Ballet Comedian
Miss Iva Kitchell
Performs Tonight
Iva Kitchell, world-famous
dance Comedienne, will appear
tonight at 8 at McArthur court.
Called "the great American
spoof," Miss Kitchell has earned
a reputation for brilliant danc
ing while poking fun at all aorta
of people who take themselves
too seriously.
She is known for the rare
knack of lampooning without
hurting, aeeming to find her sub
jects of satire both laughable and
lovable.
Miss Kitchell was born in Junc
tion City. Kansas. She began her
career in serious dance at the
age of fourteen with the Chicago
Opera Ballet. Later, she toured
with a Russian ballet company.
Realizing that serious dance is
sometimes ridiculous, Miss Kitch
ell turned to dance satire. She
made her debut as a dance com
edienne at ■Carnegie hall in 1946.
Since then, she has given more
than 600 performances in Canada
and the United States. She has
recently completed a tour of
South America and Hawaii.
Miss Kitchell is her own au
thor, choreographer, and costume
designer. She is accompanied by
composer-pianist Harvey Brown,
who has composed the music for
many of her dances.

Veterans Form
Action Group
By Gordon Rico
Emerald Newt Editor
A group of ex-servicemen has
announced the formation of a
Veterans’ Committee to provide
information and work for the so
lution of veteran’s problems at
the University pf Oregon.
Richard Frear, the new presi
dent, emphasized that the com
mittee was not a political organ
ization, but a group to further
the interests of veterans.
May Kun Candidate
However, Gordon Ross, junior
in journalism, said there had
been some talk of running a can
didate for the ASUO presidency,
and that he "imagined that the
group will hack some candidates
in this spring's elections.”'
He said the group will back no
single party, but will "back can
didates who have our interests at
heart.”
The new organization held its
first meeting Tuesday afternoon
and promptly approved a con
stitution submitted by Frear, a
junior in general science, and
Bob Biggs, junior in pre-law.
Frear said the constitution would
be submitted to the office of
student affairs for approval.
Officers Fleeted
The group elected Frear as.
its first president and selected
a slate of four other officers, in
cluding Ross, vice-president; Bill
Walters, secretary; Biggs, treas
urer, and A1 Reynolds, program
chairman.
The group listed three objec
tives in its constitution. They’
are “to provide up-to-date in
formation of interest to veter-;
ans, to provide services that are |
sufficient through available
sources, and to establish social
unification for the veterans . . .
on a more mature level.”
“Lack of Knowledge”
Members of the new commit-1
tee complained of the "lack of
knowledge concerning veterans' l
problems shown by both the Uni-1
versity and city branches of the
Veterans’ Administration.”
One member called both of
fices "incompetent.” He said that \
he had been “legally deprived of i
almost two years of schooling” I
because of the Eugene office’s j
“lack of knowledge of the GI
Bill." Other men complained of
similar experiences.
The group recommended that1
Ethics to Be
Topic of Talk
Thomas W. Manson, professor
of Biblical criticism and exegesis
at the University of Manchester,
England, will deliver a lecture
on "The Basis of Christion Eth
ics" in the Dads’ room. Student
Union, at 8 p.m., April 25.
Spjonsors of the lecture are
the University Lectures commit
tee and the department of re
ligion.
Manson will also visit several
religion classes April 25, accord
ing to J. C. Perkins, acting head
of the department of religion.
Manson is the author of
"Church's Ministry,” "Sayings of
Jesus” and “Beginning of the
Gospel.” He is the editor of the
book, “Companion to the Bible,”
and the author of "Servant Mes
siah,” along with G. Zunbz.
At the University of Manches
ter, he was the dean of the fac
ulty of theology from 1941 to
1952 and Pro-Vice Chancellor
from 1945 to 1949. In 1953 he
was moderator of the General
Assembly of the Presbyterian
church of England. He now is
religious book reviewer for the
Manchester-Guardian.
the veterans’ representative be
available on campus on a certain
day each week.
700 Vets Here Now
Ten veterans attended the
meeting, but Frear said that
there arc approximately 700 vet
erans on campus now, and "many
more will be enrolling soon. It
is only fair that this group be
recognized and represented.”
Members of the committee also
indicated that they will work
for veterans’ legislation in the
Oregon legislature.
State Representative Maurine
Neuberger of Portland has al
ready contacted Biggs about us
ing the new committee as an ac
tion group to support the Oregon
Korean Veterans’ Bonus bill
which has run into opposition in
the legislature. Mrs. Neuberger
originally sponsored the bill.
.May Spread to OSC
There was also some possibil
ity that the movement would
spread to Oregon State college
and Oregon Technical Institute
at Klamath Falls. Ross revealed
that Biggs had spoken to groups
at both schools and that veterans
there were awaiting action by
the Oregin students.
Ross said he “expected the
movement to spread to the entire
Northwest.”
The committee has announced
plans to hold its second meet
ing Tuesday at 4 p.m. in the
Student Union, and have issued
an invitation to all interested
persons to attend.
According to the constitution,
membership is open to all hon
orably discharged veterans.
