LACK OF FACILITIES:
Raps Restricted Music Study
By CAROLINE DOW
Obscure technical writing is not
limited to the United States r.or
to engineers, Prof. W. .Earl Brit-
ton of the engineering English de-
partment reports.
During a sabbatical leave in
1960, he interviewed 50 educational
institutions, industries and publi-
cations and research establish-
ments of Western Europe to de-
termine the extent of poor scien-
tific writing.
Complaints on the inability of
both engineers and scientists to
communicate clearly were consis-
tent through his interviews, Prof.
Britton says. Technical writers
seem to" miss , the point of the
matter they are reporting because
they assume its obviousness:;
The problem did not seem to be.
'determined by the amount of ed'i-
cation that the person received as
inability to express technical ideas
was almost universal among scien-
-C ,
ON STAGE e IN PERSON
tists of all levels of education,
Prof. Britton says.
Four European traits combat
efforts to obtain clarity in tech-
nical exposition he concludes. The
insistance that education should
be broad and basic in European
schools prevents specialized cours-
es to deal with this problem
Pressure for time in the cur-
riculia and the state control of
education also discourages change.
Continental respect for the ex-
pert and professor do not force
them to be clear, and the attitude
that the less the layman under-
stands, the more learned the pro-
fessor, combats clarity, he said.
The historical orientation of Euro-
pean engineers and scientists in-
fluence them to bury the point of
the article in the middle, where it
'is in chronological context, he
adds.
Informal courses in technical
writing are appearing in Europe
and some industries are requiring
engineers to keep technical terms
to a minimum.,
Mississippi Editor
To Speak Toda y
A Mississippi newspaper editor,
whose ridicule of those who de-
fied the Supreme Court school
decision of 1954 lost him his local
subscribers and advertisers, will
speak on "The Uncalled Quack" at
3 p.m. today in Rackham Amp.
P. D. East the editor of The
Petal Paper of Petal, Miss., is also
the author of "The Magnolia
Jungle."
By MARTHA MacNEAL
"We hear the word 'discrimina-
tion' mentioned often," Dean of
the music school James B. Wal-
lace said recently.
"An example of discrimination
in its most basic sense is the fact
that non-music majors are un-
able to take applied music courses
at this University.
"Of 25,500 students, only the
600 studying professional music
can take practical study of a par-
ticular instrument or of voice."
Students Withdraw
Many students have withdrawn
and transferred from the Univer-
sity during registration when they,
discovered that music study was
unavailable to them because of
lack of facilities and faculty time,
he added..
"A few desperate literary college
students have even bicycled over
to Eastern Michigan University foi
applied music courses."
Now with 72 faculty members.
the music school has grown rap-
idly from a conservatory attached
to the University in 1940.
Students Increase
After World War II, the school
soon faced the postwar expansion
of the student body, and some-
thing had to be curtailed.
"Much to the embarassment and
chagrin of the University, non-
Mnusic majors had to be excluded,"
Dean Wallace explained.
Applied music courses now serve
less than one per cent of non-
music majors, and in some de-
partments, notably organ, "ab-
solutely zero per cent."
Only School
"This is the only school in the
United States which cannot give
musical instruction to literature,
medicine and business adminis-
tration students to help them
develop avocational interests that
could mean a lot to them in later
life," Dean Wallace stressed.
Applied music is taught in a
one-to-one ratio of instru'tors to
students. Group instrument class-
es are given to beginners, but the
difficulty here is holding the class
down to about eight students.
It is also imperative that these
students have about the same pro-
APO Provides
Bus Service
For University students who plan
to fly home via Metropolitan of
Willow Run Airports, the Willow-
politan bus service is once again
in operation.
The schedule for Bus A, the only
one going to Metropolitan first, is
leave the Union at 12 a.m., arrive
at Mosher-Jordon Halls at 12:15
p.m., Hill and Washtenaw at 12:30
p.m., Willow Run at 1:40 p.m.,
Metropolitan at 1:10 p.m.
Bus B's schedule is: Union at
2:40 p.m., Mosher-Jordon Halls
at 2:55 p.m., Hill and Washtenaw
at 3:10 p.m., Willow Run at 3:40
p.m., Metropolitan at 4:10 p.m.
The run of Bus C is: Union at
4 p.m., Mosher-Jordon at 4:15
p.m., Hill and Washtenaw at 4:30
p.m., Willow Run at 5 p.m., Metro-
politan at 5:30 p.m.
Bus D will follow this schedule:
Union at 5:30 p.m., Mosher-Jor-
don Halls at 5:45 p.m., Hill and
Washtenaw at 6 p.m., Willow Run
at 6:30 p.m., Metropolitan at 7 p.m.
The bus schedules are for to-
morrow. Tickets may be bought
in the Fishbowl. The rates are
$1.25 to Willow Run and $1.50
to Metropolitan.

Alpha Phi Omega.
ficiency level; otherwise the class
defeats its purpose. Group classes
have never been tried for students
outside the school of music, lie
noted.
25 per Teacher
Each faculty member teaches a
maximum of 25 hours per week.
At one-to-one ratio, few students
can be accommodated.
"Applied music is a kind of
natural honors program in that
the professor works with the in-
dividual and pushes him as far as
he can go," Dean Wallace said.
"The one-to-ope ratio causes tre-
mendous space and time problems.
The student should also have
practice time and space available."
Over the three registration per-
iods, the School of Music receives
about 200 requests for applied
music study from non-music ma-
jors. However, this figure is un-
reliable in that many students
know that they cannot be ac-
commodated and so do not ask.
68 More Students
"We can literally feel an in-
crease of 12 students in space and
staff problems, and 68 more stu-
dents came in this fall." Dean
Wallace pointed out. "We have
13 buildings, and we are running
four of them from 7 a.m. to 10
p.m. seven days a week.
"Many students who come to
the University as freshmen are not
sure of their major.
"Nevertheless, many need musi-
cal training to serve them later
in life, for example, the medical
student who wants to keep his
skill going for the relaxatin it
will later provide," Dean Wallace
explained.
The solution would necessarily
involve expansion of facilities for
adequate studios, practice rooms
and nore instruments and staff
members.
Worthington
To Counsel
For Corps
Paul Worthington, Peace Corps
field representative, will be avail-
able for individual consultation
about volunteer opportunities un-
till noon today in Rm. 3510 Stu-
dent Activities Building.
Tonight at 7:30 p.m. he will
speak at the Guild House on Peace
Corps philosophy, purpose, selec-
tion, training and testing. The
six hour examination for prospec-
tive volunteers will be held Nov.
28 and 29 at 8:30 a.m. at the Ann
Arbor Civil Service Examining
Center, Worthington announced
yesterday.
Although it is not necessary for
taking the examination, the first
step in selection is the applica-
tion, he said. Questionnaires can
be picked up from Vice-President
for Student Affairs James A.
Lewis or at the Post Office. To as-
sure E. reservation at the examin-
ing center the application must
be cleared through the Corp's
Washington office.
Although volunteers are needed
in all fields, more are needed in
the areas of engineering, teaching,
medicine, agriculture and science,
he said
Doctors, nurses, technicians,
English teachers and mechanical
engineers are specific skills in de-
mand.
