With the . exception of ' two ; short pieces byProkofieff, Miss 1 Drake's program was the class ical masters Mozart, Chopin, Brahams and Liszt. She began with two sonatas by the man generally considered to be the father of modern piano playing Domenico Scarlatti. They were the ones in B Minor and C Maj or, from an edition Alessandro Longo compiled of over 545 Scarlatti fugues, sonatas and ex ercises. Next came another 17th century composer, also named Domenico :Domenico Paradies. A "Gigue" of his. This was fol lowed by Mozart's brooding, grave Phantasie in C Minor, a work he composed while lab oring on The Marriage of Fig- aro. After intermission, .Miss -v Drake " played , the ,F .Sharp, J - Major Nocturne and- the Ma-, , zurka in B Flat Minor of Chopin. Brahms was next, his Intermezzo in B Flat Minor and Capriccio in B Minor. A march and prelude from a group of 12 short pieces lab eled Opus 12 by Prokofieff. and the : Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody No. 12, which she had played during an after noon recital several weeksago, completed the list. We liked best of all the Scar latti and Prokofieff numbers. Chopin was not given a very romantic interpretation and the Liszt rhapsody, with its tremen dous chords and octave pass ages, was not played with the excitement and spectacle people look for and expect. But it was a pleasant evening, all in all. and ' .

Jones, candi date for alderman, in the coming municipal elec tions and urge all students and faculty members sincerely interested in the future of Chapel Hill as a forward-looking community to join us. Mr. Jones, who is a graduate of Shaw Uni versity, a well-known pastor of three local churches and a resident of Chapel Hill for 14 years, would be a worthy member of the board of aldermen regardless of his race. We feel his electiqn is doubly important, however, because it would give . to the town for the first time a truly representative governing body. Not only does the Negro community have an active need for a representative ; on the board who will work for much-neeeded improvements in the colored sections, where facilities ' are woefully inadequate, but perhaps even more' important is the fact that Chapel Hill as a whole will be a better place to live in, we .believe, if it is gov erned by a group "which collectively has direct contact Vith all sections of the community. Mr. Jones, if elected, .will bring to the board of aldermen his, years of experience, with, and in timate knowledge of, almost half the town pop ulation, that' half whose needs and opinions have never before had a direct channel of expression to the city hall. With Mr. Jones among them the members of the board will be able to govern with a more complete awareness of the re quirements, and sentiments, of Chapel Hill as a whole. White residents have fully as much to gain by electing such a board, we believe, as Negro citizens. slogan? We think not. We further think that the . Grail Club, which was responsible for this out rage, has displayed thereby some of the most feeble judgement evidenced on this campus by any group in the past year. We don't really give a damn who was elected to its august mem bership; if we did, we could satisfy our curios ity by refering to the Tar Heel. We doubt whether any other student is vitally concerned with the novitiates either. But to be brief, we are being driven slowly insane by the shouts outside our window and will not be responsible for future actions. If these people persist, then we will personally be the leaders of the year's first "Southern lynch mob. O. B. Hardison. C. B. Baldwin. H. R. Honig , : - E. B. Van Voorhees W ! A C..',-.

Well, some rr it'Ivcnlurer, here's your -cj, V'i'ro waiting for oufcc:r.?. By Bob Sturdivant "Gum drops," giggled my roomie, as he slithered into the sanctum Tuesday. Upon inter rogation, he blabbered some thing about there being a new coke machine in the hall be low. Grabbing the first wrap handy, my scrumptuous Mon golian llama fur smoking jack et, I charged down to verify this outlandish remark, think ing all the while that roomie was having another touch of jungle fever. But sure enough, there she was, all shiny and new. Most of the residents had gathered when I arrived and all were speaking in hushed tones, be fitting the occasion. A few of the more brash element were even touching the phenomen on; while their fellow travel ers looked on with admira tion. Even Bronco had come in for the event and everyone agreed that some sort of milestone had been reached. One note of theo retical speculation was injected when a middle-classer posed the question: "What would have happened to party platforms had " " .rac : ' . . -"iff t this great .day preceded elec tions?" There was no answer."" After all, what can one say to a tat like that. Word from Dave Sharpe has it that a concerted drive will soon be launched to en roll new members in the CN CMCESFTPGRBUNCADEC. Further information may be obtained from the above men tioned. " ' If something . isn't done and soon about that mocking bird outside my window, I fear for my roomies' sanity. He has al ways possessed an aversion to the things and now this one insists on hanging around and making noise alia time. This," however, is not the worst of it, for only yesterday roomie came running in mut tering something about the bird chasing him and trying to do physical violence. Personally, I think that is taking things too far. I give fair warning, until something is done to correct this affair, I wiE continue to lash out against this evil in the name of roomie. If the people of Chapel Hill elect Mr. Jones we will follow the precedent set, in Winston Salem and Richmond, Va., where Negro council men have served successfully for the past two years. And