Basic Training Conditions Draftee

everyone is aroused out of his
sleep and ordered to "sit up and
look alive."
Even in basic training a man
needs equipment, and by the time
a recruit is in the army for a
reasonable length of time, he is
supposed to have all the supplies
he needs and then some. For some
reason, exception is taken to this
by the Fighting, Frozen Forty-
Fifth.
* * *
MANY OF US were given less
than half our equipment. The big-
gest items which continued to be
missing from the company were
packs, web belts, ponchos and
first aid packets. In fact, these de-

ficiencies seemed to be common to
the entire Fourth Army.
There was nothing so drastic
about the absence of these items
except when we went on a hike
and were expected to bring full
field equipment. Carrying two
blankets and one half a pup
tent with only a rope was not at
all agreeable to my shoulders
after a mile or two.
Supplies in camp were sadly
lacking, too. When we first ar-
rived, we were without footlockers
for almost a month, and were is-
sued only one sheet. National
Guardsmen, however, lived in the
comfort of two sheets and a pil-
low case.

Originally conceived as an
unique approach to a Holy Week i
prayer service, "The Story of thez
Lamb" has lead Dabney Mont-1

to undertake annually a major re-
ligious project.t

Hillel Group
Will Present
'OedipusRex'
"Oedipus Rex," by Sophocles,,
will be presented at 8:30 p.m. to-
day in the Lane Hall Auditorium
by the Hillel Play Reading Group.
Sophocles' work is the first in
a series of plays with religious or
moral meanings to be presented
by the group, according to founder
Philip Pinkus, Grad. "One thing
we want made clear," Pinkus de-
clared, "is that we are.not acting
out these plays. They will be read
in a presentational manner."
* * *
ROSLYN MENDELL, Grad., has
directed the play. In the main
parts willbe WillBooth, Grad., as
Oedipus; Lois Abrams, '52SM, as
Jocasta; Dennis Wepman, '54, as
Creon; and Milton Levin as Teire-
sias.
The chanting of its part by
the chorus will be a special fea-
ture of this presentation. "We
tried it as an experimentand it
worked out so well we decided
to do it that way," Pinkus said.
"This is really a partial return
to the way the choric parts were
originally presented," he ex-
plained. "In the Greek theatre
the chorus performed extremely
stately dance steps as they chant-
ed their parts."
Eiht Survive in

vanced to the semi-final round of

originator, producer a n d sole
speaking actor in the Easter nar-
rative play, initially gave it two
years ago at a prayer meeting at
Livingston College in Alabama.
THE CONGREGATION'S reac-
tion to the play, which will be
produced at 7:30 p.m. today in
Pattengill Auditorium, was so good
that Montgomery was asked to re-
peat it at a church a few days
later.
Since that time he has put on
the performance three times, on
each occasion presenting it for
the benefit of some needy or-
ganization.
The performance today is spon-
sored by -the Wesleyan Guild to
raise money for the Guild's Dis-
placed Persons fund.
A MAN who believes in living
his role, Montgomery has estab-
lished the practice of living by
the seven last words of Christ dur-
ing the period he practices for his
performances.
To follow his creed, he limits
himself to one glass of water
for a ten day period before a
showing, wears a Biblical look-
ing wig and gives away the pay
check he receives duringHoly
Week to some needy charity.
In addition, he is fasting today
in preparation for his enactment
of the holy story.
Montgomery takes on six roles
during the course of the play,
playing a shepherd, Judas, his
mother, Peter, Macy Magdalene,
and the mother of Jesus.
Tickets for the performance are
60 cents and can be purchased at
the Pattengill box office before
the show.
