‘Death ’ Players picket,
perform at Mall and ROTC
Anti-war activities continued in Eugene Thurs
day, with the spector of death and the Eugene
Guerrilla Theater making an appearance on the
downtown mall at noon.
Death, a black robed figure who refused to give
any name other than Death, stood on the mall with
his corpse white mask and dramaticized the passing
out of anti-war leaflets by five people continuing the
vigil there.
At noon, the guerrilla theater marched into the
mall carrying signs promoting the rallies planned
for last night and Saturday.
The seven players all wore army fatigues and
passed out leaflets about the demonstrations.
They sang several parodies on military songs,
including a rendition of the Marine’s Hymn which
started: “From the bloody halls of the Pentagon, to
the shores of Vietnam.’’
After singing their songs and parading around the
mall fountain, the group marched down the mall
The theater group then marched around the man
perimeter and entered the Pacific Northwest Bell
lobby and passed out leaflets in other businesses,
and went to the armed forces recruiting stations at
11th and Willamette.
At the recruiting stations they entered each office
and distributed their leaflets and asked questions of
the recruiters. One person asked a Navy recruiter
how he felt each time he ordered another ship. The
recruiter had no comment.
The group then came to the campus area and
went into th» University branch of the U.S. National
Bank of Oregon. They then proceeded onto campus
and sang their songs on the EMU Terrace.
In other activities Thursday, a group of about 6
people picketed the Air Force ROTC building for the
second consecutive day and passed out leaflets to
pedestrians and passing cars. No further plans have
been announced to continue the picketing.
Beer bottle bomb
found diffused
The third molotov cocktail in two days was found
near a car on Alder Street across from the Air Force
ROTC building early Thursday morning by Eugene
Police.
An officer on patrol in the campus area spotted
the small fire at 2:05 a m. Thursday.
When he reached the scene, the fire had gone out,
reports said.
A police spokesman said the molotov cocktail was
a beer bottle filled with gasoline. The wick had
apparently been thrown clear of the bottle and the
gasoline when it landed, according to the report.
The car, owned by Kendrick Mercer, of 1774
Alder, was not seriously damaged.
