The drama, by Moss Hart, is set in the steamy jungle of British Guiana. The tropical foliage and towering palm Astronomy Qroup Offers Butte Idea The Eugene Astronomical So - ciety got on the Skinner Butte construction proposal bandwag on Saturday by suggesting erec tion of an astronomical science center atop the buttc. Roger Fidlcr, program direc tor for the society, said the cen ter might include an observatory and planetarium. Society mem bers and civic groups have al ready indicated an interest in donating a telescope and con struction funds, Fidlcr said. He outlined his ideas in a let ter to Eugene Mayor Ed Cone. The science center thus joins a pioneer museum, a restaurant, an ice skating rink and a tourist j railroad on a list of items pro- Kovacs' Last TV Show To Be Aired By JAMES BACON Of th0 Associated Press HOLLYWOOD OB A week ago Saturday, a skidding, blind ing traffic crash killed comedi an Ernie Kovacs. But the nation's TV viewer: will see his last show as sched uled over ABC-TV next Tues day night and without com mercials. Dutch Master cigars, an un usual sponsor, will pick up the tab for the half-hour sh-iw. In stead of the usual four minutes allotcd for commercials, the show will substitute a classic Kovacs' bit the Nairobi Trio. The show was taped Dec. 3 and a spokesman for the spon sor said only one premise de cided its airing. "Ernie would have liked that It be seen and enjoyed," the spokesman said. Kovacs' relationship with his sponsor was unique. He once said that the cigar firm "cared nothing about ratings, formats, critics or cost. All they cared about was me and the way I held that cigar." The final show, fortunately, is one of Kovacs' better ones. It has a lot of his far-out humor and closes with some candid camera shots of him fooling around with his crew. These were not originally intended to be aired but they will be. , J , L i V mm) . 1 A A M A fi T sinaaHMMaa.aBBBiaBBSBBaMsaHnsBMSHhHHBNWbMcs ; 'i.v lrf r 1 v , ,? jaiOMB POLAROIDf. !:(lviCIu: LAND CAMERA 1 J I fow-A Polaroid . j f Electric Eye I - - j . i vlj : J Camera for I H feC i uss Than 90!

'Unique Attraction' In his letter to Cone, Fidler said, "It is the opinion of the Eugene Astronomical Society that a science center on Skinner Butte would be an excellent and unique attraction. It would have no comparison along the Ore gon-Washington freeway except for the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry in Port land, "In addition to a tourist at traction it would ba a valuable asset to the citizens of Lane County, especially to local schools and youth organiza tions." Society member Derald Him- bcr has agreed to donate his 12- mch reflecting telescope, with a value of $1,500 to $2,000 to such a center, Fidler said. Expects Donations' "It would not be necessary for the city of Eugene to pay for the science center," Fidler's let ter said. ". . It is our opinion that if the city merely set aside a plot of ground on Skinner's Butte for this specific purpose, sufficient donations could be ob tained to complete construc tion. Cone has met with an infor mal committee of Eugene busi ness and city officials to dis cuss possible development of the buttc. He has said subcommit tees would study the various facets of development propos als. City Officials Receive Gifts of Korean Diaries Copies of a 1062 Korean photo-dairy have been sent to Mayor Edwin E. Cone and sev eral of Eugene's officials by II Woo Lee, Korea's consul-general at San Francisco. Lee was the city's guest for the observance of the first an niversary of Eugene's sister city program with Chinju, Korea, Jan. 10. The diaries, illustrated with numerous photos of Korea, were sent in appreciation of the city's hospitality, Lee said. C9 Cj( t' i; j. f - 't;, k If You Can Aim This Camera f J r You've Got it Made! M Rewards Playgoers tie curtain calls are an Indi cation, members of the au dience didn't regret braving the snowdrifts and chilly temperatures for the open ing night. Friday night's acting per formances were excellent. From the featured roles to the bit parts, the portrayals were above a layman's crit icism. Cast members with major roles were Karen Higgins, Scott Moir, Irlc White, Dori White, Jane Stevens, J. A. Philips, and George Lauris. The fine supporting cast in cluded Tom Ness, Paula Bon nier, William Gregory, Mich ael Feris, Bill Austin, Mar garet Crnin, Sue Weber, David Bencdctti, Idalah Luria, Jon athan liamcy, Lynn and Laurie Cheatham. White was cast as a prates tant missionary, stationed in the remote wilds of South America for the past 24 years. In these years, he developed his own "world," with its unique culture, traditions, dis cipline, morals and religion, all shared by his wife, Joan, played by Dori White, and his children, portrayed by Miss Higgins, Moir, Miss Stevens and Philips. Into this unusual life comes the minister's nephew, played by George Lauris. He repre sents all the material, "civil ized" things of the outside world. And so the play, allegorical in some aspects, satirical in others, takes the theatergoers into a culture contradicting many "civilized" notions. Hart makes the jungle cul ture more palatable than the modern, outside world. The playwright's theme was certainly ambitious, and inter esting from many viewpoints. But the production had only a short run on Broadway, and has had only two West Coast productions one of them at the UT even though Hart considered the drama as "his most interesting." The play has many fine scenes, several highly memor able characters, moments of deep insight into the prob lems of modern man and some School Registering wur itctteemcrs Lutheran School; 255 Maxwell Rd., is ac cepting registrations for pupils tor tne second semester, begin ning Monday.

It also has moments where Hart contradicts his own mes sage and where situations are obviously contrived. These lat ter scenes have the effect of bringing the playgoer out of his deep fascination with the production and landing him, with a hard bump, back in his UT seat. Even with these deficien cies, however, the play and especially the UT's production of it is more than worth the price of admission. Adding greatly to the pro duction was the fine, imagin ative set, which reminds a UT regular of the great set decoration work in "Brand," "Rashomnn" and "The En chanted." Robert Eggers de signed the set and the lighting. 4 1 mwm&j mmkw wBmimm Hv tiy"v v & . t L I f til 11 SmWS&fia i-I'V. 1 r I? U al V l?-sZZ.
