RINF.Tt FRANK C'ROWTIIKK M LOU REDDEN LARRY SMITH JONATHAN YARDI.KY W M.KI R HLANTON UILL l'ORTLT. Readers Repository Dear Mr. Young. In Mr. Yiirdley's recent com ments upon American Morality, then are. 1 think a tew points which deserve clarification and elaboration. Mr. Yardley talks oi tiiis "'degenerate" .state ol' Ameri can morals today as if it were a recent tiling, something that has only recently shook the founda tions of the American System. Mr. Yardley speaks of the way in which tlie American public is al most lorccd into believing things which are actually forced upon its mind in reality. Has this not been true in all generations"' In deed, the .ureal masses for thou sands of years have been shaped and moulded by the few who were and are si. 11 .smart enough to take advantage of the skuaiion in wh.cii they live. He speaks of the "'un.ruthliil practices of radio announcers or quizmen." Are they indeed untruthful? No further asks if "'we are not tooling ourselves as well as beiny fooled." Are we actually beinjj fooled or do we really want to lie fooled? lias the American Man the intelligence or the desire to have it any other way? Does he want to think? The answer is. if one studies the een;s m progress of other fireat naiioiu and their rise to power, a ery aliirmative No. Rut this needs to be said too: Thai men who simple against this apathy in American Moral i:y must u.se the same tactics to win converts to this their own way of thinking also. The public must be told over and oiv ajjain that they are falling deeper and deeper into the pitlalls maikin.u the end ol a Great Nation. Does this mean. then, that the men are to be condemned because they use the same tactics to put across to the American Public- their own beliels? Are they beinu dishonest in u.sin the same topics'.' Is than the main topic ol dis agreement not the methods used but the ideas which each are hop ing to put across? The Methods are excellent. Mike Sprinkle Dear Mr. Young; 1 would like for yon to print this article in the Daily Tar Heel. ON COl'RSK KVAI.UATIOX MIKKTS Last semester, a .step was tak en which' I think was all for the .uood: the distribution ol Course Evaluation Sheets. Ry this means we siuclents are provided the im pnitant opportunity of put.iny down our th.Hihis and suggestions about courses and instructors. lint I am wondering why the . questionnaires were passed out by so levv of tile faculty. In the five cour.-es in which I was enrolled the questionnaires were circulated in only two ol my courses. This appears to be a typical situation. . Tlie University Administration would be providing the S.udent Rt.dy with an important service il it would uquiie all instructors to " participate in this Course Evaluation program. Mr. Chancellor I hope snmeihinii can be done about this. L. 1'.

And the South is anxia that now invalid image. t preserve Senate Majority Leader Lyndon 15. .Johnson has recently shown himself to be not only a man of considerable political wisdom but also a man o! great courage, la Monday's sparsely attended Sen ate session Johnson tacked a civil rights rider onto a minor Missouri school bill, an action which has alienated much of his Southern presidential sup port. It has become increasingly obvious that John-; son is a serious contender for the nomination anC at the same time it has become increasingly dear that Adlai Stevenson is doing everything within his power to avoid coming to grips with another presidential campaign. As these developments be come more oivvious much of the Stevenson support may begin to swing towards Johnson, and thus place the Texas Senator in a seriously commanding position. For this reason the civil rights bill and its effects will prove to be of particular importance to the political ambitions of the eloquent and com petent Texan. The immediate reaction among Johnson's fellow Southern supporters Monday was one of great con sternation. Led by Georgia's highly capable Sena tor Richard R. Russell, they directed a stream of surprised damnation against the man who until then had been the gleaming hope of the Southern Renaissance. All that the South needs to do to he come, once again, an integral part of the Union is to get a Southerner into the White House. Ever since his emergence in the middle lf50's as the guiding spirit of the Senate. Johnson has been that man. Now Johnson has (ovc to show that he is a man with a National outlook, and the Southern politicos are left totally confused. It has long been the interest of the South, even more than the Northeast or the Midwest, to protect its own in terests, inasmuch as those interests are greatly dif ferent from those of many other parts of the coun try. The South represents to much of the. nation the only really aristocratic society we have ever Retaining that imaL;e means continued state power instead of federal control; it means the maintenance of the class system and a close approx imation of the old social (t iler; it means a kind of mint julep and magnolia magnificence which, of course, vanished at about the same time that Scar lett O'Hara was withstanding the pressures of Sherman and the Northern pillagers. Johnson, alone among the enlightened Southern leadership with the possible exception of Gover nor Luther Hodges seems to understand the need for a uniifed national policy within the Senate and legislative branches of the federal government, and he appears ready to make calculated risks in order to bring about the adoption of this policy. m- At present Johnson is making important roads into New York and California political ma chines, and this civil rights legislation will help him in states which have been noted for their na tional outlook. New York and California could mean the difference for Johnson, if he is able to hold on to the 450 convention votes be is currently reported to own. New York is going to be worth 113 votes in Los Aneeles. and California 98. This would leave Johnson lacking only about a hundred votes, and there are always a few states ready to jump aboard the presidential bandwagon when the motor starts running smoothly. It appears to Washington reporters that the Southern bloc will be unable to stop this legisla tion, inasmuch as the Republicans and the North ern Deniocrats are sure to pass it. and for the bill to pass will be a major victory for Johnson, who emerges more and more and the Democrat most likely to lead the party. He also is emerging as the Democrat most capable of leading the nation. And. as the party has been saving since 1952, any Democrat is more capable than Nixon. And they have every right to say what they think. If Johnson can retain the Southern support be now enjoys and there is no one, with the possible exception of Senator Kennedy to whom the South is more likely to turn, he may well be the choice of his party this July.

