TUESDAY, JULY 14, 1953 THE MI~CHIGAN MILT PAGE THEE ' I 0 al Pediatrics Clinic F un for Children S * * S * * *R * *> By FRAN SHELDON (EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is an interpretation of a child's im- pression of the new University Hospital's Pediatrics Clinic on his first visit there.) Momn was right when she said visiting this Pediatrics Clinic place would be fun. I like the toys. 'Course it'll probably be different when I have to see the doctor- that won't be so much fun and . . . I wish that girl over there would get off that horse so I could ride it. There are enough other things around here for her to play with. Why doesn't she read a book or something? I think I'll bring her one, and then maybe she'll let me have the horse. It's awful funny that Mom is sitting in that corner with all those other ladies. I wonder why she doesn't have fun too. Only all the chairs and tables and things are too small and she'd probably break them if SHE used them. It's too bad the ones we have at home-and the television set, too-aren't all these colors. It's much nicer than all brown stuff. Oh-oh, that lady, "nurse" I think she's called, just said our name. Now the fun's over, I betcha. * * * * THIS MUST BE the doctor's room, and that lady must be the "volunteer" I heard about. Hey, there's a red chair for me, so I'll sit down and let them talk. They're talking about me anyhow. . Whoops, here comes the doctor now. Doesn't really look so bad, but you never can tell. * * * * Well, he was nice-and not even a little tiny bit scary. I like coming here. * * * * -Daily-Lou QuL EVERYTHING FROM RATTLES TO RED RYDER TO ROCKING HORSES -Daily-Lon Qui MAKING FRIENDS AND WINNING CONFIDENCE BY PROF. KOLLEN: Piano Sonata Recital Scheduled for Tonight A piano recital probing the mu- sic of three well-known composers will be presented by Prof. John Kollen of the music school at 8:30 p.m. today in Rackham Lecture Hall. Prof. Kollen's program includes Mozart's Sonata in C major, K. 330, Brahms' Sonata in C major, Op. 5 and Beethoven's Sonata in E-flat major, Op. 31, No. 3. Ad- mission is open to the public with- out charge. COMING to the University in 1934, Prof. Kollen had previously spent many years in Europe both as student and recitalist. His teachers while abroad included Edwin Fischer and Carl Friedberg. In this country he has also been a pupil of Arthur Schnabel. Although his concertizing is now limited primarily to Ann Arbor, since he teaches here, Prof. Kollen has given recitals throughout Germany and in Paris and New York. While in Paris he studied with Nadia Boulanger, the teacher of such composers as Roy Harris, Aaron Copland and the Prof. Ross Lee Finney of the music school. * * *. COMMENTING on the reason a pianist would study composition, Prof. Kollen said that "it is nec- essary for all performing artists to study how music is made in order to project its meaning intelligent- Prof. Kollen was also very en- thusiastic over the freedom a university community affords in selecting programs. On the pro- fessional circuit the concert manager usually keeps serious Astrophysics Talk "Stability of Fluid Systems and Conditions for the Existence of Turbulence" will be discussed by Prof. G. K. Batchelor of Cambridge+ University, England, at 2 p.m. to- day in 1400 Chemistry Bldg. Also as a part of the Symposium+ on Astrophysics, Prof. E. E. Salpe- ter of Cornell University will speak on "Introduction to Nuclear Re- actions" at,3:30 p.m. works at a minimum so there will be ample room for lighter virtuoso pieces. "But in Ann Arbor we can play whatever we like," he explained. "There is no manager's dictating. 'U' Library Lends Discs In a little known spot on campus there are musical treasures both classic and popular to be found, which students have the oppor- tunity to enjoy when they *sud- denly discover its presence. One-hundred thirty-five albums of 12-inch records from Gilbert and Sullivan's "Mikado" to mod- ern Prokovieff symphonies are available for home circulation from the basement study hall of the General Library. Also includ- ed in the collection are 12 long- playing albums with excerpts from "Guys and Dolls" and Rachmani- noff's Piano Concerto. *~ * * THE INITIAL collection of rec- ords was given to the library for student use by Dr. Reed M. Nes- bitt, professor of surgery in medi- cal school in February, 1950. Selec- tions of classical and semi-classi- cal works were included in the gift. The records circulate in the same manner as books, for a one week period. Fines paid for over- due albums and broken records 'are put into a fund for the pur- chase of new records. Since the opening of the record library, heavy losses in scratched and broken records have been suf- fered, and many albums are now incomplete. According to Fred L. Dimock, chief circulation librar- ian, there is no systematic addi- tion to the collection, although oc- casionally a donation in the mem- ory of someone connected with the University has been made. * * * THE LIBRARY collection is the only record library circulating records for home use. The League and Rackham records are restrict- ed to use within the respective buildings, Dimock reported that future purchases will be of long-playing records, to avoid further damage to the collection.

Art .Educator T o Talk Today "The Child as Inventor" will be the subject of a talk by Robert Iglehart of New York University at 4:15 p.m. today in the Rackham Amphitheater. The lecture will be presented in connection with "The Visual Arts in School and Society" program of the College of Architecture and Design. In addition to his position as chairman of the Department of Art Education, at New York Uni- versity Iglehart is vice-chairman of the committee on art educa- tion at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The lecture is open to the pub- lic. Important shortcomings in high school students' education are characterized by a lack of spelling ability, insufficient vocabulary and ignorance of the order of the al- phabet, Clarence Barnhart, editor of the American College Diction- ary, asserted yesterday. In an illustrated lecture before the Conference of English Teach- ers, Barnhart lamented the fact that a student's language trouble stems partly from negligence in teaching dictionary skills. Because two thirds of high school students do not attend college, it is neces- sary for them to learn these skills in high schools, he said. * * * BARNHART suggested that a dozen lessons in dictionary usage, 15 minutes long, should be given the pupil. Regarding the mechanics of the dictionary itself, Barnhart as a professional dictionary-mak- er went into great detail. He said there are two uses for diction- aries: as a text and as a refer- ence. Each should be easy to under- stand as far as clearness of deflni- tion is concerned and accuracy of detail, he declared. However, the dictionary-maker must choose be- tween a great quantity of words and little detail, and a few, better- described words. Radiation Lecture A. H.
