Textures, the importance of line, form, and space relationships, and awareness of color and pro- portion, and the balanced "dy- namic design" of today, are some of the areas of study which are taught in the course. During the semester, special at- tention is called to "the orienta- tion of the house in relation to its environment," Miss Heller re- marked. One must consider such things as "the lot, space, garden, windows and amount 'of room available in planining the interior furnishings." "This is especially true today," she continued, "when large win- dow areas are possible, making the outside seem a part of the in- terior." Financial Status Important The economic situation of the family is another important as- pect. "Too often," Miss Heller commented, "students plan huge mansions with all sorts of lavish furnishings, not even considering that most people cannot afford to spend that much money!" To remedy this situation, Miss Heller requires that the students work within a specific budget. She also instructs them in devices to make houses seem larger than they are. Ilustrating this theory, Miss Heller mentioned that it is neces- sary to show how correct usage of light and space can make a small room appear larger. "Glass walls, terraces, and garden areas all help to create the visual illusion of a larger huose." Course Stresses Simplicity "We especially emphasize the importance of simplicity in design, color and line," Miss Heller said. "The course encourages the de- velopment of sensitivity and ap- preciation of good design and brings about a greater awareness of the furnishing materials used today." "Personal attention is empha- sized," she remarked, "and to ac- comodate this aim, we have in- itiated a weekly consultation hour for students to discuss their ques- tions or problems concerning course material or assignments." Miss Heller stressed the flexibility of the program, which permits students to work where their in- terest lies. A pertinent fact brought up by Miss Heller was the indirect in- fluence of the student's contact with the School of Architecture and Design. "This contact in- creases the student's awareness of the other activities, such as models, drawings, and exhibits, created by students within the art school," she said. Work With Art School "These students will be the fu- ture professional designers of to- morrow," Miss Heller continued, "as contrasted to the students tak- ing this non-professional course." As she aptly phrased this influ- ence, "The school actually be- comes a part of their lives." In recent years the final prob- lem in the course has been one which "is a specific solution of a specific home." By selecting an actual or hypothetical family, liv- ing in a given home, Miss Heller said that students learn to realize and overcome the problems that arise. "They must arrange the furni- ture in a pleasing, functional way, which would most satisfactorily meet family needs. "They even se- lect the specific materials to be used," Miss Heller added. Students Put Language Lab To Good Use University Provides Extensive Facilities As an Aid to Studying Were one able to dissect the low, steady murmer that forms the at- mosphere of 1415 Mason Hall, he would find it a composite of 18 different languages. The language laboratory, equip- ped with combination record play- ers and earphones is the mecca for all beginning foreign language students who wish to learn correct pronunciation and gain fluency in speaking. The aspiring student enters one of many small booths, puts on ear- phones, and listens to recordings especially prepared for him by fa- ulty members. Available in a small library in an adjoining room, the records are supplements to class- work. Study Accent Faults In order to study his own ac- cent faults, a language student may also record his own voice on tape. About seven and a half years ago, Prof. Lawrence Kiddle, Prof. Charles Staubach and Prof. Ernst Pulgram of the romance language department planned the labora- tory project and obtained permis- sion to start it. Project Growing They initiated the project with six pieces of machinery. Today the lab has over 100 pieces of equipment. Studentsmay listen to records in German, Latin, Polish, Italian, Arabic, Russian, English, Greek, Japanese, Chinese, French, Span- ish, Swedish, Portuguese, Persian, Turkish, Thai and Korean. The University was one of the first institutions in the United States to utilize this method of foreign language study, now adop- ted by many other colleges. Inter-departmental Committee Administered by an inter-de- partmental committee with Prof. Otto Graf of the German depart- ment as head, the language lab- oratory serves the needs of all of the University's language depart- ments, as well as those of the Eng- lishLanguage Institute. The listening booths are used approximately 3,500 times a week including sessions. Faculty mem- bers suggest the lab as an excel- lent way to review vocabulary. A section of the laboratory is reserved from 9 am. every morn- ing for foreign students studying English. The lab is also open to students who are planning trips to other countries and wish to familiarize themselves with the language of that country. Dance Classes To Begin Soon League dance classes for the fall semester will begin Monday, Oct. 10, and contniue for eight weeks. They are scheduled as follows for the fall semester: Monday- advanced doubles from 7:15 to 8:15 p.m. and exhibition group from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m.; Tuesday- singles from 7:15 to 8:15 p.m. and couples from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m.; Wednesday-singles from 7:15 to 8:15 p.m. and intermediate doubles from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. There will be a mass meeting for everyone interested in the classes on Wednesday, Oct. 5, in the League Ballroom. Sophomore Class Will Present Coed Show By SUE RAUNHEIM There is a group of students who who can be seen around campus waving banners, wearing unusual hats and playing guitars. These men and coeds are Enthu- siastically working on a new pro- ject, the Soph Show, which will be held Thursday through Satur- day, Nov. 15, 16 and 17. The show, a full length musical play has main parts, chorus lines and various committees which sophomores may work on. Mass Meeting The first mass meeting and try- out will be held at 7:30 p.m. Mon., Sept. 24 in the League. At this time students can sign up for committees and tryout for various parts. This is the first time on the University campus that the men and women of the Sophomore class are combining their time and talents to produce a musical. Formerly Soph Scandals The idea of a coed show grew out of the former Soph Scandals which was a production sponsored by the Women's League and pro- duced solely by the women of the sophomore class. This year, after the completion of Soph Scandals, the coeds got together and decided the show might have more appeal and also be more fun if it were a coed pro- ject. A few males were selected from the Interfraternity Council and Inter-House Council to aid in set- ting up this new project. Using the profits from last year's show, the enthusiastic group began formu- lating plans last January. First Turnout Good After they were fully organized, they publicized a mass meeting for all prospective sophomores. This turnout was an excellent one and the chairmen, Nancy Brecht and Hank Kerr expressed their pleasure at seeing so many stu- dents interested in the project. At this mass meeting, announce- ment was made of the shows pro- gress so far and positions open for petitioning were explained. Be- sides general chairmen, the com- mittees were secretary, treasurer, directors, p r o d u c t i o n, dance, script, costumes, makeup, publi- city, music and programs. Each of the committees offered an opportunity for a male and coed to assume responsibility. Central Committee Chosen In May, the new central com- mittee were chosen with Nancy Brecht and Hank Kerr as general co-chairman. Included on the committee were Sandy Russell, Jordan Lewis, Lois Curtis, Bruce Hoffman, Shirley Hutte, Robert Gantzos, Judy Harbeck, Scott Florence, Jean Wiloughby, Byron Gold, Pat Kelley, Robert Arnove, Liz Erskine and Wayne Townsend. The new committee decided that they needed professional aid in making this new project a suc- cess. A contract was drawn up and signed by Ted Heusel, a profes- sional director who has worked with many summer stock compa- nies. The student directors, Gretel Bailey and Jim Richman, will still have full authority plus the ad- vantage of professional advice when they need it. Spark Plug Last spring, the publicity com- mittee established a representa- tive system, A member was se- lected from every housing unit on campus to be the spark plug in his house or dorm. It is the duty of every representative to make sure that everyone knows what the show is and what oppor- tunities it affords interested soph- omores. The Central Committee of Soph Show urges everyone to take some small part in it. They feel that this will enable sophomores to get to know each other. The planning committee and the central committee of Soph Show are both enthusiastic. They know the possibilities the show has of becoming not only the first coed :lass project but a very suc- cessful venture. They urge all sophomores to at- tend the next mass meeting at 7:30 p.m. Mon., Sept. 24 in the League.
