Department
Faculty Tells
About Russia
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the sec-
ond of two articles discussing the
experiences of Slavic language de-
partment members while traveling
in the Soviet Union.)
By NORMA SUE WOLFE
All the professors and two teach-
ing fellows of the Slavic languages
and literature department have
either lived in or toured the Soviet
Union.
In the fifth, sixth and seventh
grades of Soviet high school, Prof.
Temira Pachmuss was exposed to
Russian and world literature, alge-
bra, and trigonometry. She left
Leningrad in 1943, went to Ger-
many, attended college in Australia
and then came to the U.S.
"Under the present political'
system, everyone in the' Soviet
Union suffers," she said.
"On the basis of what I know,
it seems to me that both the
universities and high schools in
Russia offer a far broader curricu-
lum. I am not well acquainted with
your school system, but from what
I've heard, your schools lack disci-
pline, with a curriculum not as
broad," the native reported.
Norman Ingham, teaching fel-
low, is presently celebrating the
first anniversary of his visit to
Moscow and Leningrad. Last
March he organized a group of
students from ithe University of
Berlin to tour those two cities.
In Moscow, the group saw the
Kremlin and toured the University
of Moscow, a factory, and a new
apartment house.
"The people do seem to believe
the propaganda they hear. They
think that capitalism thrives on
imperialism, which means war. In
fact, many Soviets approached me
with the question 'Why is it that
you Americans want to war?'" he
said.
Teaching fellow Robert Magidoff,
a native of Kiev, studied at the
University of Wisconsin and re-
turned to the Soviet Union as
Associated Press correspondent in
Moscow.

The modern conception of a
landscape architect 'as a gardener
is false, Prof. Walter L. Chambers
of the architecture college noted
recently.
Landscape architecture deals
with the arrangement- of land
with the spaces and objects'upon
it to best fulfill the requirements
of utility and beauty, he ex-
plained.
Prof. Chambers, who came to
the University last year, is in-
terested in getting the public to
understand more about the field
of landscape architecture. Little
is known about the field because
the landscape architects have
never attempted to inform the
public of its nature, Prof. Cham-
bers continued.
Called New Field
For this reason many consider
the field a relatively new one,
although the ancient Egyptians
and Babylonians were among the
first to enjoy landscape architec-
ture.
During the beginning of the
century landscape architects
worked for the wealthy or on pub-
lic projects. Thus, only the very
wealthy or the low income classes
received benefits of a landscape
architect's services.
Prof. Chambers would like the
so-called "white collar workers"
to have the opportunity to get
this aid, he said. In order to do
this,, several new courses will be
offered in the department next
semester. Open only to students
not enrolled in the architecture+
college, these courses should give
future home . owners the back-
ground to be able to better plan
their own homes.

The courses to be offered are

sign, Home Grounds' Design, and
Simple Landscape Construction
for Home Grounds.
An entirely new set-up has been
instituted in the department this
year, Prof. Chambers said. There
Committee of the American So-
ciety of Landscape Architects
which accredits. There are eight
to 10 other schools which offer
some courses, in the field.
Few Receive Degrees
Not many students fulfill this
requirement. Prof. Chambers
noted he will continue to keep
the requirements strict..,
The department is small but, he
stressed, it is hoped that more
students will enroll in it..
Previous to teaching at the Uni-
versity, Prof. Chambers taught at
Harvard University, Lowthorpe
School and Smith College.
Prof. Chambers received his
B.I.A. from Ohio State Univer-
sity and his M.L.A. from Harvard
University.
In addition to teaching, Prof.
Chambers has had a private prac-
tice and hopes to establish a prac-
tice in the Ann Arbor area some-
time in the near future. He also
worked on Defense Housing sin
New Kensington,_ Pa., TVA, Vet-
erans Housing in Wellesley, Mass.,
Navy Housing in Quonset Point,
R. I., Otis Air Base Housing, and
three PHA housing projects

PROF. WALTER CHAMBERS
... landscape architect
is a new staff, since most of the
old members of the department
are no longer present due to re-
tirement or illness, he explained.
Prof. William J. Johnson was
also added to the faculty this fall.
The future is good in this field,
Prof. Chambers said. The projects
of a landscape architect are
varied and numerous: town and
city planning, parks, housing
projects, community c e n t e r s,
highways, airports, country clubs,
industrial sites and shopping cen-
ters, resort properties and play-
grounds and cemeteries are but a
few of the possibilities.
Submits Solutions
The professional landscape ar-
chitect submits a recommended
solution following discussions with
his client. This is done by the
use of written, reports, sketches,
models or a combination of these.
Many times topographicaltsur-
veys and maps, research into such
factors as climate, soils, vegeta-
tion, and water supply as well as
questions of traffic and popula-
tion trends; and land-use studies
and property values must also be
utilized.
At present there are only 14
schools accredited to give degrees
in landscape architecture, Prof.
Chambers continued.
