"Sully" and Kay were Uni versity students together almost a decade ago, and in 1928 they decided to organize a dance band. Six men composed the musical outfit. ; Now there are 13 instrumentalists and two fea ture vocalists. "Sully" is a triple threat musician. He sings, plays and composes. Among the songs written. by him are: "It's No Fun," "Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gives to Me," and Don't Wanta Get Well.!! - - - - Gordon's enlightening method of first explaining the orches tration and the music before: a number is played was consid ered by Mason as an ideal way of "putting, music across." In stead of looking upon a selection as merely something to dance by, one learns to obtain a great er enjoyment of music by know ing more about the orchestra and the song itself, he declared. The Sunday night classical music concerts at Kenan" sta dium shared Mason's words of praise, students should learn to enjoy the works ,of the masters of classical music as well as the modern swing tunes,' said the baritone and saxophonist. "Just as the classics need explaining, the jazz of today should be ex plained by an authority such as Gordon," said Mason in revert-: ing to a discussion of his first love. , . Kyser's orchestra is especially popular with University stu dents. Among the first record ings by the band were "Hark the Sound" and "Collegiate Fanny. "Sully" was the feature vocalist in the latter number. Mason, who will remain here until Friday; was introduced at last nisrht's "Music. Under the Chandeliers" concert. He is vis iting his mother.

Yet what are you going to do : sit back and feed the people nothing but what they want (and pay for), even hrvj Tifri tion of the tabloids, or the pornography of the old Buc- U pnOlCl P ratemitieS caneer? Every respectable newspaper in America is . to some degree coloring the news it prints to suit the1 tastes of its readers, and in times of war or any sort of great stress your press, becomes, before and after government regulation, a huge one-sided lying machine. The public likes it, pays for it. Do you think for a minute that an editor who would have expressed the sane attitude toward the "German war guilt' the same sane attitude we respect today, would have survived in Britain or America in 1918-19? ' , ; .v" But th game of feeding the people what they want can't go on forever, even if we would let the "anti-social" process be, so to speak. Sooner or later you are going, to see right here in America either (1) the slow accumula tion of popular indignation, as education s increases, at such exploitation of the "baser passions," or else (2) gov ernmental heroes, like -Mr Roosevelt for example, under the security of personal popularity; taking steps, probably good steps atthe moment, to 'regulate the press. This last will be grim business: everybody ;has agreed long ago. Old Jefferson took his stand:for a,free press; over a free government any day. , . , , .. .. . i Th6 first prospect is the hope of the race, it. seems, and the immediate tendencies, both here and in "Great Britain, are encouraging. The Lord Northcliffe, Lord Rothemefe, .'and William R.

V. '.-. : , , - Provided the attitude of the influential public keeps hot behind this general movement, the ethics of the journalis tic game might be raised before the moment of govern mentar intervention and regulation overtakes usr Back to the ; Arnold Williams incident, for a moment more. Youll remember that we've harped ; often ; about the freedom of this place. The dig at Williams in re f erring to his' economic convictions probably put the paper C in the same" class, for a second or so in the minds of some, with' the very Davy Clark whose intolerance we haver so often" waved before you. If there's a loophole this ia:it: Arnold Williams, as far as the Tar Heel is concerned. could have had any ideas about economics he so pleased, The fact that he was known primarily for those , ideas, even' though he was an English teacher, was of interest to the readers just as was Napoleon's war-making. Where ha tianw micht? have shown its positive capacity for leadership, beyond the negative position which it did take would have been for it to explain to a constituency (less interested in this than in the "dig" at Williams) that the man had done a great deal more than hold a few unortho dox convictions, that in his job as a stimulating, teaching 'personality he probably filled the bill a far sight more adequately than other completely N docile instructors who have come and gone in the same department. - , Whether a college press, protected as it is by enforced fees, can disregard the "popularity" shackles which shape 1 the policies-of regular newspapers depends altogether on - that college press's ability to teach tne stuaent oouy wiin i out their catching on.

Abilities "It is known now, for exam ple," Dean Bradshaw said, "that in any group of school children who are 12 years old, there will be some children mentally only five years, and some, 19 years old in the development of their intellectual capacity. It has been found that not only are these individuals different, but their various abilities are apparently independent of each other." ' The speaker also pointed out that it was this growing knowl edge of . absolute individual dif ferences which has 'given rise to the testing movement and other efforts to diagnose student abil ity. .University officials present for the first meeting included Roy Armstrong, of the pre-col- ege guidance staff; E.

The next meeting will be led by Dr. Perry, discussing the place of a guidance clinic in a personnel program. .The group is using, as a basis for their dis cussions, a book on student per sonnel work, recently published by the University of Minnesota. Members of the group will take turns in discussing, the phase of student personnel work which they represent. " j DOUBLE HEADER Recently one of our freshmen asked an upper classman if he could join a social fraternity and pledge Phi Beta Kappa too . . . But Parker Web ster, tackle on the Syracuse football team, hasr got it all over our little freshman. Parker was being rushed by the Alpha Sigma Phis and the Sigma Phi Epsilons. He liked thenx both and decided to compromise. He told the Alpha Sififs he would join them, and was prompt ly initiated by them; then he went to the S. P. E.'s, told them he was ready to join them, and got initiated , again. When the interfraternity council found out about it they expelled him from both frats, and put both Greek lodges on proba tion. SERVICE PREREQUISITE Traveling in Germany this summer was John E. Crapps, instructor in the German department here, getting a better knowledge of the language and preparing a bibliography for his doctor's thesis. One day Herr John decided to go. down to one , of Germany's famous Beer Gardens for a glass or two. Down he sat at one of the tables and wait ed for one of the numerous waitresses to wait on Him. After waiting about ten minutes he looked around and spied .two of the female attendants looking at him. He beckoned to them in a sur prised manner, got nothing but dumb looks. - Af ter sitting a while longer he decided to march out, just then a man came in, sat, down at a table, quietly raised his right hand and uttered' a "Heil Hitler." Turning to the waitresses then, Herr John threw up his right hand violently, and boom ed a "Heil Hitler" too. Then he got served. NOR IRON BARS It's never too late to learn, because several of the prisoners at Alcatraz Prison, home of Al Ca pone and other of the toughest federal prisoners are taking correspondence courses from the uni versity of California. A SIGNAL MISTAKE Morpheus was foiled at the University of Cali fornia when a strident alarm clock put an end to all student slumbering about 9 p. m. one night. Many drooping heads in the. library jerked up as the familiar alarm bell created an early morn ing atmosphere, and the hands which reached out to turn it off, were sheepishly withdrawn wfien the sleepers realized they were not at home in bed. After the ringing ceased and the confusion sub sided, a blushing girl again secreted the offend ing clock in a paper sack, deciding to deposit all future purchases at home before coming to the library.

DESIGN FOR LIVING The Daily Texan suggests the following: Freshmen (it's always in good taste to give ad vice to freshmen) don't be surprised when you talk to the dean. Say, "I just can't seem to make any better grades, because I am working my way through college," if he says pertly, "It would cer tainly be nice if college would work its way through some of the students."
