Blood Drive Tues.-Wed Veteran's Last Role Glenna Hurst Plays Irish Lass in 'Finian's Rainbow' i By Jim 11 ay cox Glcnna Hurst .shouldn't hy rights be an actress at all, for the stage gave her one of her first unpleasant experiences. At the tender age of four she was terrified hy the "bloodhounds" in "Uncle Tom's Cabin." They might have been only collies but, she remembers, they seemed aw fully big at the time. Glenna, an Albany gi'-l since 1940, plays her final role with the ! University Theater as Sharon Me Lonergan in “Finian’s Rainbow," . which opened Friday and will play konight through Saturday this week. Oddly enough, too, the part is a lot like the first role she ever handled for the Theater, another i little Irish lass by the name of Pegeen in “The Playboy of the Western World." It was for this part that she received the Best Actress of 1948 award. Miss Hurst graduates this spring and her plans call for a trip back to New York in a '34 Ford after be coming Mrs. Smith. There, while husband Gerry works for a Mas ter’s Degree in business at N. Y. U., she hopes to work in speech cor rection. She and Gordon Howard, who together make up the romantic couple, did have one slight scare, though, when they both thought they were coming down with colds. The infirmary came to the rescue with penicillin. Glenna has used that voice a lot as a speech major and member of the University Singers, and she wasn't going to let a little thing like a cold get her down. Gals: Sign Up to Rush!

Miss Oberteuffcr told the coun cil that the Duck Preview weekend program was run off smoothly ami expressed the opinion that the sche dule provided for the high school seniors was appreciated and en joyed by them. "The only trouble was that w« didn't have enough people here, ’ Miss Obertetiffer stated. She blam ed the failure of a better showing upon an inadequate system of pro motion. Written invitations issued by sororities at Oregon State Col lege were Cited by Miss Obcrteuff* r as an inducement to attend the high school senior week* nd h< Id there. The High School Relations Board was in charge of contact ing the high school students, she told the council. Something under 500 high -chcs l •entors attended the preview held on the campus Friday through Sunday. Difficulty in housing the vit.* ing seniors was experienced, the council was informed, due to the fact that reply cards sent to stu dents were late in being delivered. Plans Presented Miss Ob« rteuffer suggested that one of two plans be adopted in fie future in order to insure maximum attendance at the University high school senior weekend: 1. Work with OSC to formulate a set of rules in respect to pro motion of the weekend. 2. Encourage fraternities and sororities to personally invite high school seniors to visit the Orogc.u campus during the weekend. ASUO President Barry Mountain suggested that the chaiilYian for the Preview program be appoint ed the first week of winter term .o the future in order to allow ample time for preparation. Mountain said that he would appoint a com mittee to investigate the sugge1 - tions put forward by Miss Ober tcuffer.
