Voice Records To Show Faults In Enunciation
H - k - f
Visiting seniors and junior college students to S.C. interested in speech majors will have the opportunity of hearing their voice as other persons hear it when they attend the departmental conference of the School of Speech to be held in the speech offices. 126 Old College, at 10:30 o’clock this morning.
At the speech conferences, held under the direction of Director Ray K. Immel as part of the annual high school day, the recording equipment of the department will be used to record the voices of visiting students. A souvenir record will be made for each student and presented to him by the School of Speech. The records may be played on any phonograph instrument, and should prove a benefit for all students in correcting faults in their speech.
“We use recordings to enable each student to hear himself as other people hear him,” remarked Director Immel. “No person hears his own voice as others hear it. Vibrations of vocal chords amplified by resonance chambers come out through the mouth and nose and strike on an ear drum of the listener creating a certain impression of the speaker’s voice.”

NEW YORK, April 24—(CE) — Several “public officials of New Jersey” are involved in the kidnaping of Paul H. Wendel, district attorney William F. X. Geoghan said tonight.
He declined to name them, but announced his investigation would go “beyond the five men now under indictment” and find those responsible for the kidnaping of Wendel, a disbarred Trenton attorney whose “confession” of the Lindbergh baby murder delayed the execution of Bruno Richard Hauptmann three days.
Family Affair
Ellis Parker, the rural New Jersey detective who spends much of his time chasing chicken thieves, was ordered tonight to arrest his son, Ellis, Jr.—one of the five men indicted on charges of kidnaping and torturing Wendel. New Jersey state police have sent an alarm through eight eastern states for young Parker’s arrest.
Geoghan said young Parker, an employee of the New Jersey Motor Fuel Tax division, arranged the kidnaping, disguised with a false j mustache and dark glasses. As soon i as he was indicted, Geoghan added,
; he fled from his Mount Holly home in an automobile that was going 80 miles an hour.
Son’s Arrest Ordered
The elder Parker is county detective of Burlington county, N. J. His son lives in that county, and therefore district attorney Geoghan called on Parker to arrest his son. The elderly, round-faced Parker scratched his bald head in bewilderment as he stood outside the Elks club in Mount Holly, N. J.. and was told he had just been given his most important assignment.
“Why, I haven’t any idea where to find Ellis,” the elder Parker said. “I’ve been looking for him all day.”
While waiting for Parker to be arrested, Geoghan outlined the people’s case against him. He said the indictment of Parker, Murray Blee-field, Harry Bleefield, Harry Weiss and Martin Schlossman was only the start of the Wendel investigation.
Wendel said he was picked up in New York on Feb. 14 by men who took him to a house in the Sheeps-head bay section.

The campus has expanded from comparatively few square feet to 25 acres, and the fame of this institution has, in the words of President Roosevelt, who received an honorary L.L.D. degree here last No vember, “spread over the entire country.”
At the first meeting of the board of directors in 1880. the Rev. M. M. Bovard was elected to presidency and his brother received a professorship. The two Bovard brothers entered into a contract with the university directors by which they agreed to share full responsibility for the collegiate supervision in return for a guarantee from the board that this group would furnish a campus and erect and maintain suitable buildings for educational purposes.
With the boom years of 1885-88. the university entered upon an era of expansion. Old College, the only aged campus edifice now standing, was built and dedicated on January 9, 1887. Two years previous eight graduates had met and decided to form an alumni association. At the present time this organization has an enrollment of over 30,000.
Three years ago, in 1932. Doheny library was erected at a cost of over a million and a quarter dollars, and presented to the university by Edward L. Doheny as a memorial to his son. Edward L. Doheny, Jr. Today there are over 205,000 books available to the students in contrast to 700 at the time of the university’s founding.

‘Cannibal’ Plants Attract Visitors
Insectiverous plants, those unusual organisms which are able to capture, digest, and assimilate insects as a steady diet, are to be a feature of the exhibit of the botany department today.
Specimens of the* pitcher plant, one of the most interesting of this type, are displayed in a glass case, where students may inspect them. They are equipped with tiny hairs for capturing their prey, the inside is slippery, so that the animal is unable to get out of the trap; should he manage to crawl up the side, he will find his escape barred by the same tiny hairs which captured him.
Love vine, a parasite which cannot exist without its living host, can be seen twining around a familiar seed plant.
How microscopic slides are prepared, from cutting sections to embedding the specimens, may be seen in this exhibit.
The growth harmone in a plant, whereby lateral growth may be inhibited by the existance of a terminal bud, is demonstrated by two specimens of eucalyptus, one with the terminal bud removed, and the other in its natural form.
Growth in a bean plant is shown by a series of plants in various stages of development, from youth to maturity.
The efect of gravity on growing plants is demonstrated by a machine which revolves slowly, affecting the plant in a way similar to the gravity of the earth.
Flags of the nations fronted by a display of mementos gathered | from various parts of the world will be seen by visitors to the exhibit of the Los Angeles University of International Relations.
Contributors to the display include Dr. Hans N. von Koerber, professor of Oriental studies; Prof. Ken Na-kazawa, lecturer in Oriental studies; and Miss Nim Soo Young, technical adviser to Good Earth at Paramount Studios.
Directed by Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid. chancellor, the Los Angeles University of International Relations has a notable list of achievements to its name.
Most recent recognition of peace efforts promoted by the institution was the award of the Federation In-teralliee des Anciens Ccmbattants which was presented at a school assembly on April 3 by J. Ray Murphy, national commander of the American Legion. S.C. was the only university in the United States to receive the award.
The awarding of medals of honor to schools in the allied countries for their achievements in the field of international relations is part of the peace program of the F.I.D.A.C., an organization of some 8,000.000 World war veterans of 11 allied nations. The American Legion is a branch member of this society.
Activity and scholarship have their part in the school's curriculum. Climax of this year’s social affairs for students intending to enter the diplomatic service was the international ball last January which was sponsored in honor of the consular corps of the southland.
