Opens UO
Religious Week
University students and towns
people gathered in Mac court Sunday
evening to take part in the opening
services of Religious Evaluation
week.

Cullough of the First Presbyterian
church of Tacoma. Dr. McCullough
expressed the view that “most people
find that playing the game of life is
as confusing as playing football
without knowing where the goal
posts are.”
Sharing the program with Dr-. Mc
Cullough were the Eugene Gleemen,
who sang two numbers—“Let Their
Celestial Concerts all Unite,” and
“Hymn to the Madonna”—the lat
ter with James Kays as soloist. Mr.
Kays has one of the widest voice
ranges in the country.

answer to the predicament of mod
ern man amidst the break-down of
western culture.” -

University Theater to Present
'Petrified Forest' October 22
By MARGE SCANDLING
“Frequently strange but always I
likable” was the opinion of a New |
York drama critic when reviewing
the first night production of “The
Petrified Forest” after its success-1
ful Broadway opening in January,
1935. The University theater’s ver
sion of the two-act play begins an
eight-day run on October 22.
When the critic said “strange”
he may have been referring to the
assortment of personalities seen in
the play. A fellow critic described
the main characters as “a defeated
novelist at the end cf his rope, a
frustrated desert-maid, and an in
articulate man-killer, sort of a Dil
linger of the wastelands.”
Gas Station Setting
Or the critic could easily have
been referring to the setting it
self, a lunchroom-gas station lo
cateed near the Arizona desert.
Strange also is the play’s plot as it
sees the varied personalities clash
throughout the full two acts. Even
nature plays the role as the de
pressing effects of the nearhy pet
rified forest with its impossible dry
desolateness are seen on the char
acters.
Varied Characters
But, as the critic said, the play
is a likable one, largely due to
Author Robert Sherwood’s deft
touches at character shaping.
Gramp Maple, the old-timer who
can’t forget a brief encounter with
Billy the Kid he once had; Boze
Hertzlinger, the football player
who can’t seem to put his college
education to work; Duke Man tee,
the burly killer who limits himself
to growling, “I wouldn’t know,
pal,” and others show the Sher
woodian touch.
Horace Robinson is directing the
play. Season tickets for the Uni
versity theater’s full schedule of
six plays are now on sale in the
drama studio in back of Johnson
hall.
Freshmen Retain UO Tradition,
Sport Rooters Lids at Grid Meet
The wearing o’ the green and
yellow rooters lids has long been
a traditional part of Oregon’s
Homecoming. For over 30 years
freshmen men have rigidly adher
ed to the custom, prompted by the
paddles of the Order of the O.
Official lids were first adopted
by the student council in 1918. An
Emerald of that year explains the
necessity for uniformity “in shade,
shape, and size to combat the in
congruity of last year’s caps.”
The article described the lids to
be of “substantial material, with
a two-inch wide lemon yellow band
around a dark green crown. A
small green block “O” is attached
to the band and a lemon yellow
tassel adorns the top.”
Despite tradition, however, in
novations in the custom occas
ionally creep in. Not only have
the men’s caps changed in appear
ance, but this year has seen the
introduction of special women’s
rooters lids.
Another major change occured

“Since the student rooting sec

Yates, “the papers may serve a
double purpose in the event of
rain.”
in 1918 when, after solemn delib
eration, the student council de
creed that “freshmen will not have
to wear green caps when in full
military uniform.”
But the council further voted to
discourage the wearing of uni
forms other than at the drill hour.
According to an. Emerald story,
the exception was forced by the
“uncooperative attitude of the mil
itary department” toward the root
ers caps.
And 1948, like every past home
coming, will find the Oregon fresh
men clad in their lids . . . except
when they are wearing their ROTC
uniforms.
The men of Troy have scored 366
points in their 14 Oregon games,
while the Webfoots have tallied
only 82 points.
