VOLUME LJ UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14,1950 NUMBER 80 Production Scheduled In March “The Warrior’s Husband,” a three-act comedy will be the next production of the University Theater. The Julnie Thompson play is scheduled to open for a six-day run March 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, and 11. It is directed by Horace W. Robinson. The play is based on the theory that a woman should throw her principles away without regret whenever she falls in love. Satirical Play ** To get over the idea, the play satirizes the ledgendary Amazons, the labors of Hercules, and Tro jan War with side glances at the nature of man and woman and their reputed tendencies to fall in love with each other despite their dignified pretenses. Leading roles will be played by Pat Boyle and Jo De Lap, double cast as Antiope. The other fem inine lead will double cast Tru Vosberg and Evelyn Snow as Hip polyta, the Amazon queen. Erickson Male Lead The male cast will be headed by Gordon Erickson as the “feminine by training, but in no sense effem inite” Sapiens. Sharing the bill ing with Erickson will be Norm Weekly as Thesens the handsome young Greek. The genial but cowardly giant Hercules will be played by Paul Wexler. Other supporting roles will be portrayed by Robert Nelson as Homer, John Lehman as Sap ien's father, Ruth Kilbourn as Pomposia, Virginia Howard as Caustica, and Clare Wiley as Her oica. Use Three Sets Betty Jo Clack, Ann Thompson, Beverly Ostrum, Martha Jane Wal ters, Pat Botts, Dale Smith, Mary Lou Bittman, and John Ogle also will be in the cast. The play will utilize three sets, to be constructed by the stage crewr "binder the direction of technical director William E. Schlosser. You, Too, Can ... Ad Does Trick, Brings a Buyer It wasn’t tough sledding for Hul da Glos, office manager of the athletic department, to get rid of some nice, ski equipment and make a little handy cash at the same time. She used an Emerald classified. The equipment was sold for a lot less than its actual value—but it was a bargain for the buyer, and cash in the hand for Mrs. Glos. Who knows what values are in classifieds ? You, too, may be able to ski down the slopes of Hoodoo on skis of your own—if you watch the classifieds.

Kenton's Modern Jazz Thrills Audience, 'The Man' Expresses Similiar Reaction By FRED YOUNG Thrilling! That is Stan Kenton’s feeling for his “Innovations in Modern Music for 1950,” and was also the reaction of 2,000 jazz de votees who enjoyed his Monday evening concert at McArthur Court. In a discussion before the con cert, Stan expressed the great thrill he’s received in both the pro gressive music he’s playing and the audience’s enthusiastic reac tion. He declared that he had no hope the music played last night would have any lasting qualities, for this would defeat his final purpose— that of striding ahead. Johnny Richards’ very pretty “Soliloquy,” featuring Milt Bern hart's trombone and spiced with a beguine rhythm, keynoted the concert with the depth and beauty of jazz. The following unnamed number proved one of the evening’s high lights when Bud Shank's sprightly flute was backed by a wordless voice choir and rhythm to provide a unique and fascinating blending. Shorty Rogers’ “(Expression” couldn’t escape his association with Woody Herman. A tremendous idea, it received a great ovation. Maynard Fergueson’s trumpet acknowledged all advance notices, with many perspectives of “All the Things You Are.” Also, Milt Bernhart's trombone should be al Council Meeting Today The ASUO Executive Council will meet at 4 p. m. today in the ASUO office, Emerald Hall. On the agenda will be the ap pointment of student and faculty members to the judiciary commit tee, appointment of the World Stu dent Service Fund chairman, and discussions of constitutional re vision, the facutly rating plan, and Ore-nter finances. lowed special mention for iis rev elations in Bill Russo’s melodious “Solitaire” and Bob Graettinger's rhythmic “Jazz Incident." Pete Rugulo contributed an iri» teresting fugue “Mirage.” Harry Betts’ trombone punctuated the always pleasant “Love for Sale,” and another Rugulo impression for voice and orchestra, “Conflict,” heralded June Christy’s appear ance. Christy offered a quintet of tunes including the fine "I’ll Re member April” and the new “Imag ination.” However, her wonderful singing seemed proportionately small alongside the jazz “innova tions ’ of the Kenton orchestra. It'll probably take many of us several days to digest all of music put before us last night, and we know that the second listening is far better than the first. But, we heard people say they were glad they didn't