Faber DeChaine Returns to Stage
In New Role of Finian McLonegan
By Jim Haycox
Heavy-voiced Harry Brock, the
lamhunctuous junkman of “Born
Yesterday,” and the guy who play
ed the role, Faber DeChaine, are
back.
So, too, are Dr. Kurtz of “Thun
der Rock” and Victor O'Leary of
"John Loves Mary.” Again Mr.
DeChaine.
But in his new role, Finian Mc
Lonergan, Faber finds his own
•favorite character. Welcoming the
change from the realistic tech
niques found in former parts, this
time stage villain finds Fin
ian, a fantasy-type character, just
what the doctor ordered.
Faber isn’t quite sure when the
lure of bright lights became im
portant to him, but he thinks that
it must have happened in high
school. At any rate he's come a
long way since that first role. Even
during his hitch in the army he
kept his interest in the stage alive
wherever possible.
Best Work in 1949
But his best record of stage
work was in the summer of 1949.1
At thllt time he was with the Los'
Angeles Repertory as a. technical
man and bit part actor. Later on
that same summer he moved over !
to the Lagoon Sand Beach Players,
where the roles were just a little
bit more enticing.
A senior in speech, Faber has no
intention of calling it quits with
stage work when he graduates. He
plans to take graduate work in
dramatic education with an em
phasis on the technical phase and
go into teaching—higher education,

Student Opinion in Assam
Moulds Public Opinion in India
By Helen .Jackson
"Assam is the gateway to the
Communistic countries of China
and Tibet, and it is hard for an
American student to realize the
influence Indian students have
over public opinion. As student
opinion goes, so goes public opin
ion."
That is what Neichulieu Haralu,
commonly called Nicky, said of her
native Assam in an interview Mon
day.
Nicky was asked to describe the
conditions in Assam so that Oregon
students could get an idea of the
conditions that the World Student
Service Fund drive hopes to help
alleviate with its funds. WSSF
funds this year were voted to stu
dent aid in Assam. India.
WSSF Gives Hope
"I believe that the funds Oregon
students donate will not only help
the students with their education
but will give them hope, and
strengthen their idea of democ
racy," Miss Haralu emphasized.
"Even when very young, students
take a part in politics and the ad
ministrative fields which is not
common in this country."
As far as the actual educational
facilities are concerned, Assam has
only one university for a popula
tion of 10 million. Gauhati Univer
sity, as it is called, is a university
of grass huts, Said Miss Haralu.
"Often it is impossible to attend,
even if you have the money, be
cause of the lack of educational
facilities and dormitories,” she con
tinued. "If you don't have the
money it is impossible to wo; k
your way through as it is here.”
Contrasts Facilities
"We have a so-called library n
Gauhati but I still get lost in Amer
ican libraries because of their vast
ness," Miss Haralue pointed out.
According to her. the greatest
need in Assam at present is for
funds for the medical school. Dur
ing September and October of
1951, 300 tremors shook Assam
and completely destroyed its only
medical school. "Instruments,
books, medicines- all were gone, ’
Miss Haralu said. The consequence
of the earthquake were floods and
famine, which added to the distress.
"VVSSF funds are a medium cl’
good will as well as financial aid.”
she concluded, “and I certainly
think the drive is a most worth
while project."
Miss Haralu is a graduate stu
dent in social sciences and plans to
return to India after this school
year. Her primary interests aro
in the fields of social work, relief
work, and international relations.
