Phones: Systems fail at 95 degrees ■ Continued from Page 1 The systems begin to fail at 95 degrees. “Nobody experienced any ser vice loss of any kind,” Tarlton said. According to Tarlton, the air conditioner failure was nearly a “disaster,” but was unavoidable. The problem was purely mechan ical. “It could be real serious,” he said. “There could be some long term challenges.” Tarlton said the machines could have experienced physical damage and would have needed new parts, which would have thus taken time to fix. Tarlton does not know if the systems, which serve all of the approximately 7,000 University telephone stations, have had sim ilar problems in the past. The Physical Plant had fixed the problem by 8 a.m. and began cooling the room. The avoidance of disaster can be directly linked to the efficien cy of the emergency process used at OPS, Tarlton said. The problems happened only months before the University will be receiving a new telephone sys tem. ccIt could be real serious. There could be some long term challenges. Aaron Tarlton Telecom Services Operations Manager A new system that will use only one-fourth of the space will be installed in March. Tarlton said users will not no tice the change other than up grades, which will include caller ID. Funding: CAS receives bulk of money ■ Continued from Page 1 Upham said. “We’re considered a middle sized university in terms of our research support,” Sindtner said. Meanwhile, other research uni versities like University of Wash ington, The Johns Hopkins Uni versity and MIT get hundreds of millions, she said. The College of Arts and Sci ences receives the bulk of the funds. Natural science depart ments get a little over 50 percent of the money, Sindtner said. “The College of Education gets a quarter of our funding, and they’re one of the best funded col leges of education in the nation,” she added. Sindtner stressed the impor tance of the professors who apply for these research grants. “The professors apply — they deserve all the credit. Our office is simply the administrative re view office,” she said. Play: ‘Dragon’ is for family audiences, author says ■ Continued from Page 1 the May showing of “Ever the Dragon,” believes that the fall tour will draw quite a crowd — especially because of the ticket price. “Our fee is zero dollars, so it really makes [the show] accessi ble to lots of people,” Gilg said. “It’s a play for family audi ences — all ages,” Velasco said. Velasco began working on the play last summer and completed it around February. The University Theatre tour will include stops in Bend, Cor vallis, Florence, Hood River, La Grande, La Pine, Newport, Red mond and Roseburg. “Ever the Dragon” will also be revived in the fall at Robinson Theatre, Velasco said. □ o ▼EMERALD The Oregon Daily EmeraU is published daily Monday through Friday during the school year and Tuesday and Thursday during the summer by the Oregon Daily Emerald Publishing Co.
