THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 1953- PAGE TWO THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 1953 ________________________________________ I I 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 * * * * .1 s 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. -Daily-Don Campbell COEDS CROWD ADMINISTRATION BLDG. LOBBY * * * '* In order to claim priority for the vacancies, they had to ad- mit being in line well before 6 a.m. and thus might face Wom- en's Judiciary action. For some of them the early trip was futile, as enough women to fillj the vacancies had gathered at the. building's entrance by 3:30 a.m. Surprised University officials and employees found nearly 100j coeds in the lobby playing cards, I * * * chatting and listening to the ra- dio when they arrived for work at 8 a.m. 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."

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- OTTO E. ECKERT DR. CHARLES S. KENNEDY Rut hven Cites '' Progress University President - Emeritus Alexander G. Ruthven said yes- terday on his 73rd birthday, that he was "well pleased" witflnel University's progress. Ruthven, who retired in June 1951, said he thought higher edu- cation an the country had reached a greater level than ever before' "I am very pleased that the Uni- versity continues to lead the way, both in teaching and research," he added. Looking into the future, Presi- dent Ruthven predicted there were "difficult times" ahead, but that "barring national or interna- tional catastrophe, student enroll- ment will far exceed what we.have now." jTeaching Hopefuls To Be Interviewed George Baker, personnel director of Detroit public schools will in- terview prospective teachers in a general meeting at 4 p.m. today in 1025 Angell Hall.

HATCH -Student government should play a greater role in Uni- versity affairs than at present. 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 given strong consideration.

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. 80CNE Ph. 3-5651 TOMORROW Jean Cocteau's Erotic Drama "THE STRANGE ONES" - FRIDAY! 11 Today & Friday She rule \ \ on uttw :: 1010m Y a- I i 4 A CTEI ' o.
