radio Network Facilities, Plans ready Extension of UO Hook-up Broadcasts Over KOAC Is Studied by Committee By BUD JERMAIN Extended hours of broadcasting, coverage of the campus by at least four new lines, and probable adequate studio space are prospects in view for next year’s campus broadcasting through KOAC, W. A. Dahl berg, general radio committee chairman, reported yesterday following a meeting held late Thursday. The new setup will give the University an hour a day five days a week, with one extra hour to be used for definitely institutional pro grams Mr. Dahlberg said. This would be an increase of five hours a. week over this year’s arrange ment. The extra hour for institutional programs is a new feature, giving ia full hour each week to such pro grams as student assemblies, com mencement speakers, sports broad casts, or other non-directed pro grams. Funds Arranged The new arrangement, for which funds were authorized by the state hoard at its March meeting, makes an established studio on the cam pus a possibility. Plans are being . made .according to Chairman Dahl berg, to provide a studio on the campus with lines running to Ger linger, McArthur court, the school of music, and Hayward field. The Carnegie room of the music build ing served as a studio this year. Strong support is being given the new activity, Dahlberg said, With President Donald M. Erb scheduled to confer soon with Dean Powers of the extension division. Dean Powers is said to have ex pressed the hope that the Univer sity will at some time in the future ' have as much as three or four hours a day for broadcasting from the campus. Sub-Committee Named The appointment of sub-commit tees on curriculum and programs was announced yesterday, with the general committee standing as final authority as to what consti tutes the radio policy of the Uni versity. All programs broadcast from the campus will be cleared by the general committee, Dahlberg said. Nature of the new radio courses which will aggregate nine hours to ■ be added to the curriculum of the University next year was not dis closed, the courses being still in .the formative stages. 1 HAWAII SUMMER SESSION June 27-Aug. 5 New worlds to conquer . . . new ideas, new thrills in sports.

The student body, however, think the rule is “absurd, because by the time a student reaches junior col lege age, smoking does not consti tute either a moral problem or a sign of delinquency.” Warning ...

'Peer Gynt’ Staged Here In 1913, Records Reveal “Peer Qynt,” Iglco five-star production to be unveiled to the public Tuesday night, is not the first of its name to appear before a Eugene audience as a University presentation, a search of records revealed yesterday. Almost 25 years ago—on June 7, 1913, to be exact—a large gath ering of students and townspeople sat enthralled as they watched the great drama of the year, this same classic by Ibsen, put on by a University cast in a natural amphitheater a mile southwest of Eugene. Outdoor Setting The scene of the production was at a suburb known as “The Braes,” and “everyone who could get there” was there, according to an eyewitness discovered almost simultaneously with the records. Many automobiles failed to get through to their destination, stall ing before they reached it. A clipping of the time says the people gathered "in a natural am phitheater formed by sloping hill sides, with the grass-covered hol low at their bases as a stage and the blue sky overhead as a ceil ing.” Reddie Starred Producer and star of the produc tion was Prof. A. F. Reddie, pred ecessor to Ottilie Turnbull Sey bolt. Reddie took the role of Peer. Other members of the lengthy cast were impossible to identify from the records because of the method of recording names, but one name which stood out on the list as familiar is that of Carlton E. Spencer, of the law school faculty, then assistant editor of the Emerald, who took the part of “A Lean Person.” Two Performances The play had two showings, the first, June 7, for undergraduates who would have left before com mencement June 16, time of the second presentation. Commence ment exercises at that time were held after undergraduates had left for home. The two first acts of the play had also been presented a month before for the Common wealth conference, then in session. Prince Lucien Campbell was then president of the University. Present faculty members on the campus at that time included Eric W. Allen, J. D. Barnett, R. C. Clark, E. E. DeCou, J. H. Gilbert, H. C. Howe, George Rebec, F. G. G. Schmidt, O. F. Stafford, L. L. Stetson, A. E. Caswell, A. R. Sweetser, Mable Holmes Parsons, and Mozelle Hair. Emerald editor was Karl W. Onthank. Files Searched First information of the 1913 presentation was found in the 1915 Oregana, and newspaper clippings in the special collections room at the library supplied the details.
