We've been waiting lor it quite some time now. and the surprise announcement that funds are be ing sought came as the harbinger of hope. Ever since the spring of 1057, when the Uni versity proved conclusively to one and all that l.askotball here is better than basketball almost anywhere else students an: tt.wnspeop'o alike have been clamoring for a structure large enongb to hoH the immense crowds who want to see even the least important of U N.C. contests. The sentiment in ftaleiuh was very strong too. After all. Duke and North Carolina State have fine coliseums. "Is it right fo- the premier state-supported institution to he behind its lesser competi tors." Legislators asked themselves. Reports have it that the recent request from our administration has been met with great e'llhusia.-ms and hish hopes in the state enpitt.l. It looks as though we are going to get that coliseum. And this writer is delighted, because it seems that the current system of alphabetical distribution always give the A-M people the best games! There is only one fault that wo can find with the plans for this proposed multi-purpose buildiiv-i. and that mav not really be a very big one. ft does, however, bring up an interesting point. Architec turally, the designs for this new building are singularly undistinguished. The overall impression one eels from looking at an architect's drawing is that of a flat, dull structure with nothing distinc tive or distinguished about it. It is just another big. ugly building. And there are too many big. Ug!y buildings on this campus. The fact that nevertheless the Chapel Hill campus is one of the prettiest, particular in the spring, of all Southern colleges is one which we find continually astonishing. Hon- can boautv rest in an atmosphere infested with Venables and Cobbs and Murpheys and. worst of all. Acklands? How can we look down the mam camous in the middle of May and find it beautiful even though the object at the apex of our vision is the Louis Pvound Wilson Library, certainly a ct.re sight lor any eyes, This is not to say that beauty can be found in order Duke University has one of the mo;sf ordered campuses in the nation, and instead of being beautiful it is coldly new. It is a frigid col lection of buildings covered with ivy that looks so new it has led some observers to believe it is glued to the walls. There is no warmth to Duk and there is warmth to Chapel Hill. The warmth of Chapel Hill has been talked about, written about and read about until it has become rather tire some, but it is there. It is there in people and spring flowers and a friendliness that is hard to find elsewhere. It is to the credit of the University that this warmth has managed to supercede architectural miscarriages like Alumni Building and New East Annex (but perhaps we can blame that one on the Defense Department). It is. however, ,oo bad that construction here has been carried on in" such a haphazard manner, with so little concern for symmetry or beauty. The campus of the University of Virginia is. in manv wavs. truly beautiful. So is that of Princeton .University. And both of those institutions impart a certain sense of warmth, even to the casual visitor. There is a balance of natural and architectural beauty on those campuses that -is. at times, quite breathtaking, specially for those wlio have seen Charlottesville in the spring. This new coliseum is going. to open up a new era lor the University. Not only with the basketball team be placed in surroundings commensurate o its skill, but speakers and entertainers will be presented in an arena large enough to hold all those interested in hearing them. Perhaps that lucky day will come when the campus is visited by interna tionally known symphonies, when great popular en tertainers can bp presented in an auditorium large enough to make bringing them here profitable. And perhaps, someday, all of us will be able to see a basketball game. Wo only wish (lie coliseum could be more handsome. Rutgers University By DIGBV R. DIEHL (irom Rutgers Daily Targum) (UPS) The end of an era of discrimination and bigotry seems to be in sight for the Rutgers Uni versity fraternity system. In a campaign of education and tolerance, campus leaders have helped end prejudice at three more fraternities this year, making over half the Rutgers fraternity system integrated. Initiating the educational pro gram. Student Council President Harry Morgan spoke to an assem b'y of the freshman class explain ia.S the problem: . . I come t5 yen with an appeal. First I ask you to recognize that discrimina tion doe exist here and that it is a problem. You may answer this aineal bv simnlv saying 'I in tend to pledge a house of my faith and of my color.' This is not an answer this is an avoidance." Morgan further irged the fresh men not to be afraid to "break the discrimimiion barrier" and join one of the houses which is rvinq to integral. He emphas i7d that -he solution to fratern'ty discrimination would be the aHi '" '' of the rushees toward segre ga'ion. The Rn'sers Daily Targum con t'nued tho program with editor ials, columns and articles con cerning discrimination at Rutgers and other campuses. Richard Saudler. Tansum Editor in Ciiief, advocated understand ing in a series of articles on dis crimination. ". . . Discrimination in individuals Ls learned behavior. People are not born with preju dices and for this reason, we feel that steps can be taken to do away with discrimination." While we firmly believe that fraternities should not discriminte, we must aLso add that the process of integration should not be forced, but undertaken by every sectar ian house as a sincere effort to promote the true brotherhood that the fraternity advocates. Preju dices are as old as antiquity and men will not alter their beliefs or forget their hatreds, overnight. Through education and democratic principles, discrimination may be overcome, but it will be a long process." ". . . The freshmen have some control in the integration process. They can work from the outside and aid the internal forces that are working for integration. Only by breaking down provincial at titudes can fraternities continue to exist." Although campus discussion was notable, campus leaders had no way of knowing whether their pro gram was getting through to the freshmen until, at a pre-rushing forum' with all fraternities parti cipating, the question asked by TOof the rushees was. "Is your house integrated?" A Targum spot poll further indicated that many freshmen would not join a -segregated fraternity. The final test came when pledge classes were announced and three houses with long histories of seg regation, had integrated. Zeta Beta Tau. Sigma Alpha Mu, and Chi Phi accepted men from varied faiths and races .into their pledge classes. Even more encouraging was the fact that six or seven of the other discriminating houses declared sincere intentions of in tegrating in the near future. As an interesting sidelight, throughout the discrimination con troversy, the Targum was featur ing a series of, articles on one of Rutgers most famous alumni Paul Robeson.

