FAMILY EXCURSION:
Frankena To Spend Summer in Japan
By ERNEST THEODOSSIN
"It's a completely new exper-
ence," commented Prof. William 3
Frankena, chairman of the phil-
osophy department, on the trip heb
and his family plan to make to
Japan this summer.
The professor has been invited
to the University of Tokyo to give
a seminar in American Philosophy.1
"It's part of an arrangement with
Stanford University by which five
seminars in American Studies are
being offered at the Japanese uni-.,
versity," he explained.
Actually, the teaching job is
also an excuse for the Frankena
f amily to have an interesting sum-
mer vacation sightseeing, for Mrs.
Frankena and the children will
accompany the philosophy depart-
ment chairman. "And they cer-
tainly deserve it," added the pro-
fessor with a smile.
Family Works for Trip
The Frankena household has
been the scene of much activity
since they decided to make the
trip a family affair. Mrs. Frankena
has done substitute teaching dur-
ing the past year to earn extra
money.
Quiet, mild - mannered Prof.
Frankena is a kind of campus leg-
end. He is soft-spoken with an al-
most monotoned voice and a com-
plete lack of effectual mannerisms.
And although fortyish, he still has
a boyish appearance. Yet, when he
speaks, his words have a quietly
dynamic sort of authority that
quickly captures the listener's at-
tention.
Nationally Acknowledged
The professor is nationally
known as a philosopher. He has
written essays for a number of
books and is a constant contributor
of articles and reviews to philo-
sophical journals. This teaching
invitation is not a surprise to those
familiar with his fine background.)
As to why the seminars' in To-
kyo are being offered, "I suppose
the idea is to represent steps of

American culture and thus estab-

the two countries," Prof. Frankena
surmised. "But I know of no par-
ticular effort to sell America in
any way."
Sometime near the middle of
June the famhily will leave Ann Ar-
bor in a station wagon. They are
delivering it, to friends in Alaska,
from where they will take a plane
to Tokyo. On the journey through
Canada, the Frankenas will camp
outdoors, cooking their meals
along the scenic routes.
No Time for Sightseeing
Once in Japan, "I'm afraid the
family won't like it too much,"
stated the professor. "I'll have to
teach and there won't be much
time for sightseeing. But we plan
to do as much as possible."
The seminar will last from July
6 to August 20. The first week will
consist of conferences with Jap-
anese philos'ophers. Then comes a
four-week seminar in American
philosophy. Although he is not
particularly interested in Japa-
nese philosophy at present, the
professor feels that he probably
will be after the trip.
The final week of the seminar
will be spent at a mountain resort.
The students, graduates or begin-
ning teachers, will have further
conferences with Prof. Frankena.
SL Movies
"The Lavendar Hill Mob"
starring Alec Guinness, will be
presented by SL Cinema Guild
at 7 and 9 p.m. tonight and Fri-
day in the Architecture Audi-
torium.
Claudette Colbert and Patri-
cia Knowles will star in "Three

shown Saturday at 7 and 9 p.m.
