Two Enthusiaifs Take Roles j/n Theater Play, The Girl' By NORMAN ANDERSON I ■ Two girls who really like the roles they are playing will contribute enthusiasm to the Belasco and Fyles melodrama, “The Girl I Left Behind Me”, opening Friday night in the University I i neater tor a hve clay run. 1 he show, directed by Horace W Robinson, will run May 26, 27, 30, ol and June 1. Tickets are $1. Typing herself as a natural for the part, Elmarie Wendel considers Lucy the best role she’s ever played in a varied theatrical ca reer which also includes dancing. “She seems closer to my own personality. When she's happy, she’s happy. She never gets down in the dumps,” related Miss Wan j del, vividly illustrating the role with gestures and expression dur ing a rehearsal of “The Girl.” Miss Wendel describes Lucy as a young girl at Ft. Kennion, army post in Montana during the 1890’s, who decides she wants a man and sets out to get him. “And this is a typical melodrama with a happy ending. She gets -’him.” “The Girl” is the second Univer sity Theater production Miss Wen del has appeared in this season. She had a minor role in “The War rior’s Husband” in April. She also played in “Fun Circle,” one of the one-acts presented at the Experi mental Theater production several weeks ago. Miss Wendel is no newcomer to the stage. She has appeared often in productions of Eugene’s Very Little Theater and was recently seen as Galatea in “Pygmalion and Galatea.” She also played in “Craig’s Wife” with the VLT. A sophomore, Miss Wendel dropped-out op school last year and worked in Portland, where she en gaged in theatrical activities at Portland University. She did work on “The Drunkard,” “The Male Animal,” and “The Hasty Heart,” among others. Miss Wendel has an interest in choreography (dance routines) and radio. A little experience adds to both interests. She did the chor eopraphy for “Fun Circle,” and has appeared with Portland’s KGW, as well as the University radio. A career in the drama field is the personable young actress’s ambition, but just where she’s not sure. “I’ll just go into acting, stage *jor choreography. I'm interested enough even to try Broadway.” Dorm Council Favors Disclipline for TNEs Members of the Inter-dormitory Council Tuesday went on record as favoring more severe punishment for University students found to be members of Theta Nu Epsilon, il legal secret political organization. At a meeting last night ,the IDC recommended that support should be given to the United Students Association in exposing the list of TNE members, now in the hands of University officials. IDC President Frank Fairly re ported that the Council recom mended independent action if the USA does not accept IDC support in exposing names. The Council does not favor ex pulsion for all proven TNE mem bers, Fairly explained. It does be lieve more severe punishment than is now planned should be given. The 25 admitted members of TNE have been placed on proba tion for their remaining University careers. For speedy service, use Emerald classifieds.

With a voice perfectly suited for the role, Miss Sinclair portrays a young girl of 16 who often makes mmistakes and says the wrong things. “But,” says Miss Sinclair, “she’s young enough that people expect her to and aren't upset.” As Wilbur’s Ann, Miss Sinclair takes a “yen” to a young doctor who arrives at Fort Kennion. Ev entually, in the course of the play, Ann gets her doctor. Miss Sinclair is playing her first University Theater role. A major in drama, she started college as an art major. She says she’s always been interested in the theater, but didn’t really get started in it until she attended summer sessions at Pacific University. In “The Girl,” Miss Sinclair en joys playing the last act the best. She thinks that’s the place where the feeling of the melodrama is most carried out by Ann. “First she’s eral unhappy, and then she’s real happy.” But the scene Miss Sinclair wor ries most about is trying to make her giggle appear natural. “I want to giggle and I can giggle, but it’s .-the kind of laugh and how long it lasts that I find difficult to do.” Miss Sinclair's home js Lebanon.
