'John Brown's Body'
CMA's Presentation
ANNE BAXTER
RAYMOND MASSEY
I Jonr> crowns Body,” Paul
Gregory’s production of Stephen
Vincent Benet's Pulitzer prize
winning poem, starring Tyrone
Power, Anne Baxter, Raymond
Massey and the Walter Schumann
Choral group will be presented in
McArthur court Oct. 19 as the
first offering of the newly-com
bined Eugene-University Civic
Music association.
Gregory earned theatrical ac
claim in 1951 with his production
of George Bernard Shaw's “Don
Juan in Hell," played by the First
Diama Quartette, composed of
Charles Boyer, Charles Laughton,
Cedric Hardwicke and Agnes
Moorehead. In this production he
dispensed entirely with costumes,
props and scenery to place great
er emphasis on the aesthetic and
literary values of the lines.
Similarly, jn “John Brown’s
Body" the emphasis is placed on
Benet himself. None of the play
ers actually plays a part; each
reads or “resiles” the lines. Also,
for the first; time in the history of
modern theater, the chorus fulfills
the function that it originally had
in ancient drama, that of forward
ing the action of the story and of
playing the role of fate, or des
tiny.
Power, in the plan of Gregory
and Charles Laughton, director,
represents the romantic spirit of
the poem, Massey the patriotic
or political spirit and Miss Bax
ter the “feminine point of view.”
Each of the male stars reads the
lines of five principle characters,
and Miss Baxter represents the
“point of view” of seven distinct
and highly individual feminine
characters.
The chorus, in its role, repre
sents the clash and clamor of war,
the voice of flowing waters, wind
in the trees, the voice of the
wounded and dying, the plaint of
lovers, the paean of victory and
UO Discipline Code
Explained By Hawk
by Jackie Warded
Emerald Managing Editor
“We're not running a police
force, our concern is only that
the students are away from home
and we expect them to behave as
their parents would expect them
to.’’
That’s how Ray Hawk, director
of men’s affairs summed up his
administration of the University’s
discipline code.
The code itself is a “broad, gen
eral thing” Hawk said. It’s set up
by the student-faculty discipline
committee in such a way as to
leave most of the actual decisions
up to the directors of men’s and
women’s affairs.
Hawk and Mrs. Golda P. Wick
ham, director of women’s affairs,
have authority to make final dis
position of all cases involving
punishment short of expulsion, but
may refer cases to the committee
at any time. And any student who
“feels he isn’t getting a fair deal”
may appeal to the committee.
It’s Tougher
Hawk commented that very few
students will refer to the commit
tee — "it’s usually much tougher
than we are,” he said.
Causes for expulsion as listed
in the code include wanton de
struction of property, drunken
ness, false information concerning
overnight off-campus privileges,
immorality, gross indecency and
misbehavior punishable under the
State of Oregon Criminal code.
Punishable by suspension are
the following offenses: cheating,
unauthorized absence from living
organizations after closing hours,
false information concerning ov
ernight off-campus privileges.
Once Out, No Return
Once expelled a student can't
come back to Oregon and “prob
ably will be refused admittance
to any other college or university,”
Hawk said. Therefore, any pos
sible expulsion is carefully scrut
inized.
There is no actual probationary
status set up under the discipline
committee, only what Mrs. Wick
ham and Hawk decide to do in in
dividual cases.
Under the form of probation us
ually used for first offenders, the
student is banned from campus
activities and must make periodic
checks with the office of student
affairs.
Hawk added that neither he nor
Mrs. Wickham try to itemize each
offense under specific code titles.
“The drunkenness charge, for in
stance, will usually cover any of
the offenses.'' As an example he
cited the practice of “squirrelling"
cars on . campus l'awns during the
winter which usually results in a
ruined lawn. “Most* people would
never think of such a thing unless
they had been drinking, so the of
fense could come under both the
destruction of property and the
drunkenness charge,’’ Hawk said.
Pickups Reported
“Our office cooperates very
closely with the Eugene and
Springfield police in all matters
connected with University stu
dents," the men's director said.
Police reports on every call or
pickup connected with the Univer
sity come across the student af
fairs’ desk.
“We try to avoid double pun
ishment—the student must stand
trial as any citizen and we feel in
most cases that this is enough,”
“However," he added “this policy
depends upon the seriousness' of
the offense. A second pickup us
ually means the end.”
Many times, according to Hawk,
the police will refer a case to
(Please turn to page jour)
the chant of a people in triumphs
This use of the chorus carries out
the conviction of both Schumann
and Laughton that the human
voice “can be made to do any
thing.” -
Gregory’s production is the
first major stage presentation of
Benet s poem, and like his "Don
Juan,” is done in support of his
contention that Americans every
where, in the cities and smaller
towns, will support the best in
the theater when given the op
portunity.
All University students are ad
mitted to EUCMA presentations
on their student body cards.
