Amony the sing ers to reach the heights of popu larity have been Frank Sin.itra. Ella Fitwald. Johnny Ma'his. antl Anita 0"Day. Not all have been food, however; there are a g:-eit many mediocre stivers around, and a gret many of them have tiilil ms released. It set 11s worth while to examine a few of the latest vocal recordings with tie hopes of discovering the relative merits of these singers. The I tCest rtlcse tit the over popular Nit '"Kin'." C le on Cim tol records "Just Our of T' ose Tilings' is perhaps one of the best things this drr- bio favorite has ever done. It's theme is songs of broken love with a swinging he-it. and the nw'or tl'ts well with all. Most enjuy.hle for this reviewer are "When Your Lo er Has done" and "A Cottage For Sale." two bouncing renditions til long-time favorites. The buking is by a swinging Billy May band, ami it is continually amazing how 1'iese two men work together. Kll-i does 1101 tare ru well w ih her latest, a Verve release called "Like Soaieone In Love." The bat-kin" is by a modem sized string group plus the always tasty tenor of Stan Getz, and it only proves the point that KUa sounds better with a trio than a large orchestra. The pre-release ads elai n that "anyone who is in love, is about to fall in love, or has ever been in love" is going to love this record, a statement which I found entirely false. There are at least seventeen tunes on the tlisk. ;dl of them good ones, but some how the seemingly unbeatable combination of KUa. Clot., and fond music just doesn't come off. Let's hope Mr. Gran, can tin bet ter by Ella next time. The Voice Mr. Sinatra of course is at his lyrical best on a collection of lonely-lover ballads' -Mei1 "Where Are You?" Instead ot the usual Nelson Kiddle back ing we're piven Gordon Jenkins '"d although at times he gets a htr!e over-striney. the combina- ,i"n is 11 P I one. "I Think of Ymi." 1 beautv of a tune-no won '' it was, stolen from Haehntan inoffs First IMano Concerto-in the real ,s of the album, but Ft ankie does well with such stand- 1s' :-s - There's No You" and T Cover the Waterfront." Perhaps the most over-looked record of the year is a Columbia rl-.nki by Tony Hennet titled sim ply "Tony." Mr. Bennett has nev er been known as either a jaz?-. sitiL'cr or a particularly good sing er; this time, however, he fills ull the requirements and fills them i daiirably. The big surprise of the disk is an almost forgotten Kurt Weill tune called "Lost In the Siars." Bennett does it with the simple backing of a guitar and the Percy Faith chorus, and suc ceeds in producing a truly deep emotional experience. If you don't like the sound of a slightly strain ed voice I wouldn't recommend this record, but if you like your music emotional and exciting, is it this L'lL ABNER WO 'How Did Yoti Sav Their Election Came Out?" VIEW FROM THE HILL: America: Pacifist Nation Where Education Is The Latest Extreme By Cl'KTIS CANS cry has There is also another danger in herent in the initial American ef fort to overhaul its etducational set-up. The U. S. is looking to Russia as one model for its educa t in system, and lias been talking in terms of apt it title tests for high school freshmen and channelling those with scientific fields. danger here is that selecting field of interest for anybod.v ant i-dcmoera'ie. The the is " "trains the chance that the people of America will do a complete Americans have been in the . . , . . , . , , about face, and look with ctindes habit of going to extremes. In this , ... , tension on the liberal arts man lies a great danger. or the business man. Americans have twon fieceT5'c",' pacifist prior to wars, and have led the country almost to lose its honor among nations. Then, Amer icans have turned rabidly pro-war and proceeded to put out several effective fighting forces. After the war. Americans have been again violently pacifist, and the "brinr the boys ""home." wrought no little havoc with, na tional security. Americans again have a chance to go from one extreme to another, and the latest policy pronounce ments from Washington indicate that 'his is just what the nation will do. The extreme lies in the field of education. For years now the scientist in America has been pictured as a freak of nature. He has been look ed at in terms of ivory towers, white coat, and vertical in'el lectual development. He has been sort of a god far off and austere. There have not been many who have tried to emulate this ideal. With the successful firing of Sputnik and Muttnik, American leaders have realized the neetl for developing the scientific manpow er resources of the nation in order that the U. S. may defeat the Rus sian challenge. The neetl is there, and the neetl must be met. However, there re- get to the Pri nt the The danger then is two-fold. mary is the danger of runnim counter to the basic precepts democracy, and secondarv is clanger of breeding a vertical de velopment in the realm of science and leaving the country barren of liber;: 1 arts antl men who are going to guide, finance, and lead the national scientific endeavor. The case of Robert Oppenhei met is an illustration of the type of vertical development involved. For what led to Dr. Oppenheimer's downfall in the world of science is his basic lack of knowledge of the realities of politics and strategic necessities of the U Another illustration is the aver age American who looks with wonder at the atomic bomb and the guided missile and proceeds in his ignorance of matters scienti fic. To project this into the future. be in the S. if the American people become so science conscious that they lose sight of liberal arts, the U. S. will have irresponsible governmental officials, incapable teachers, and people who are unable to alon with one another. Science is but one avenue truth. There are others in field of social science, .mathemat ics, language, and many others. To be a citizen the scientist cannot forget the importance of these areas of thought, and must versed in these other areas order to avoid the vertical deve lopment that is inconsistent with responsible citizenship. At the same time the liberal arts man must have an awareness of what the scientist is doing in order that he can put scientific needs in the proper scope and proportion with the rest of society's had mankind's needs. The U. S. must build up its scientific resources, not at the expense of other fields, but with the assistance of the others. It must be both a horizontal and in men ue eiopmeni. It is portant that the scientist not only science but the fields, and the liberal arts man not only liberal arts, but also science. Then and only then will a truly responsible community be developed. There is a maxim in education that one should learn a 1 ;le about everything, and a lot about something.

