Attention Helmet Makers! The Amazons Need You By NORM ANDERSON Forty shields and spears and fifty helmets. Most of them for a bunch of women who just wen’t be satisfied with anything but a per fect fit. All this and more will bedevil the prop and stage crew chairman for •'The Warrior’s Husband.” These guys need help, any kind of help, ex perienced or inexperienced, union or non-union, men or women. The play goes before the lights in less than a month. According to Bill Schlossser tech nical director of the University Theater (who also has to w'orry about making three sets for the Amazon comedy) it won t be such a rough job if people will drop into the Theater Workshop whenever they can and whip up a helmet or a spear or two. It won’t leave all forty helmets and spears, to be made by the regular workshop crew. Right now Hob Deul is the man worrying about these particular women and their helmets, and he s the man to see (or Schlosser or anyone in the workshop) about giv ing a little help to the rushed crew. No regular hours are required. Just drop in anytime. And the sooner the better. French Comedy Set for Tonight Rene Clair’s French comedy “The Crazy Ray” and the Russian “Bal let Russe” will be shown in 207 Chapman tonight at 7 and 9 p. m. as part of the Wednesday night movie series. Originally called "Paris Qui Port,” “The Crazy Ray” should be interesting expecially to those who admire Clair’s later films. The story is of a French inven tor who discovers a ray which makes the whole world stand still. The comic element comes in when a small group of people atop the Riff el tower are unaffected and wander about the sleeping city. Add to the bill, the 30-minute fihort “Ballet Russe” includes three films on classical Russian ballet. World famous ballet artists are featured in Bayaderka Ballet, Swan Lake Ballet, and Russian Bal let and Folk Dances. Showings are open to all Uni versity students and faculty mem bers. Students should bring stu dent body cards for admission. CLASSIFIED Classifies don't cost, they pay! Classified ads bring; quick results. Emerald classifieds bring; quick re sults.

Vets Insurance To Be Renewed Veterans who took out National Service Life Insurance in 1942 must convert or renew their pres ent policies this year, before they expire, according to the Veteran’s Administration. Failure of veter ans to do so may result in the loss of their G. I. insurance, unless they are able to pass a physical examin ation. G. I. policies issued in 1924 have eight years to run before they must be converted or renewed and vet erans must apply for their new policies before the old ones run out. (This applies to term policies only.) Many veterans, the VA said, are not sure when they first took out their N. S. L. I. policies and needlessly take the risk of losing their protection because they don’t know when policies should be re newed. Even though the VA will try to notify the veteran 60 days ahead of time before the expiration date of his G.I. insurance policy, it is wise for him to check with the VA de termine the anniversary date of his insurance policy if he isn’t sure. Approximately one-third of the half-million veterans in the Pacific Northwest who have G.I. insurance pay their premiums during the 31 day “grace period.” They face the loss of their insurance when it expires, because it may no longer be in force when they get around to making application for a converted policy or a renewal. The VA advised veterans to pay their premiums on time and de pend on the “grace period” only in cases of real financial emerg ency. Wan fed - Beach wear Bathing suits from grandma’s day are needed by members of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority.
