Long Shows World Tours 35.000-Mile Trip Includes Jaunts To Many Isles By ANN CARR From the snowbound coa3t of New England to Seattle, Wash ington, by way of Panama, was the course shown by Captain Dwight Long on the screen last night in McArthur court. Captain Dwight left his home in Washington six years ago, when he was 21, and sailed 35,000 miles around the world in a 32 foot sailing vessel, The Idle Hour. This is the smallest craft ever to have completed such a voyage. His Opinion “I did not find what I wanted at the University of Washing ton,” the modem Magellan ex plained, ‘‘and I thought a world cruise at my own speed would be a more liberal education.” At the beginning of his voyage, Captain Long visited Ex-Presi dent Hoover in California, who gave him fishing tackle, and at the end of his trip he showed his pictures to President Roosevelt and family in Washington, D.C. In the course shown on the color film last night, the young voyager went to Bermuda, the Bahamas, Jamaica, Panama, Darien Indian country, Cocos is land, and the Galapagos isles. The film showed such oddities as penguins on the equator, Snaps Show Building Lots Union Sites Investigated A roving reporter went for a ride yesterday. His tour took him to the ball park, to the millrace, round and about the campus, and finally ... to three top-ranking student union sites. Camera in hand and one eye trained as a nose for news, the reporter carefully plotted his course. The story had come to him as an after* thought of his spring ride. Now that he realized his mission he was on the track of “big game.” Setting up his camera happily upon reaching the first site, the photo-reporter adjusted lens, light, and landscape. Then, aim ing straight at the center of his diligent search—he snapped the “trigger.” The result ... a Fiji haircut. After two more tries, search and care were rewarded, and out came the picture of upper left. Central, handy for all occa sions, the actual focal point of student population, the “rover” had attained his first goal. He knew full well the advantages of this location. Not only was it central, it offered large grounds for expansion, upon construction of the next unit of Union. Almost over confident, he packed up camera, pitched into the remaining job with increased zest, and set out anew . . . this time his goal was the trees. Large and small, a part of campus atmosphere on Oregon’s northern extremities, these trees provide the background for the newly-painted, green campus gates. The result of this escapade ap pears in picture number 2. Also a handy location, property entirely owned by the University, this would offer a beautiful sight to parents as in future years they drive up to Oregon’s, by then, “front door.” The photographic-reporting job half completed by this time, across the campus the reporter trotted on his way to Thirteenth and University streets. There he completed the final round of his campus round robin. The Sheldon site, so-called be cause Dr. Sheldon’s home would bound the proposed structure on its southern exposure. The build ing would appear placed as in picture three. This site is handy for heating, (right on central heating line to McArthur court), offers large room for expansion at limited cost, and would fol low through east-west campus expansion plans. His little job completed, the pictures tucked into his camera, the scenarist returned home from the gay spring light to his dark room. There among shadows, and the quiet trickle of developing fluid, he determined to write his story—the story of student union and of sites—of promised build ings—and of promised lands. His story completed, his pic trues developed, he turned in his results. Contented, for the “rov er” had done a big day’s job, he went home. He went home to sleep and dreamed—of student union.

Activity Fills Daily Life Of First Lady Work to Dominate Mrs. Roosevelt’s Visit Wednesday By MILDRED WILSON There won’t be many spare minutes for Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, first lady of the land, when she pays her first visit to Eugene next Wednesday to speak before students on "Cultural Re lationships Between the Ameri can Republics.” For a tentative outline, slight ly imaginary, of her schedule for the day, one must take in to ac count first the writing of her column, "My Day,” which must be sent to the syndicate office. It has never been late since she has been writing her daily expe riences—and she probably won’t let her Eugene visit interfere with her record for promptness. Then there is always a huge stack of letters which must be gone over with the help of the first lady’s secretary, Miss Mal vina Thompson, and the letters also have to be answered. Among other things she has to contend with, even on lecture tours, are the reading of proofs of articles which she has written for various magazines, or per haps the polishing up of a report to be given before some women’s convention. And even a first lady has to eat, and rest occasionally. Of course, the evening will be well taken up with delivering her lecture at McArthur court. Maybe, if she has an extra minute somewhere, she might start another book. Photography Class Hears Explanation Of Tiny Flash Bulbs Paul Lee Auld of Cleveland, Ohio, a demonstrator for General Electric company, talked to news photography students about the merits of the new “midget” type, smaller than a golf ball, flash bulb. Use of flash bulbs for color photography was also explained by Mr. Auld, and he pointed qut that many studios have scrapped cumbersome lights and use mul tiple flash outfits for nearly all pictures. Mr. Auld was accompanied by D. Van Allstyne, General Electric company representative in Port land. Arrangements for the dem onstration were made by George H. Godfrey, head of the Univer sity news bureau. Lawyer-Comedians Judging from the law boys’ antics In their law school weekend spree, And the way they’ve been harass ing All the boys in ROTC.