Many sat in harmonious groups afterward, picked their teeth and spouted platitudinous cliches of the wonders of America: Life, liberty and the persuit of the dollar ... op portunity for all, two cars in every garage and "where, oh where, but in America?" There were even kindly thoughts that Santa Claus was jus.t around the corner and that the great American tra dition will triumph over all. While we were stuffing, however, two thirds of the world spent another day of undernourishment. At the day's end, there ere 125,000 new mouths t :, feed in the world. By the year 2025, there will be a total of 13 billion mouths to feed. And in Russia, where they do not celebrate such a day, I suppose that there were several hundred men concentrating on intricate plans for bigger and better ICBM's. In America, everybody was burping and passing gas. Our leaders in Washington, however, keep tell ing us that all will be well. They have known all along that the Russians were producing missiles and that, though we are slightly behind, the great American system would soon move itself and surge once again to the head of the track. In fact, thc-y tell us that there were reports of the Ritssian'3 surprising advancements as early as 1953, and that, in 1955. they even tracked great numbers of them on our long-range radar installations on the border of Turkey. They knew this, they say, but decided that there was no need to tell the people. Of course not, let them wallow in their sweet little pools of plenty. Lot them be entertained, hut not informed. And, if we should have to inform them, let's hope they don't ask "why?" We are, on the other hand, educating more people than any other country in history, are we not? But, comes the reply, look at these disturbing facts: only 49 of the high schools in the U.S. teach any Physics: of our graduating high school students, on-ly 5 have had Physics, 7 have had Chemistry, 13 have had Geometry, and 16 have had Algebra; of the 1,500.000 graduating high school students in Russia, EVERY SINGLE ONE has had 5 years of Physics, 5 years of Chemistry. 5 years of higher math. 5 years of English. 10 years of Russian, and 10 years of History. A blind man can see that we are behind in the Sciences. Our professional educators point out, quici.V. that we have placed more emphasis in this cosctry on the Humanities. This is reassuring to me, especi ally since I have decided to major in humanities But. again, I look around at my fellow classmates and find this hard to believe. We are not even lean ing the humanities well. There are exceptions, granted, but what of the average, mass-produced student? What are his interests? What does the "Great American Experiment" mean to him? Ap parently, not very much. The creative and imaginative students are few and far between. This inner-directed handful in our youth is seemingly ostricized from the onset. It appears to be disrespectful to have a penetrating, questioning mind. The worst sin of all is asking a troublesome question which requires considerable thought. Don't try to encompass too much, we are told; find your proper field and plunge into it. So we have developed what Ortega Y. Gasset called "barbarians of specialization." Men of action, they call for, not those of thought or feeling. We have developed a country which is overly concerned with pragma and rarely with theoria. It reminds me somewhat of Saint-Exuperev Little Prince who, when he visited the fourth planet, came upon a businessman who was busv counting the stars which he claimed belonged to him: "And what do you do with them?" (said the little prince). "I administer them." replied the businessman. I count them and recount them. It is difficult. But I am a man who is naturally interested in mat ters of consequence." The little prince, however, argued for his own interpretation of matters of consequence: "I myself own a flower which I water every day I own three volcanoes which I clean out every week (for also c,ean Qut . .s - one never knows). It is of some use to mv volcanoes. thl n1S, Sme USe t0 my flower- hat I own them.
