Turntable Topics by Mickey4iouse Boy-oh-boy have I caught un-' adulterated you-know-what for my comments on the West House boys in my column last Sun day. Honestly, I have never been so completely shocked. The main reaction, it seems, is that the boys thought I was being , sarcastic. I can say with all sincerity that sarcasm was the last thought in my mind. I do not know any of the boys, but I do know that I get a big kick from their music and various activities. , After reading my article again, I suppose it could be taken out and out sarcasm. No kidding, I hate to sound mushy but I hope you will forgive the implications that weren't supposed to be read in. This is my ' first . quarter at Carolina and I. have been terribly impressed by every-thing-especially the music I have only to open a window to hear. I-love it! As "Tenderly" is one of my favorite tunes, I wak particularly impressed by the rendition eiveri by the truly talented trumpeter. , Xiu regard to the; "two aspir ing young rivals of the Eddie Arnold set, I certainly meant no pun.; I adore all kinds of music iand hill; billy is no ex"- -ception.il did riot mean to offend these, two gentlemen by such a remark; I -fully realize that their: voices are uncommonly good. Elaine Gibson, a young lady - who lives : next door, has sub mitted the following letter to the TAR HEEL. Evidently she ; is much more qualified in judg ing their talent- I Ww to; her superior ' talents. Excuse me, I guess t am 'being sarcastic here.

Y. on at West House" and it just happens that my window is closer to West House than that of the author of Sunday's column entitled 'Turntable Topics.'. And if we must limit our com ments to this phase of West House's activities, just for the musical record," by far the. most outstanding talent West House" boasts" is. its complete reper toire! At the hour of six (p. m., of course) besides hearing he young man with the horn, it is entirely possible, if one is lucky, to hear a complete, ensemble composed of some of Carolina's most talented and popular musicians. The two "Eddie Ar nold aspirants", who sing in a style Miss Rouse had rather not compare to anyone, just happen to possess two of the richest voices on campus one of which has received notable acclaim in previous years both in Glee Club work and with Hank Beebe's Bell Tones. Those who are not so fortunate as to live in Smith, however, may hear this paragon of resonance and tone on any juke box from here to New York for the price of no enickel. "Before 1 leave the enchanting music of the West House boys, , I must tell' you that a piano player occasionally gives out . with ' his notable talent" and to this year's freshmen and pos sible transfer students who do not move in the inner musical circles, I want to verify Miss Rouse's phraseology. This "piano player" aside from"giving out . with his notable talent" in polished renditions of Gersh win and Gilbert & Sullivan, not to mention the bamut of classi cal and semi-classical, also "gives out" with original compositions on the side, the professional ; J quality of which leaves no one , who heard his clever scores for either of the Playmaker musi- ' cals, Sweep It Clean (48), Apple Tree Farm '49) or Capers of 1951 with room for doubt. It seems that poor Miss Rouse has evidently heard only the dull scraps of clever practice 5 and fascinating improvisation of these artists that chance to drift Smith ward. Is it possible that she does not appreciate the behind - the-scene drudgery which always precedes master piece? Or does Miss Rouse sit down and dash off her own masterpieces with no need. of the; before hand drudgery , of inves- icrt;-tn pcd clarification. ' . r in Two lour Demonstra We who have enjoyed "read ing the Daily Tar, Heed's column entitled "Characters I've Met," are' very much disturbed by one serious omission. The ' most characteristic character has characteristically been neglected. Thornton MacKendree Long, the column's originator, is the gentleman of whom we speak; a true character in his own right. "T Mac", as he is called by his innumerable friends and ac quaintences, is a campus "como- dian" of the first water. If you have gone "Pogo," "T Mac." "is chiefly responsible, for he has pushed the "Peoples Possum for President" with the vigor that is typical of all that he does. He's not one of -the- campus "Big Wheels" that you hear so much about; he's bigger! This is because he has a fantastic ability to make something out of nothing, the likes of which we've never seen. For instance, he and another character of "his, who both smoke pipes, got together one dayx and formed the Carolina Pipe Smoker's Club, commonly know as Die What-cha-ma-callit. He pushed and pushed in his own quiet way until now Die Something-or-"ither is an efficiently function ing part of the Carolina way of life. -V- v ' I'm sure that many of his friends would be insulted if his name was not linked here in with the Order of the Golden . Bear, (a campus inter-organizational organization). He has worked tirelessly in such fields as extension, so that the Order now has original rites to chap ters on all Lunar and Martin campuses, not to mention' the ! campuses of the XL Va., Cornell, Iowa State, and South Carolina. Alpha Phi Omega is another one of "T. Mac's" pets. He's not only very active locally, but is a national officer, and has travelled all over North and South -Carolina installing chap ters f this service group. " Summing tip Thornton's acti vities isn't an easy job. He's a i member of PirCA social frater nity; He's receiving a Naval sup ply corps commission n June . 2nd, having weathered two quarters of Lt. Woodall's "Hand saws and Clawhammers"; He's a Supreme , Chancellor of the Chancellor's : M i d - Afternoon " Toddy Club; And he has lent his moral and physical support to Five stud noker and" meals for just abouf every worthwhile ?; organization and activity on the Carolina campus. ' If by some remote " quirk of fate you have not already rrie this character of characters? Just hunt the nearest party.-Odds are 15' to 4 that-you'll see a cloud of smoke, which is -attached' to a pipe, which is attached to an impish sort of grin, which is at tached to a rotund ball of fun, which is T. Mac Long, our nominee for All-Campus, All- Conference; All-Americari," char acter of ' the 5 year.' -At Einstein md H. CohenU J'1'1' t ' by Daily Tar Heel Staff Writers - They did it again. - ' ; vn;; t A militant -.mob of over two thousand, Carolina males stormed Mclyer and Smith, dormitories between midnight and 2 a.m.; this morning for the second time: in a week. Police smoke bombs failed to restrain, the crowd, alternately shouting "We want panties" and "We want Pogo." They were 'unsuccessful, however, in their attempts to invade the coed sleeping quarters. At least one student was arrested and another injured vin the violence which started shortly before midnight when a core of half a dozen students gathered near Evereite dorm shouted, "Let's raid the coeds again - v Administration personnel, bolstered by a police force of twenty including state troopers and night watchmen, staged -a futile attempt to disperse the milling "throng of aroused skivvy snatchers. Chancellor Robert House mounted a stone pedestal outside Mclver and pleaded "In the name of God and yourselves stop this foolishness and go home." One student, wearing a black mask, escaped from a squad car after being seized by police officers while other raiders deflated tires on a station wagon belonging to Durham news paper photographer Roland Giduz in protest of incriminating flash shots. Carolina athlete Tom Cahill emerged as the hero of the evening by declaring to the mob "I know I may be making a jackass of myself, but either we raid the dorms or we go home. Therels no sense in mulling around." Of all the stu dent government, leaders on the steps of Mclver, Cahill was the only one who spoke urging the crowd to go home. The disturbance came to a quiet close at 2:30 a.m. when small organized groups bf students circulated through the rioters shouting "Let's go home." Frank Daniels, chairman of the Men's Honor Council, "If necessary we will investigate into the summer. However, we are not a police force." - Jgi a final statement. Chancellor House said "I want them all kicked off the campus." c A IF THE chief reward of living in a college community ; is that one is constantly: surrounded by youth, the compensating penalty is that one Is constantly losing one's gpbel friends..
