High Fidelity Gifts Make
Cool Noises and Play Long
Since Hi-Fi sets and recordings
have become the rage on campus,
long-playing records will be the in
fallible Christmas gift.
For your friend who prefers jazz
there is a new album by Dave
Brubeck, youngest of the ranking
jazz masters. His new album—
“Brubeck plays Brubeck”— is mak
ing music news and history. In
this album which includes originals
hy Brubeck such as “Swing Bells
and “The Duke,” Brubeck is great
because he gives free reign to his
astonishing solo piano improvisa
tions.
In this album Dave Brubeck gives
way to his imagination and creates
adventures in invention. These re
cords are brilliant creations that
express his thoughts and moods of
the moment. Brubeck’s sponton-
eous presentation is captured on
thrilling high fidelity records.
Michel Legrand and his orchestra
have a new album which is equally
as exciting as his "I Love Paris”
album. In his newest one, “Castles
in Spain,” Legrand presents a vivid
picture of Spain. Michel Legrand
takes you on a musical “magic
carpet” tour of this enchanting
country. This music has succeeded
in capturing the violent vitality and
powerful allure of Spanish music.
Throughout the recordings in this
album there flows a deep, surging
current of excitement. In “Mala-
guena” one hears the songs of the
wild Spanish gypsies; and in “El
Gato Montes” the blazing excite
ment of the bull ring comes thrill-
ingly alive.
Jo Stafford Sings Broadway’s
Best” includes twelve of Broad
way s finest songs. Included in
this album are such standards as
Come Rain or Come Shine,”
“Dancing in the Dark,” “Embrace-
able You,” and “Night and Day.”
Jo Stafford sings these songs with
exceptional communication. She
Around the Square.. With Kennedy
sings with a great amount of
warmth. Miss Stafford sings these
songs straight; she does not need
to employ any nonsense.
A new recording of a great das
sical selection, “Rachmaninoff
Piano Concerto No. 2,” by the
Philadelphia Orchestra under the
direction of Eugene Ormandy, will
thrill all hi-fi fans. This recording
presents an electrifying perform
ance of this classic in brilliant High
Fidelity.
The mood for the drama of the
Second Concerto is set by the dark,
rolling chords which begin the
Concerto. This master work
awakens the imagination and within
few bars of music, one can feel
the sea breeze, the spray from
mountainous waves, feel a depic
tion of night and moonlight. The
piano creates ever more figurations
above the restlessly surging or- I
chestra. The piano solos are breath
taking and brings an emotional
warmth to the performance. This
record has power and brilliance
and will overwhelm you every time
you hear it.
For the Christmas season, Percy
Faith and his orchestra have a new
album — “Music for Christmas”
which is one of the best recordings
that is out for the Christmas sea
son. This is a survey of some of
the finest melodies for Christmas.
It includes carols such as “Silent
Night,” “Joy to the World,” and
“O, Holy Night.” This is one of
the few programs of Christmas
music that does not offer the
words. Percy Faith and his or
chestra have succeeded in convey
ing the power of the songs and
have conjured up the time and at
mosphere that produced them.
Any hi-fi enthusiast would be
thrilled to find a record album in
his stocking on Christmas morning.

Do you want to deny your loved
ones the comfort and little lux
uries they deserve ? Let anyone
have a false impression of the in
telligent and really wonderful per
son you really are ? Take a back
seat anywhere at anytime? Take
life the hard way, when an easy
way is at hand ? Course not. I
didn’t either after I read Edwin L.
Dingle’s Treatise Number One on
the “Art of True Living”. The
little pamphlet, which mysteriously
appeared in South, includes an
order blank for a twenty-six week
course in Mentalphysics.
At present, Mr. Dingle is offer
ing to reveal—not the secrets—but
the way to find the secrets of the
ancient Tibetans for a mere $2.00.
But, he hastens to add, unless you
send an extra $3.00, there will be
no personal correspondence, grad
ing of test papers, or diploma. His
own history (which he generously
included on the back of the sample
booklet) proves just as fascinating
as the promised course.
He was born in England, and
orphaned at nine, traveled widely
in the East Indies studying philo
sophy and religion, walked clear
across China and Burma, lived in
Oriental temples (his temple life
is divulged only to his advanced
students), and restored his physical,
spiritual, and mental body from al
most utter extinction to perfection.
Imagine! I must hurry before
the post office closes, because he
tells me to “OBEY THAT IN
SPIRATION. Fill out the en
closed application form and start
FULL SPEED AHEAD toward
the splendid man or woman I CAN
BE and AM.”
Speaking of the mysteries—Have
you called 5-0S51 lately? No, I
don’t know who it is, but several
people have told me, disappointedly,
that it isn’t the KA house at Wake
Forest.

My temporary residence, the
Sights and Insights cubbyhole, is
slowly but surely'beginning to look
like a squirrel’s nest. Chewed
paper cups, fingernails, and pencils
are all over the place. Sissie, Toni,
and Mary Walton conducted an
hour-long discussion Tuesday night
on the Dangers and Joys of Tree
Climbing. Everyone sits around
cracking, picking, and nibbling the
pecans that the annual engraver,
Mr. Price Coursey, brought us. I’m
wondering how many of us will be,
after the copy is mailed Saturday
morning, “bright-eyed and bushy-
tailed”.

Here’s the line-up of couples that
will come through the big frosted
and fantastic wreath tomorrow
night; I. R. S. president Joyce
T-aylor and Dan Lafar, Kappa Sig
at Davidson; Pat Greene and Ben
Tench, Theta Chi at Wake Forest;
Linda Chappell and Sonny Kincey,
SAE at UNC; Carol Cooke and
Charles Wiley, Phi Gam at David
son; Juanita Efird and Wesley
Herndon of U. Ga. Med. School;
Martha Jarvis and Tommy Call-
cott. Pi Kap at Duke; Mary Belle
Horton and Johnny Clark, Kappa

vall and Arthu,r Venable, Kappa i

Connie McIntyre and Rod Beals
Lambda Chi at Wake Forest-
Mimi Joyner and Joe Burt, Sigma 1

Cline and Bill Redding, KA at
Davidson; Jane Noel and Terry
Mitchell, Mars Hill.
If you think being a member of
I. R. S. simplifies getting a date
for the dance, talk to Martha Du
vall. It seems that she entered a
phone booth on second floor of
Clewell, and six phone calls and
dollars later, emerged shouting,
‘victory at last with number six!”

Funny thing that the appearance
of a skinny green cedar tree can
so quickly change the “handing-out-
all-this-money-is-ru4ning-the-spirit”
feeling.

Personally, I’ll take the home-
spun philosophy of Tom Perry any
day. It’s hard to imagine Salem
without him and without the yel
lowed “Laffs” taped to the cash
register. Maybe the new vending
machines in the Student Center
were bad for his business. Handier,
perhaps, but a poor substitute.
