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

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»

Betts’ trombone punctuated the
always pleasant “Love for Sale,”
and another Rugulo impression for

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

The Schoool of Music will pre
sent a program of concerti and
duo-piano music at 8 p. m. tonight
