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

agency will not be in charge
after July 1. Both contracts are
to be submitted to OEO by the
first of next month.
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.
