Miles Davis Reaches New Jazz Stature Miles Davis. George Avakjan. and Gil Evans have combined to produce an album that will take its place among the truly great Vecorded jazz performances. It is called "Miles Ahead," and a jnore descriptive title would bo hard to find, for this record sur passes the efforts of almost every jazz artist in reaching new horizons. Few people are fully aware of the importance of Gil Evans in modtrn jazz. He arranged a great part of the Claude Thornehill book during tlie forties, a book that was to have unbounded influence on the formation of what we now call progressive jazz. The band, xv.s a dance band, but it did not restrict itself to the stock repertoire of the average dance band. Instead.' under Evans' tutelage, it explored many facets of big band music tluit had not been considered. Recalling Evans" abilities. George Avakian, Columbia artist and repertoire director. signed him to arrange ten tunes for a Miles Davis big band r.lbum. The choice could not have been wiser, for this band is one of the most exciting things in many years. Strength Enough If Pulled Together Niht Editor .... MANLEY SPRINGS I'roof Reader MANLEY SPRINGS Our New Missile Wind comes noxv that they're (hanging the name of the U. S.'s "Vanguard" missile to "The Cox emiiient Kniployee." Reason: It doesn't xvork and you can't lilt it! . . 1 1, wwn'nw urn Harm Essentially tlie album is a show case for Davis' trumpet and llue gclhorn in which the band plays the part of a cushion. With artists like Ernie Royal. Frank Rehak. and Paul Chambers, it is an ex quisite cushion. It is Davis' horn, however, which is the final de light. Never lias a jazz musician been able to achieve the gentle, other-worldly elfect which Davis does so easily here. I finally have heard tlie personification of the expression 'out on Cloud 13." '"Miles Ahead" is an emotional experience as such it cannot be . merely listened to; it has to be heard, appreciated, understood. Yet it is the perfect mood record. 1 cannot think of a better "record to live to that special girl or to play when you are alone with her and want something quiet. I might add. however, that you will end up being quiet too. for you will feel a compulsion to listen. The allium has been recorded so that each tune runs into the next without interruption. For this rea son one tends to think of it as comprehensive whole rather than a scries of individual pieces. If I had to choose any tunes which appealed to me particularly. 1 would select Dave Brubeck's sensi tive portrayal of Duke Ellington titled simply " The Duke,' and the title song. In conclusion. I can only offer my heartfelt thanks to George Avakian for producing the record, and to Miles Davis and Gil Evans for doing everything right. This is one you can't miss. You owe it to yourself. Miss Moorehead Interviewed Following Performance Here By FRANK CR0UTIIER Last Friday evening, between the frenzied flurry of several af fairs. I had the pleasure of inter viewing Agnes Moorehead. Ray mond Massey and Martin Gabel. Although I was exorcising my typewriter at 4:30 in the Daily Tar Heel office while dressed in khaki trousers, dirty shirt and a day-old beard. I was also knock ing on the door of room No.' 301 in tlie Carolina Inn at 5:15 looking as if I were an advert isment for Brooks Brothers and running over the three thousand questions 1 wanted to ask Agnes Moorehead. i. 1 waited in he living room while Miss Moorehead searched through all the nums for her nightgown, which had apparently disappeared. "I certainly don't think anybody would want THAT for a souvenir," she said. She was dressed in a light blue sweater, full tweed skirt - nd flat heels. Her finely-carved features were almost un-staged. but forgivably. by a generous amount of red hair gathered into a bun and she had the habit of looking directly at you with pier cingly beautiful eyes4 One didn't have to ask if this were the "fabul ous redhead." I started the barrage: Question: Contrary to conceived opinion, don't theater people I mean the real professionals have a high standard of personal val ues? Aren't they almost forced to by the nature of their work? Miss Moorehead: "I don't think we could say that generally . . . or I don't feel qualified to answer for anyone but myself. People of vulues, it's so hard to yet people to accept you for what you are. So many times I've heard people say, 'There, but for the grace of God. go I. If I tried, I could do the same thing.' But they aren't, and they don't . . . and many of them never could because of the sacritices and years of hard work involved." Question: What philosophy would you recommend other than pati ence and dedicated work to a young actor or actress? Miss Moorehead: "I'd want them to realize that The Arts' are extremely hazardous. In any such nebulous medium, you have to expect much disappointment, sorrow, failure and misery. It has its creative magic, but so many only see glamour in the theater and don't recognize that it is 98 percent tedium. This Cindcralla' thing just doesn't exist." Question: Does your own per sonal perspective change consider ably after spending a life in the theater? Miss Moorehead: "Yes, I think so. You know, most actors are really great humanitarians. They have to be. They look at life so much differently and they take a great deal from life. You're al ways observing . . . seeking out .... taking mental pictures. You must face the possibility, however, that you may always be a poor actor or even a complete failure. But that isn't different from any thing else in life. There just are no guarantees or promised re wards. It's the old story of learn ing life's secrets too late and having your greatest appreciation , for it then." Question: How do you like play ing to university audiences? Miss Moorehead: "They're just divine .... just wonderful. And, you know, they're very smart and almost three steps ahead of you from the start. Overall. I've found tlmm quite sympathetic and ready to accept you for what you are and what you have to give." Question: What do you think of the Williams and Kazan type of theater? Miss Mooorehead: "Williams is not my dish of tea. He has done some fine work, but there is too much sickness and sordidness in it. Kazan is a splendid actor and a wonderful director. but it's shock direction. I wish he had a fine spiritual comprehension of theater. I know I do. but I'll prob ably go down fighting because I'm in the minority." We talked for almost 45 minutes and I could hardly relate all that was said. But I can say that she impressed me as being a won derfully sincere and genuine wom an. Agnes Moorehead undoubtedly one of ou rgreat ladies of the theater.

