MR. WHITNEY LeBLANC Baltimore Tutorial Has Great Need For College Student Help Filty-five Negro children want to learn to read, but no one will teach them. They ap-plied to the Baltimore Tutorial Project only to find that there are only fifteen tutors avail-able this fall. A non-profit organization formerly subsidized by the Northern Student Movement, the Baltimore Tutorial Pro-ject works from the base-ment floor of 1520 East Monument Street, in the heart of the East Baltimore Negro Ghetto. William Henry, former Morgan Col-lege student, is the execu-tive director over the pro-ject's activities, which in-clude a nursery school and programs in art, drama and music appreciation. ""What we need are college students,"" Henry explained, ""who will give an hour and a half a week in the evening and an hour and a half on Satur-days to salvage a potential drop-out."" He emphasized that students needn't be experienced, ""just willing."" Tutor Service Now Given By M.E.N.C. Club The Music Educators Na-tional Conference Chapter at Towson State College is now offering free tutoring services for takipg a Fundamentals of Music course. Those persons who need help in this course are re-quested to obtain the name of an M.E.N.C. student mem-ber, listed in all Fundamen-tals classrooms and on the bulletin board in front of Stephens 11. Contact this member as soon as possible by mail in order to make suitable tutoring arrange-ments. Membership in M.E.N.C. is not limited to music majors, but is open to any students inter-ested in music education. Lois Berg, Towson sophomore, tutored this summer and com-mented, ""I tutored three bro-thers, the oldest of which was going to the fourth grade and didn't even. know the alphabet. But David, the oldest, tried hard, and I hear from his mo-ther that his grades have im-proved already. But it wasn't all lessons; we both learned about attitudes and when they got their 'diplomas' at the end of summer, we all looked at school and the world different-ly."" Interested students are en-couraged to call 327-0033, or write Lois Berg, box 50. LeBlanc New Set Designer Two weeks ago Whitney Le- Blanc made the first of several planned trips to New York - City's Vivian Beaumont Thea-tre in the Lincoln' Center. Le- Blanc is a new assistant pro-fessor in Speech and Dramatics at Towson who accepted a short-term position as assistant set designcr to Robin Wagner, set designe,r at the ""Beaumont Theatre."" Wagner designed the entire et for Jean Paul Sartre's ""The Condemned of Altoona"" to ap-pear next January at the Lin-coln Center. Wagner is the re-sident designer of Arena Stage in Washington, D.C. As assistant set designer, LeBlanc's task is to adapt the set design to the Beau-mont stage. He measures the stage areas and compares the dimensions to Wagner's set drawings. If an alteration is needed, he consults with Wagner. LeBlanc said that the director would probably modify the first set drawings. New drawings will accomodate any requested changes in set construction. However, in LeBlanc's view, the first set of drawings studied two weeks ago look quite pro-mising. LeBlanc is a prolific set designer himself. Last July in Washington, D.C., the Washington Theatre Club gave an exhibit of photo-graphs and drawings of 41 set designs executed by Le- Blanc since 1959. Frazier Lectures On Childhood Education Dr. Alexander Frazier, Pro-fessor of Education at Ohio State University, delivered the first in a series of four lectures to the Ti-Pa-Chi Club on ""Need-ed Research in ChEdhood Edu-cation."" The Club is made up of parents of the children en-rolled at Lida Lee Tall School and the series of lectures is designed to give the parents insight into the uses of experimental schools. Dr. Frazier named four areas where research is needed in ele-mentary schools: First, studies related to learning differences in chudren, especially in relation to sex and socio-cultural dif-ferences are needed. Second, more research is needed on the use and misuse of new materials in the classroom. Third, more research is needed in pre-school education, especially in reading. And fourth, the uses of the un-graded curriculum in elementary schools need to be examined. Meeting Changed The financial committee meeting scheduled for Mon-day evening, October 25, will be held on Tuesday after-noon, October 26, at 3 p.m. in the SGA office. This lecture is the first of four to be presented this year. They are open to Ti-Pa-Chi members and Towson College students. Wanly Attends Conference On School Papers A meeting of Publishers and Superintendents of Schools was held at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C. on October 10 and 11. Mr. Vernon Wanty, re-presenting Towson, was a guest of the Sunpapers as a result of his work as director of the news-peper in the summer workshop. The purpose of the discussion was to decide how the daily newspaper could be used as a teaching tool in the school systems. It was suggested that there should be a closer tie be-tween top administrators of the newspapers and of the schools, which would result in a better understanding between the two. The conference was one of six that are being held throughout the country during the next thirty days. LeBlanc has worked in local theatres and college studios and in workshops in his native Baton Rouge, La., Ohio, and Tennes-see. He matriculated with his B.A. in dramatics from South-ern University and earned an M.F.A. in set designing from the University of Iowa in 1959. Prior to his position here, LeBlanc taught and was techni-cal director at Antioch College for five years. He worked at Howard University in Washing-ton, D.C. last year. Miss Anderzen On Scholarship From Sweden Miss Barbara Anderzen' iS the only girl on campus who is not working for course cre-dits. ""Credits do not matter, It's the degrees,"" she said, re-ferring to the Swedish school system. ""In Sweden, you do not earn a degree by piling up cre-dit hours; you take an exam-ination."" Miss Anderzen speaks Eng-lish fluently. Four years of English is compulsory in the Swedish schools. She pursued a general curriculum in school and applied for a scholarship in her senior year. A one-year Swedish-American Foundation scholarship brought her to Towson. The Foundation is a private, student-grant or-ganization. There is no exam-ination. for this scholarship, as one simply submits a written history of himself to the Fowl' dation. Encouragement fro.' her mother prompted Miss An-derzen to submit her paper. Her home is in the south-east coast-town of Kalmar. Sweden. Her brother, 16, at-tends school there, and her mother is a part-time carto-grapher. Her father is de-ceased. No other family member or relative has ever visited the United States. She sailed from the port nff Goteborg and arrived in NeW York after a nine day triP.
