POEM
I want to ma^e a tree.
A tree, you ask of me?
Why don't you see?
A tree that's free.
Free from weight, burden,care.
Free to drink the sun and air.
I'll make it fair-
I'11 make a pair.
The roots narrow, thin in size
They will grow shallow so tree may
rise
If breeze of lies
Blow from the skies Cathie Wheeler

SIENA REQUIREMENTS
ALTERED
The age requirements for
application to Siepa have been
broadened to include students
who are in the current Junior
Class in high school, for orchestral
instrtiments only.
Miss Isenberg said this today,
concerning the progress of prepara
tions for the session:
'^We would like to suggest that
those of you who have an oppor
tunity to participate in some other
summer program, might be wise to
complete those plans, rather than
wait for Siena acceptance. The
deadline for applications has, of
necessity, been extended to April
15, and the^e. will be more audi
tions May 6 and 7. Therefore,
we will not be able to notify you
of acceptance before the middle of
May. We regret that our plans have
had to be revised. We know that
every NCSA student understands our
problems."

Summer Schoql faculty members and

ON CHILDRENAUDIENCES
(con't from '^g.2)
Children are greatly under
estimated in their powers to as
similate art, especially music.
Though they may not appreciate
great works on the same plane as
the more mature listener, it is
often the more obstruse classical
works which appeal to them over
the lighter works. Out of a pro
gram consisting of Mozatrt's Figaro,
Handel's Karp concerto, Menotti's
Suite from Amahl and the Night
\isitors. Anderson's Syncopated
Clock, Chaikowsky's Waltz of the
Flowers, Thompson's The Alligator
and the Coon, audience reactions
indicated clearly that they prefer
red the Mozart, the Handel and »^he
Chaikowsky works.We have learned
that children receive good music
honestly, and tiiey are good list
eners. It is a pleasure to play
for them.
Happiness is seeing Mr. Rush and
Mr. Stewart being interviewed on TV.
