Dial System Installation IN ears Finish Company Says System ill Give Belter Campus Service Administration Building To Be Central Office Four hundred pairs of cables are being laid to serve the entire cam pus in a private exchange dial telephone service, which in the opinion of J. L. Bland, manager of the Eugene office of the Pa cific Telephone and Telegraph company, will give the University better service in every way. This net work will connect about 169 telephones in the various buildings to the underground sys tem, which will terminate in the central office in the basement of the administration building. Dial System Used This is a dial system which will allow a call to be made from any telephone on the campus to any of the various University buildings without going through the downtown central office. The operator in the administra tion building will handle only calls from outside the campus, coming from the Eugene central office,. as all calls within the campus will work automatically. When a call is placed by anyone on the campus for any one else in any of the University buildings, the switching apparatus in the admin istration building will function so that the number dialed will auto matically ring the bell of the sta tion desired. Out-cail System Varies While all incoming calls, that is those from townspeople and long distance, will be handled by the operator in the administration building, all outgoing calls, that is, those that must go through the Eugene central office, may be made directly by dialing the digit 9, which will call the central girl downtown, just as taking the re ceiver down would now. It will be possible to call the operator in the administration building sim ply by dialing the digit 0. At present there are about four men installing equipment in the administration building, three ca ble splicers, three assistants, one supervisor, and about eight men digging trenches. It is expected the new system will be completely installed by the middle of May. 3200 will be the new University number. CORBETT VISITS HERE; ATTENDS NOON LUNCH (Continued from Pape One) the purpose of the Public Service Commission. He wanted to know about the University. He asked about fraternity life. While he was talking, an old acquaintance came up and introduced himself. They had played football together years ago at the old Portland, academy. He began talking foot- j ball, telling how, back in the days I when he attended Harvard, the1 coaching had been very inferior, and that.it was not until several years later that specialized coach ing was introduced. Corbett In the “Soup” Running for governor is his job, ; and he goes about it in the same way that he would handling a business deal. He is not too se rious, and yet he is interested in the progress his workers and cam Bryson Recital Well Liked Poise and Perfect Control of Breath Is Noted By GRACE BCBNETT The recital of Roy Griffin Bry son, baritone and instructor on the faculty of the school of music, 1 took place last flight at the Music auditorium before an appreciative audience. Mr. Bryson’s interest ing program, containing widely contrasting numbers, was most enjoyable'. John Stark Evans, also of the school of music faculty, was at the piano. The first group, three early Italian songs, showed Mr. Bryson's poise and perfect control of breath. The sprightly “Per la Gloria d’Adorarvi,” by Bononcini, was especially well done. Four lamiliar and well-loved songs by Brahms made up the sec ond group. The “Sapphische Ode” Mr. Bryson sang with depth of feeling and excellent taste. His enunciation in the German is sharp and clear. The quiet, plaintive tone of the songs in the Franz group are par ticularly suited to Mr. Bryson's voice. Two of the songs by Schu bert. “Am Meer” and "Der Wan ! derer," were excellently done, and marked by greater animation than ! the preceding songs. As an en ! core to this group Mr. Bryson sang “Hat Dich Die Liebe Beruht,” by Marx, a modern German com poser. John Stark Evans, Mr. Bryson's accompanist, gave the singer ex cellent support. His playing was sympathetic and never too heavy for Mr. Bryson's voice. fore seating himself, came over to speak to Corbett. Corbett rose to shake hands with the lanky cen sus man, and in so doing his coat tail happened to dip in his bowl of soup. He wiped it off, looked up with a rather amused expres sion on his face and said, “Well, I may be in the soup now, and if I am after the primaries, things will be fine.” He did pin himself down to se rious facts later on, though. When asked what his views of the place of the state university should hold in the state, he' was glad to talk. He believes that much depends on the wise and libera! support of the state institutions. He thinks that the University should not only serve the state as a training ground, but should be the research center for many of its problems. He believes it should be the lab oratory, where economic difficul ties are solved. Many Appointments Hinge The thought of the power given the governor in some 160 appoint ive offices seemed^to awe the can didate somewhat. Especially so, “when,” he said, “one knows that the whole educational system is either directly or indirectly af fected by appointments on, for in stance, the Board of Higher Edu cation.” His weeks of strenuous cam paigning had seemingly tired him. and he was leaving in the evening for his home, where he hoped to get a few days’ rest, before cen tering his activities on Multnomah county.

Starting with “Montana Moon” at the McDonald with the vivacious Joan Crawford, we pass on to “The Great Divide” at the Colonial, whose heroine, Dorothy Mackaill, is hard to beat, then, too, “The Wagon Master" at the State with Ken Maynard, and finally to “Hell's Heroes,” a Rex attraction. The only non-western, and even that features horses, is “The Hot tentot,” at the Heilig. What Ed ward Everett Horton does in that picture is “Hey, Hey” for every body’s funny bone. | Chemistry Award To Be Continued — , Yeast Company Fellowship Reeipient To Leave According to word just received by Doctor Roger J. Williams, of the chemistry department, the fel lowship, which for the past two years has been supported by the Fleischman Yeast company, will be again continued for the coming year. Last year the Fleischman company with the Royal Baking Powder company formed a merger and there was'some doubt as to whether or not the fellowship would be continued. The fellowship for the past two years was held by Richard R. Roehrn. His research has been on the nutrition of yeast in relation to vitamins. He will go to Colum bia university this summer to work for his doctor’s degree. Professor Williams has not yet announced who will receive the fellowship next year. 1 .Jl .C.A.

COLONIAL Two Just-Publislied Preludes Played in Underwood Recital By LOIS NELSON Being “in on" the initial pre sentation of some new contribu tion to culture is likely to give an audience a sort of pleasant “chum my” feeling with the arts. At least, it was a pleasing experience for the large audience which heard a most charming piano recital Wednesday evening at the music auditorium, given by Aurora Pot ter Underwood. Mrs. Underwood used two just published preludes on the aura modal scale by Thomas Vincent Cator, who had played his compo sitions in the manuscript for Mrs. Underwood and several other Uni versity musicians this summer at his home in Carmel, California. She resorted to that agreeable cus tom of explaining, informally, the background of the new music, which was delicate and poetic in vein. Apparently its newness was appreciated in varying degrees by listeners, some of whom were deeply thrilled by the California composer. The great brilliancy with which Mrs. Underwood plays was a chief reason for the enjoyment of the evening. As she played the Schulz-Evler concert arabesques on "The Beautiful Blue Danube" by Johann Strauss she showed particularly the amazing fluency of her technique. Her runs were light as rain-drops and she almost “CANOEING IN THE j CANADIAN FAR NORTH’’ j Lecture Bv i DEAN REBEC , MONDAY, APRIL 21 8 P. M. I Central Presbyterian Church j Admission 25c skimmed the piano with a vital clear touch. Of her interesting Chopin groups there was probably chief interest in the F Minor fantasie in which Mrs. Underwood displayed real power and eloquence. The C major etude again demonstrated her technique and her interpreta tion of the polonaise in E-flat mi nor was particularly interesting. In the intenseness of his imag ination, Debussy suggests a sort of translucent quality. One felt it distinctly, last night, as the Eu gene musician played the lovely “L'isle Joyeuse." A defiant sort of thing, with a dramatic gesture at its close was the Etude de Con cert, of Blanchel, another modern, which Mrs. Underwood played with fine spirit. Her whole program was an ex ceptionally difficult one, the per formance of which qualified her as a musician of rare ability.
