Air Research (Continued from fac/e one) fusing to purchase and maintain equipment, has surrendered its birth right to KOAC and the Oregon State College of Engineering.” To date the University has purchased one Stromberg-Carlson ampli fying unit—cost: $65, according to Krenk. In’addition, the University was given $239.04 by Eugene Station KORE. The component parts of a sound truck were purchased with this fund. This equipment' has been freed from restrictive controls of KOAC. The remaining equip ment—a Western Electric mixer, four miscrophones, etc., is controlled and operated by KOAC. This existing equipment is sufficient for adequate instruction in radio broadcasting for students, Krenk believes. , “On a good night, operating under all of the existing limita tions, the University broadcast “Campus Headlines,” will be heard by 200,000 people in Oregon. Tills is a considerable audience to insult with poor technical equipment, snarled policies, and no budget! All radio broadcasts originated at the University reach in audience, at the lowest estimate, of 90,000 people per week. What other medium of eommantcation used by the University reaches (Ids number of people weekly?” Krenk asked. The production director accused the University of being content to go along with the problem of radio taking no active part in developing a 'onstruetive instructional and broadcasting schedule. He pointed to radio broadcasts by University students unfamiliar v h radio over some network stations, uncontrolled by the University. Hysterical Hot-Bed “Frequently, the University is presented as a hot-bed of question able purposes and practices, with a hysterical student body and neu rotic ideals. Thousands hear the broadcast and assess the University |>y what they hear. It is a debacle of technical distortion and pro gi ira slop. My students in radio are apt to be criticized for such per formance when in fact they have not been involved. My work is apt to be criticized when in fact I have had nothing to do with the broad cast. The University should certainly prevent such cross-purpose, by channelling all broadcasts through one office, even as it handles the ne vs," Krenlc suggested. Will Resign Although Krenlc intends to resign from his position, for the gen si.il welfare of the University as a whole and of students interested in radio in particular, he made the following recommendations: I. That the University purchase, maintain, and operate its :)\vn equipment, and thus control its own policies. The cost would approximate $5000 for technical equipment to provide students a good sound laboratory for instruction and broadcasting. 2. That tliv University employ a full-time technician to maintain ar t operate equipment. 3. That the University release its programs to any or ail sta tions desiring this service, whether commercial or educational. 4. That a budget be appropriated for radio instruction and broad er.ding. Sound effect records, music records, and script royalties ir. ist be paid for if the University is to be heard to advantage, and if si idents in radio are to receive adequate instruction for employment in Oregon radio stations. That the problem of what to do with students seeking a radio major lie straightened out. Giving them an Knglisli major oilli a speech option, or a speech major with a radio option is not satisfactory. Kienk said he had presented his suggestions to the administration s > •oral times, but to tiis knowledge no action lias been taken to refuse or grunt his requests. President H. K. Newburn said Tuesday that lie had the radio prob lem under consideration but was not prepared to make further com i: id at this time. - k 'Joan of Lorraine'■ Haiis Praise In Opening Night Performance By LeJEUNE GRIFFITH A formal first night Friday in troduced the much-talked-about Maxwell Anderson piay, “Joan of Lorraine,” to University theater audiences. The production was a triumph for Edwin L. Clark, tech nical director of University thea ter, who made his Oregon debut as a director with this production. The play was an interesting treatment of an old theme, but the play as written leaves much to be desired. It is actually a play within a play, being the rehearsals by a New York theatrical com pany of “Joan of Lorraine.” Mary Hoch, as the actress Mary Grey who play3 Joan, performed h e r taxing role with great success. She was at her best in the prayer scenes and scenes as a little girl William T. Countryman Jr. shared honors with liis portrayal of Mas ters, the director and exponent of things philosophical. Alan Button, a newcomer to Guild hall, was exceptionally good as the Dauphih and shows consid erable promise. John Moore as | Beauvois deserves mention, as does Eugene Deutschman as the stage manager, Norman Weekly as the poet, Richard Rayburn as Tremoille, and Keith Cockburn as the Archbishop of Rheims. The play was staged without benefit of scenery except for make shift properties. After the novelty of the plain backdrop wore off, the eyes became a little tired of looking at such a stark, unbroken scene. The play as written is quite un satisfactory. It asks many ques tions, which it fails to answer con vincingly. It is far too wordy, in fact, it is all talk and practically no action. The treatment was novel and timely, and notwithstanding the handicaps of the play itself, the pro duction is provocative and well worth seeing. It will play May 28, 29, 30, and 31. 1 Irving Berlin made exactly 33 cents on the first song he wrote. MARY HOOH . . .
