The Three D’s, a vocal and
instrumental trio, will appear
in concert tonight at eight
o’clock. The Capital recording
artists, who are being sponsor
ed by the S. G. A., will present
the Three R’s — Rhyme, Rhy
thm, and Reason.
The Three R’s are the trio’s
unique and original variations
of some of the more famous
poetry of our literary world.
Such poems as “Charge of the
Light Brigrade,” “Jabber-
wocky” and “Annabel Lee” are
included on the agenda. In addi
tion to their creative presenta
tion of certain poems, they also
feature pops, folk, and semi-
classical music to go along
with their distinctly comical
commentaries.
The Three D’s, Dick Davis,
Denis Sorenson and Duane Hiatt,
are graduates of Brigham Young
University where the trio origi
nated. The versatility of the
group is seen in the various
musical Instruments that ac
company their songs. Through
out the course of the concert,
five guitars, a bass fiddle, ban
jos, trumpet, conga drum, bon
gos, piano, and occasionally a
melophone, harmonicas and fin
ger cymbols are used.
The group is currently touring
various Colleges on the East
Coast. They have appeared at
the University of California,
Stanford, Brigham Young U.,
Washington State University,
the University of Texas and
countless other colleges and
universities where standing
ovations were not uncommon.
They have also appeared with
Bob Hope, Jonathan Winters,
and Bob Newhart, as well as
singing the theme song for the
Paramount Movie “Town Tam
er.” Currently the trio has
Dukes Of Dixieland Swing By 'Burg
On February 7, Louisburg
College students heard the
Dukes of Dixieland, perhaps the
most well-known of all perfor
mers to play at the College this
year. The spontaneous and co
lorful Dukes provided an excit
ing evening for those who at
tended the concert.
The group played mainly their
own renditions of old-time jazz
favorites. The leader, Frank
Assunto, was at his casual witty
best, as he attempted to trans
form AC auditorium into a dusky
New Orleans nightclub.
Drummer Barret Deems
added color to the program with
his solo drum performances, as
the other members of the band
“took five” backstage. He
talked to the drums in his own
brand of jabberwocky and made
several remarks, all of which
were unintelligible to the au
dience. In addition to the Jazz
songs and drum solo, the Dukes
played several songs from
Broadway shows and gave a
stirring rendition of “Dixie”
that prompted a standing ova
tion from the crowd.

In their previous perform
ances they have received such
praiseworthy statements as:
“We’ve had the biggest names in
the business, but we’ve never
had a finer show.” -Robert L.
Spink, California Poly. “They
packed the Bear’s Lair at the
University of California at
Berkeley, and gave a four hour
show that was entertaining to
the last.” “They give a great
show” was the way Bob Enge-
mann of “The Letter men” re
ferred to the trio.
The Three D’s, having ap
peared from Korea to Canada,
will leave for Vlet-Nam in mid-
March where they will perform
for the troops.
College To Have Magazine
The Louisburg College Facul
ty has voted to establish a maga
zine of research in the artsand
sciences, according to Mr.
Umphrey Lee, chairman of the
Publications Committee of the
Faculty. The new publication
will print scholarly articles by
faculty members but will also
l)e open to exceptionally good
articles by students and by
persons outside the College. As
yet unnamed, it will be under
the direction of the Publications
Committee, who will choose the
editor, name the publication,
and act as its editorial board.
“We don’t know Just how often
it will come out," Mr. Lee
stated; “it depends on how much
material we have. We cer
tainly aren’t going to publish
anything that isn’t good, no
matter who writes It. Right
now we have a faculty member
who seems to have discovered
something very important,
something that will get us off
to a fine start.” Mr. Lee de
clined to comment further on
this matter.
Plans for the publication are
still tentative. The first issue
may come out this spring or
early next fall.
The new research publication
is not to l)e confused with The
Collegian, the campus literary
magazine, which will be pub
lished on schedule late this
spring and will be open to
poems, short stories, and short
plays by students and faculty.
Mr. Lee stressed that the new
research publication is for
scientific reports and research
papers - not for literature.
The Collegian is also under the
general direction of the Publi
cations Committee, who also
comprise its editorial board.
