Friday Opening Set
For'Born Yesterday'
By Don Smith
“She’s just a dumb broad,” in
the words of Brock, lead male,
but even at that she wasn’t born
yesterday, as Billie, lead charact
er, proves in the Garson Kanin
comedy, “Born Yesterday,” open
ing Friday night as the first pro
duction of the University Theater
1950-51 season.
The smash hit of a recent
Broadway season will also be pre
sented Saturday, and Nov. 1, 2, 3,
and 4, with Joyce Sommerlade and
Faber DeChaine in lead roles.
Brock takes his woman, Billie,
with him to Washington, D. C.,
where he “buys” a senator to help
him push legislation through
Congress favorable to Brock’s
business. Billie is a legal partner
in all Brock’s firms—but a silent
partner since all she does is sign
her name to contracts without
ever bothering to read them. And
even if she did read them she
couldn’t understand them.
Worries About Billie
But Brock gets worried about
Billie’s ignorance—he wants her
spruced up in her social graces,
so she'll fit into Washington
society. He hires a reporter, Paul,
to do the job; and Paul takes the
job because he likes Billie, and
isn’t unwilling to beat Brock's
time.
Billie listens to Paul because she
thinks he might “cross the line.”
At any rate, despite their original
motives, Billie proves she’s not so
dumb, and Paul educates her in
what’s* going on in the world,
what’s right and what’s not right
in a democracy, and what kind of
guy Brock really is.
Billie rebels against Brock,
wises up, and uses her position as
legal partner to throw a monkey
wrench into his plans.
Comedy Situation
The comedy of the play develops
from Billie's “rebirth” and her
struggle with being educated; the
conflicts she meets in Brock’s
reaction; and the change she
makes from a dumb blonde to a
clever woman.
The play had a long run on
Broadway, and was just recently
released for non-professional pro
duction. Judy Holliday and Paul
Douglas starred in the Broadway
show, and Miss Holliday is now
working in the film version of the
play. Because of the relationship
between Brock and Billie in the
play, several changes have had
to be made for the film production.
Columbia Valley Administration
Mulled at Symposium Meeting
Pro and con arguments on the
Columbia Valley Administration
issue were presented to the speech
department symposium group re
cently, by 'State Senator Richard
L. Neuberger and Calvin Crumbak
er, retired professor of economics.
“Preservation of Oregon’s na
tural resources would be greatly
aided by CVA,” Neuberger said,
adding, “We have no coal or oil in
the Northwest; wood is our only
fuel.”
Neuberger quoted Senator
Wayne Morse as saying, “Six mil
lion dollars for the CVA would
be insignificant in considering the
wealth it would develop. The suc
cess of the Tennessee Valley Au
thority could be indicative of simi
lar results on the Columbia River.”
Good for Manufacturing
“A favorable point is that there
is only one way to make us be
come a manufacturing center.
That is to build up power to take
care of our many raw materials
instead of sending it east where,
factories finish it,” he said.
Crumbaker, president of the Eu
gene Business College, and mem
ber of the City Council, declared'
that CVA is socialistic.
“CVA is Marxian in that it pro
vides for use of power for a fam-»
ily-size farm. To provide ample
irrigation, this provision would
lead to dividing the county into
such size farms.”
Development Unnecessary
CVA is unnecessary to develop
water power, Crumbaker said. The
average person, upon studying the
law, would be unable to under
stand it because of its phrasing.
The result would be that the ad
ministration could interpret it ac
cording to their own interests, he
said.
As to profit, Crumbaker com
mented, “Three-quarters to one bil
lion dollars are invested in the
Grand Coulee Dam, which won’t be
regained for five years or more.”
WAA Volleyball To Open Today
“WAA will open its season of ac
tivities with three volley ball games
today, October 23, at 5 p.m. in Ger
linger,” states Bonnie Gienger,
WAA President.
Participating teams have been

team. The four top teams will then

losses before being eliminated.
