Language laboratory bears name of principal organizer

In 1965, when Ermal E. Garinger became the director of the KU language laboratory, it was in the Blake Hall annex.
The laboratory was in a surplus barracks from World War II," Garner said. "All the furniture was homemade, and the equipment was limited. There were no cassette decks."
But soon after he arrived, Garinger said, he persuaded the University of Kansas to install some cassette decks allow students to check out tapes.
Today the language laboratory at 4069 Wescoe Hall has about 1,000 tapes in 20 languages for the regular use of about 2,000 students.
The laboratory also has computers, about 30 audio cassette players and a satellite dish and can send audio and visual programs of foreign language instruction to 12 classrooms. These electronic classrooms has a headset through which lessons are transmitted.
On Sep. 29, the language laboratory was renamed the Ermal Garin-
ger Academic Resource Center to honor the man who was responsible for its development for 22 years until his retirement Oct. 1.

Even though my name is on the wall, that doesn't mean I've done this by myself by any means
- Ermal E. Garinger Former director of the KU language laboratory
"I thought buildings were only renamed after someone died." Garner said. "I put a lot of my life into the laboratory, but I didn't think it would be renamed. I didn't see the point."
But John Huy, director of the newly renamed center, said the language laboratory had become one of the best in the country and probably the best in the Midwest because of Gäringer's work.
"He is totally responsible for the development of the lab we have
now," Huy said. "Everything done in the laboratory was done because of his inspiration and knowledge of foreign language. He was innovative and tried to improve the lab."
Huy said the laboratory was now called an academic resource center because it offered videos in subjects like mathematics, speech, calculus and the humanities.
Garinger said he fought for support for the laboratory, but a responsive administration also helped.
"Even though my name is on the wall, that doesn't mean I've done this by myself by any means," Garinger said. "The administration recognized the language laboratory was an important tool in our work." They have always been committed to a strong foreign language program."
Garinger is now executive director of Kansas Foreign Language Task Force, which works with the Kansas Foreign Language Association and the state Department of Education to improve foreign language programs at Kansas high schools. It also wants to help start language programs in the 65 school districts in Kansas that now have no foreign language programs.
