The University's National Music
Camp at Interlochen, Michigan
will open its twenty-fifth season
with a full musical summer plan-
ned fo rthe record-breaking enroll-
ment of 1,600 teen-age students.
Founded m 1928 by Joseph E.
Maddy, professor of radio, music,
the camp has grown from its hum-
ble start with 115 students and
a few buildings to become the
world's largest and oldest summer
music Camp.
THIS SUMMER a new $50,000
Administration Building, financed
by students and friends of the
Camp will be dedicated in honor
of Prof. Maddy.
Official opening day cere-
monies for the anniversary year
were held Sunday in the out-
door Interlochen Bowl, where
5,000 visitors joined the teen-
agers, dressed in the uniform
blue corduroy britches, to fill
the rustic benches for the birth-
day celebration.
Years of labor union contro-
versy have clouded the camp's his-
tory, beginning in 1942 when the
teenage symphony orchestra was
banned from the national net-
works, after a row with James C.
Petrillo, president of the American
Federation of. Musicians. The
Camp was blacklisted by the AFM
in 1945 and Prof. Maddy was ex-
pelled from the union for his In-
terlochen activities.

TERMED "THE greatest single
center of youth culture" in the
country, the music camp now
draws non-union faculty from
music colleges and conservatories
from throughout the United
States, and students from 42 states
and Canada.
The first public concert of the
anniversary season will be pre-
sented today by the newly formed
National Music Camp Opera
Company under the direction of
Barre Hill, of the American Con-
servatory of Music in Chicago.
During the 57-day season, the
company will perform 33 per-
formances of 14 different scores.

Pigeon Discovered Hitching Ride
WOLFF ways under a state of tension,
PROF. JOHN SHEPARD of the
psychology department was in-
clined to attribute the pigeon's
train ride to luck. He did not feel
it planned to hitch the ride be-
cause of the lack of evidence that
pigeons are capable of such car-
ryings-on.

Academic Freedom Violations

Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr.'s "What
About Communism" banned by
the Denver Board of Education.
THE ROLE of accuser was
prominently filled last year by the
National Council for American
Education and two American Le-
gion posts.
The Council, headed by Allan
A., ZolI, issued a list entitled
"Reducators at Leading Wom-
en's Colleges." It names 100'
professors in nine schools as
possessing affiliation with "sub-
versive" organizations. Six col-
lege presidents are among the
accused group.
This brought the total of the
NCAE's "reducators" to 345. Pre-,
vious lists had been issued for
Harvard, Chicago, Yale, California,
Stanford, Columbia, Dartmouth
and the California Institute of
Technology.

will be the theme of a two-week,]
two hour credit course at the Uni-
versity July 7 to 18.
The topics for discussion include
child development and pupil ad-
justment, mental and physical]
health of the child, school-com-
munity relations, developing the
basic skills, and evaluation and
College. In a Legion magazine
article written by Louis Budenz,
the school was accused of har-
boring "Communists." The Legion
post in Westchester, New York,
adjacent to Sarah Lawrence, im-
mediately demanded an investi-
gation.
A similar attack on Pennsyl-
vania State College by the Bella-
fonte, Pa. Legion post, also met
with flat refusal to bow to the
pressures.
The University of Colorado
and the University of Minnesota
were both involved in controver-
sies over the disputed firings of
faculty members.
Permission to -leave the coun-
try was refused to two professors,
John L. Fairbanks of Harvard, a
trustee of the Institute of Pacific
Relations and Linius Pauling of
California Institute of Technol-
ogy, who was once charged with
"subversive" affiliations.

OTHER DISPUTES over aca-
demic freedom involved Brooklyn
College which expelled the Young
Progressives; the University of
California which accepted a full-
time state employee to look for
"subversives"; Cornell, where the
president labeled as "leftist" a
petition to have the university
deny its approval to boarding
houses known to discriminate; and
Piedmont College where a trustee
and a dean have resigned in pro-
test over -accepting a grant from
the Texas Educational Associa-
tion; headed by General Van Horn
Mosely, a former American First-

Eastman Says
English Should
Be Improved
By MADELINE SCHULTZ
There is a great heed for im-
proved communication in the
English language-not only for its
commercial value, according to
Arthur M. Eastman of the Eng-
lish department.
Eastman spoke at the second
weekly meeting of the Conference
for English Teachers held Mon-
day.
The topic under discussion was
basic skills in communication for
pupils not going on to college.
Taking part in the discussion were
Dorothy C. Roe, Michigan Bell
Telephone Co.; Brendan Sexton,
educational director, UAW-CIO;
Edgar W. Whan, a production
planner in Kaiser-Frazer Co.; and
Eastman who was group chairman.
* * *
EACH OF these persons felt
that by use of correct grammar,
good speaking ability and legible
handwriting one is able to obtain
a responsible position in either
business or industry.
Practical suggestions to high
school teachers were given. Mrs.
Roe suggested that there should
be more training on conversa-
tion and spelling. She stated
that motivation is being inade-
quately stressed in the schools.
Whan felt that "the way we
write is more important than rules.
Those who understand grammar
know how to use it."
Sexton offered another point of
view. He said that teachers think'
students going into manual labor
do not need grammar. The stu-
dents' interest in reading is there-
by stifled by the training they
receive in school.
