Weekend preview Feliciano tops weekend hill By CHRIS HOUGLUM Of The Emerald Jose Feliciano has stepped in to salvage a pretty lackluster weekend of entertainment. Thank God. This prospect, plus that of the approach of Uni versity Theatre’s “The Apple Tree,” contributes to a feeling approaching optimism on my part. The Feliciano concert isn’t as yet sold out, so far as I know. Those who wish to tune in on the vocalizing of this blind-since birth pop artist, whose single adaptation of The Doors’ “Light My Fire” rose to the top of the record charts a few months ago, should inquire about tickets at the EMU main desk or Mattox’ Pipe Shop. Ticket prices are $4, $3, $2.50, and $1.50. Time is, of course, running short. Feliciano’s performance is slated for 8 p.m. Saturday in Mac Court. If you’ve sadly neglected earlier op portunities for purchasing seats, move. Re “The Apple Tree”: this is a new, fun-filled musical comedy by Sheldon llarnick and .Jerry Bock, which has been adapted by Horace Robin son, director and production designer, for the UT main stage. The presentation is comprised of adaptations of three famous American folk stories. The first act is a dramatic version of Mark Twain’s “The Diary of Adam and Eve,” and begins on June first in the Garden of Eden. The situations which accrue to this particular format are testimony to Twain’s innovation and profound wit. “SEMI-BARBARIC KINGDOM” Act. II takes place “a long time ago” in “A Semi-Barbaric Kingdom,” and is the retelling of the Frank Stockton tale of a princess who is forced to choose between seeing her lover wed to another woman or tossed to a half-starved man eating tiger. The final act is Jules Fieffer’s success story of Ella, the chimney sweep who becomes a glamor ous movie star through the wish-granting powers of her friendly neighborhood fairy god mother. Although there are no real 'leads” in the pro duction, principal players include Nancy Moyer, Howard Dallin, John Flaherty, Barbara Martin, Don Kelley, K. Dunkley, Doyle Smith, Kay Er skine, Chris Wallace, and Monroe Denton. I be lieve that takes care of everybody. Musical direction will be by Dave Shrader, with choreography handled by Kay Dunkley. Don Fibiger gives an assist from the costume depart ment. Tickets for “The Apple Tree” go on sale Mon day, Feb. 24„ with the productions slated for its opening performance on Friday, Feb. 28. Re maining play dates are March 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8. . Curtain time on all dates is 8 pan. Ticket information may be obtained by phon ing the UT box office, 342-1411, ext. 1731. Box office hours are noon to 5 p.m., and noon to 9 p m. on dates of performance. Films: Some constructive criticism and/or ob scure references thereon: Heilig Theatre: “Alaskan Safari” is a cinematic sojourn through the waste areas of the Yukon. This enables the viewer to observe the antics of polar bears and other wonderful things. Plays through next Wednesday, unless held over by popular demand. “THE FIXER” Mayflower: “The Fixer,” John Frankenheimer’s reasonably successful adaptation of Bernard Malamud’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, con tinues for a third week. Alan Bates has trouble with his English accent, but turns in an other wise impressive performance as a persecuted Jew in pre-Revolutionary Russia. Dirk Bogard is the ablest member of the supporting cast. The film follows a linear progression .to a certain point, then stops short. Also, the extended se quence depicting Bates’ imprisonment is so superbly handled that much of the rest of the film pales by comparison. Oakway Cinema: “The Stalking Moon” is a highly acclaimed western which builds nicely despite, or perhaps because of, an unassuming format. Gregory Peck stars as a man who at tempts to return the White wife (Eva Marie Saint) of a murderous Sioux to civilization. Naturally, the sadistic husband chooses to hunt Peck out, following him in a deliberate cam paign of destruction which is supposed to give Peck an idea of what he’s in for. Good perform ances, reportedly. “MIDDLE-AGED ELVIS PRESLEY” Fox Theatre: Dean Martin, who might be deemed a middle-aged Elvis Presley, is back in a production which, curiously, is recommended for mature audiences. It’s called "The Wrecking Crew” and, though no information can be ob tained regarding plot, etc., it’s probably the usual mildly amusing and unassuming Martin picture: if you like the man, you’ll like the movie. McDonald: Steve McQueen is still crowding the place with his “Bullitt,” which has been here for three weeks without my having seen it. It’s probably worth seeing, and the co-feature (Aud rey Hepburn in “Wait Until Dark”) is a definite plus. The Stoned Illusion from Portland will play at a dance in the EMU Ballroom from 8 to 12 tonight, sponsored by the ASUO Social division. Admission is 75c. No immediate changes reported in Corps, Head Start offices University officials said today that there will be no immediate changes in the operation of the Tongue I’oint Job Corps and the Head Start programs which are headquartered at the University, despite the sched uled transfer from the Office of Economic Opportunity to other agencies on July 1. On that date the Job Corps will go to the Labor Depart ment and Head Start will he assigned to the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, President Nixon decided Wednesday. The University holds a $3.9 million prime contract, the only one of its type in the nation, for the operation of the Oregon Tongue Point Center at Astoria, and a $39,000 contract for the operation of the Oregon Head Start program for pre-schoolers. At present, spokesmen f o r both Head Staid and the Job Corps said they are under obli gation to negotiate contract re newals with OEO although that First Congregational Church (United Church of Christ) 1050 23rd Avenue E.

Stafford Thomas, assistant for federal projects in the Univer sity College of Education, com mented that the University will be delighted as an institution to continue operation of the Job Corps Center. "The switch to the Depart ment of Labor appeal's logical,” he said, "since the primary pur povse of the Job Corps is train ing. However, as an educator, I am hoping that the general education component of the training will continue to carry as much weight in the program as it has in the past.” Currently there are about 800 women between 16 and 21 at the center receiving basic edu cation and training in five voca tional areas including electron ics, nurses’ aide, secretarial, food service, and drafting. Hazel Breslin, regional train ing officer for Head Start whose office is located on campus, said some 4.000 Oregon youngsters attend Head Start enrichment programs each year. Twelve academic year programs, and between 40 and 50 summer pre school projects are held throughout the state. The training program also in volves parents of pre-schoolers in instructing them on how to be teachers’ aides in the Head Start program.
