Students at S. C* Get Voice Tests By New Methods
Students of the University of Southern California who are ambitious for success as actors on the stage or in motion pictures, as public speakers, radio broadcasters or singers, are having their voices tested by Prof. Charles Lindsley, head of the speech department of Occdiental college, who is engaged in research work to determine the nature and quality of vocal resonance.
Electrical stethoscopes, electrical amplifiers and sound filters are used by Professor Lindsley in these experiments at S. C. where he is studying to secure his doctor’s degree in psychology of speech. Resonance of the voice is measured by a pow er level indicator in terms of decibels.
The experiments are conducted to determine why a voice is good or poor and to indicate means of improvement in quality.
PROF. F. H. KOCH TO SPEAK TODAY
Prof. Frederick Koch, professor of dramatic literature at the University of North Carolina, will speak on ‘‘Making an American Folk Play” at the weekly assembly tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. in Bovard auditorium.
Mr. Koch will be introduced by Dr. Lester B. Rogers, dean of the Summer Session, who will pre side. Invocation will be given by Dr. Bruce Baxter, university chap lain. Piano selections will be played by Norma Brown.
Professor Koch’s talk will draw on his experiences as director of the Carolina PlayniHkers and, previous to that, the Dakota Playmakers at the University of North Dakota. His work since he entered the teaching profession has been the encouragement of native drama. It has taken the from of having students write plays of their own localities and of events of which they are familiar.
Some of the better plays written under his supervision now fill three volumes of “Carolina Folk Plays” under his editorship. A fourth volume of comedies is soon to be published.
Mr. Koch has positive ideas on the encouragement of creative writing as contrasted to writing from scholastic research, a pursuit now being mostly favored by American universities. His contention is that native literature can be made to flower only when native writers are encouraged to make the most out of their surroundings.
Classes will follow the usuai Tuesday schedule tomorrow: each will be 45 minutes ln length followed by a five-minute intermission. The afternoon series of classes will begin at 1:30 instead of the usual 1:15.
Pro/. W. E. Koch will Talk to Rotary Club
Prof. William E. Koch of the School of Merchandising, will speak before the Rotary dub of San Bernardino this noon at the regular weekly luncheon meeting. Professor Koch wiH talk on “-Depression and the Indication of Increasing Need for Business fckhi-oatioo.”
PROF. KOCH WILL TEACH CLASS IN STORE MANAGING
Course in Evening College Will be Adapted to Independent Merchants.
An evening class in Independent Retail Store Management to start Sept. 22 at University College, downtown evening division. The course will be in charge of Professor William E. Koch of the School of Merchandising who has a broad business experience and is nationally recognized as au authority ou retail store management. He is the author of “Methods of Retail Management” recently published by McGraw-Hill of New York and a constant contributor of articles on various phases of sales promotion and profit promotion to leading retail trade papers.
This class will be conducted especially for those already engaged iu business. It will deal writh the constantly changing problems of the smaller independent store, rather than those of the large department store and chain organizations.
A thorough analysis will be made of principles, policies and methods that lead to better management and more profitable operation. The newer methods of handling and coordinating sales, merchandise stocks, margins and cost of doing business will be given special consideration.
These fundamentals apply alike to all independent retail stores whether dealing in hardware, furniture, jewelry, shoes, drugs, groceries, electrical appliances or other lines. This fact makes it passible for merchandisers of differing commodities to meet in the same class and obtain the benefit of hearing their basic problems discussed from varying practical view-points. A broader vision is thus developed, and a better understanding of how to meet individual problems more successfully.
