Great Decisions
To Start in State
Early in Month
Oregon's annual review of
main issues in American for
eign policy will start in Feb
ruary when residents of 27
counties will meet in "Great
Decisions" discussion groups.
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.

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

month to present petitions to

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,

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.

Bodenweiser estimated that

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.
