Robert D. Heffernan of Med ford is Jackson county chair man. Early reports indicate that more study groups are being formed this year than in 1959 when some 6,000 Oregonians discussed current topics in more than 400 groups. The program also is carried by high school social studies classes and each issue is re viewed by Oregon newspa pers, television and radio sta tions. Mrs. Mabel Mack, assistant director of Oregon State col lege extension service and co chairman of the state Great Decisions program, stressed the importance of Americans understanding the full range of international problems they face. Arriv at Opinion She pointed out that Great Decisions groups give partici pants an opportunity to study facts and arrive at an inform ed opinion. Group members study fact sheet material pre pared by the Foreign Policy association (FPA) and discuss one key issue each week for an eight-week period. Sets of fact sheets and extra ballots may be secured in each coun ty from the Great Decisions chairman. At the end of each discus sion, participants will record their opinions on individual ballots. Summary of' ballots cast in Oregon will be sent to FPA as well as ballots from the 43 other states participat ing in the Great Decisions program. State and national summaries will be forwarded to the U.S. state department. Information about the 1960 Great Decisions program is available from county Great Decisions chairmen and coun ty extension agents. In Oregon, Great Decisions is cosponsored by Oregon State college extension serv ice and the general extension division of the state system of higher education in coop ration with the FPA, the state department of education, state library, and some 25 statewide organizations. 35th Production of Passion Play To Be Presented in Germany By JOHN A. CALLCOTT United Prtss International Oberammergau, Germany (UPD - Anton Preisinger often goes, into the mountains, by day or at night, to contem plate. "I go away to avoid the crowds. I read the Bible. I try to remove myself from or dinary life," he says. Preisinger, 47,. will enact the role of Christ when the famous. Oberammergau Pas sion Play is presented here in the Bavarian Alps this year. It will be the 35th production of the play since 1634. Oberammergau is prepar ing to accommodate as many as 800,000 visitors for per formances during the season that runs from mid-May through September. Rehearsals of the eight hour play started a couple of months ago. Preisinger, a ho tel owner and the father of four children, played the role of the Savior in tho last pro duction in 1950. "When I am alone in the mountains I try to imagine how Christ would have acted in pain, in distress, with deep humility. I think that no one was ever more human than Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane. This is the most difficult scene in the play." Equally Serious Other villagers are equally serious about preparing for their roles. Few of them have heard of the Stanislavsky method of acting, whereby ac tors strive to "live" their roles, but most of them prac tice it anyhow. "We consider spiritual preparation just as important as learning the words," says Johann Lang, director of the play. "All of those in the cast prepare themselves by read ing the Bible, and by asking our priest for guidance through the Lord." Lang says the play will be particularly difficult for Irm gard Dengg, a 21-year-old stenographer who will play the role of Mary, the Holy Mother. "This is the first time she has had a part in the play, and it is perhaps the most difficult part next to that of Christ," he says. The cheerful Miss Dengg is sure she will manage. "I find the words I have to learn are alone enough to give me con fidence." - Hans Schweighofer, 39, will repeat his 1950 role as Judas, Sororities, Frats Told to Get Cflcfl off EDEScromfinatBon Portland - 0JPD - The State Board of Higher Education Tuesday told fraternities and sororities to get rid of dis crimination and also raised fees effective, with the com ing summer session. The Board adopted a state ment which calls for aboli tion of fraternity and sorority charter provisions which dis criminate on the basis of race or religion. The statement was propos ed by Allan Hart, Portland lawyer and board member. It said the Board "regards as unacceptable" discriminatory provisions in the charters of some fraternities and sorori ties at Oregon and Oregon State. Reports Asked It added, "The Board hopes the efforts of the Oregon chapters will be successful so that the Board will not have to consider the advisability of taking steps to reinforce these efforts." Dr. A. L. Strand, president of Oregon State, said he be lieved a "small proportion" of the Greek letter societies contained these provisions. Chancellor John R. Richards Adlai Releases His Barber, Jim Drew Springfield, Ill.