TEXAS OUTLOOK HAS ARTICLE
ON RADIO EQUIPMENT AT H-SU
Current issuo of the Texas Out-
look teachers' monthly magazine
carries an article on the radio equip-
ment In use in the speech department
of Hardin-Simmons university.
Tho story written by Edward B.
Dugan journalism professor nt the
university and entitled "Radio Train-
ing as n Speech Art" follows:
"Enter Demosthenes lato 1930
model in n West Texas locale.
"No pebbles no beach and waves
that Instead of lapping his feet fete
the laps that not so many years ago
held him as n boy.
"Several times each week young
men and women lift eyes from tho
supersensitive 'mike to West Texas
hills that are framed In studio win-
dows of the Abilcno Hilton hotel hills
that hold home sand hopes of parents
who even as they are spoken hear
words from familiar lips.
"Today's fortunate Demosthenes a
clcar-cycd young man not only at
Hardin-Slmmons but at other univer-
sities where radio equipment and
broadcasting facilities co-opcrato to
open a new field of pleasure and in-
come. "Yesterday he was the winner of
Interscolastic leogue literary ovents
perhaps only n quiet young man
who took advantage of Tcxos' fine
educational system without participa-
tion Jn extra-curricular activities.
"Typical of advances made in
speech arts Is the new radio equip-
ment installed this fall nt Hardin-
Simmons university widening the
field of radio techniquo to Texnns
who would earn n livelihood from fac-
ing an invisible nudience.
"Such equipment provides perfect
laboratory for speech technique
whether tho students intend to fol-
low radio as n profession or mere-
ly to better their diction. Distinction
is made between 'radio and 'ampli-
fier' dictions and speech defects are
remedied by auditions and clinical
exercises
"Outlet for talent thus perfected is
KRBC ntop the Hilton hotel that gives
over several periods each week to
student broadcasts. Programs can
now be broadcast by remote control
from tho fine arts building the audi-
torium the famous Cowboy band cor-
ral or tho football stadium.
"The West Texas Demosthenes is
.taught that coughs and sneezes cost
$40 each if the unfortunate steps
too close to the microphone; that sec-
onds are watched as closely as min-
utes and that S's with that villainous
hiss will send shivers up and down
'mike's back bone as well as the
spines of listeners.
"Sitting at the controls in an ad-
joining sound-proof room is Mrs. Nena
Ramsey Lewis director of speech arts
and regional director of Interscholos-
tic league one-act plays who tunes in
on laboratory work and corrects de-
fects in technique and diction before
the students are permitted to partici-
pate in regular KRBC programs.
"Special featuro of corrective
speech work is the clinic set-up for
public school children bearing direct-
ly on the benefits from speech arts
in that it permits more advanced stu-
dents to pass on their knowledge of
corrective speech to children who
learn proper diction as they learn the
language itself.
"Sharing the benefits of the new
equipment and new courses that aro
fast revolutionizing teaching meth-
ods are those studying music broad
cast of which involves similarly care
ful preparation.
"Closely allied to tho two is tho
writing of continuity that draws from
speech music English composition
and tho sciences. Time so Important
a factor in commercial broadcasts be-
comes of major concern within the
sound-proof walla whero speech mu-
sic and composition share tho equip-
ment. "Not' least among students of radio
diction are faculty members and other
adult lecturers who must bo taught
to 'confide in microphones instead of
attempting to throw their voices tho
length of an auditorium by brute
force.'
"Tomorrow Demosthenes may bo n
radio announcer sports commentator
barber shop tenor or business or
profession man or woman whose work
in radio diction serves in increasing
his or her worth to tho community."

'Don't Dance With Strange
Men' Gag Is Answer To
Governor's Request
By BILL SAFFOLl)
Prospector Copy Editor
(Editor's Noto: "No thnnk you I
don't dance with strangers" was the
reply of n Mines co-ed when asked
to dance by Gov. James V. Allrcd at
tho Sun Carnival coronation ball. Tho
following drama portrays tho awful
after effects of tho incident):
Dramatis Pcrsonac
The Co-Ed Conscience
Act I (in fact all the acts).
Scene I (ditto)
The Co-Ed enters kicking herself
from time to time.
Co-Ed: Nice going bnbe you have
just passed up the chance to dance
with the governor you should have
known him when you saw him. (Dis-
gustedly). "I don't dance with stran-
gers" and it wasn't even original.
Conscience (backstage): You did
what was exactly right my dear.
Young Indies should not go nbout
dancing with just any man.
Co-ed: Oh my yes (snecringly)
you sound exactly like Dean Puckctt
dishing it out to tho lads who forgot
to go to gym.
Conscience (still backstage the
stago door is stuck): Now listen you
had best not get tough with me
young 'un; I know better.
Co-Ed (very bitterly you can even
taste it): Yeah experience I know.
Well you can sny what you want to
but I'll say what I want to also
and you can't do anything about it.
I wish that I had danced with the
governor and I still feel ns embar-
rassed as though the homo brew in
tho pnntry hnd started exploding
while the preacher was at our house
for dinner.
Conscience (sticking his hend
through the back drop; he has kicked
tho stage door open at last after
having missed his cue several times) :
Did you know that the governor is
married huh?
Co-Ed:
(Blanks indicate silence and not
ns is popularly believed cuss words).
Conscience (craning his neck nnd
picking his teeth) : Hch heh heh.
(Sirens sound in tho distance ns
the Co-Ed swoons and Conscicence
begins on a fresh toothpick).
Curtain nccompanicd by catcalls
and showers of vegetables.
