclaimed See program page 8 E. Robert Schmitz, pianist, will appear tonight at McArthur couit. beginning at 8:15 p.m. His conceit, is being sponsored by the Eugene civic music association and is the fourth, in the 1947-4S concert se ries. The pianist was enthusiastically received in Eugene in 1944 and will be giving his second concert for a Eugene audience tonight, G. E. Gaylord, president of the associa tion said. Although Schmitz is especially well-known for his interpretations of modern music, he has received acclaim in his studies of Bach and Chopin. Recorded Debussy Long association with Debussy has given Schmitz's performance of his music a beauty and authen ticity. A close friend of the com poser, he is now making 90 rec ords of Debussy’s works for Vic tor. He possesses two books of Freludes corrected personally by Debussy. He also has manuscripts by Ravel, Milhaud, and other mod ern composers. Interested in contemporary music Schmitz founded Pro-Musica Inc., an organization devoted to promot ing the works of living composers. He also has held master sessions for teachers of music in this coun try for a number of years. Formed Council The Schmitz council of teacher-!, formed for teachers trained by tbo pianist, has stressed the progres sive method of teaching. He em phasizes science in his teaching methods and has written several books on the subject. Schmitz did experimental work in sound production with the in ventor Thomas A. Edison. He called on Edison one day while the in ventor was listening to a. young gi tl play in connection with his experi ments. At tiie end of each piece, the inventor would nod his head in, dissatisfaction until Schmitz quiet ly replaced her and began playing selections of Debussy. Worked With Edison So pleased by his perfromanee, Edison invited Schmitz to his house where the pianist played over and over again to help the inventor with his sound production experi ments. Tonight's concert is open to all students and members of the Eu gene Civic Music association. Doors will open at 7:30 p.m. Bible Study Planned The Intervarsity Christian fel lowship will conduct its regular weekly Bible studies from 8 to 8:50 a.m. in the men’s lounge of Ger linger hall and in the committee room of the University YMOA. from 11 to 11:50 today.
