Similarity?
"What Are You Going To Do About It, Chum?"
Grayson Mills
A nondescript jazz expert
theorized recently that popular
music, haxing begun xvith heavy
influences of African tonalities,
is definitely swinging back to
ward its mother music.
To cite his cause he played Bo
Diddley's all-time rhythm and
blues smash, "Bo Diddley, and
then spun recordings of present
day Ugandans in tribal revelry.
Indeed, the similarity was amaz
ing. Certainly contemporary jazz
still bears the basic roots of its
forefather blues, but I doubt
seriously if its high-brow quali
ty will ultimately swing to loin
cloth code. But then anything
cna happen in music," and usual
ly does."
When the expert gave further
examples by playing some of
Stap Kenton's Afro-Cuban stuff,
his interviewer was nearly con
vinced though a skeptical Cali
ifornia audience failed to be
moved. Still, it's something to
think about . . .
With Roxve, musical columnist
for The Richmond Times - Dis
patch, gol a nasty letter from an
irtae reader Sunday, xvhj ap
parently didn't care for his com
mentary on Brubeck's new jun
ior college album.
' Rowe had remarked earlier in
the week on the amazing close
ness to which Dave stuck in the
melody of W. C. Handy's classic
"St. Louis Blues." asserting that
not even the master of distant
interpolation could improve on
something as great as Handy's
blues.
The reader wrote in true Jon
athan Yardley fashion. "Your
description of Brubeck's music
was a gross misinterpretation . . .
you are living in the past. Dixie
land is deteriorating and mod
ern progressive jazz is the com
ing thing. I really should ignore
you and your lousy comments,
but sometimes you burn mc up."
The continued popularity of
Gene Krupa. over the past 25
xears. became easier than ever
to fathom after reviewing his
latest release, "The Jazz Rhy
thms of Gene Krupa." on Nor
man Granz' Verve label.
The album, a radical change
for the better after some of his
recent insipid renovations of old
favorites, showcases the never
ending ability of this all-time
great to keep abreast of the
times.
Surrounded by his popular
trio of Bobby Scott on piano.
Eddie Shu on tenor, and Brit
ain's John Drew on bass. Gene
swings through Tenderly, TeePee.
S'Wonderful. Hipdeebip. Krupa's
Wail. Strike Up the Band. Un
decided and Gene's Bass Blues.
Starting out miserably on Ten
derly, the bays really dig in on
TeePee and don't stop until the
final bar of the Bass Blues.
Eddie Shu apexes the album
xvith seme wonderful thinking on
Undecided, and . the Wail is prob
ably the longest Krupa solo on
record.
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW:
Lonely In The Athletic Crowd:
History Squad Achievement
Everyone knows about the
astonishing upset pulled off by
Jim Tatum's 'boys last Saturday.
Not so many people know about
the equally astonishing upset
pulled off by The History Squad
when last week they set a new
national record for the num
ber of footnotes garnered in a
seven-day period. We know that
all Tarheels will get renewed in
spiration from the following question-answer
interview xvith Coach
Fletcher "Fickle Fletch" Green.
Q Fickle Fletch, do you feel
that your boys have finally ar
rived, that this upset of last week
marks the turning point?
A Well, (chuckle) I don't
know whether we've "arrived" or
not. But we're not "leaving," I'll
assure you of that.
Q That last reference is to
the team?
A No. its' a reference to me.
After last week's great victory.
I've got a new contract. I'm now
making almost half as much as
Jim Tatum.
Q Congratulations, F i c k 1 e
Fletch. I'm sure all of your
many fans throughout the state
will be thrilled by your good
fortune. Now, about last week.
Do you feel that "breaks" play
ed a part in this new national
record for footnotes which your
boys set?
A Well, (chuckle) I always
say that a good team makes its
own breaks. For example when
Jim Dorman's ball point pen
ran out of ink it looked as
though we were through. But
Dorman used his head, he did
n't panic. He raced to Doug
Steeple's carrel, and Steeple had
an extra pencil. A lot of the li
brarians thought this xvas "a
lucky break.'' Actually, it was
fast thinking on Dorman's part,
and solid preparation on Steeple's
part.
Q Fickle Fletch. what are
some of the other factors in
volved in this new national rec
ord for footnotes?,
A Well, (chuckle) there are
really so manv factors involved
in a team victory like this that I
sort of hate to try and list them.
There's a whole new policy
around here these days. We nowr
have a special dorm for the his
tory squad, and a good training
table which serves lots of beer
and pretzels, and other men on
the faculty such as Jim Tatum
have thoughtfully scheduled
their classes so as to give our
boys the maximum amount of
time in the library.
