Ast. Spoits- Editor DAVE WIBLE UuMness Mana-er JOHN WHITAKER AdvrrtiiniJ Manager l.ihrarian EI' ED KATZ1N Top Drummers Lack Public Acclamation It seems that everybody likes a drum solo. There isn't anything quhe as exciting as a xvell execut ed, dynamic, drum solo, but there aren't many drummers who are capable of performing one. Drum mers like Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich, and Louis Besson, though capable of swinging work, are really not very imaginative solo ists; yet the public seems to like them the most." Perhaps this merely serves to illustrate the point that the public xvould rather have noise than musicianship, as the rock and roll fad indicates, There are, hoxvever. three drum mers who are capable of giving a good performance every time around. They are Max Roach. Jo Jones, and Shelly Manne. and of these three the only one who has achieved any degree of public ap proval beyond the barest minimum is Manne. Most people never seem to have heard of the other two. Max Roach is the most violent of the three. He belongs to a school of jazz known as the ' Hard Boppers," a school led by Miles Davis and Art Blakey. among others. While Blakey tends to be come overly-exhibitionistic am' sacrifice musical value lor surface excitement. Roach is the music ian's musician. a continually searching, alented musician. This adventerous spirit can be seen in his new EmArcy recording. "Max Roach In 3 4 Time " no. this is not the "Blue Danube" bit. The name of Jo Jones is synony mous in jazz circles wi:h taste, humor, and amazing dexterity. Jones was the anchor man in the great Count Basie rhythm section of the late thirties and forties, and now is a free lance operator who records any where, any time, and with any school. Jones is not the showcase drummer, pre leiing to be the swinging, inventive influence behind a group. The happy face of Jo Jones, propelling Teddy Wilson or the Count, is one ot j. 1 z. dom's most precious posses sion. Although he is featured on countless albums, he only has one record of his own, a Vanguard release called "The Jo Jones Special.' which contains one of the most delightful solos on record any where. If you can find it. buy it. An album of -modern jazz per formances of the tunes from "My Fair Lady" brought Shelly Manne to national attention. Manne is the technician of drummers-many have said that he is the best technician in the world, excluding r.one. Despite this great technical ability, however, he has not fallen victim of stilfness and lack of spirit. His backings are consider ed the most sympathetic and cap able in progressive jazz, as can be seen on the "My Fair Lady" re cording. Tin fact that he is beginning to each national ac claim is most encouraging for jazz, for he may be able to lead the way, so to speak. I Jiave omitted a great many wonderful drummers-Chico Hamil ton, Osie Johnson, and Don La mond, to mention a few but I think I have hit upon the three greatest. They are the bearers of Big Sid Catlett's tradition of swing ing, tasty drumming. GLEN DA FOWLER Feature Editor MARY M. MASON EDIT STAFF Whit Whitfield, Nancy Hill.

The tragedy points out the fait that not onlx ollicials but students as xvell must always be on the look out lor tragedy when it is least ex pected. They must prepare for the unexpected assuming that someday it will happen. As an outgrowth of the accident, it has been projxised that student swimmers at State College ctei the pool in pairs of two. or the well-known "buddy .system."

Education Up With III: Down With Joneses Individuality, Initiative Curtis Gans The basic goal of a Rood educational set-up is the stimula tion of thought and individuality. It is a necessity for a strong democracy ; With American psychology as it is today, it is doubtful that this goal will ever be reached. Americans today are fed group consciousness and the avoidance of individuality. They worship heroes xvho are athletes, enter tainers, and generals. The criter ion for this adulation is the group's approval of this man's "Talent ", and how much hold he has over the group. Americans today look at the .Joneses as their ideal, and lo be come equal to the Joneses is the American s goal. , The American community first and above all frowns on intellect. They become scared when a man of ideas crosses their path. This is especially notable recently with the case of Adai Stevenson. It be comes notable in the case of any ideological or scientific develop ment, for the American poulace not only does not understand these new ideas, but makes no effort to try to get the knowledge necessary to understand. Here again is the idea of the "Golden Mean", and the cult of comfort. An deviant from the norm is looked on as untoward and anathema. ' Yet, what the American fails to realize is that the individuals the people of initiative, who have seen fit to push themselves above and away from the levels of the Joneses, have shaped this xvorld. It is the man with extraordinary mental energy, like, Einstein, Des Cartes, Socrates. Machiavelli, Nexvton, Locke, Aristotle, and many others, who has produced the ideological and scientific world in xvhich people live. But people have a natural pro pensity for saying that "this is the best of all possible xvoiids." and for acting as if any individual xvho threatens to change it would harm the world. It isn't so. It is the individual who sees things wrong, that, if given the freedom to act. will bet tor the situation. And the risk that he might worsen the situation is worth taking. This rambling around a point leads one to the point, that the stolid conservation that is part of this country and the lack of ability of Americans to be stimulat ed by anything but a television set and an occasional glimpse of a woman's legs, is destroying the country through destroying indivi dual initiative. In order that the educational system be changed so that brain power, the nation's number one resource, can be cultivated, one must change the prevailing cli mate of opinion. One must cut down the bondage of conservatism and disinterest, and foster indivi duality. Perhaps one of the best ways for doing this, and Russia has done this quite successfully, is to substitute for American athletic, military, and acting hero, a hero in the form of the man with initia tive and intellect. If Americans can so easily create these other heroes, whose function in a peaceful xvorld or even in a world of troubles is in deed small, it should be quite easy to dramatize the role of in tellect in the fate of the world. And that role is great." Rut Americans will find it a little troubling to do this, for some of t he basic premises of material ism and conservatism will be shaken as a result. If, however, this is overcome, a strong and ef ficient democracy may be the result. If the American educational sys tem is to be upgraded, as is neces sary in the face of the Russian challenge, if a system of education which will be devoted to stimula tion of individual initiative and intellect is to be established, if America is to be a strong demo cracy, making the best possible use of its resources, then there must be a change in its present xvay of thinking. America must change its God. It must recognize the mind over the body. L'lL ABNER by AI Capp j21 TH,C- Muc7f bE H)? DOLL," THE ) YOU'RE.

