kegger sponsored by the club after the day s events

‘Forty Nine’ twice
Sunday and Monday performances of native writer Joaquin Miller s
“Forty Nine” will serve serious and light-hearted ends as the musical
melodrama of the Sierras plays before both political and class groups.
The Native American Student Union is sponsoring a Sunday even
ing benefit performance for the Dennis Banks Legal Defense Fund at 8
pm in 167 EMU. The cast and crew of the Eugene Theater Company
have volunteered their talents for the special showing, and admission is
set at $2.50. fi
As the final event in the centennial lecture series, “Forty Nine will
once again hit the stage for class members Monday night at 8:30 in the
Wesley Center. A pre-play, pot-luck early American dinner for class
members will fill the Honors College lounge at 6:45 p.m. with food and
traditional music as provided by part of the “Forty Nine” cast.
Enrolled members of the class must pick up their free tickets by
noon Monday at the Honors College Lounge. After the noon deadline
tickets will be distributed to the general public while the supply lasts.
“Forty Nine,” written by the native poet-writer-publisher
philosopher Miller, was first performed in Oregon in 1881 and ran longer
than any single Mark Twain play on Broadway .The current production
opened last November at the Coburg Community Center, often referred
to as Miller's “old stomping grounds." A summer tour of the state is
planned for the play following the upcoming local performances.