Q What about the alumni?
A Yes. the alumni (chuckle).
Just the other day a xvell-heeled
Tarheel gave !me a thousand
dollars and told me to go out
and buy the best history squad
in the country. Well, you know
inflation has set in, and you
can't buy a squad with that kind
of money. But I did get one good
boy. He was ticketed for Harvard
and I (chuckle) stole him right
from under Crane Briton's nose.
Q-And the other students?
Do you feel there has been a
revival of campus spirit?
A Yes, of course, and it's
been crucially important. Wrhen
our boys were desperately fight
ing the clock, in the xerj' bowels
of the library, trying frantically
to get those last few footnotes
that would nail down the nation
al record it xvas an inspiration
for them when they heard those
thousands of students yell:
"Don't gloat; Grab 'um footnote."
And so. with renewed x-igor, they
got those last few footnotes and
then ran out the clock for a
magnificent victory.
Q Thank you very much, Fig
kle Fletch. Do you have any last
words?
A Yes. we are now embark
ed on a new era in UXC Histori
ography. I can't begin to tell
xou how important Home Securi
ty's Family Plan life insurance
is. My-kids think it's great and
yours will too.
Q But I don't have any kids.
A Don't bother me with your
problems. I have to get back to
my squad.

READERS' REPOSITORY:
Historic Meeting
i
Gets No Fanfare
EDITOR:
On Tuesday morning, Oct 1 1957 .t: 11 o'clock,
a rather historic meeting took place xn South Build
!n It happened very quietly, with no fanfare, no
-totad the desk sat a young man with coal black
hair and a face that looked as if it might have
been hewn out of something stronger than human
flesh except when he smiled. Around him sat the
department heads of the University, quiet, business-
ike, friendly.' , ,
And then four people entered the room who
had ttever heen there before in the history of the
University for such a purpose. They had come at
the invitation of the man behind the desk, Chan
cellor William B. Aycock. And then, the historic
meeting began. .
' What transpired there is recorded in the min
utes of the meeting and this information will be
made known to all ,on the pages of this paper.
This open letter is xvritten as a commentary to re
veal anf impression of the occasion.
' The most "important aspect of the incident is
that the meeting had been called in the first place.
Thf fr-reshin? effect of the conference will not
be felt until ' later, but its present importance is
its stual occurrence.
If nothing had been engaged in except polite
introductions, the meeting would not have lost any
thin in the wav of significance for the moment.
Th four who entered the room last were stu-ri-ntc
n-io HaH hen invited bv the chancellor and
his aides to take part in the discussion and plan
ning for the present and future welfare of the Uni
versity., Never before, in the history of the Uni
versity, has the administration invited students to
help them plan for a future and a growth.
An unprecedented mox'e had been made, and a
movement begun which will add a great deal to
student-faculty-administration relations, which will
mean that the administration is constantly aware
of the student viewpoint in ttfreir preparation for
a larger and better University.
And it will mean that the student body will
hav a vice in the makinff of decisions xvhich di
rectly affect their lives, and the lix-es of their chil
dren 20 vears from noxv.
It is imnortant. I beliex-e. for each student to
acquaint himself xvith the importance and signifi
cance and activity of this new Chancellor's Cahi
rt It is ecmally important for all of us to realize
,.-u-,t a thorough, capable, and dedicated man Chan
ce11 nr Avrock is.
Tf i? oVoav apparent that he is fully-capable
of becoming the legend that Robert Burton House
jt f0ov an niSUal man to fill the
shoe that House left here, and if Aycock doesn't
fi" ihom in time, a great manj' people iyill be
qui surprised.
T ur?P all of you to follow the activities of this
ravr.M n rosVo voir opinion; known to the Presi
dent of he Student Bodv. and to look bevond with
chancellor Ax-cock to a truly greater University.
IT has a d-pn. and vision, which with our help,
xvill be realized.

EDITOR:
When The Daily Tar Heel resorts to publishing
material such as Mr. Crowther's article, one xvould
be led to believe that your staff was having a great
difficulty collecting material, however; it is hard
tc rationalize this when one considers the many
activities which take place on the campus.
Until Thursday we had followed your columns
with interest. What has happened? It is hard for
students to understand why a school paper would
publish such trash.
Mr. Crowther, you stated that your mind was
distorted by nrcrphine; oh. no I believe you used
the xvord "effected.' when your illicit experience
took place. We wonder if your mind was not dis
torted when you wrote your "Farewell."