miss "Innovations for 1950.” Religious Week Continues Today; Firesides Planned Morning Worship Continues Annual Event; Local Clergymen to Meet With Living Groups Religious Evaluation Week begins its third day, with morn ing worship at 7:30 this morning in Gerlinger’s Alumni Hall. Jane Simpson is student leader of this morning’s devotions. The Rev. Charles Epple of the United Lutheran Church will speak. Morning services conclude at 7:50, in time for students to attend 8 o'clock classes. Topic of today’s major address by Dr. Charles W. Gilkey is Cannot Borrow Religion, Says Charles Gilkey Second-hand religion is like sec ond-hand friendship—nothing to count on. One can't borrow religion and "make it do;” if it is not one's own, it’s not much good. Such was the basis of the second in the series of Religious Evalua tion Week 'Speeches by Dr. Charles W. Gilkey, "The Impotence of Sec ond-Hand Religion,” Monday after noon. Dr. Gilkey illustrated his address with a quotation from the Book of Acts, telling the story of the sons of Siva who tried to cast out evil spirits by repeating the formula used by Paul, failing miserably. "The trouble in this story was that the sons of Siva were trying to apply to others a spiritual formula about which they knew nothing at first hand,” Dr. Gilkey explained. “The formula was orthodox enough, but it lacked what is al ways more important than ortho doxy—reality in the lives of the people who used and spoke it.” Evil spirits are much more real in this age of anxiety than in th£ age of confidence, the speaker stated. Our generation is better ac quainted with mental and emotion al disturbances; we understand what troubles inside ourselves can do to personal and social relations, he continued. "Now we have terms like com plexes andl neuroses for these dis turbances; in New Testament days they they lumped them together un der the heading of “evil spirits.” This story contains a warning and a prophecy for college students in this postwar era of changing re ligious perspectives and altered values, Dr. Gilkey said. It warns that evil spirits here now, such as disillusion and dis couragement which may harden in to cynicism and despair, will never go away if we merely quote formu las and borrowed creeds. It holds the promise that if we can substitute for second-hand re ligion something with first-hand reality for ourselves, we will be the immeasurable gainers. “First-hand religion, however narrow, always has an authority and power that second-hand relig ion, however intelligent, always lacks. “A thing to remember about re ligions perplexities,” the speaker emphasized, “is that when they are (Please turn to i>age three) contemporary Religious Illiter acy.” The lecture, part of the week's series on “First-Hand Re ligion,” is scheduled for 4 p.m. in 3 Fenton. "Question box” sessions from 7 to 8 p.m. daily at Westminster House are emphasized by Dr. Gilkey as one of the most valuable portions of the week’s program. Discuss Questions At these informal discussion ses sions Dr. Gilkey will converse with students on religious questions and problems submitted through the question boxes at the Co-op at the lecture sites, or presented orally at the session. Dr. Gilkey has conducted .siniilar sessions at colleges and universities throughout the nation in his 30 years of experience with religious emphasis programs. Fireside discussions in campus living groups are scheduled for 5:30 and 10:30 p.m. today. Poll Put to Use Local clergymen youth leaders, and faculty members will conduct discussions, primarily slanted to ward questions which were found to be of student interest through an informal campus poll taken last week. Typical questions asked by the students polled were based on the place of religion in marriage, in cluding intermarriage between per sons of differing faiths, and the seeming conflict between the teach ings of religion and the discoveries of science. An orientation luncheon for fire side leaders will be held at 12 noon today in John Straub Hall. Piano Students To Play Tonight The Schoool of Music will pre sent a program of concerti and duo-piano music at 8 p. m. tonight in the music auditorium. Opening the program will be Joyce Everson playing the first movement of Mozart's “Concerto in D Minor.” Betty Bagley and Denali Groth will play Milhaud’s “Scaramouche,” a suite for two pianos. Madelon Adler will play Franck’s "Symphonic Variations;” Frances Baum, Chopin’s “Romanza;” and Geneva Ide, Dohnanyi’s “Variation on a Nursery Rhyme.” All of these students have had concert experience. The concert is open to the public. Mr. Hopkins will play orchestral accompaniement for the concerto numbers.
