CMA Colorfully Entertained in Bare Mac Court'
Qreek Troupe Finds Stage 'Familiar'
By DAN WVANT
Of the Resist? r-Giiard
"In Greece," explained Eleni Tsaouli, "we
dance a lot in the city squares. People look
down irom the houses and balconies and
they are all around us."
Accordingly, Hiss Tsaouli's folk dancers
of "Panhellenion" mst have felt at home on
the bare stage of McArthur Court Monday
night.
There, dancing with much of the Civic
Music Assn. audience of more than 4,000
looking down from the basketball court bal
conies, and dancing without stage entrances,
a curtain, or other usual theater facilities,
the troupe put on a colorful, entertaining
show of folk art steeped in the traditions of
centuries of Greek life.
Miss Tsaouli, a dark-haired, vivacious en
thusiast of folk' dance, founded the company
some nine years ago, and is directing its first
American tour with intense interest.
Unlike many large European traveling
troupes, the Greek folk festival has no fi'
nancial backing from its government in its
expensive American tour.
"I'm interested in dancing," Miss Tsaouli
explained. "Not in sitting around tables,
trying to negotiate terms . . . trying to work
out arrangements for help."
To make ends meet, the company has
launched itself into a grueling, 15-week tour
of the United States and Canada, perform
ing six out of every seven nights.
On an average day, the troupe will travel
by bus what is the equivalent of the whole
length of Greece.
Sunday night they played in Seattle,
Wash., and after appearing Monday night in
Eugene they were up and on the road early
Tuesday en route for Reddinf, Calif., their
Tuesday night stop.
Youthful Niko Fartalis, who at the age
of 8 is one of the stars of the troupe, has
been getting the same warm reception in
other cities that he did from Monday night's
audience, Miss Tsaouli said.
The young boy danced several solos, dis
playing complete mastery of the intricate
steps of each dance.
"We didn't find him," Miss Tsaouli said,
"he came to us by himself one day and
asked if he could dance."
Neither of the boy's parents are accom
panying him on the trip.
"But he's got 24 parents every member
of the troupe looking out for him," inter
jected Phillipe de Conville, company man
ager for the troupe.
This is De Conville's second visit to Eu
gene. Last year he managed the Paris ballet
company that appeared in the CMA series.
De Conville observed that a troupe such
as Panhellenion remains- true to the "pure"
folk art it claims to represent. The dances,
costumes, and music are authentic, with noth
ing added to pacify American tastes.
"A few years ago European companies
said they couldn't do this," he noted. "They
felt they had to make changes to please
American audiences. What they gavo us
were stage performances . . . not true folk
art."
Monday night's performance included
dances representing many sections of Greece.
A number of the final dances, from the island
of Crete, were not listed on tho program.
"Every dance tells a story," Miss Tsaouli
noted. "But it is impossible to explain
them all on the program it would be a
whole book."
Musicians, playing a variety of native in
struments, provided the accompaniment for
the dancers and were featured by themselves
in several numbers.
Particularly entrancing was the Cretan
lyre, a small string instrument tucl.ed under
the chin and played with a bow like a violin.
Michalis Stratigis, a farm boy from Crete,
was the performer of this instrument. Used
to getting up at daybreak, he's always wait
ing in tho hotel lobby when the others come
down for breakfast.
At the conclusion of their show, tho danc
ers were warmly applauded then, in turn,
applauded tho audience for their kindness.
The dancers sang two songs as encores
"Never on Sunday" and "Athena."

Speaker Outlines
Proposed Changes
In Naming Judges
Oregon's citizens may have the chance to vote in the next
two to four years on a new method of choosing judges for state
courts.
This possibility was outlined Monday in Eugene by Oregon
Supreme Court Justice-elect Arno H. Denecke.
Denccke, appointed circuit
judge in Multnomah County in
1959, ran for the supreme court
position in the 1962 primary
election and won. He will begin
serving on the high court in
January, although he is already
serving as justice pro tern.
Speaking to some 40 members
of the Eugene Life Underwrit
ers Assn., Denecke said he is
sure that the public wants inde
pendent judges who, at the same
time, are not tyrannical and dic
tatorial. Now, he said the Oregon Con
stitutional Revision Committee
is recommending to the Legis
lature that a different method
be used in selecting and elect
ing members of the judiciary.
The revision committee's
draft, Denecke said, calls for
the governor to make appoint
ments iur an vauanuies in me TTinrr A XI TWKlvntrz?
judiciary, provides for a lay-bar ,U5SEr-tHI;,StE
law commission that will recom- H!'1 Court Jtce-Elect
mend candidates for appointment, and the most drastic change
proposes that, when an appointed judge's term is up, the voters
would vote only on whether to retain the man as judge.
There would be no opposing
candidate.
Under the existing system,
judges run for re-election every
six years, frequently with op
posing candidates.
One Case Cited
While running for re-election
against another candidate is a
check on arbitrariness in a
judge, Denecke said, it also
means that "certain things are
pressed upon them that should
n't be ... If they are not strong
judges, it might affect them."
He cited the case of one
judge running for re-election
who had to sentence a convicted
molester of children. The
judge, because of information
he had about the man's back
ground, was considering plac
ing him on probation but was
worried about community and
newspaper reaction. However,
he went ahead and placed him
on probation, Denecke said.
Not Entirely Happy
There is also the possibility
confronting some judges run
ning for re-election that if they
rule against certain attorneys
on close questions of law, these
attorneys or clients may take an
active role against the judge,
Denecke indicated.
So far, he continued, the Ore
gon State Bar is not entirely
haDDV with the cnanges recom
mended by the Constitutional
Revision Committee. The bar,
voting at the annual conven
tion in Coos Bay, has recom
mended a substitute for the pro
vision that voters choose only
whether or not to retain a
judge.

