PlayiTijcike SAYS CONDUCTOR JOHNSON: Try By ED MYERS "If you can be anything else, be it, but if you find yourself trapped, then go "ahead and en joy the music profession." This is the advice that Thor Johnson, conductor of the Cin cinnati Symphony Orchestra and Carolina graduate, gives to all aspiring musicians. Before assuming the Memor ial Hall podium Tuesday night, which stood near the spot where Dave Brubeclc "started" and "stopped" his quartet no more than a week before, Johnson talked excitedly about the class of '34 and how things have changed. "When I was in school here Kraar, Yoder Remain (Candidates Yoder and Kraar answer Mundy's vnthdrawal; see story this column.) ' .

I directed the music for the Play makers all four years I was here; then too, the North Car olina Symphony was just form ing and there were the small ensembles and dance bands," said Johnson. "One group I remember par ticularly well was the Carolina Salon Ensemble." He paused, and said in a serious tone, "be sure to spell that with one "o!" We gave exactly 100 concerts.

Muntzing said in his statement that the problem of cars here has been mentioned in the report of the' Visiting Committee of "the Board of Trustees. ,Tn 1948 Sat urday classes and the semester system were also mentioned to the., trustees, and five years -later the semester sjystem replaced the quarter system," said Muntzing. He added "Representatives of the faculty, meeting in Raleigh last week, adopted a measure against the possession of cars by students at the University." "Students and the student gov ernment" must act upon the prob lem of cars here, according to Muhtzing's statement, "if cars are not to take the route that the After Investigation Talk: Legislature To Settle Down A Little Tonight Now that the University Party and the Student Party have picked their respective candidates for most of the major student govern ment offices, the student Legisla ture can again settle down to busi ness. The body meets tonight at 7:30. Although the last few sessions have seen few bills passed that were of major importance to the student body as a whole, it can- chestra to ever perform in Me morial Hall.) When asked about progres sive jazz and Dave Brubeck, Johnson answered, "I haven't been able to follow Brubeck but I did follow Kenton for a while. The fascinating thing about pro gressive jazz is that the finest elements of this form are also the most important compon ants of American . contemporary music. "The rhythmic patterns and voicing of various instruments are also found in the works of our American composers, main ly because all of them have had experience in arranging for dance bands or playing in them."

" ."As immediate solutions to tftis problem," said the presidential candidate, "I should like to see; first, a redistricting 6f the present parking facilities in order that those restricted areas not present ly used during the daytime may be put to their fullest advantage. This would mean dividing those parking areas which hae con stantly been unused into faculty and student sections. - Tn the second place," said Muntzing's stateament, "I should like to se a student traffic court established which would handle student violations of parking on campus and unregistered cars with all fines being reverted to stu dent government. This money would be used to continue the de frayment of the cost of campus palicement and secondly, to be used to the best interest of the student body, preferably in a fund for the future .building of a new student union," added Muntzing. not be said that the meetings were dull. For while the legislators didn't have bills to haggle over, they took to "investigating" and even, in the case of- Lewis Brum field and Frank Warren,- having personal feuds among themselves. The investigation, came as a re sult of an accusation that The Daily Tar Heel was lacking in "quality." One legislator even went to the extreme and called The Daily Tar Heel the "second Daily Worker." (The legislator later said the newspaper was not Commu nist.) Now that the group has a busy agenda coming up, they won't have time for alll these incidents. The bills to be voted on tonight are SP-introduced measures to give the Legislature another rep resentative on the Graham Me morial Board of Directors and, to give the nurse's dormitory a rep resentative on the Women's Honor Council; ' UP-introduced measures are: One to give the attorney general of the student government more power; one to appropriate funds to the All Campus Conference and, one to give the Dance Com mittee funds to publish a booklet about Carolina traditions to send to surrounding women's colleges so they will be more familiar with Carolina.
