World Communication Communication is not only for those who are endowed with the physical speech or- gans. Even those less fortunate are gifted with methods of speaking. Some such ways are taught in the Uni- versity classrooms. Sign language provides speech for the deaf; braille helps the blind to discover the mysteries of literature. So to all comes the magic of communication — ■ unhindered by physical defects. The physically sound sit in a lecture class and consume the fruits of a profes- sorial lecture — so it goes all through the college years — the give-and-take of class- room procedure, outfitting the student for the rougher give-and-take of the working world. Possibly the most vigorous form of com- munication occurs on the athletic field. Before the game, it is the coach who maps the strategy and informs the players of the up-and-coming game situation, the play to be stressed, the play to be watched for. And, on the field of play, it is the players who turn to communication — brute com- munication in the form of tackles, blocks, and side-arms. All this is but communica- tion in a thousand different guises. For the art of communication wears a thousand masques, each more intricate than the first and each beneficial in its way. The often-heard sound on campus by students — the voice of a prof. A coach communicates with his keen mind while watching from the side.

An art design class releases communication made possible through its outlet of creative drawing. March Through the Magic of Art Self-expression, too, is a means of commun- ication. The artist puts his deepest feelings into a painting which is then re ' ayed through the eyes of the onlooker. So it is with photography — an image trans- formed through the miracle of chemistry into lasting and material object captured in the rapture of a single moment. Again, it is the artist, the photographer, communicating with his audience. The same holds true for sculpture, this re- cording for posterity of a pose. And music, too, is a definite form of communication. Only with music, the communication is achieved through another sense — that of hearing. Mu- sic is an idea of a composer transmitted to the listener. Communication thus is carried on even through the arts. Ideas take shape in many ways and forms. Music — an uncharted vista of worldwide communication.
