Enrollment For Summer Sessions
Some 2325 students are enrolled in summer sessions  at

summer enrollment is comprised of graduate students.
Other totals include: freshman
101, sophomores 113, juniors
233, and seniors 686. There are
46 special students and 52

weeks postsession (Aug. 1-19).
The postsessions will consist
of workshops, seminars and
some regular classes.

im Situation
Major William B. Nolde, military science, will give a talk
on "U.S. Involvement in Viet
Nam" this Tuesday at 3 p.m.
in the University Center Ballroom.
This is the second talk of
the CMU Summer Faculty
Lecture Series. The public is
invited to attend any of the
talks in the series.
Alexander Tcherepnin, distinguished Russian-born composer and concert pianist, presented a concert of his own
compositions in a lecture-recital at 8 p.m. last night in
Warriner Auditorium.
His musical education began
in Russia and was completed
in France, where he studied
composition with Paul Vidal
and piano with Isidor Philipp.
In the United States, his
music was introduced in 1923
when Pavlova and her group
danced his ballet, Ajanta't?
Frescoes.
He has made extensive concert tours in China and Japan,
which have enabled him to get
acquainted with the popular
and traditional music of these
countries.
There were two world premieres of his works: "Cantata"
at the Lucerne Festival and
his Ballet in Kiel, Germany;
two U S premieres: "Suite for
Cello Solo" in New York and
"Bagatelles" for piano and
orchestra at Carnegie Hall.
Minneapolis, Pittsburgh,
Philadelphia and Boston have
also heard performances of his
works,
In 1934, his opera Ol-Ol was
produced on Broadway.
Tcherepnin's evolution as a
composer can be divided into
four periods. These are piano
compositions, chamber music,
folklore and new complex
rhythms and form.
The concert is one of the
summer session attractions
sponsored by the Artist Course
Committee.
Among the compositions he
performed were Sonatine Ro-
mantique Opus 4, Preludes
Nostalgiques Opus 23 and Toccata No. 2, Opus 20.
Tcherepnin has recently
taught at DePaul University,
Chicago, as well as performing in concerts throughout the
United States and Europe.
He is a banker from Standish,
Mich.
A replacement for Sivier
must be appointed by the governor.
Among a list of formal recommendations b y President
Judson W. Foust, were masters
programs in home economics
and psychology.
Master's Degree's
The degrees to be earned
on these programs are the MA
in home economics, MA in Psychology, Ed. S. program for
psychology and the Specialist
in Education degree in guidance and counseling.
A raise in field study course
fees was also recommended
from the present $20 per hour
to $22.50 beginning in the fall.
Vice President Norvall C.
Bovee, business and finance,
announced that the new site
map, which shows the campus
as it will appear when it
houses 20,000 students, was
presented to a joint session of
the legislature.
He said that he felt their
reaction was favorable.
President Foust cautioned
the Board that they should anticipate more than the expected 9200 students this fall.
Delinquent Deposits
Many freshmen and transfer
students are being moved up
on the waiting lists because
present students are delinquent in their payment of the
$45. deposit toward tuition.
The summer payroll has
been approved but the final
budget for the 1966-67 school
year has not been signed by
Governor Romney.
The president said he expects the governor to approve
the final budget which is some
$350,000 more than the preliminary budget.
Amendments to the by-laws
were introduced by Dr. Bovee,
the first of which was an
amendment permitting amendments to the by-laws.
