'Audio-Visual Dept, of Service
To Many Campus Organizations
By PAT KING
The fledgling audio-visual department, under the direction
of Don L. Hunter, has been growing by leaps and bounds since
its beginning last September and will soon outgrow its present
location in room 4 of the library.
In order to provide a campus-wide service in motion pic
ture films, slides, recordings, and related materials, the depart
ment catalogs and lends materials
for classroom and research purpos
es. It also provides study facilities
in the library building for individ
ual student and faculty use.
Pronunciation Learned
“Right now I would say the lan
guage department is making the
. mbst of our facilities,’’ Hunter said.
“Students studying Spanish come
in to listen to Spanish records which
supplement textbooks so they can
get correct pronunciation and bet
ter understand the spoken language.
Wednesday evenings members of
German classes record their voices
and listen to the playbacks to help
improve their pronunciation.
There are now three cubicles
available for listening to records j
and the department expects to ex
pand to 28 or 30 cubicles when the
new library wing is added.
Earphones to Come
By next year there will be 12 }is-!
tening tables with earphone sets
for students to listen to different
music at the same time and yet al
low other students to study in the
same room. The room will be locat
ed on the third floor of the library.
The school of music is planning to
move its library of records to the
department for music students.
The tape recorder, a recording
machine which plays back sound
that can be “erased” and the tape
used over again, is in great demand
and is currently being used by the
radio department.
“It is a valuable aid for students
to hear their own voices and then
pick out their own mistakes,” point
ed out Hunter.
Psych Classes Use
The tape recorder has also been
used for cutting and editing back
ground music for hypnosis experi
ments in the psychology classes.
The department, which makes
colored slides and develops film, has
been turning out approximately 500
slides a month for the architect
school.
With silent, slide, and motion pic
ture projectors, audio-visual also
has a film librairy which contains
about 50 films. Books from the li
brary of congress are recorded on
microfilm which can be sho\ n on
individual screens and read like
pages of a book.
. Government Sends Film
The government recently has
been sending several films on atom
ic energy, Hunter said.
As bibliographical aids, the audio
visual library will be catalogued
and cards will be filed in both the
general library catalog and a special
catalog in the department.
As an aid to students in study and
research, the audio-visual depart
ment is expected to take a valued
and important place in all phases
of University work.
Law School Asks

All students desiring admission to
the school of law at the beginning
of fall term 1947 must file an appli
cation form in the law school office

Students who fail to file their ap

assured of accommodation in the
law school next fall, he said.

cured from the law school secretary,

Free Movies to Include
Several Alaskan Films

ucational activities board tonight

produced by Maya Deren, and ■ a

to Denali,” and “Alaska—Reservoir

and 10:30 at 207 Chapman hall.
Religious Council
Names President
Emphasizing that the import of
her remarks were not how to be a
fossil but, “how each of you can
remain alive,” Mrs. Edmunson Nor
ton, regional secretary of the
YWCA, Junior-Senior luncheon
Saturday. Held in the Eugene ho
tel, the luncheon is an annual affair
honoring all graduating women sen
iors.
Elaborating on her topic, “Lifetime
Exposure: Graduation Is Not
Enough,” Mrs. Norton said that to
remain alive, “We must be better
mothers, better teachers and better
social workers. We can do this by
giving time to our home, commun
ity and nation,” she said.
Problem Religious
She observed that one of the par
amount problems facing individ
uals today is whether they regard
human beings as infinite works or
think that they many existed for
the exploitation of the few. “The
problem is ‘essentially religious,’’
she continued, “and part of religion
is a willingness to sacrifice.”
She declared that college pro
vides each graduate with intellec
tual curiosity, emotional maturity,
a sense of values, and a sense of re
sponsibility for the community in
which they reside.
Graduates Equipped
“If you have had a lifelong ex
posure to these things, you can
adapt yourselves tb the new work,”
she said. “You are equipped to re
late yourself constructively to the
things of life.”
Mrs. Norton concluded with this
toast to the seniors: “This is not a
toast to better fossils, but to you,
may you live all your life.”
Bjorg Hansen, YWCA president,
was toastmistress. A greeting to
the visiting seniors was presented
by Gloria Cartozian, former cabi
net member, in the abence of Mar
jory Skordahl, past president of the
YWCA. Grace was given by Beryl
Howard, worship chairman. Back
ground music was furnished by
Mary Margaret Dundore.
