Moult THE MICHIGAN DAILY SATUiIJ AY, DECEMBER- 11, 1954 , .,..r. { FOUR THE MICHIGAN DAILY SATURDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1954 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." Stanley Quartet To Give Fifth Beethoven Concert Political Talk To Be Given George Louis Rebattet, Secre- tary-general of the European Movement,.will speak on-"France's Political Situation" to graduate students and faculty members of the political science department at 8 p.m Tuesday in the Rackham Amphitheater. Rebattet is lecturing in the United States through arrange- ments' of the Institute of Inter- national Education.

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.
