UNKNOWN LANGUAGE:
'U' Professor Analyzes Elamite
By GAIL GOLDSTEIN ..'
Trying to analyze an ancient
language is not an easy job.
Elamite, a language of the Near
East that it not related to any
other known language, is just one
problem that Prof. Herbert H.
Paper of the Department of Near
Eastern studies is interested in.
Understood By Eight
According to Prof. Paper, Ela-
mite has been neglected by schol-
ars and there are only about eight
people in the world at all ac-
quainted with it. Linguists are
now concentrating on trying to
establish the meanings of many
Elamite words so more informa-
tion on the civilization which used
it may be forthcoming.
In 1951-52 Prof. Paper was able
to work on the project first hand.
He went to Iran on a Fulbright
and worked with French archeolo-
gists who were excavating at Susa.
There he was able to examine
Elamite inscriptions on baked
bricks as they were discovered in
the diggins. Since then, the direc-
tor has continued to send Prof.
Paper photographs and squeezes
made out of liquid latex for study.
Usually the study of this ancient
language is done from photo-
graphs published of hand-drawn
copies of specimens of the inscrip-
tions. From these it may be pos-
sible to work out the grammer
of Elamite and also obtain some-
thing of the history of the lang-
uage.
Studied Latin, Greek, Chinese
As an undergraduate student
at the University of Colorado,
Prof. Paper studied Latin and
Greek. While in the Army he
was assigned to study Chinese,
presumably to ready him for serv-
ice as an interpreter, although the
Army never used him as an in-
terpreter after his training was
completed.
Out of the service in 1946, Prof.
Paper studied linguistics at the
University of Chicago and receiv-
ed his advanced degrees there. He
also studied cunieform at the Or-
obs Available
For Seniors
Seniors are urged to turn in
registration blanks for post-grad-
uation employment as soon as pos-
sible, T. Luther Purdom, direc-
tor of the Bureau of Appointments
said yesterday.
Several employers from busi-
ness, industry, schools and other
areas are seeking seniors for jobs.
Because of senior's laxity in re-
turning registration forms and re-
ference letters, the Bureau of Ap-
pointments cannot produce stud-
ents' qualifications for prospective
employers, Purdom noted.
Registration is not compulsory
for most students. However, sen-
iors in education school are re-
quired to enroll at the Bureau
of Appointments before a teach-
ing certificate will be granted,
Mildred Webber of the Bureau of
Appointments commented.
Prompt action will aid more
careful and favorable placement,
and will avoid last minute confus-
ion, Miss Webber added.
Located in Rm. 3528 Admin-
istration Bldg., the Bureau of Ap-
pointments is open from 9 to
noon and from 2 to 4 p.m. Mon-
day through Friday.
Prof. Lahti
A ddresses
Consumers
"Design is always a prediction-
a product for the future."
Speaking at the third session
of the conference on the American
consumer, Prof. Aarre K. Lahti,.
acting chairman of the art de-
partment of the College of Archi-
tecture and Design, said refine-
ment differences in design rather
than obvious differences must be
recognized.
Design research can best make
use of student opinion for this
group, Prof. Lahti said, as it is
most objective in its attitudes, be-
ing relatively unaffected by econ-
omic factors.
Arleigh C. Hitchcock, a furni-
ture company sales representative,
said that consumers 'are willing
to pay more for superior designs,
but noted that the manufacturer
must have integrity in producing
"good" design.
"The future of consumer design
is marriage of consumer research
and inner artistry," said Donald
Dailey, vice-president of product
planning at a refrigerator com-
pany.
In the afternoon session devoted
to the problem of the unitized kit-
chen, discussion was based on the
value of designing the complete
kitchen, compared to separate
parts.
The two-day conference was un-
der the auspices of the art de-
partment of the College of Archi-
tecture and Design and the In-
stitute of Contemporary Art in
Boston .
Letter Sent
To Gardner
Stirs Aetion
(Continued from Page 1)
They suddenly discovered they
had "forgotten their guns." The
sound of their sirens followed them
back to the station fortheir weap-
ons. Meanwhile, ambulances had
arrivedealso accompaniedby si-
rens, to take Peterson to the hospi-
tal. By that time the officers, hav-
ing armed themselves, came dash-
ing back to the scene of the crime.
"It Wasn't Boggie"
Peterson lived long enough to tell
his daughter who had attacked him.
Gardner writes, "Suffice it to say
that this name was not the name
of Clarence Boggie, nor could that
name at any time ever be connect-
ed in any way with him."
There was nothing to connect
Boggie with Peterson's murder. In
the course of the investigation, po-
lice picked up a suspect who was
identified by witnesses, but later
announced this man had a perfect
alibi. Another witness had seen
the man some distance from Peter-
son's shack "at the time the si-
rens went by."
"What sirens?" Gardner wanted
to know. The police assumed he
meant the sirens on their way to
answer the frenzied phone calls of
Peterson's neighbors and released
the suspect.
Approximately two years later
Boggie was arrested for the mur-
der of Moritz Peterson.
(Tomorrow: Trial, conviction,
pardon)
The Stanley Quartet will pre-
sent the fifth concert in the com-
plete Beethoven Cycle of String
Quartets at 3:30 p.m. tomorrow
in the Rackham Lecture Hall.
Started on October 3, the series
will conclude Jan. 9 with the
playing of Quartet in C minor,
Quartet in B-flat major and the
Great Fugue.
"Since the days of Joseph Joa-
chim, the performance of the en-
tire cycle has been the supreme
challenge for any string-quartet
organization," Prof. Hans T. Dav-
id commented in his progiarn
notes for the series.
Quartet Members
Mvade up of Prof. Emil Raab and
Prof.Gilbert Ross, violinists; Prof.
Robert Courte, viola; and Prof.
Oliver Fdel, cello, the quartet will
play three quartets in tomorrow's
concert.
Highlighting the concert will be
the Quartet in C-sharp Minor,
op. 131. Beethoven called this
quartet his greatest while Prof.
Raab said, "as the work unfolds,
fresh marvels of synthesis of
structure and expression appear at
every turn."
"Its compartive brevity," he con-
tinued, "is gained by the exclus-
ion of all irrelevancies, by a mas-
terful concentration. Spontaneous
and irresistible, the work seems to
flower out of its inner expressive-
ness."

tary-general of the European

PROF. PAPER LECTURES ON ANCIENT PERSIA.
"t1
iental Institute in Chicago. He
remained fascinated'by his study
of ancient tongues.
"One-way to help carify ancient
historical situations," Prof. Paper
claims, "is through the scientific
study of languages and how they
operate. This is the job of ling-
uistics in general. From studying
clay tablets which are in reality
the actual manuscripts of ancient
scribes, one important way of re-
discovering ancient civilizations is
possible."
At present Prof. Paper is teach-
ing Modern Persian at the Uni-
versity. Though many ancient
languages are better known than
Elamite, linquists can still learn
much from this and other lang-
uages preserved in cunieform.
To prepare for this type of work
much involved training is need-
ed. It is necessary to learn about
the background of the peoples and
the complex interrelationships of
the various languages used in the
ancient Near East, he said.
