THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1957 THE CAMPUS ECHO PAGE SEVEN President Pleads For Cooperation In First Speech By RUTH ROYSTER On Tuesday, September 30, J. Levonne Chambers was officially inaugurated president of the North Carolina College Student Government Association. The im pressive ceremony was held in B. N. Duke Auditorium during the regular upperclassmen’s as sembly. Moses Burt, Chief Jus tice of Student Supreme Court, administered the oath of office to Chambers anc( other Student Government officers. Oiir president promised to sup port the doctrine of Student Self- Direction and stated “I firmly believe that each student should have the privilege to voice his opinion about student policies and rules of our institution. The goals of the Student Government, he further stated “can not be realized through a few elected officers alone. Each student has ,a responsibility to carry out the programs we have planned. We hope that each student and stu dent organization will give wholehearted support to the Student Government.” In commenting on the student- facuity relations, Chambers said “new programs are met with op position by people who have en gulfed themselves with philo sophies of previous leaders ahd by people who do not fully un derstand the philosophy which a new leader is trying to introduce. Since its establishment student governments have attempted to outline a program that would fall within the framework of Stu dent Self Direction. I do not say that their attempts have been . failures, merely that they have been strongly opposed by people who do not accept the new ap proach to solving student prob lems. Because of opposition to the program and because of lack of understanding, different stu dents have made different ap proaches to student problems. Some have resulted in demon stration and strikes.” The president made clear, however, that he is opposed to demonstrations and strikes “be cause they only create confusion and intelligent people, do not re sort to them but settle their dis putes through negotiations.” Mr. Chambers also emphasized the importance of the Student Courts in settling student cases FOB n In REAL ESTATE, RENTING INSURANCE, REPAIRS AND BUILDING SUPPLIES Se« Union Insura IK c‘ And Realty Co. 814 FAYETTEVILLE ST.

From the students we ask genuine interest and sup port. With all of the forces com bined, I believe, in fact, I know that we will have the strongest Student Government ever.” McClain Elected SNEA President Mrs. Helen McClain, senior commerce major, was elected president of the local chapter of the Student National Education Association recently.

A Fan Looks At The 'Modern Idiom' By HAROLD HAUSER Musically speaking, I am a de votee of the “modern idiom.” I think there is nothing qxiite so pleasing as listening to the pul sating rhythms and experiencing the pleasant nostalgia evoked by modern jazz. I am delighted to hear an orchestra swinging gracefully to one of the imagina- tive, new, Afro-Cuban composi tions. I get a thrill from listen ing to a virile, swinging power house or from hearing huge sounds emanating from the blas ting brassiness characteristic of the modern jazz orchestra. I feel a personal magnetism toward the soloist who has the rare ability to extract from his of equipment and reprints of published articles.. Dr. J. S. Himes received $10.80 to pur chase reprints of “Changing So cial Roles in the New South.” instrument distinctive sounds, flair, and depth. I like the mo dem jazz musician who uses his instrument to display its unique and versatile tonal qualities, who shapes and pats and kneads his instrument until he is playing at the top level of his ability. I am fascinated by an artist who, per chance playing “Stella by Star light,” feels and plays his instru ment so expertly that the listen er can almost see Stella becom ing a living soul endowed with the breath of life and being just as beautiful as the artist’s solo suggests. My idea of an enjoyable after noon is to sit undisturbed among my records and listen to modern jazz in all of its true scope— from expressions of tranquility and solitude to manifestations of pulsation and excitement, all in terwoven in the congenial fabric of the modern jazz orchestra.
