'ASTONISHING':
Turk Views Music Schools
Campus Calendar

By HELENE SIMON
"Because all my knowledge of
American music has come from
movies and jazz, I am astonished
to see how far ahead America is
in the field of musical education,"
Mitat Fenman, Director of the
Ankara State Conservatory, de-
clared.
Fenmen is visiting the musical
Institutions of the United States
under the auspices of the Depart-
ment of State.
WHAT IMPRESSED the distin-
guished Turk most was the op-
portunity that American children
are given to express themselves
musically. This, he notedis very
rare in other countries.
Director Fenmen was especial-
ly intereste in the musical tests
that are given to children in
this country to classify their
musical ability. "Teachers do
not go far enough to discover the
talent that a child has in him,"
he said..
"In the future," Fenmen pre-
dicted, "musical culture will
spread out from the large cities
to the small towns of America."

DURING his stay ii Ann Arbor,
the cordial musician has talked
Sto music professors and sat in
on University classes. "American
classrooms are less formal and
there seems to be less of a barrier
between student and teacher," he
observed.
On his tour the noted musician
has visited such cities as New
York, Chicago, Rochester, Wash-
ington and Boston. While he
was in Houston, Texas, the
Houston Symphony gave a con-
cert for Turkey, dedicated to the
'Mayor of Ankara'.
Fenment will return to Turkey
March 27 after attending the Na-
tional Music Education Conference
"in Philadelphia.
The American music student is
International
Center Slates
Election Talks.
Realizing that the foreign stu-
dent may be confused by the cur-
rent presidential campaign, the
International Center has planned
activities to help clarify the issue.
Prof. Samuel Eldersveld of the
political science department will
discuss the United States Electoral
System at 8:30 p.m. today in the
Center. His talk will be recorded
on tape for future use in small dis-
cussion groups.
To enable students to see the
operation of the political system
at the grass roots level, trips
have been arranged to the Re.
publican Convention of Washte-
naw County on March 18 and
to the Democratic Convention
March 31, according to Erie L.
Stewart, Intercultural Activities'
Coordinator.
The International Center has
scheduled other programs through-
out the spring. Prof. Dow Baxter
of the botany department will
show movies of Alaska March 23
and the following week will show
films of Switzerland.
