I UT to Present German Classic, Nathan the Wise' By JAY TILLrAPAUGH Kmcruld Knt«,rtalnmi*nt Keillor “Nathan the Wise,” a German classic in the spirit of the 18th century enlightenment, runs tonight only as the first presentation of a Ger man language play at the University. The widely-traveled "Hie Brucke” Ensemble from Munich is sponsored by the Goethe Insti tute, in Munich, the University Theatre and the Student Union Hoard. An extensive program in English will be pro vided for theatregoers with no German or whose knowledge of German is rusty. PLEA FOR TOLERANCE "Nathan the Wise” is G. E. Lessing's plea for tolerance which he wrote as the outcome of his controversy with the religious bigot Pastor Goeze of Hamburg. Faring badly against his opponent’s superior intellect and wit, Pastor Goe/.c used his influence to have Lessing’s writings banned. Les sing then turned to the stage as a medium for promoting religious tolerance. Lessing pleads for tolerance and understand ing on the ground that no religion is superior to another and that brotherhood among men is what really counts. Peter Luhr in the title role gives an excellent portrayal of the good, wise. decent, yet shrewd and successful Jewish mer chant. His Nathan was not an Old Testament figure, hut a sophisticated and sceptical man of the world who understands human frailties. STORY OF ‘THREE RINGS’ The action takes place in Jerusalem during the time of the crusades. The bridge of friendship ! between the ruling Sultan and the Jewish mer chant is found in the “story of the rings.” Asked by the Sultan which religion is the true one, Nathan answers with the parable of the three rings which are so similar that there is no way of deciding which is the most valuable. Thus, he says they are all equal before God and the best works most strongly for “love free from preju dices.” The actors of the troupe are highly trained performers whose skills reflect the finest in Ger man theatrical art. Having performed in plays ranging from “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” to the great stage classics, they come from all over the German speaking world, from both East and West Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Tickets for this one-night only performance are available at the University Theatre box office, ext. 1781. Recreational Facilities Criticized by Mohr By GIL JOHNSON Emerald SUIT Writrr “If students ever take to the streets in protest at this univer sity, the igniter won't be dis approval of the faculty or admin istration, but the inadequate recre ational facilities here,” Fred Mohr, assistant to the dean of the Graduate School and Democratic candidate for the state legisla ture, stated Friday in an inter view. Commenting on the present! shake up of priority positions for new buildings under the Oregon State Board of Higher Kducation, he said, “this situation has re suited in a fantastic dis-service to students at the University.” The 36-year-old member of the Building Planning Commission j added that he has always argued j to change the priority listings and will continue to do so if elected, i Pollution Problem of Concern , Mohr, who classifies himself as a liberal, is running for his first elective office. In 1964, he served on Secretary Treasurer Robert Straub's executive campaign com mittee. Having received a Univer sity degree in chemistry, he has! a more than ordinary concern over the air pollution problem. He admits to being a “nut” on the air and water pollution question and is worried about the ineffec tiveness of current programs. Mohr was disappointed that the | legislature was unable to vote on the one and one-half per cent property tax limitation because i a vote would demonstrate its clear rejection of the measure. "The thrust of the one and one-half per cent move has been recognized,” j he said, “and the Democratic Party in Oregon has pledged to promote fair property tax relief.” Loss of Control, Support “The bill destroys local control for school programming and sup port of municipal government, throwing the budgeting power in to a three man education com mission,” Mohr pointed out. One of Mohr’s pet peeves is the equity principle now used for ap propriations to state schools. “There is a need for a new sys tem of evaluating programs. T h e present system has little suffi ciency in translating need into dollars; a new formula is needed to expand this connection,” he said. Maiden to Discuss Problems of Objectors Hank Maiden, field secretary for the central committee of Con scientious Objectors to Military Service will discuss current prob lems of the conscientious objector and talk individually to students at 4 p.m. Wednesday in the Stu dent Union. Maiden will speak again at 8 p.m. at Eugene Friends Meeting House (Quaker), 2274 Onyx St. ‘‘One cannot equate smaller schools with a large, national university like Oregon or Oregon State,” he went on to say. "What would be more practical is an independent evaluation commis sion which would make value judgments.” He illustrated this point with the example of Port land State College competing with the University for a good physics department when there isn’t enough money to create a de cent physics department at a smaller coltege. Mohr is also a great proponent of community colleges which he says prepare individuals for the “smokeless industries,” jobs of the future, with a high literacy rate. When asked if he sees any chance of a Republican comeback, he answered, "Very little. The only changes might be in the 16 seats that the Democrats pick ed from Lane county, one of which is his.

(CPS)— Teachers are not going to have to pay taxes on money they spend educating themselves after all. An overwhelmingly hostile reaction from congress and the nation’s teachers has forced the Internal Revenue service to back down from proposed regulations that would have prohibited tax payers from deducting the cost of post-graduate education from their gross income. IRS regulations are usually put into effect 30 days after their proposal, unless there are ob jections. This time the rules did not make it Use Emerald Classified Ads— Phone 342-1411, Ext. 1818.
