Prof. Lado
Formulates
SpeechTest
It is now possible to test lan-
guage pronunciation with a writ-
ten examination.
Prof. Robert Lado of the Univer-
sity's English Language Institute
is the originator of a unique test-
ing program in which English pro-
nunciation proficiency can be
measured by pencil and paper
tests.
THE SECRET of Prof. Lado's
test is to apply systematically the
techniques of modern linguistic
science. The testing program is the
first successful written method of
testing English pronunciation of
persons whose native language is
not English, he said.
Previous efforts to apply scien-
tific techniques to testing failed
when investigations in teaching
a second language was made at
the University of Chicago.
Researchers there, working with
$119,000 in funds from the Rocke-
feller Foundation, fell short of
their goal because they found no
effective, practical system of test-
ing oral proficiency.
The University uses Prof. Lado's
tests in a certification program.
Certificates providing documentary
evidence of one's ability to speak
the English language are awarded
to successful candidates, including
prospective students for American
universities, future English teach-
ers and persons intending to travel
in English speaking countries.
The tests consist of several
parts, includingra series of pic-
tures and words with letters
missing.
For example, the pictures de-
picting "house" and "honor" might
appear beside each other. Beneath
the illustrations "-ouse" ' and
"-onor" would appear. The sub-
ject then decides whether the miss-
ing letter, in this case "H," would
have the same sound in both
words.
The University, which is the only
American school working with the
State Department on this project,
received a $5,000 grant from the
Department for the Institute's cer-
tification program.
A WAIT IN VAIN?
100 Coeds Keep League House Vigil

DAILY
OFFICIAL
BULLETIN
By HARRY LUNN
The "early bird" adage may not
prove true for a crowd of eager
coeds who assembled in the early
hours of yesterday morning at the
Administration Bldg. to file appli-
cations for residence in Hobbs
League House next fall.
Arriving as early as 2:30 a.m.,
the coeds kept up their vigil out-
side the building's doors until a
janitor let them in at 6 a.m. By 8
a.m. nearly 100 women had as-
sembled in the lobby.
WITH ONLY nine openings
available in Hobbs House, the only
undergraduate league house serv-
ing three meals a day, coeds were
told that placement would be on a
first come-first serve basis.
"But at no time did we in-
dicate to anyone that there
was need to form a waiting line
before 8 a.m. when the office
opens," declared. Mrs. Elizabeth
A. Leslie, administrative assist-
ant in the Dean of Women's of-
fice.
As a result of yesterday's inci-
dent, placement in Hobbs House
will be held up until Dean of Wom-
en Deborah Bacon returns from a
conference in Chicago, Mrs. Leslie
said.
Dean Bacon is expected back to-
day.
THIRTY-ONE coeds, who dis-
obeyed dormitory rules by leaving
their residences before 6 a.m.,
faced a perplexing dilemma when
it came time to apply for openings
at Hobbs.
Engineers Confer
On Airplane Icing
The Conference on Airplane
Icing Information will hold its
third meeting today with sessions
at 9 a.m., 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. at the
Rackham Amphitheater.
The conference, attended by
over 140 design engineers, test en-
gineers and research engineers in
the aircraft industry and govern-
ment facilities is designed to pro-
vide current technical coverage of
icing technology.
The conference will hold its fin-
al sessions tomorrow.

In order to claim priority for

For some of them the early trip
was futile, as enough women to fillj

Scores of women who applied
for residence in one of the 15 other
undergraduate houses were placed
yesterday.
Asked why they went to all the
trouble to get into a league house,
and Hobbs House in particular,
several irate coeds could only re-
ply "the residence hall system
stinks."

ROBINSON - I vigorously op-
pose the smear tactics of injudici-
ous investigations such as those
which are presently violating prin-
ciples of academic freedom. Teach-
ers and students should be allowed
to hold any opinions and join in
political activities of any kind
which are not subversive in na-
ture or intent.
4) Do you believe that students
and professors who are members
of the Communist Party or Com-
munist-front groups should be
allowed to study or teach at the
University?
ECKERT--Only if they refrain
from advocating Communism.
HATCH-We should not tolerate
Communists in the teaching pro-
fession. On the other hand, we
have no right to bar so-called left-
ist students, who are qualified aca-
demically, from enrolling in the
University.
KENNEDY-Not if they advo-
cate Communism.
ROBINSON-Naturally I do not
believe the University should har-
bor students or teachers who open-
ly advocate the overthrow of the
United States government. How-
ever, there are already laws which
prevent this, and" any student or
teacher who remains within the
boundaries of the law and who
does not use the guise of professor-
ship to disseminate Communist
dogma should be allowed to study
or teach at the University.
5) Do you believe members of
Communist-front groups should
be able to speak on campus?
ECKERT-You seem to have a
great interest in Communists. I
do not believe such groups should
be allowed to use State property to
broadcast their propaganda.
HATCH--The University should
be able to determine which outside
speakers may appear on campus
only in a debate situation. But
complete ban on alleged subversive
speakers is certainly out of place
in an educational, community.
There" are laws to take care of
those who advocate the overthrow
of the government and they should
-be rigidly enforced. But there is
nothing illegal in a public ex-
change of ideas.
KENNEDY-No'
ROBINSON - All University-
recognized student organizations
should have the right to invite any
speaker of their choice to address
their membership. The University
should be responsible for giving
these groups facilities to hold such
meetings. There are already writ-

ECKERT - I think its sphere

HATCH -Student government
should play a greater role in Uni-

Certainly students should be con-
sulted before important decisions
are made which directly affect;
their welfare. Particularly, in such
matters, the recommendations of
the Student Legislature should be

KENNEDY-The whole subject
is now being studied and any com-
ment by me would be premature.
ROBINSON - Students should
be given a more powerful voice in
University decisions. The Student
Legislature, which represents the
largest popular segment on cam-
pus, should be encouraged to pre-
sent its views and decisions on all
student issues directly to the
Board of Regents for discussion.