Ed.) The arrival of Chancellor William B. Aycock has brought to the campus an attitude of critical evaluation of every phase of university life and has made this vear one of great potentiality. With his spirit of willingness to learn and to be shown whether students are responsible enough to govern themselves, everything we do and say takes on add ed significance. This does not mean that we should in any way avoid controversy, but, on the other hand." should seek to speak out on those things which are of consequence and significance to this university. If we do not grapple with these prob lems, then we abdicate our responsibility, and there is no real justification for our existence, and, more important, the true value of Student Government as a real contributor to the campus community is lost. : The administration has given us the opportunity to move in the right direction by their invitation to periodic meetings j with the Chancellor's Cabinet; but. Only when we? consider and make recommenda tions in such fields as faculty salaries, insufficient number of sabbatical leaves for faculty members, entrance requirements; university development, stale legislative support for the Extension Division, married students' housing, and all the rest, do we in any way begin to emerge -as the true junior partners in the university community. The University expects to grow to be around ten thousand by 1965. In order to take care of the expected bulge in number of applicants predicted by the experts, it is most probable that the ad missions policy will become more stringent. ' T?fese are a few of the questions I want to ask you tonight. Is the structure of Student Govern ment flexible enough to meet any demands that numbers may place upon it? Can the Honor Coun cil as it is presently constituted accommodate an increased load of cases? Are graduate students, who at present represent twenty per cent of the student enrollment, adequately participating in the decisions in Student Government; what is our future if the graduate enrollment is to increase? In the future, will fraternities or sororities with discriminatory clauses in their charters be allowed to come on the campus, and what do students think about the cur rent presence of these clauses? These and other problems of growth present themselves daily to the administration, and as the Chancellor once said. "We must grow great while we grow large." It is with this background o,f growth, and of an outspok en role for us if we are to be of service that I want to talk with you tonight about a variety of areas. I. DORMITORY LIFE: (1) Since the time that the legislature purchased television sets for the dormitories, students have complained about the lack of funds for television set repair and have asked for some source of money other than the dormitory social lunds be found. The students owe a great debt of thanks to Business Manager J. A. Branch for his sympathetic and un derstanding approach; for, with his help, a conting ency fund from campus stores profits has been set up and a contract let to a Chapel Hill concern for repair of all those sets bought by Student Govern ment five years ago. (2) Dormitories should be complete living units, both socially and. academically, and they do not at present fulfill these needs for a variety of reasons. a. Except in a few, dorms, there is no such thing as quiet hours. The student soon learns that any thing goes because the IDC representatives have the responsibility, but no authority to enforce the rules. The first solution is to give the execu tive committee in each dorm the authority to ask a boy to leave. In addition, as a second line of de fense, the counsellor should be charged with the responsibility and also have the authority to enforce these quiet hours. With only forty per cent of the entering freshmen graduating, some thing must be done to enhance a tradition ot study at the University. b. With the exception of isolated cases. Little coun selling is taking place in the dormitories. Coun sellors are paid1 only S280 (two hundred eighty dollars) a year and are, in too many instances graduate students who do not have an incentive to counsel. Their pay must be increased, and the IDC should participate in the selection of these people. They should be required to submit per iodic reports on each boy. They should have ac cess to the records on each student which now reside in South Building. This is one of the was to correct the antiquated advisor system in South Building which gfows more impossible as the University grows larger. c. Ray Jefferies and Dean Weaver are doing an outstanding job, but you cannot run a counsell ing program for ten thousand students with three or four individuals and one telephone. Tha: is a chronic gripe among student government. The Student Affairs Office must grow as th University grows. d. Student Government should strive to make rec ommendations for improved physical plants both in the present dormitories and in the new ones. The quarters of the counsellors should be con ducive to counselling and should contain tele phones. Hallways should not be caverns which generate noise. A tradition of study in an atmos sphere conducive to academic and social pursuits should always be the underlying principle in the building of these new dormitories. II. THE STUDENT UNION: (1) With the onrushing tide of student popula tion, the need for more recreational facilities grows apparent. We live in a small town; only 15 of the students are in -fraternities; the semester sys tem and the freshman restriction on cars keep stu dents in Chapel H)ll on weekends; 'the present Grah am Memorial is only .one wing of an original build ing planned for 2500 students. Graham Memorial, has had twenty-two directors in the last twenty-five years. For the last several years, the prevalent opinion has been, that the first step in getting a new building .would be to pro cure a permanent, professional, and experienced director to both run the present program and plan for an expanded facility. That man has been ob tained. "
