Veteran UO Thespians To Present Opening Dramatic Production Such veterans of the University theater as Louise Clouston, Cliff James, Lewis Vogler, and Norman Weekly will take lead rols in the forthcoming version of “The Petrified Forest”, now in rehearsal for production on October 22, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, and 30. An unusually varied cast of characters is a feature cf the Robert Sherwood play. Louise Clouston will play the half-French Gabby Maple who hangs out at the Black Mesa Bar B-Q. Gabby, the daughter of a French mother, dreams of going to Paris, a far cry from the sordid, unimaginative Black Mesa locale. Truth-Seeking Hero Alan Squire, the truth-seeking hero of the play, will be played by Lewis Vogler. Alan is a has-been writer who is now a wandered. The consequence of his happening into the Black Mesa and meeting Gabby form much of the play’s action. Norman Weekly has drawn the Duke Mantee gangster role which is said to have given Humphrey Bo gart his start. Mante is a soft spoken killer who supplies suspense and excitement, particularly in the second act when he provides im petus for a first-class shooting fray. Boze Hertzlinger, a former col lege football star who seems to be unable to do anything with his edu cation and is therefore a gas-station attendant, is to be played by Cliff James. Gabby’s father, Jason Maple, will be played by Charles Boice. Maple, shallow and of little character, is best described as a third-rate Babbitt. Assortment of People “Part of the interest in this play is in tl:e assortment of people rep resenting different elements of so ciety and what happens when they tangle,” according to William E. Schlosser, technical director of the play. Other member? of the “Petrified Forest” cast will be Rad Bealey as Herb; Peggy Randall as Mrs. Chis holf; Marvin W.

McKay Expresses Need Of Youth Political Interest By BETTY LAGOMARSINO Political interest and activity on the part of American youth is necessary in onr type of government, Douglas McKay, Republican gubernatorial candidate, told the Young Republicans meeting yesterday. Two alive, vital, and competitive parties are a fundamental part of United States government, he explained, and this healthy spirit comes directly from the young people. “Politics shouldn’t be looked upon with disfavor,” he continued, “af ter home and religion, they are the most important item in our lives. In fact, home and religion are in DOUGLAS McKAY Dart dependent on the kind of gov ernment in power.” Because the American govern ment is founded on the Christian principle of government of men, equal opportunity, and private en erprise, McKay pointed out that ‘we have created the richest nation n the world—and the one with the videst distribution of wealth.” Certainly our government is not lerfect, the Republican candidate eoncluded, and we must be con stantly alert to make improve ments—but the fundamental prin liples must not change. Answering a question from the door as to his opinion of the Gov :rnor Hall—liquor commission sit uation, McKay told the group that light is a well established tradition in the campus. Students are urged :o take this opportunity to make lew friends and become familiar vith the religious group of their choice. if he knew "only what he read in the papers.” However, repeating his ignorance of the affair, he voiced his belief in the "first principle of business—that an appointed execu tive should have authority as well as responsibility. We must give people an opportunity to carry out their job.” Asked for his stand on “opening Oregon up to liquor across the bar”, McKay said that he was on record against it. He said that the present system is the best compromise be tween being "wide-open” or pro hibitionist. “The question is one to be decided by the Oregon voters,” he added, “there are three unan swerable questions in the legisla ture—whiskey, milk, and fish.” Queried on the state highway pro gram, he spoke for speeding up the present 25 year program. “You pay for the roads whether you get them or not,” he said, “the cash paid out for wear and tear on your cars from poor roads would' more than pay for improved highways.” After McKays address, the Young Republicans discussed plans for 30P vice-presidential candidate Sari Warren’s October 15 visit to Sugene. Clay Meyers, president of the lampus GOP group, set Thursday, September 7, for the next meeting it 6 p.m. in 207 Chapman. WANTED: PIANO MAN experienced in sail group work.