I had just left the library (I was using their phone) to drive home for lunch. As I reached for the handle of my car door, the beep beep of a woman driver in the street drew my at tention for a moment, and I was still watching her intimidate some helpless truck-driver as I slid in under the wheel. I had already started the car and put it in reverse before I realized that there was somebody sitting next to me, on the front seat. It was me. Or was it I? Anyhoo, the guy's face looked like the same one that stares groggily at me every morning when I shave. So, naturally, the first thing I said was. "Who in the ever-lovin blue-eyed world are you?" And he, in a very sarcastic tone of voice, replred, "Who, in the ever-lovin' blue-eyed world do I look like?" Now if there's one thing I can't stand, it's sar casm. So my first reaction was to get rid of this screwball as fast as possible. I figured that if I insulted him, he'd get the idea. ? "Well," I said, "as a matter of fact, you look like me. But my philosophy instructor looks like Burt Lancaster, and that doesn't make him a trapeze artist.. I don't care the first thing about who you look like. I asked you who you are!" "Not that it really makes any difference," he said, grinning like a Cheshire cat, "but my name is Barry . Winston." You can imagine the eltect that remark had on my nervous system. First the clown makes himself at home in my car, and then he tries to convince me that he's me! I was in the process of reaching under the seat for a pipe wrench that I keep there for just such occasions when he spoke up again. "But enough of this idle chit-chat. I haven't got the time to be playing 20 Questions with you. There are some things I want to know about an article that was in the Tar Heel the other day, and I'm asking you be cause I know you better than I know anybody e'se on the staff." I couldn't say a word. This was too much! All I could do was xvonder how he thought he knexv n.e when I had never met him before. Without even giving me time to interrupt, had I been able, he started in again. "You're one of tle frat men, aren't you? Well what's all this jazz about discrimination in the clauses? I thought this "was 3 liberal-type campus." ' Frat men! I started for the pipe wrench again, but he threw me off balance by grabbing my cig aiettes out of my shirt pocket, so all I said was. "Look, my fraternity doesn't even . . ." "Bully for you! I didn't asK you about your frat. What's the story on discriminatory clauses? The editor ot the Tar Heel says that there are irats on this campus that have them, and he thinks it's all light. What do you think?" Actually, I'd never given the matter much thought at all, but 1 xvas darned if I was going to admit it to this wise-guy. So I started off cautiously, "Well, like the editorial says, the policy is set by the na tional chapter. And since one of the basic princi ples oi a fraternity is selectivity admittedly not a democratic process xvhy shouldn't there be a dis criminatoiy clause if everybody wants One? After all, isn't it just as much discrimination to keep a guy out for scholastic reasons?" With almost too much patience in his voice, he replied,-"Your analogy holds about as much wati-r asra German's weekend highball. What have grades got to do with discrimination? If you're going to get ridiculous, it would be discrimination for a salesman to refuse to sell me a car for the insignif icent reason that I didn't have any money. And as for the principle of selectivity, your reasoning makes about as much sense as trying to open a keg of gun-powder with a blow-torch. You just admitted that your frats like to be able to pick and choose as they please, didn't you? Talk sense, one time': How can they pick and choose when the national chapter hands down clauses that limit their rii;ht to do so?" Now I had him, by George! "So you think that the national chapters should be required to let just anybody into the fraternity! You think you should be able to tell a private organization xvho it can have in its membership, do you?" Surprisingly enough, he looked very thoughtful for a moment or two, and when he answered, it was in a much more pensive tone than he had been using. "No ... I don't think that I or anyone should be able to dictate the membership of any organization-. But it seems to me that's just what he nationals are doing to their local chapters. And there's still another, more practical consideration. If the national chapters don't loosen up, they stand to lose some houses on campuses that have already started to clamp down on this sort of thing. It hasn't happened here, yet, but even if it does, and your frats have to give up their discrimination in writing, you'll still have the right to blackball any body you want to. But you boys had better be giv ing some serious consideration to what you're goin; to do if the University decides that it can't sanction any organization with such clauses.' Now I was mad. I had a cause. "Let them perse cute us and try. to clamp-down. We have rights. We'll tell the whole world that we're being deprived of our basic freedoms!" He just loobed at me, and and smiled a sort of sad little smile. And then he said, 'While you're telling the whole world about your basic rights to discriminate against any group whose color, or creed, or nose-shape you don't like, be sure to holler loud enough for Pravda to hear you. They'll give you all the publicity you want."