Expansion
Site Bought
By Goodwill
Lane County Branch of
Goodwill Industries of Oregon
Tuesday announced the pur
chase of a 4 ',4 -acre site on El
mira Road for expansion of the
group's activities.
The purchase of the Ed Jen
sen Implement Company site at
3885 Elmira Rd. was announced
by Elmer E. Cone, chairman of
the advisory committee for the
Lane County Goodwill branch.
Included in the purchase
were a plant building, machine
shop and dwelling. Announced
purchase price was $35,000.
Harold Thorin, manager of the
Lane County Goodwill activi
ties, said that the Jensen com
pany will continue to use about
orte-third of the total 10,000
square feet for some months.
Expansion of Facilities
Purchase of the site, Thorin
said, will allow expansion of
Goodwill's sheltered workshop
facilities, now conducted in a
2,500-square-foot room behind
the retail store at 72 E. 11th
Ave., Eugene.
At present, Thorin said, 30
handicapped men and women
are employed. The new quart
ers, he said, will allow eventual
expansion of the sheltered
workshop to accommodate 100
or more handicapped workers.
Repairs and remodeling of the
buildings on the new site will
begin immediately, Cone said,
and complete transfer of the
sheltered workshop facilities to
the Elmira Road site is expected
to be completed in the next four
to six months.
More Sales Space
Space vacated at the down
town Eugene building will be
used for expanded sales space,
Cone said.
The Lane County Branch of
Goodwill Industries will con
tinue its capital fund drive to
provide money for improve
ments and expansion.
Thorin said $10,000 to $15,000
is still needed to meet the
year's capital fund goal of
$50,000. Total goal for the capi
tal fund campaign is $150,000.

By DON ROBINSON
or the Register-Guard
When a lawyer, doctor, in
surance agent, store proprie
tor, and engineering company
manager begin asking archi
tects about their qualifica
tions for designing new
schools, what sort of ques
tions come up?
This was the situation
Monday night at a five-hour
meeting of the Eugene school
board. The five members of
the board interviewed 11 ar
chitects representing six ar
chitectural firms.
After the interviews the
board did select Wilmsen,
Endicott and Unthank of Eu
gene to design the school
district's eighth junior high
school.
Although a site for the
school has not yet been nam
ed, the project is to be ready
for bidding by July of next
year and ready for occupancy
by the fall of 1964. -
During the interviews Mon
day night several questions
kept recurring:
What do the architects
think about their responsi
bility for supervising a job
during construction?
What do they think
about windowless vs window
wall schools?
Is it belter to build a
sprawling single-story school
or a more compact multi
story one?
How can a school be de
signed to accommodate the
rapid changes in teaching
techniques and educational
methods?
As to the first question, all
the architects agreed that
they have some responsibility
for supervising a job and
pushing the contractor along.
One said that if it were not
for architects doing so, the av
erage time of completion
would' be about 30 per cent .
longer than it is.
Another remarked, "Hold
ing a contractor to a predeter
mined time schedule is real
difficult. There are too many
variables. I don't know what
the solution is."
One architect said he ad
vised his. private clients to
choose from a selective list of
contractors for bidding the
jobs. "This is not necessarily
tho least expensive way, but
it avoids a lot of trouble,'' he
said. He acknowledged that
the school board as a public
agency is not able to follow
this practice.
One architect remarked that
contractors could use an "ex
pediter" or a hired employe
who can ramrod the work.
And still another said flatly
that the architect has to be

The Springfield Chamber ot

Some 20.000 Emerald Empire

the largest Christmas parade
in the city s history.
According to parade officials
first, second and third place

"hard nosed" not only with
the contractor but with the
client or owner when the
owner is making unreason
able demands.
The question of the need
for exterior windows "How
much of the great outdoors
do you have to let into a
classroom?" brought a va
riety of responses.
Most of those interviewed
said evidenco today, shows
that it is not as necessary as
has been thought in the past
to have classroom windows
opening on the out-of-doors.
But ono architect dissented
strongly from this view, ar
guing that the psychological
effect of a room without win
dows is not pleasant.
None of thoso interviewed
were very enthusiastic about
the idea of building up rather
than out when asked about
the relative advantages of
multiple-story buildings.
They frequently cited the
added expense of making a
two-story building conform to
fire safety codes. And they
pointed to disadvantages in
the necessity or non-classroom
space and in difficulty
of dealing with acoustical
problems.
All the architects acknow
ledged the challenge of ad
justing school design to meet
educational needs that are in
a state of flux. The need for
"flexible" room arrangements
is one of the greatest chal
lenges. Along this line there was
some discussion of the kinds
of partitions to put between
classrooms, A school repre
sentative said experience in
Eugene has shown that in
some instances no partition is
needed, Classes can bo con
ducted at opposite ends of an
undivided room without dis
turbing one another. This
situation has limits, the rep
resentative noted, since it is
not always possible to sched
ule classes or activities that
are "compatible" In the same
room.
