Kenton has worked long and hard for public acceptance" of his "progressive jazz." As a tri bute to him, Look Magazine in December, 1915, predicted the Kenton organization to be the Band of the Year in 1946. The predfction came true. , Kenton launched his "Presen tations in Progressive Jazz" at Balboa in 1947. During this year Stan decided to quit the ball room for the concert stage. Since the tour only lasted three mon ths, which forced his musicians out of work the remainder of the year, Kenton decided to disband on Dec. 17, 1948. After an extended vacation to South America he returned with plans for a 40-piece concert or- j chestra, utilizing - a 16-piece string section, woodwinds and French horns. It was called "In novations in Modern Music." The tour began in February of 1950, played in 77 cities across the nation and came to a close at the Hollywood Bowl before 16,000 people. It was after this that Kenton re-formed his 20-piece dance band, keeping in the dance as well as the concert field. His second tour with "Innovations" ended this year.

Scales, 35, identified at his triaT last April 22 as head of the Com munist party, in Tennessee and the Carolinas, appealed his conviction to the appellate court which heard arguments last Oct. 4. Today, in an opinion written by Chief Judge John J. Parker and concurred in by Associate Judges Morris' Soper and : Armistead M. Dobie, the court held "the evidence in the record amply sustained the, charge in the indictment,", that Scales . violated the Smith Act by .advocating violent overthrow of the government. "It was admitted that defendant Scales was a member of the party during the period covered by the indictment and was chairman of the North and South Carolina dis trict, of the party; and there was ample . evidence that he knew of its' purpose to overthrow the gov ernment by force and violance, that he approved of that purpose and that he had so expressed himself to witnesses who testified on the trials' the appeals court held. SIX1YEARS Scales was sentenced to six years' . imprisonment by Federal Judge Albert V. Bryan after a nine-day ' trial in Greensboro.

Opponents of the bill are expect ed to argue that a neutral Ger many is just what Russia wants', as the main threat, to her aggression in Europe will have then been re moved. The meeting will be open to all interested persons. Phi To Argue Power Of UNC's Athletics The Philanthropic Literary So ciety will debate de-emphasization of intercollegiate athletics at UNC. The subject is slated for debate at 8 p.m, in Phi Hall, fourth floor New East. The bill states in part that Pres ident Gordon Gray recently ex pressed concern over the question of, the influence of intercollegiate athletics here because they have become in some respects more im portant than the primary purpose of the University academic achievement, Since the foremost universities of the country, says the bill, have returned athletics to their "prop er position," UNC should also place athletics-on a plane of more student participation and concen trate less on pleasing the public. Speaker John Curtis said yester day tjie bill is intended to promote a lively discussion of the relative merits of semi - professional col lege -athletics and student partici pation in athletics. Proponents of the bill are ex pected to point out the fact that the primary purpose of any institu tion of higher learning is aca demic study, and that high-press ure athletics tend to subserviate TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1955 V .

They are also expected to state that even though UNC is one of the most highly regarded univers ities in the country, there is .still room for improvement, which can come only from an increased re gard for scholastics, rather than a high athletic rating, which in fact tends to decrease a University's standing. Opponents of the bill are expect ed to argue that intercolleigate athletics are an integral part of school life, and to do away with them -as they now stand would be detrimental to the highest princi ples of any college. They are also expected to point out that one way a school may obtain distinction is through a good program of inter collegiate athletics, and that such athletics have become a foundation of the respect in which a univers ity is held. - Speaker Curtis said he would introduce a resolution to the ef fect that both the Di Senate and The Daily Tar Heel should be re procKed for petty bickerings in volving personalities which should be if no consequence t: the poli cies, prestiege or welfare of the student body.

In the event this recommenda tion was not acceptable, the com mittee proposed an alternative which would have the administra tion of the University "take im mediate steps to locate and se cure an off-campus storage park ing lot." As mentioned above, Fowler fa- 1 vors this alternative plan and sug- gested, as a possible location for the lot, an area which is fairly level behind Navy Field.
