VOLUME XLIX UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE.THURSDAY, MAY 13. 1948 NUMBER 133“ You Cod, Monsieur These two eighteenth century French “social dogs” about to engage in a friendly little slapping match are William Putnam, left, and James McMullen, members of the cast of “Beggar’s Opera.” The All-Student production opened last night in the music school audi torium for a three-day run. Effective Comic Opera Includes Colorful Props By NADINE HUTCHINSON Theater-goers can be asured of an enjoyable evening at the performance of “Beggar’s Opera,” which opened last night at the music school auditorium. The production effectively com- j bined rollicking music, colorful costumes and setting, and as picturesque a cast as ever walked a stage. The University school of music presentation ably produced and directed by Herman Gelhausen had all the appearances of a professional offering. Camel Handout Slated at Co-op Some Oregon students will have a chance to “Walk a Mile for a Camel" today and tomorrow if they live at Twenty-third and Wil lamette or Thirty-first and Univer sity. The R. H. Reynolds Tobacco com pany will give away free to every student of the University a pack age of Camel cigarettes in a plas tic case bearing the initials OU for Oregon university. As part of a nationwide cam paign, Hugh V. Connelly, division manager, and several assistants will establish headquarters this morning in the Co-op store. Con nelly said that he will ask students to show their registration cards to limit each student to one package. However, there is no official con nection to the plan. He estimates that the company will give away aproximately 5,000 of the cases and packages of cig arettes at a cost of several thou sand dollars. me wear soprano rones 01 rnary Margaret Dundore, who portrayed Polly, the feminine romantic lead, suited the role to perfection. The part of MacHeath was capably filled by Wayne Sherwood, whose purposely exaggerated acting was especially effective. Virginia Walk er, as Lucy, one of the four wives of MacHeath, provided a marked contrast to Miss Dundore’s Polly, wfio also claimed MacHeath as spouse. Adding both subtle and rough house humor with jigs and sly re marks were William Putnam as the jailer, Lockit, and James McMul len, Polly’s father. Robert Fulton, James Kays, Treva Rice and Jean Lichty succeeded in maintaining the high calibre of the acting throughout. The opera, written by John Gay in the early eighteenth century is a lively satire of the political situa tion existing in the England of that period. The conditions which en gendered the satire have passed but the entertainment value re mains undiminished. The statement “politics are ephemeral but art en dures,” could no better be illus trated than in this vigorous pro duction.

Wieman, visiting professor of religion, will conclude the spring term University lecture series tonight at 8 in room 207 Chapman hall. Dr. Wieman’s sub ject will be “The Moral Directive in History.” Professor of the philosopy of re ligion at the University of Chicago, Dr. Wieman, is teaching two cours es here this term: Philosophy of Religion and The Contemporary Crisis of Civilization. For several years Dr. Wieman has been studying the destructive factors inherent in modern civili zation. Dr. Wieman has said that in the past man did not have the power to throw things out of balance, but today with his control over nature and his methods of regimentation, the possibilities of perverting the direction of human growth are ap palling. Hence, the need to keep the best that man builds, even the best of which man dreams, under the criticism that comes from God who transcends man. Dr. Wieman, Author Among Dr. Wieman’s books, in which the problems of religious in quiry and scientific method are ex plored, are: “The Wrestle of Relig ion With Truth,” “Normative Psy chology of Religion,” “American Philosophies of Religion,” “The Source of Human Good,” “The Is sues of Life” and “Now We Must Choose.” Tonight’s lecture will conclude a series of three lectures given by Dr. Wieman, the first two being, “The Predicament of Religious In quiry,” and “The Source of Human Good.” Stassen to Talk In Eugene Soon Harold Stassen, presidential as pirant, has been invited by the Lane county Stassen for President club to speak in Eugene this week end.
