  • PAGE EIGHT THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN MONDAY, APRIL 7, 1947 QiftHtM i i niiiiiiiiMMiirjmHtiii it*m{7 Musicians 1 n.»,,,,,,IIIIIIIM,Hll!ll,lll,l IIMIMIIMMIttMM ,M.„,(7] By BENNY GOODMAN Leadership in musical progress and advancement of musicianship will come from America's new crop of unviersity men and women. I've come to realize the .importance of this fact during my six-month stay in California. During these months I have had occasion to work with and to observe many of the new college bred musicians, and I have learned the true extent of the campus influence on modern American music. First, let's take the trends of music. It is the endorsement of campus people across the country that seals the fate of new music. Back in the twenties and the wild college days, we led into an era of rather fantastic musical arrangements. The more serious nature of today's university students is reflected in today's music. The best and most acceptable must have a studied perfection to meet approval of the critical college group. Musicians who fail to recognize this do not last long at the top, if they ever get there. Don't misunderstand me. I have no ax to grind with the musician who never went to college. I had no college education myself, for that matter. But I feel strongly that we are getting an increasingly better type of musician from the college group. They not only understand the pulse of today's music better, but they are helping to raise the level of all popular music. There was a time when the music expression of America came primarily from the violent emotions of large groups of underprivileged people. But America has come far. The Monogram Club Will Sponsor An Amateur Show r BENNY GOODMAN shown here with his famed clarinet, has just cut his first records undci a new exclusive contract with Capitol Records, Inc. country has been raised. The na tion suffered the pains of yet another great war, but the growth continued. Today we have more people attending universities than ever before. These influences are already being felt in the music of America, and more and more we must look to the university educated to help us give adequate interpretation to that music. That is why I feel sure a large part of my next band will be made up of university-educated musicians. They are the young men of the day. They are ones who must give voice to the emotions of a people whose standard of living is higher than any others in the world. They are the ones who must give us leadership. Many college musicians have already played a part in this musical growth. Some good examples are Woody Herman, Marquette University; Les Brown, Duke University; Jimmie Lunceford, Fisk University; Paul Weston, Dartmouth College and Columbia Un- Methodist Church Sponsors Supper The Fellowship supper, sponsored by the Methodist church each quarter, was enjoyed by a large group of people on Sunday, March 18. Both old and young participated in the event, to which the women brought covered dishes for the meal. The district superintendent was present and after dinner a business meeting was held, at which reports were made by the various organizations of the church. Ralph Williams will be master of ceremonies at the amateur show which will be sponsored by the Monogram club, April 25th., acording to Frank Hardin, vice- president of the club. Participation will be open to any and all performers. Three prizes will be offered, first prize will be fifteen dollars, second prize ten dollars, and third prize five dollars. Admission will be thirty- five and fifty cents. Baseball Schedule iversity, and Fred Waring, Pennsylvania State College.

Thanks to Mead Corporation, W.C.T.C. now has a practice football and baseball field. A committee consisting of Mr. Clint Dodson, Mr. Sutton,, and Mr. Stedman Michael is to see that the field is leveled and that grass is sown on the infield. Kay Kyser. In addition to the musicians themselves, the reactions from American campus groups are powerful influences. We who play the music may play as we feel, but your reactions to our music give us the guide to our success at interpretation. If we miss, we hear about it. If our musicianship is good, your critical reports tell us. Sometimes I am asked what my advice to a young musicianship would be. The old saw about lots of hard work is always good, but possibly more important still is the recommendation to play the music as you feel it. Similarly, the future of American music depends upon the freedom of college and university people to express themselves ABOUT music, even though they are not musicians. We must have their true reactions in order to give them the music that is truly expressive of the modern American spirit. Certain bugs can float on water because nature has endowed them with an oil which acts as an elastic blanket. You can accomplish the same effect with a needle —making it float on water—if you first immerse the needle in thin lubricating oil, wipe it off, leaving a microscopic film. The needle must then be placed carefully on the water. It will float, even though steel is heavier than water. The United States have about 140 tornadoes each year. They kill about 250 people annually and do about 10 million dollars worth of damage. (*J(MMHilliMIHirMMillMIIMtlimtltl1IMMinHltHHtlMim| GRIPES rjjliiHitMt linn i , i mil mtinQ Do people annoy you? Do you wake in the morning feeling as if you never been asleep? On Sunday afternoon are you bored? When ants get into your bag lunch, do you scream? What is your pet peeve? If you are irritated, let's hear it. Martha Lynch is annoyed by two or three girls after what she considers HER property. Melba detests snoopers in the Student union. Clara hates night watchmen who take their job to heart. People with superiority complexes worry Jean Jones. When people begin a conversation early in the morning, it gets Harriet Parker. Vada Lyda pulls her hair when her roomate snores. Pete Poteate just can't stand to see girls hang around the post office and wait for dates. Marie Lesley screams when she hears people yell on the halls. Poly confesses she dislikes competition. Nancy Blanton says it makes her mad for a boy to try and kiss her goodnight. It hurts Shot for people to say she is too young to be in love. Joan Rogers can't bear for people to threaten to quit school. Loee dislikes chasing a boy and getting no response, also she dislikes wedding announcements. Faye Davis is irritated when drawers squeak. Jean Hall's peeve is buddie- buddie. Jo Pryor doesn't like beautiful cars with drippy drivers. Bobbie Higgens doesn't want love affairs to begin at home. Never call Jeff a "good old gal." Lallage Johnson hates to itch in public when she can't scratch. Cosette is worried by too many irons in the fire. As a closing note may I add that a certain Miss Eades is irritating some three floors of Moore Dormitory and don't quote me. COATS THAT GROW WITH YOUR CHILD should be available this spring. When your son or daughter outgrows the coat, yon just cut a concealed thread at cuffs and hem and then press it. FOR YOUR NEXT SUMMER'S VACATION there is a knock-down plywood canoe which can be assembled in 10 minutes, knocked down in 10 seconds. A WINGBACK is a new invention to make earrings stay on without pinching. It's a wire sling, with a hook at the top concealed by the ear. CUP YOUR HANDS under a new kind of liquid soap dispenser and an electric eye sees to it that you get a jet of soap automatically.
