Friday, January 27, 1961 THE CAMPUS ECHO Page Thrkk Hope Held For Jazz Concert U. S. Students Eight groups, each containing twenty to thirty American col-i lege students, will pay a seven- week visit to a European city next summer to study the langu age, culture, and civilization of one country during their stay. Designed for serious students who do not plan to see all of Europe in a short summer, Classrooms Abroad tries to teach a seminar in area studies through a summer of actual liv ing on one of the following cities: Berlin or Tubingen in Germany, Vienna in Austria, Besancon, Grenoble or Pau in France, Madrid or Santander in Spain. Graded classes in small sec tion of six to ten students each tions of six to ten students each can and native professors will deal with the reading of classic cal and modern texts, the daily press, contemporary problems, conversation and composition, pronunciation and grammar. Students will also hear lectured on history and literature and meet with outstanding person nalities. They will have full auditing privileges at the host universities and will participate in all academic and social acti vities with German, Austrian, French, and Spanish students. Members of Classroom Abroad will live with German, Austrian, French, and Spanish^ families, eat most of their meals with the host families and share the activities of their sons and daughters. They will have ample opportunities to meet young people from student, religious, and political organizations. ^tiomoon visits to museums, li braries, factories, youth organi zations, and other points of in terest are included in the pro gram, but many afternoons will be free for reading, relaxation, sports, and meetings with) friends. Tickets for theatres, operas, concerts, and movies in the evening will frequently be provided. Weekend trips will take the members of the groups to lakes and mountains, into the country and to other cities, fa- Serve Pepsi in tlie new sociable Pepsij Go European mous monarteries, festivals, wine cellars, Iron Curtain boun daries, and many other points of interest. Each tour will be fol lowed by a two-week tour of German-French-or Spanish- speaking areas. “We found during the past five summers that it is quite possible, even if you don’t know a word of German, French, or Spanish, to learn more than a year’s worth of college German, French, or Spanish in the course of a summer”, says Dr. Hirsch- bach. Director of Classroom^ Abroad, “provided that we get serious and mature students who are willing to mix business with pleasure.” Dr. Hirschbach, who will head one of the Ger- man-language groups, is an as sistant professor at the Univer sity of Minnesota. Other group directors include professors from Yale, Denison University, Haverford College, Queens Col lege, the University of Georgia, Cornell, and the University of Massachusetts. Classrooms A- broad has grown from eleven students in 1956 to an expected two hundred participants in 1961. Full information on the pro gram can be obtained by writing to Classrooms Abroad, 4171 University Station, Minneapolis 14, Minnesota. Rev. Abernathy (continued from page 1) involved in the integration fight. “We must erase this false im pression from the mind of the American public. This is the meaning of the sit-ins, which I endorse, approve, and rec- ommei^d as a weapon in the struggle. “We must make use of the boycott and selective buying and stop paying for segregation. “We must not lose faith in our nation and in our democracy. World opinion is on our side. The Constitutioft of the United States is on our side. And I hope we have elected a President who is on our side. But I am con fident that God is on our side.” Abernathy was introduced by Lacy Streeter, president of the NCC Student Government As sociation. Inauguration Day 1961 By Ruth N. Horry Simshine Snow Youth Beauty Wisdom Intelligence Courage the watchword Freedom the goal Faith the crown By Harold Hauser The possibility of a good con temporary Jazz concert on our campus is^ almost too much! Af ter all, the last four and one- half years we have had only two Jazz musicians here on our be loved campus: one in the person of Don Shirley (1956), and the other gentleman being the dyna mic Duke Ellington (1959). The latter concert, incidentally, to quote the very versatile Ray Nance, Duke’s trumpeteer and violinist, was “a bit stuffy” for a college community. Frankly, I think it quite a pity that for such a supposedly fine liberal arts college we do not get more good Jazz music. In essence, we do not get more chances to really appreciate what is essen tially ours. But, alas! Amid the gloomy, dark veil of musical deficiency there flutters yet a spark of light. There is a good possibility of the Student Government pro curing one Quincy Jones for a concert on our campus. But who is Quincy Jones? What does he play? If he does appear in con cert, so what? Well, ‘tis true that the name Quincy Jones is not as familiar to us as the names of Spike Dar den, Nick Jeralds, or Lacy Streeter. But I believe that, har boring within the personage of Quincy Jones, is to be found musical genius unparalleled in modern times. For here is a composer who rates with thtJ best. Quincy, having won the Jet Jazz Poll as best composer- arranger is mentioned with Rugulo, Wilkins, Evans, and Richards. Since Quincy has played wltb and arranged for almost every one, including Lionel Hamptora, Count Basie, and Cannonball Adderley, it was almost a mat ter of course that he eventual^ formed his own band. And what a band! Check, if you please, the artists in his first band: saxes: Frank Wess, Zoot Sims, Sahib Shibab; trombones; Jimmy Cleveland, Quentin Jackson, Melba Liston; trumpets: Quincy Jones, Clark Terry, Ernie Royal, Joe Newman; drums: Sara Woodyard; and bass: Milt Hin ton. As any connoiseur knows,^ Quincy has demanded and got some of the “cream of the crop.” Quincy’s band can play any thing—well. Because he is exact the band can swing freely at an express-train tempo or titillate a ballad until the melody haunts you for days. Quincy’s band plays clearly and in tvme. His music seems to come closer* home to the soil of youth tha* the frivolous styles of many other artists. (continued on page 7) SbIgiH refreshes your taste —§ir-sgftens" every puff Created by R. J.
