NUNAN EXPLAINS USES OF SOUND WAVES IN TALK
Instructor in Electrical Engineering Stresses
Practical Aspects of Recording Vibrations
“The reproduction and recording of sound waves are of great practical importance, not only to the professions, such as engineering and medicine, but also to the radio and motion picture industries.”
This was a statement made yesterday by Prof. Kneeland
Nunan at the next-to-last of the ,-
Wednesday lecture series. Profes- of this type are amplified by means sor Nunan, instructor in electrical of a resistance capacity amplifier engineering, spoke on “The Record- f°r recording and reproduction.
ing and Reproduction of Extremely Low Frequency Sound Waves.”
Stressing the practical aspects of the recording of low frequency ; sound waves, the lecturer pointed out that engineers often make use of sound waves in studying me-| chanical stress and strains, i “Low frequency sound waves are | also used by the medical profession in the study and comparison of heart beats,” he said. “These studies are very useful in research work concerning the different types of heart disease,” he said.
The beat of the human heart, according to Professor Nunan, is of a very low frequency of about one and one-half cycles. Sound waves 1 at a recent orchestral performance.
Describing noise as a “composite jumble of many frequencies,” the speaker said that one of the most efficient methods of recording noise or sound is by the use of film. Ordinarily this is the means of recording used by the motion picture studios, he said.
Professor Nunan explained how a mechanical-electrical horn is made to reproduce sound. He added that there were two practical ways to record low frequency sound, the variable density method, and the oscillograph method.
He described, through the use of illustrations and diagrams, the sound reproduction and broadcasting system of the Hollywood Bowl

Balloting
Sluggish
Officials Tally 19 Yes Votes Against 2 No In Second Day’s Voting
Balloting in the drive for reorganization of an independent students’ group continued sluggishly yesteruay as oficials tallied 19 “yes” votes against 2 "no” votes, bringing the total to 54 and 12, respectively.
To date only three-fourths of 1 per cent of the non-organized students on campus have taken the initial ive to cast their votes in the j Daily Trojan poll which closes tomorrow.
DISINTEREST INDICATED
Ciitical letters to the editor of the i Daily Trojan indicate that disinter- j est on the part of non-orgs to rally to a so-called dormant cause, and “won’t work” accusations will lead to the downfall of the proposed legislation.
Stuaents are urged to use the three ballot boxes, placed in the first-floor lobby of Student Union, and in the entrances to Old College and Bridge hall.
COMMITTEE LISTED
Committee members in charge of •the election, who were appointed by I Chairman Michael MacBan, include Claude Ross, Lynn Moody, Ed Jones, Bill Busby, and Reavis Winckler.
letters continued to pour into the Daily Trojan office both praising and condemning the proposal.

Regarding the voting thus far in the non-org proposal.

Visit Adviser Urges Registrar
In an effort to arrange for students registering next semester to secure careful advice the registrar has urged that conferences with instructors and faculty advisers be arranged before January 25.
Students may secure the semester
schedule in the information office
of the Administration building. A
tentative approval for the program
for next semester should be obtained at the time of the conference.
Credit summaries will not be supplied from the office of the registrar until the final registration days.

spontaneous on the part of non-orgs who were interested enough to establish an organization, and to obtain a meeting place, all agreed that the plan might easily become a reality. The following are opinions as expressed by interviewed students:
NAME BEATS PURPOSE Lee Goodman—non-org — “The very name defeats its purpose. The plan can be successful only if it has something concrete to offer.” Katherine Smith—Sorority—The movement should originate from the non-orgs themselves, if that should happen, I am all for it.” Jimmy Roberts — Fraternity — “Look at what happened to the Lancers.”
NON-ORGS NEED IDEAL
Jane Eccies-non-org—“The non-orgs need an ideal to unite them and something concrete to have pride in ”
Bob Fulton-^non-org—“Let 1t be organized by us and not by affiliated parties.”
Dorothy La Follette—Sorority — “It's silly because they would be organized.”
NO COOPERATION Elbert Thay’er—non-org — “It would fail through lack of cooperation.”
Margery Zowell—Sorority—“It ls a good idea if it would work, because it forms friendships and new contacts.”
Helen Herweg—Sorority—‘“If the | non-orgs want it, let them have
S it.”
Questions will be answered by Miller or Stan Decker, advertising manager, during chapel hour or in the afternoon.

“Upper division students who have completed one semester or more at SC may apply in advance for permits to be retained by the student and to be presented at the credit summary station at the time of registration.
"All new and lower division students should take their physical examination on the day preceding that to which the student has been assigned for registration.
"Men students should report to 110 Physical Education and women students to 111 Physical Education,” Clark concluded.
After the physical education permits have been presented students will register in the following order: REGISTRATION STARTS February 2. Friday, 8 a.m. to W noon —Registration for junior collega students.

February 5. Monday, 8 a.m.—Registration begins for sophomores and special students whose names begin A-L.
10 a.m.—Registration begins for sophomores and special student® whose names begin M-Z.
February 5, Monday. 1 p.m. bo • p.m.—Registration for junior and senior students.
February 6, Tuesday. 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
—Registration continued. PROGRAMS SHOULD BE READY Clark emphasized that in order to shorten registration hours and to permit a more smoothly running procedure students should work out next semester's program with their advisers before final examinations start.
Clark also stressed the fact that the adviser's card is now placed at the first of the series of registration cards and after preliminary petitions have been obtained, if needed, the card should be filled in and signed by the adviser before any of the other cards are filled in.

5/. Anne's Fugue ........................Bath
This fugue has not the brilliancy of the D major fugue or the D minor toccata, nor the bouyant tunefulness of thc G minor fugue, and it gives comparatively little scope for technical display, either in manuals or pedals. It is probable that it owes much of its vogue to its apparent connection with Croft's hymn tune. “O God. our help in ages past.” The historians all agree that Bach could hardly have heard Croft's tune, and it seems more probable it is that of an old German choral. It is a fugue in three sections, and sometimes called a triple fugue, but in reality it is not, as the subjects which open the sections are not' heard together. The most accurate description would be to call it a double fugue, with three subjects.
Nocturne from the "Midsummer
Night’s Dream” .........Mendelssohn
The “Midsummer Night’s Dream” was completed when Mendelssohn was seventeen years old, during the time he was taking daily piano lessons with Mo-schells, and was being admitted to the society of such men as Spohr, Hummel, Kalkbrenner, Rossini, Meyerbeer, and the leading men in the world of musical art. Later he was to revive the love for. and the practice of the works of Bach, by his superlative production in Berlin of the St. Matthew Passion, and to add infinitely to the literature of the organ, by his six Conatas for that instrument.
