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.

CHAMBERS CLAIMS:4 Landscape Architect No Gardener By LOIS BREYER NEXT THURSDAY OPENING NIGHT PIRATES OF PENZANCEI Lydk Mendels 12, 13, 8:00 " ' Tick sohn 1-5 f 14, -1.65 BUY YOUR TICKETS EARLY! ets on sale Ad. Bldg. and 1.10 SEE IT! I 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. now available!1 HANDBOOK OF NATURAL GAS ENGINEERING Donald Katz, Editor McGraw-Hill Book Company The courses to be offered are Introduction to Landscape De- 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 MASONIC AUDITORIUM DETROIT FRIDAY, M4ARCH 1 8:20 P.M.

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.
