THE MICHIGAN DAILY JECT PLANNER ANNOUNCES: Jational Arts Academy To Open at Interlochen Undergraduate Library Music Program Starts By NAN MARKEL 'he "next logical step" after music camp at Interlochen 1 be taken shortly. ' L National Arts Academy is set open on Interlochen's 700-acre thern- Michigan site in Sep- iber, 1960. It will "combine the' >ortunities of the camp and a h school," Joseph E. Maddy, np director and initiator of the ject, said. 3eing "more than a sum in ad- ion," as the school's prospectus tes, its backers will try some w concepts. (Even, though edu- ors think they've tried. every- ng, Maddy ' commented.) Early Specialization Asked Students will be asked to spe- lize early since there is an age it for acquiring the physical^ ls and muscular co-ordination the performing musician. 'hey will also concentrate one e particular problem for- many irs a day, such as learning an a or memorizing a composition. kt the camp Maddy and his ff have found that "gifted ung musicians could'and would icentrate for many hours a day, o that the longer the periods, concentration, the more rapid progress." This emphasis will carried over to regular studies. Cites 'Disservice' A Aic .rvie, to gifted. chil- To quote the academy's pros- pectus: "Recognition of excellence nourishes ambition and thus en- courages individual excellence." Moreover, "enthronement of me- diocrity" is prevented by estab- lishing standards of criticism and evaluation: More than 50,000 dollars in scholarships are hoped for in the first year, and even more are ex- ter vacation and a longer vaca- tion during the summer. The cur- pected later, the m u s i c i a n- director indicated. In line with the camp's policy, scholarship students will be housed in dormitories similar to; the "co-ops" at the University. Winterize Buildings Most of the new, large buildings) on the Interlochen site have al- ready been winterized,. Maddy added, and a new dormitory hous- ing about 180, with 11 practice rooms, is "in the works." The staff has not yet been se- lected, although Maddy reports many applicants for positions. These will wait, he said, until a) man suited to head the staff is found. What specific courses wilk be INTERLOCHEN BOWL HOTEL-Standing in the cleared portion of the wooded 700-acre Interlochen estate in northern Michigan, this hotel will be completed this summer. Winterized, fire-resistant, It contains 40 rooms and several practice areas.

Sociology Study Wins $100 Award The sociology department has, announced that Karen Russell has won the Eita Krom Award of $100 for the best paper written in con- nection with a course in sociology. The paper was entitled "Scien- tific Value Orientation and Reli- gion." year, is was possible to allow women to change buildings by petitioning the Housing Committee. Of the 27 petitions, 20 were' granted, six were withdrawn when they were unable ;to get single. rooms in stockwell Hall, and one student left the University. Women's upperclass housing has been debated for four years. Bar- bour was a junior-senior house from 1956 to 1958 and Little has served that capacity this year. Due to the increased difficulty for senior women to obtain apart-' ment permissions, it is projected by Assembly's committee that there will be an increased desire for upper-class housing in the future.- However, it is felt that this trend must be adequately ob- served before increasing upper- class housing residence hall facili-. overwelmingy r u to an upperclass house in the, future. It is felt the desirable loca- tion and facilities there are very adequate to serve juniors and seniors. The Assembly committee there- fore will recommend to the Board of Governors that after an addi- tional year of study and evaluation of upperclass housing as it is now established in Little House, after studying the administrative feasi- bility of establishing an additional upperclass house at Barbour, and after observing the desired needs and trends, that a more realistic; recommendation canrbermade than at the present time. The Housing Committee, estab- lished by Assembly Association and working in conjunction with the office of the Dean of Women, will present their recommenda- tions to the Board in the spring of To Receive Music Prizes, The Italian Contemporary Mu- sic Society has awarded a I~niver- sity faculty member and a gradu- ate student, both in the School of Music, two of the 19 awards in its international composition contest. Ross Lee Finney, professor of, composition and composer in resi- dence, received an award in the full-orchestra category, for "Vari- ations for Orchestra," which he composed in 1957. In. the category of chamber music, George Balch Wilson, Grad, who is at present working in Rome, Italy, on a Prix 'de Rome, received an award for "Fantasia for Violin and Piano," also written in 1957.

Director Maddy, whose interest, in teaching gifted and talented, students began when he conduct- ed student orchestras, was recent- ly given the AmAican Education, Award for 1959. He was cited for "devoting his full time and energy to teaching and inspiring his 'young friends' to develop their talents and to learn to express themselves in mu- sic and art." Six Receive Law.A wards At the Law School centennial delebration, six students were pre- sented the pictorial awards for "outstandin gservice" to the Law- yer's Club during the past year. Receiving the award, a large picture of the Law School, were Harry Asch, '59L, Thomas Dieter- ick, '59L, Harry Gaines, '59L, and David Harfeld, '59L. Also honored were Robert Reid, '61L, and Roger Gambatese, '60L. By PHILIP SHERMAN The Muse has come to the Un- degraduate Library.- In the form of the second floor listening program, it arrived Sun- day afternoon when the program commenced with Handel's "Con-' certo Grosso, No. 3." Reaction to the plan, which calls for soft classical music to be played on the second floor of the Library twice a week was gen- erally favorable, Mrs. Roberta'C. Keniston, director of the Library, reported. Of 183 students who handed in answers to questions on "opinion slips," 146 favored the plan and 37 opposed it.. Comment recorded at the be- ginning of the program Sunday was entirely favorable. J. W. Lin- dau, IV, '60, said that he usually studied on the third floor but had come to the second especially to' listen to the music. Classical mu- sic, he said, would drive out all of the "rock and roll" fans and leave the floor quiet for studyin. Welcomes Music Gerald Lundy, '59, said he often studied in the Audio Room and so welcomed music on the floor of the Library. Mrs. Keniston has said that reaching such listeners was a major aim of the program. The idea of music on the sec- ond floor was called "intellectual- ly satisfying and emotionally soothing" by David Bortman, '60. Warren Solon, '60, also thought the plan a good idea. He said that he had come to the Library es- pecially for the program. Likes 1Irgram Representing another group, those who liked music but did not m~ake special trips' to hear it, Leonard Wiener, '62, said he liked the program ,and would come to the second floor if he was in the Library when it was going on. Judy Weinberger, '61, was curi- ous about the idea, came to hear it and decided it should be con- tinued. .Edward Klevans, Grad., and his fiancee, Debbie Rosen, '60, both liked the idea. Miss Rosen had been "brought" to the Library but still was agreeable. To Be Continued If the response continues to be as favorable, Mrs. Keniston com- mented, the program would sure- ly be continued. She added, how- ever, that the Library wanted to ' see the results of a few more pro- grams before making a definite decision. She said that opinion received had probably been from people with definite opinions. There were many other people on the second floor who had no strong feelings, either way, she added. Mrs. Keniston said some sug- gestions had been received as to the volume of the music, which would be experimented with and for mood music similar to that of the Union. As to the latter, she said the Undergrad's record col- lection contents and purpose weighed against it. The next programN ill take place 7-10 p,m.? Wednesday. HOLLAND L.S.&A. VICE PRES.
