LITERARY ’PROFILES'

Reviewer Discovers Fine Student Talent
(Editor’s Note: The following: review of “Profiles #2,” the English Club’s new literary magazine, was written by professor of English James H. Durbin. As co-advisor of the club and one of the sponsors of the magazine, Durbin has sought to look at the magazine objectively. However, the editors hasten to add that another review analyzing less favorable aspects of the magazine is forthcoming. That review will appear in Joe Saltzman’s “Literary Lab,” in the fall.)
By DR. JAMES H. DURBIN, JR.
English Department Professor
In his foreword to the second number of SC Profiles the editor speaks of the attempt to give the University “a literary magazine that it can be truly proud of.” Jerry Foster, his colleagues on the staff and his contributors have every reason to pride themselves on the initiative and industry they have shown. That the second number should follow so speedily on the heels of the first is proof of their application; it also, and more importantly, indicates their desire to see “Profiles” established as a continuing and acknowledged University publication.
If there is a corresponding interest, participation and patronage, the magazine may well become, as the editor hopes, “a tradition on the SC campus/’ It is certainly the kind of tradition that should exist in any academic community where the values of creativity and expression are recognized as essential.
When Foster refers to this as a “clean” publication,
I assume he is thinking of format and typography, rather than of anything having to do with morality or taste. In these terms the second number is a considerable improvement on the first, which had an unfortunately spontaneous air to its physical construction.
A magazine in the hand should, after all, behave like

Dr. Boris V. Morkovin, found- j er of the 30-year-old cinema de- j partment and noted teacher of deaf children, took a big bite of cake and ice cream at his 77th j birthday surprise party and said, “When you do something interesting you keep young.”
Several of his former students surprised him last Thursday with the birthday cake, ice cream and coffee when he came to the cinema office to talk about writing scripts for some research films he plans to make.
He has just been given a government research grant to do three months study in the Library of Congress on what the Russians are doing with machines to determine hearing losses in children.
Dr. Morkovin, a native of Russia. reads and speaks that language fluently as well as German.
He believes that “every deaf person, unless mentally deficient. can be taught to speak.” His conclusions on this subject can be found in a book he is just
completing, “Through the Barriers of Deafness and Isolation,” or the development of oral communication for the hearing-impaired child.
In 1938, he made the first films to teach lip reading, and they were used to teach 15,000 deaf-

ened soldiers and sailors in eight | weeks during World War II.
In addition to starting the cinema department at SC, Dr. Morkovin established the department of Slavic Studies and the speech and hearing clinic on the campus.
He is also a co-founder of the John Tracy Clinic which was originally housed at SC.
While a professor of literature at the University of Prague, Dr. Morkovin became interested in Russian and German film production.
When he came to this country-he used this knowledge and cooperation from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to start the SC cinema department.
Dr. Morkovin was on the SC faculty from 1926 until he retired in 1951. Since then he has been busier than ever working with handicapped children — which he first started 20 years ago — and ‘‘doing something interesting to keep young.”
