Still Vying for Essay Awards
Brig. Gen. David Sarnoff, chairman of the board of RCA In New York City, will arrive here Saturday morning, June 12, a few hours before he is scheduled to speak at SC’s 71st annual commencement exercises, President Fred D. Fagg Jr. announced yesterday. General Sarnoff’s topic has not been
released.------------------------------------------------------------
A pioneer in radio, the general I	_
is also recognized as the father | L.IWi_	m	am
of television and a leader in I SVC 116511111611 America’s electronics industry.
In 1916 he was one of the first to recognize the possibility of sending music and voice by radio, which had been limited to dot-dash communication up to that time.
He foresaw television in 1923 and proposed the formation of the National Broadcasting Company in 1926.
General Sarnoff joined the Army Signal Corps reserve in 1924. He served in World War II, winning the Legion of Merit and Medal of Merit. During the war he attained the rank of brigadier general.
In his rise to success. General Sarnoff overcame handicaps of poverty, heavy family responsibilities, and foreign birth.
He was born in the village of Uzlian, Russia, on Feb. 27, 1891, and was brought by his parents to the United States as a boy of 9, the eldest of five children.
With the death of his father soon afterward, he became the main support of the family, who lived in a New York tenement district.
He was in turn newsboy, delivery boy, and messenger for the Commercial Cable Company. He bought a telegraph instrument and learned Morse code in six months.
At 17 he was an operator for the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company.
On the night of Apr. 14, 1912,
Sarnoff, working as wireless operator for the station on the roof of New York’s John Wanamaker stone, picked up the message that the SS Titanic was sinking.
He worked steadily three days and nights to give the world the name of every survivor.
He rose rapidly in the Marconi Company and in RCA, becoming president of the latter at 39.
A DT staff writer, egged-on by the current campus “discussion” on tuition costs, burrowed into the Doheny library files Friday to compare SC’s tuition with those of other private universities.
“Of the seven universities polled, SC and New York Uni-ersity tied for bottom place, charging $620 per year,” the writer said.
Columbia University tops the rest with a $775 per year fee. Stanford and Pomona are next, each charging $750.
Occidental admits students for only $700 a year, while Northwestern’s tuition fee is $660. Syracuse is just above SC and NU, charging $650 a year.
“These prices are based on undergraduate costs,” the staff member said. “The SC fee will be $620 per year if the $1 per unit increase is adopted, and assuming a student takes 31 units per year.”
Walker Will Give Awards To SC Band
Trojan band members will receive awards at the group's banquet May 31 at Rudi’s Italian Inn, Band Director Tommy Walker announced yesterday.
Free to all participants of any of the school bands in the past year, the banquet will start at 6 p.m.
The awards will be presented by Walker and William A. Schaefer, director of bands. Films of last year’s half-time activities will also be shown.
Guests will include Dean Raymond Kendall, Dean Bernard L. Hyink, Ralph Rush, president of the Music Educators of America, and Coaches Jess Hill and Forrest F. Twogood.
Walker urged all band members to make reservations at the band building as soon as possible.
SDX Meets...
A general membership meet and final briefing of the six candidates for tomorrow night’s initiation will be held at noon, Copy Reading room, today. Much important.
Only five freshman essayists remain in contention for the cash awards in the English department —Phi Eta Sigma writing contest, Harry B. Reed, instructor in English, said Friday.
Final decision in the competition is up to a board of three judges. The board includes Dr. Lionel Stevenson, chairman of the English Department; Dr. Madeline Blackmore, lecturer in general studies; and Harvey Zuckman, Phi Eta Sigma co-chairman of the contest.
Final Judging
The final judging will take place today, and the decision will be announced in all freshman English classes throughout the week.
The “pot of gold” for which more than 200 essayists sought includes a first prize of $35 and a second prize of $15.
Names of the remaining entrants will be known to no one including the judges until after the .final judging is completed because contestants used pseudonyms in signing their work.
The real names of the contestants with their pseudonyms are under lock and key. The use of false names was used in the contest to rule out the possibility of personality judgment.
Contest Sponsor
The contest, which had as its general theme “The Student’s Job in Education,” was sponsored by Phi Eta Sigma, national freshman scholastic fraternity, and the English department to promote greater interest in the educational process among freshman students.
To make the essay evaluations as fair as possible, judging was done on three levels. On the first level all freshman English instructors helped in selecting the best entries.
