SGA Gives
Payton $250
The SGA last Wednesday night
approved a motion to supply
Bill Payton, frosh class Presi
dent, with “at least $250” to
ward the total needed for the
Spring Dance.
In the regular weekly meet
ing of the student government,
Pa°yton asked Roger Jones, SGA
Vice - President, just how much
money he would be allotted by
the SGA. After some discussion
among the members, Lynn Hor
ry proposed that at least $250
be set aside for the dance.
‘“What does ‘at least’ mean?”
asked Payton.
“Well, we’ll give you $250,
and if you need more, we’ll try
to make ends meet,” Sam Rob
inson, Soph President, explain
ed.
At that point Miss Horry’s mo
tion was put to a vote, and was
passed unanimously. Prior to
the vote, plans for a money-mak-
ing project for the Spring Dance
were discussed. However, noth
ing definite was decided upon.

From the opening note of
' (. j i golden trumpet, the
students and townspeople alike
L=tc;ed enthralled as the Pre
servation Hall Jazz Band from
New Orleans introduced them
to pre-Dixieland New Orleans
Jazz. As they listened and ap
plauded, the band led them in
to participation and a certain
understanding appreciation of
their swinging rhythms. The
natural, impromptu nature of
their performance kept the
audience suspended for the full
two hours.
DeDe’s trumpet led the way
with a sure jazz beat. His
French version of “Hello Dol
ly” was his and his alone
French students strained to in
terpret the New Orleans slang
DeDe could not see his audience,
but his music told them he
could feel and hear them.
When asked backstage how
she played the piano so tireless
ly, Billie Pierce replied, “Its
all I’ve ever done. I don’t think
about being tired. I like to play.”
Her masterful underlying rhy
thm on piano was basic to the
structure of the rolicking jazz.
Her plaintive ‘^Careless Love”
and lonely “St. Louis Blues”
was evidence of her versatility
and understanding of her music.
Jim Robinson’s trombone
would have won a following
without his winning personali
ty. His love of applause, his
good - natured banter enticing
the students to dance, and his
ability to captivate the hearers
The summer course in j
Marine Ecology to be taught j
in the Bahamas is tentatively,
planned for July «57. Any
interested students with a'
good biology background will'
please contact Mrs. Potts.
'j
t. -
'.’ith his trombone made the
evening pass too swiftly.
The drums of Cie Frazier
ranged from barely audible
brushes to the hair - raising
rolling beats of his solo parts.
While autographing a record he
was asked, “When did you
start playing drums?” ‘T guess
it was 1919 that I started fool
ing around with the sticks. I
been doing it ever since.”
Pied Piper clarinetist, Bili
Humphrye, led his entranced,
clapping followers around the
aisles of Dunham Auditorium,
charming even the doubters
with his magic clarinet. His
■'"■prent, treatment of “Closer
Walk With Thee”, his clarinet
.'o!os ,and his onstage antics
won the hearts of the packed
auditorium.
It was a healthy, unfinished,
joyous evening. A quintet of
jazz experts brought to the
Brevard College Campus a
touch of New Orleans, the ir-
resistable urge to be a part of
the music, and the knowing that
the strains of “When The Saints
Go Marching In” means its time
to follow the Pied Piper.

Science Flair
Alpha Beta Gamma tapped
thirteen new members at an
assembly held in Dunham Audi
torium on Thursday, February
8. The newly inducted members
are William Broome, William
Buck, Dennis Carrick, Jackie
Collins, June Garren, James
Groves, Donys Kaye Holtzclaw,

colleges. The first chapter was
organized at Asheville - Bilt-
more College in 1952. The sec
ond chapter was organized the
following year at Brevard.
There are now eight chapters
in the southeastrn states.
The name originated from
the three types of radiation com
ing from radioactive matter—
alpha and beta particles and
gamma rays. The seal is a chem

compound, benzene, in black on
a gold background. The Greek
symbols for alpha, beta, and
gamma are superimposed upon
the benzene ring.
