tions.
Both journalism and non-journ

The increasing important of ra

cently conducted by C. E. Hooper
for NBC to study the effect of the

per cent for early evening news
programs over a year ago. All ra
dio listening was up 24 per cent.

a 5 psych decile who could enlist
50 petition signers eligible to run.
In previous years, campus poli
tical parties have each endorsed
two candidates for class offices.
Joyce Sommerlade Plays Lead Role
Of Billie in UO Theater Production
By Don Smith
Anybody got a negligee that
“does all the right things?”
Joyce Sommerlade, who will
play the lead role of Billie Dawn
in “Born Yesterday” when it opens
Friday night at the University
Theater, needs a negligee that fits
the character she plays.
Last year the pretty Delta
Gamma portrayed Kate Kenion in
“The Girl I Left Behind Me,” an
innocent girl who is just the op
posite of Billie of “Born Yester
day.”
Billie, in the vernacular of the
streets, is a “broad.”
“It’s the kind of role every hope
ful actress wants to play,” Miss
Sommerlade remarked, “but after
you get the role, you don’t know
just exactly how to play it.”
Does Fine Job
While Miss Sommerlade may be
worried about her performance,
those who have been watching re
h$fcrsals point out that she's do
ing pretty fine as the dumb blonde
who turns out to be not so dumb.
“Everyone knows Joyce as a
JOYCE SOM31ERLADE
lovely, sweet girl,” one of the oth
er cast members remarked, “and
in this play she plays Billie, who
is just about the exact opposite
of Joyce.” Billie is hard, practical,
and worldly.
The part appeals to Miss Som
merlade because it is “colorful,
fast, and full of wonderful lines.”
Really, there’s not much you can
compare Billie to—she’s just Billie.
An ex-chorus girl with two mink
coats, Billie has five costume
changes during the three-act
comedy.
Wears Many Clothes
“As Billie, I wear a dressy dress,
lounging pajamas, the negligee,
and two suits,” Miss Sommerlade
explained, “and I’m having dif
ficulty getting costumes that will
do.”
The attractive sophomore has
been interested in dramatics for
some years, and was active in her
high school drama group. “Born
Yesterday” is her second stage pro
duction at Oregon—and her sec
ond leading role.
But it's the theater that inter
ests her—and she’s not only been
on stage but has helped out in the
box office and coat check room
when she wasn't appearing in a
production.
Pairings Released
For Friday's Rally
Pairings for Friday’s car rally were selected Wednesday, Jim
Fenimore, rally board chairman, announced.
In accordance with a new plan, the board tried to have the hill
top houses paired with those further down on the campus and the
millrace houses paired with those on the hilltop.

CommunityChest
Collections Start
Now that the hierarchy is com
plete, the Community Chest Ap
peal is well underway. Collections
will start today.
Georgie Oberteuffer, junior in
liberal arts, was appointed by
Tom King Wednesday to arrange
for representatives in living organ
izations. King is assisting general
student chairman Barry Mountain.
"Booths may be set up in the Co
op and the Student Union to ac
cept contributions from any per
sons who are not personnally con
tacted," King said.
“Everyone should keep in mind
the many worthy organizations
that receive aid from the chest.
The YMCA and the YWCA, which
are well represented on the cam
pus, are only two that directly
benefit the students. Others in that
category are the revived U. S. O.
or Associated Services for the
Armed Forces and the American
Cancer Society,” he explained.
