AND SOUND FILLED THE AIR—Prof. J. Neale Carman, professor of Romance languages, experiments with the sound equipment in the new language sound room built in Blake Annex.
New Sound Lab To Be 'One Of The Best'
KU will have "one of the best language sound laboratories in the United States" when the remodeling of Blake Annex A is finished.
The remodeling, which will supply four sound laboratories, is almost completed. Students began using one of the rooms Monday
"There are some differences of opinion as to the best methods of arrangement for sound rooms," said J. Neale Carman, professor of Romance languages, "but we think our is one of the best in the country. There certainly are no better sound rooms west of the Mississippi."
In the past, sound rooms were used exclusively for transmitting sounds. The remodeled rooms also provide recording equipment.
"The new rooms will be much more elaborate and complete than any we have had before," Prof. Carman said.
Four master panels, one facing each sound room, enable the person controlling the panel to watch all the students in a room at one time.
The equipment used in the language sound rooms consists of tape recorders, phonographs, radio and
tape players which do not record. Besides the four large sound rooms, there is a small recording room to be used by students. One master recorder has been bought. A room has been built for use as both an audio and a visual purpose.
"The primary purpose of the sound rooms is to reproduce passages which students can listen to and understand," Prof. Carman said. "The student will listen to a short sentence recorded by an expert in the language; then he will repeat the same passage. By comparing the two recordings, the student can correct many of his faults. It gives the student a model to imitate."
"The most valuable teaching records are made here because teachers know the students' needs at a particular time."
