it is certain that the
ethnic groups who used to sing
ethnic group who used to sing
them would use their best pitch
and voice. Some folk singers,
such as Leon Bibb, the New
Christy Minstrels, and Bobby
Dylan, have obtained folk quali
ty by dressing the part, writing
folk characterized sketches of
their lives, and by singing songs
of the ethnics; however they
have not mastered the art of
alluring audience to emotional
depths and enhancing their life
by uplifting the soul. Peter, Paul
and Mary do just that. They sing
for purpose.
At the climax of their per
formance in Durham, they told
how they began singing for
freedom, not just of the Negro,
but of the world. Since their be
ginning about four years ago at
Greenwich Village’s “Village
Gate,” they have been making
appearance at such freedom
rallies as the March on Washing
ton and many smaller ones.
Their songs are freedom orient
ed. “How many years can some
people exist before they’re al
lowed to be free,” is a line from
one of their freedom songs
Which usually accompanies
every concert.
It is a false statement that a
group must sing off pitch and
dress dirty in order to be a real
folk group. If a folk group has
the natural talent for singing—
lessons aid in bringing natural
talents out—and the soul which
relates to souls on a mass level,
they certainly are deserving of
the “folk” label.
It is to be understood that
once a group has taken lessens,
they lose the title “Raw Folk
Singers;” Peter, Paul, and Mary
Will go on attracting large audi
ences, even after folk music
ceases to be a mass novelty.
They have that certain folk
quality that activates your soul
and puts your mind into action.
As long as folk singers continue
to be entirely interested ill
people, then we will always
have fine folk music, especially
from Peter, Paul and Mary.
land and presented capital im
provement budget requests tota
ling $7,741,00 for the 1965-67
biennium in a meeting with
members of the State Advisory
Budget Commission.
Massie declared that land for
the college’s expansion “is our
most urgent need if we are to
move ahead.”
“We are now having to demo
lish current structures on the
campus in order to build new
ones, and most of the buildings
we are destroying are still ade
quate,” he said.
Requesting $200,000 for ad
ditional land, he stated the pro
posed purchases would increase
the college’s propierty from 53
to 64 acres and would enable
the institution to increase its
student body from 2,600 to
3,000 within the next three
years.
On the college’s list of priori
ty requests also were a new
dormitory for 400 women cost
ing $1,200,000 and repairs and
enlargement of the central
heating plant costing $250,000.
Other requests, in order of
their priorities, included air
conditioning for six buildings,
building, $965,000; an addition
to the science building, $260,
000; resurfacing of roads, $10,
000; repairs to the gymnasium,
$40,000.
Dr. Massie requested also a
new president’s home costing
$67,000; a new dormitory for
200 men, $600,000; a fine arts
building, $1,000,000; a health-
sciences building, $575,000; a
new athletic field $540,000;
and an addition to the home
economics building, $70,000. He
requested $25,00 for long-range
campus planning, to match a
planning grant made to the col
lege by The Duke Endowment.
Recommendations for major
renovations include the follow
ing; clock system, $18,000; ten
nis courts and track, $32,000;
the current fine arts building,
$110,000; Old Senior Dormi

Mrs. Jocelyn Stevens and Mrs.
Lafayette Lipscomb.
Mrs. Stevens discussed Victor
Lasky’s J.F.K.: Man and Myth,
the book of which sales and
promotion were temporarily
suspended by the Macmillian
Publishing Company immediate
ly after the assassination of the
late President Kennedy.
The review described the
work as a lampoon upon John
Fitzgerald Kennedy—^t racing
the migration of the Kennedys
from Ireland through the elec
tion campaign of 1960 and the
early months of Kennedy’s presi
dency. Lasky, according to the
reviewer, reveals all rumors,
facts and fictitious, as he suc
cessfully launches his bitter
attack on J.F.K.
Mrs. Lipscomb reviewed
Harry Golden’s Mr. Kennedy
and the Negro, a serious analy
sis and study of the Negro move
ment for total equality in the
United States and of the late
President Kennedy’s total com
mitment to that social revo
lution. The work includes a
historical sketch of the civil
rights movement from its earli
est begiimings in the 1890’s
through the assassination of
President Kennedy.
Both books were recently pur
chased by the library and are
in the circulation department of
the library.