they 'have served, not as representa- atives of a. pressure group with special interests btif. as '.public spirited individuals representing ,,a responsible .citizenry. Mr. Jones, who was nominated by an overwhelming ' majority in a P; community-wide meeting held last week, has a the confidence of the more than 300 people who ';,lasked' him to. run in this election "that he wilP represent them honestly and wisely if elected. We are confident that as the democratically chosen candidate of his community he will serve the entire town as well, as a responsible city official. Those who wish to help in Mr. Jones' cam paign are urged to contact Robert Boyd at the Negro community center. Martha Allen, Kent Erickson, Frances Koral. Emma McNary, D. Hilton Seals, Bill Evans Rachelle Marshall Shades of Fulton Lewis Editor: The December "Alumni Review" was receiv ed this morning and both Mrs. Richards (Anne Lewis, '43) and I had read it by dinner this evening. To say that we were startled to read of charges made by a Fulton Lewis, Jr. against President Frank Graham would be a master piece of understatement. We were absolutely dumbfounded! Although at this late date the subject is probably a dead, one, I would like to remind two people, especially, of one little point. Those two people re, as "Spike Saunders described them to Alumni, two members (of the student body) who have publicly admitted membership .(in the Communist Party). Those two, if still at the . University, should have gathered the other ten or 14 "party" members and loudly defended the man who has done more than any other single person to allow them freedom of thought,' speech, and action at a Stafe University. . . . even though that; thought, speech, and action be (possibly . an doj? 'probably) directed by a foreign government!) '' ,' IBill Harris How High the Moon TVio Mnnn 4c T nnr These two show the fine work of the greatest trombone man alive today on something which is not bop. Both are in a medium tempo, with "Low" assuming a Latin American air for most of its length. "High" is played in two-four with the medium tempo. Harris is on the home range with these two and works them over with a will. You will never hear a trombone to compare with him. How that man can play! Charlie Ventura , f Body and Soul 1 . ' Whaila You Say We Go "Body" starts out as if it might develop into something well put together and finely executed. Charlie starts out with a terrific tenor solo that does justice to his great capabilities, but the end turns out be bop and ruins things with loss of tempo and tune. The reverse is more bop with lack of everything pertaining to "music." Dave Barbour ; Ensenada' Little Boy Bop go Blow Your Top "Ensenada" starts a rumba, turns into a fox trat, goes into bop, and finally ends up a rumba. This is unusual and ter ribly fine, you know. It is in a minor key with the changes of tempo almost imperceptable. However, the "Boy Bop" is a flop bop. Slaughter on Tenth Avenue Lennie Hayton and M.G.M. Orch. Kostelantez Diana Lynn So we have three selections of this in town. Take your choice of which one you like best. For my money, as you can see by the ratings, I'll take the one by Hayton. It is fuller than the other two and has more punch when it is needed. Vaughn Monroe Riders in the Sky Single Saddle "Riders" is another of the minor key tunes with a lyric that tells of a Cowboy's Hell. This is different for the "Muscle Throat" and plenty good. Watch this thing catch fire in popularity. The over is lousy. Pete Daily's Chicagoans When the War Breaks Out in Mexico Circus Slide Now watch "War" climb in popularity and make a liar out of me. It stinks, but the d--- thing will catch on as a comic tune and really be a craze (though you will have io be crazy to like it). It was written back in the Spanish American .War and you know about what-most of that music was like. Somewhere in the record there is a hint of Dixieland though not for long or for much. "Slide" takes you back to the circus with typical music. Criticizing the Grail EDITOR: We are not in the habit of writing letters whenever we are disturbed by campus events. We lead peaceful lives. We don't bother any body. Nobody bo; hers us. Or that is, nobody had seriously interfered with our placid status quo iip' until toniht. Then, from nowhere, like a bolt cut of the blue appa? red a horde of asses who sec-ir.lnly had nothing better to do than shout their self-estimates at the top of their lungs to the whole campus. Doesn't anybody but ourselves find study necessary? Are we the only students who find it impossible to fight against the hypnosis of a repeatedly shouted Dr. Frank Graham means "Carolina" to many past and present University students. To many more of us he means much more. I do not look upon Dr. Frank Graham as a deity; but as an excellent example of unselfish service given not only to one's own State but, more than that, to one's country. I am sitting in my home at the present time with a .45 calibre automatic within easy? reach ing distance. Anne is a licensed "gun-carrier" and has her own. I believe that we have a de cently factual understanding of Communism, and I "also believe that it would be a strong eye-opener were the two "Members" of the "Party" to visit Malaya for a short two or three weeks. In fact, I would sincerely enjoy a -serious correspondence with a Stateside Communist. I might be able to more clearly explain why they should appreciate a man of Dr. Graham's stature. I rather believe that most of us do not possess a strong, dignified sense of justice and tolerance. .... which Dr. Frank Graham has; which is possibly one of the maay' ror that few of us shall ever be one of the greatest College or University Presidents in the country which Dr. Frank Graham is.
