"Dr. Jive" To Spin Records
On Morehedd Bldg. Sfeps
By LARRY CHEEK
Rock and roll will launch a
full scale invasion of the Caro
lina campus Wednesday night
when "Dr. Jive" comes to town
for a two and one-half hour
record request and variety show
on the Morehead Building steps.
The show, sponsored and or
ganized by the Summer Activi
ties Council, will last from 8 to
10:30 p.m. Students are urged to
bring blankets and come early
for a choice spot on the lawn
facing the Morehead Building.
The evening's feature per
former will of course be "Dr.
Jive," a Negro rock and roll disc
jockey from station WSRC in
Durham. Dr. Jive, or Jimmy
Byrd as he is known to some,
will spin records by request dur
ing the show. In addition, he will
add variety to the proceedings by
interviewing various members of
the student body.
Dr. Jive will bring along two
other acts who will entertain the
crowd from time to time. They
are Buddy McKnightf a song
stylist and pianist, and Reggie
Dalton, a comedian.
Request boxes and slips have
been placed at strategic points
around campus, and anyone who
wishes to request a song may do
so by filling out one of these
6lips. The boxes will be collected
Tuesday and turned over to Dr.
Jive.
Although the emphasis will be
on rock and roll, a fair sampling
of pop and dreamy tunes will be
sprinkled throughout the pro
gram. So anyone who ' wishes
may request one of the less vio
lent type tunes.
An hour segment of the show
will be taped and played back
the following day on the "Dr.
Jive Show" on WSRC from 1 to
2 p.m. The broadcast segment
will be given the full treatment
taken the Salk polio vaccine, ac
cording to Katheleen Hearne at
the Chapel Hill Health Dept.

involved paralysis.

of press time) are only one shy
of the total in that county for the

and emcee in various big town
hot spots. He later moved on to
radio station WWRL in New
York to act as "flunky" and rec
ord puller for the original Dr.