Soucie The word is out that the big band business -getting better. I hope so. So far not too many in roads have been made into jazz during this recent renaissance rumor, but there have been some ink lings, of it. In the past the jazz world has seemed tc have been able to support only a small fixed number of orchestras at any one time. The number was usually four (Count Basie, Duke Ellington. Woody Herman, and Stan Kenton), but for the firsi time in a long while, a new band has made it. The band is Maynard Ferguson's. There have been other new bands in jazz, but none of them (the now-disbanded Sauter-Finesan Orchestra excepted; ever lasted as long as Maynard's has. Dizzy Gil lespie's good will band of 1956-57 was the mosr important of the now defunct orchestras, but thero have been many others in recent years that camr and went: Sauter-Finegan. Willis Conover's THE Orchestra, Dan Terry. Shorty Rogers. Chubby Jack son. Oscar Pettiford. Pete Rugolo. George Shear ing. Quincy Jones, and Gerry Mulligan (a dream rehearsal group that featured among others Zoot Sims. Lee Konitz. Hal McKusick, Bob Brook mcyer, Eddie Bert. Willie Dennis. Idrees Suliemart. Don Ferrara. Oscar Pettiford. and Opie Johnson:). Terry Gibbs has a big band now, but I haw a hunch that finances are oing to force him to cut back to cornea format soon. Benny Goodman has whipped a band into shape very now and then for a con"-- tour, but the King hasn't bothered te rish ''- tilth by any extended road tours. O," course ' i -el Hampton has had a big hand for many v row. but you really can't call Hamp's band ia . 1 started out as an adequate jazz nr tf:m :) oi -d son degenerated into its present no: a V. ' -id of rock and roll, exhibitionism, ir nrr- 'aste. and noise. But oh. sweet mvs- ter. Hok at t' list of Hampton discoveries; Clif 'irown. ";mmv Cleveland. Dwike Mitchell. Cork- Corcora and Monk Montgomery. Jazz has 1 r heard cop: istently from Les Brown's Band of r known and occasionally from other dance or-ea-v-itions like those of Harry James and Rav McV'mley, but these are dance bands first ani foremost. Today's big band scene in jazz territory is thf "me old Basie-Ellington-Herman-Kenton quartet r'us the new Maynard Ferguson band, although the Mlliant Boston-based non-travelling band led by Herb Pomeroy must be mentioned. Ferguson's twelve man group is the smallest of the bands, and Maynard at 31 is the youngest name band leader a well as one of the news'. The compact unit has a very tight ensemble sound and the primary soloist, is of course, Ferguson. Maynard has matured musically since his days with Kentcn, but he still woks a great deal in the up per register. Hrs middle-register is to my mind more interesting, and he now sdoUs the trumpet pyrotechnics with lower frequency blowing on valve trombone and baritone horn. The band swings like mad. but at a jazz concert the emphasis is exclu sively on the high-tension end of the spectrum. Woody Herman has had some of the best bands in jazz history. His Three Herds have each ac counted for their share of jazz developments, but he has been plagued by the '"second best band" stigma. His Herds usually swing more than Duke and usually have more ' interesting arrangements and soloists than Count, but one or the other of them manages to outclass him as a whole. In re cent years Woody has had to spend more and more time working with his octet (the "Las Vegas Herd") until he finally had to forsake the big'band alto gether. He has just formed a new orchestra and taken it on a European tour. I haven't heard the new band, so I can't say anything about it but if it's anything like 'the outfit he fronted Iat sum mer at the Monterrey Festival, look out when Woody comes back! Stan Kenton is the perennial favorite with the fans and the constant source of irritation to the jazz critics. His bands have always been full of talent, but have been for the most part too self consciously "progressive." Stan's best band w.s the 1955 one which featured Stu Williamson. Sam Note. Carl Fontana. Bill Perkins. Charlie Marian . Dave Van Kriedt, and the most swinging Kenton rhythm section. Mel Lewis. Max Bennett, and Ralph Blaze. The loss of mr.st of this personnel has droo ped Stan's present band .several notches below th 1955 edition. Mel Lewis drove Kenton's band better than any drummer before or since, and his loss has hurt most. The present house arranger. Ii 1! Hclman, has more inherent swing and fire th;:u any of his predecessors, and I guess it's beeau Bill claims he learned about wailing from Zuot S:ms who swings more than anvone: when they bcth held down the Kenton tenor chairs. The Old Makers Court William Basie and Duke Edward Kennedy Ellington - will be dis cussed next week in this column. Incidental. lht-forth-ommg Winter Germans weekend couldn't posc.hh- more swinging: the Duke for a danc and concert on the 19th and the Count and Lam bert, Hendricks, and Ross (the most swinging vocal eroup) for a concert the following afternon. CRAZY! Oh, yes, be sure to glom the Steve Allen show next Monday night; the Art Farmer-Benny Gols.n Jazztet is guesting.
