Has Modern Jazz
Gone To College?
By WIILIAM NELSON
In this modern era when new
concepts and ideas in almost
every area of life have develop
ed, new concepts of progressive
jazz in our musical world have
also arisen. Just as much study
and effort are required to per
fect an acceptable jazz form as
are required of some of our clas
sical music. As a matter of fact
some of the leading exponents
of modern jazz, such as Dave
Brubeck, were really trained as
classical musicians.
Since jazz musicians have
carefully studied and attempted
to create a new musical art form
according to the highest musical
standards, it seems as though
this musical art form would be
just as acceptable as classical
music by the American public.
Instead, it has been pointed outi
by such leading musicians as|
Dizzy Gillespie of the jazz world
that there is only a small num
ber of the American people who
really accept this new form of
music, and that out of this small
segment of Americans, the col
lege crowd is the leading caterer
to progressive jazz.
I have read many modern jazz
reviews which pointed out that
many of our leading colleges
have included in their lyceum
programs two or three jazz
groups. There have also beert
several “funky”* sides cut at
concerts on campuses. Some of
the most familiar ones are
“Jazz at Oberlin” by Eii^ubecfc
and “Jazz at Princeton” by the
Johnny Eaton Trio.

Enter Contest
Some lucky NCC student may
get to be a “Wall Street Wiz
ard” before the semester is
over.
All it takes is an entry
blank for Remington Rand’s
“Share of America” contest, in
which the winner gets stocks of
his or her choice final in value
to a share of every common
stock on the New York Stock
Exchange
Remington Rand will pay all
brokerage fees. In addition to
the first prize, there are 504
other stock prizes.
I.^ tiie winnei' hasTTOi: chased a
Remington Electric Shaver dur
ing the contest period, from
September 30 imtil December 1,
all prizes double. First prize
then becomes equivalent to two
shares of every common stock
on the Exchange.
Entry blanks are at any
Remington sales counter and can
also be found in advertisements
in Life, Look, Saturday Even
ing Post, Parade and in news
paper supplements and comics.
If Remington Rand had held
this contest 20 years ago, when
it turned out the first of its
20,000,000 shavers, financial
authorities estimate that the
$156,000 of prize money could
have purchased stocks that
would have a value today in the
millions.
Any student who fancies him
self or herself to be smart with
the pencil, has a chance to be
come a tycoon the easy way.

GREETINGS FROM THE PRESIDENT
I am pleased to join all of the citizens in the North Caro
lina College community in w^elcoming our alumni who are re
turning for our 1957 Homecoming activities.
This year’s program promises to be one of our best. Many
persons have cooperated to plan for the pleasure of our guests
at this season.
Our Student Homecoming Committee has worked- dili
gently with cooperating local citizens, officials and students of
Shaw University, our 1957 guest-opponent, and with our alum
ni in Durham and throughout our country.
We are grateful for the cooperation which the Durham
Business and Professional Chain has given our Homecoming
Committee. Such cooperation has become traditional between
these two groups. Together they have made each succeeding
Homecoming parade more spectacular than the one of the pre
ceding year.
Officials and students of Shaw University have given gen
erously of their time and help. We are pleased to have the
Shaw “Bears” as our opponents because the relationship be
tween our host college and visiting Shaw University has been a
long and pleasant one.
Together our two institutions are engaged in the task of
equipping youth with the kind of cultural, intellectual, and
social competencies that will develop well-integrated person
alities. Important adjuncts to the development of the well-
intergrated personality are the numerous cultural and extra
class activities in which students from our respective institu
tions engage. Our college shares with Shaw University the
firm belief that whereas intellectual discipline formed from
the world’s store house of knowledge is the educator’s major
objective, there also exists the challenge to develop in our stu
dents a sense of social responsibility that will be necessary in
their activities after college.
Athletics, therefore, at our college and at Shaw Universi
ty, become an integral part of our total college program. We
at North Carolina College are proud of out students who are
athletes. We are proud that many of them recently have been
members of championship teams in basketball, football, and
tennis.
Alumni returning to us this,year will perb9P&-i:eg^rd .as,
the foremost attraction the football team in afction against
Shaw. The game, of course, will be the highlight bijt we would
like to point out that during the week-end there will also be
concerts, pep rallies, bon fires, coffee hours, alumni reunions,
art exhibits, tours of the campus, a vesper service, and other
events designed for the pleasure of our returning alumni.
Speaking of our pride in our athletes who are or who have
been students with us naturally brings to mind Lee Calhoim,
our 1957 graduate, who brought us fame by his thrilling vic
tory in the 110 meter high hurdles at the 1956 Olympic Games
in Melbourne, Australia during 1956. I understand that IVfr.
and Mrs. Calhoun, an alumna of whom we are also proud, will
be among our guests this week-end. To them and to all of our
alumni we extend special greetings. We sincerely hope that
all of the many pleasures planned by our students, fellow-cit-
izens, and alumni will contribute to the most enjoyable Home
coming ever.
Sincerely yours,
A. ELDER, President
