teaching demonstrations, even;
though he was often limited to
50-minute classroom sessions.,
Teacher's Qualities
A language teacher, Varasteh
said, should possess three qual-)
ities: 1) adequate knowledge of1
the language being taught and the
language of the students, 2)
knowledge of the principles of
applied linguistics, and 3) knowl-
edge of the specific problems in-
volved in teaching the two par-"
ticular languages.#
The "best" language instructors,
however, have an added quality of
being "born teachers." They are
the masters of the classroom, able
to catch and control the attention
of the students solely through the
effectiveness and intensity of their
presentation.
The Iranian educator has tra-
veled and studied widely. He
earned his Ph.D. in language edu-
cation from the University of Lon-
don, and a Ph.D. in law from the
University of Paris. However, with
the exception of German, the lan-
guages he now knows were learned
in Iran.
He is "deeply grateful" to the
Shah of Iran, he said, for encour-
aging him to continue his studies
and to write his books. He came
into the service of the Shah
twenty-five years ago, and has re-
mained close to the court since
then. Presently, he is the personal
librarian to him, in charge of his
extensive collectionsof books and
precious manuscripts.

Fund Drive-
For $2,OOO
Starts Today
The Ann Arbor Civic Symphony
begins their annual fund drive to-
day with a goal of $2,000.
The drive is being conducted by
the Women's Association of the
symphony with Mrs. Albert H.
Marckwardt at the head.
The drive is to be conducted by
a personal appeal through the
mail.
The $2,000 goal represents a
carefully budgeted sum which goes
toward the conductor's salary and
orchestral expenses such as hon-
orariums for soloists, music pur-
chase and rental, concert pro-
grams, instrument repair and au-
ditorium labor fees.
And of the total, $500 is to be
used for music scholarships. Gifted
musical high school pupils are
sent to the University's National
Music Camp at Interlochen. Also
according to the circumstances;
they are encouraged to enter a
music school after high school
graduation.
Further uses of the money may
be toward private lessons for a
talented youngster, or towards tui-
tion at a music camp in another
part of the country.
Prof. Alfven
To Visit H ere
A distinguished Swedish physi-
cist will meet with University
students and faculty members to-
morrow and Friday as a visiting
research scientist with the Insti-
tute of Science and Technology.
Prof. Hannes Alfven, head of
the electronics department at the
Royal Institute of Technology in
Stockholm, will lecture on magne-'
tohydrodynamics, a field in which'
he has pioneered,- at 4:15 p.m.
Friday in Rackham Amphitheatre.
During his stay he will also con-
sult with faculty members in en-
gineering, astronomy, physics and
mathematics.
Professor Alfven has done con-
siderable advisory work in Euro-
pean and United States laboratory
facilities on magnetohydrodynam-
ics, a relatively new branch of
physics, studying the motion of an
electrically conducting fluid in the
presence of a magnetic field.
A photographic exhibition, "Ven-
ezuelan Architecture," opens today
at the University Museum of Art.
Sponsored by the Museum of
Art, the Venezuelan Society of
Architects and Creole Petroleum
Corporation, the exhibition in-
cludes about 50 panels and a num-
ber of color transparencies. It
will continue through Jan. 30.
It is the first of its kind in this
country. The Exhibit portrays
many of the dramatic social and
economic changes in Venezuela
during the last ten years, as re-
flected in its contemporary archi-
tecture.
Photography Exhibition
Begins at 'U' Museum
ture such as freedom of architec-
tural expression, color as an archi-
tectural tool, development of co-
operative effort between artist and
architect, as well as city and re-
gional planning, are emphasized in
the photographic panels and trans-
parencies.
Several examples of distin-
guished colonial and neo-classic
buildings are also being shown.
However, the bulk of the exhibit
shows Venezuela's fast transfor-
mation into one of the world's
most modern nations.
The growth is related to the
development of Venezuela's vast
Aspects of Venezuelan architec- [resources over the last 20 years.

PEERLESS COMEDY!
"Here is SHAW cascading away at high speed undermining
religion, turning morality upside down, deriding idealism, de-
nouncing poverty as crime, sanctifying wealth and power, and as
usual, doing what he ought not with wit, lightness, mockery and
dexterity." (Atkinson, N.Y. Times)