-flJPD-Barber Jimmy Drew, who used to cut Adlai E. Stevenson's hair and a long-time supporter of Ste venson for president, got this note from the former Illinois governor Tuesday: "I hear you are still for me for president. Bless you, my dear friend. But you have suf fered enough and I release you herewith." Drew waited 36 hours out side' a filing office early this month to present petitions to become a Democratic conven tion delegate for Stevenson. reported a "very serious sit uation" among some of the societies. Presidents of Oregon and OSC were directed to report on the situation. The new fee schedule will raise incidental fees at Ore gon, Oregon State and Port land State $5 for a total of $95 a term. Colleges of education will increase $5 in the incidental fee to $78 a term. Oregon Tech will increase $5.40 a term in the incidental fee and $7 in. the building fee to a total of $95 a term. The medical and dental schools will have a reduction of $6 in lab and course fee and increase of $11 in inci dental fee to a $206 per term total. Frank Bennett, president of Eastern Oregon, asked per mission to offer a two-year course in farming. The Board will act on it later. Pill Helps Calm School Children Detroit-flJPD-If teacher com plains your child can't seem to sit still in class, a pill might help. Physicians at the Chil dren's Center of Metropolitan Detroit found that 31 of 40 children between the ages of 5 and 11 who had been al most hopelessly unruly calm ed down when given Dextro amphetamine. Scientists called their fidg ets "hyperkinetic impulse disorder." "There is evidence that up to 2 per cent of the school age population from 5 to 11 present this problem," said Dr. Hunter H. Qpmly, direc tor of the Children's Center. The Center tried , out the drug with the consent of the children's parents, who ad ministered it. - a rather thankless task. "Of course, in the village every one knows me," he says. "But the peasants from other vil lages stare at me and shake their heads and say, 'Oh, there he is.' " Cast of 1.400 Hundreds of men in Ober ammergau are letting their hair grow long and beards are appearing on their chins. The cast of 1,400 is drawn from townspeople to present the play which relates the story of Jesus from His entry into Jerusalem to His crucifixion and resurrection. The Passion Play originated in 1633 when the Black Death killed 84 Oberammergau vil lagers. The village council agreed "to perform every 10th year a play of the Sav ior's bitter suffering and death if God would deliver us from our dire plight." Oberammergau's chronicle relates that no one was strick en with the plague after the pledge was taken. The play was performed for the first time the following year. Performances of the play in 1960 will start at 8:15 a.m. and end at 6 p.m. with an hour off for lunch. Members of the cast are paid the amount they lose by leaving their regular jobs. PASSION PLAY For the 35th time since 1634 the Oberammergau Passion Play will be presented in the Bavarian Alps near Oberammergau, Germauy, this year. The cast of 1,400 is drawn from townspeople to present the play which relates the story of Jesus from His entry into Jeruslem to His crucifixion and resurrection. Anton Pres singer, right, will play Jesus; the role of Mary will be played by Irmgard Dengg, and Judas will be played by Hans Sehwaighofer, left. (UPI Telephoto) Quarantine Placed On Baker County Salem-fUPD-The Oregon De partment of Agriculture an nounced Tuesday afternoon it has quarantined all of Baker county for cattle because of cattle scabies. The infection probably was introduced into the state through a purchase of ap parently healthy cattle six weeks ago, the Department said. No beef or dairy cattle of any age will be allowed to move out of the county ex cept on written permit of an authorized veterinarian until the order is lifted. State Veterinarian L. E. Bodenweiser estimated that NO CENSUS Chile has never conducted a national census. about 100 herds may have been exposed in the Baker county outbreak, first major one in Oregon for many years. Dr. Bodenweiser reported that cattle scabies is spread ing nationally. Auto Makers Asked To Extend Plans Washington-UPD-Sen. Rich and Neuberger (D-Ore.) urged auto makers to extend to other states anti-smog devices they plan to install on all cars sold in Californi begin ning with next year's models. "What about the rest of us?" Neuberger asked. "Why shouldn't the health-protecting advantages of this new de vice be extended to those liv ing in Portland, New York, and Miami as well as San Francisco, Sacramento and Los Angeles." Neuberger said his state ment was prompted by re ports from industry research ers that they have perfected an inexpensive device which would provide a 40 per cent reduction in pollution pro duced by auto exhaust. The senator said the de vice involves a system of pip ing and valves which feeds the crank case gases back into the engine at a point below the carburetor.