Soucie Last week's big band synopsis took us right un to the two most important figures in the band busi ness: Duke Ellington and Count Basie. This week end both of these great bands will be here on cam pus for the Winter Germans, along with the mo.' jazz-oriented of all vocal groups. Lambert, Hen dricks, and Ross. This is a musically significant event and Germans Club president Jonathan Yard ley informs me that he has invited the staff tj Down Beat magazine to attend. The front page publicity blurb in the Tar Heel last week took a lot of introductory load off my shoulders, so I'll just jump right in. The two or chestras are widely different in musical style, pur pose, and significance. The Ellington orchestra ;s an instrument through which Duke has projected his strong and unique musical personality. Its rmisie escapes categorization; it's not swing or modern, it is Ellington. The Count Basic band, on the other hand, represents the epitome of a musical tradi tion: the Kansas City blues. The Count's forte is swinging the blues. He is less interested in new forms than Duke, and his band's book is far more limited. But the band roars so on everything :t plays that you never notice it. The Basie band :s steeped in the timeless tradition of the Negro folk songs, while Ellington's roots are covered with a sophistication that is as polished as a veneer, but deeper. Rt t1: 1 have fronted their hands for ?1on;i time. Cot rt ".asie took over the Bonnie Moten band i'i Kansas CUv jn 1935 when tV leader died. Duke F":'i",on fc-vi:'d the first edition of his present ba-1 in lfT'l wben Fats Waller talked Duke into l"rvir" his V ' hington. D. C, home for Xevi" f ork s City. Their lt;- tenures as leaders have been far too complex f me to try to chronicle either in Hm? column. Suffice it to say that these men are mt i-e and devoted artists whose past accomplish ments have become world standards of perfection. Both bands have been veritable hot houses for jaz-' greats. Literally hundreds of top flight jazz Musicians have passed through the ranks of these t ands and the list of just the unquestionably great idemen is too long to mention here. In recent ears the featured sidemcn of both bands men like Duke's Johnny Hodges and Count's Joe New man have been making a great many records with groups of fellow Ellington or Basic sidemcn, usu ally in a style readily identifiable with that of their bosses. Although several, even many, promi nent musicians have come from the Ellington and Basie orchestras to make a name on their own. many of the sidemen have been very loyal, stay ing with their mentors for long stretches. At pres ent both leaders can boast of the unflagging loyal ty of at least one sideman apiece. Duke's great baritone saxophonist Harry Carney has been with 'the band since 1926. and Freddie Green. Basic's superb rhythm guitarist, has been an employee of the Count since 1937. Both of these musicians are very well known and admired by musicians' and fans, yet each has elected to stick by his leader. As for popularity with fans. I think that either Ellington or Basic won the best band spot in all the popularity polls last year with the exception of the Playboy poll, which Stan Kenton won. In the "Musicians' Musicians" Poll conducted in 195G by Leonard Feather. Duke Ellington won hands down in the musicians" balloting for the "greatest ever" arranger, and Count Basie edged out Elling ton for big band honors, with the two accounting for more than eighty nor cent of the votes. Basic's great bl ics shooter. Joe Wiliams, was the almost uncontested choice for male singer in the New Star categorv. fit-'k !61 N"s A ) I Size?

Hendricks, and P.oss, the other attrac tion this weekend, didn't figure in the "Musicians' Musicians" Poll for two reasons: the poll was con ducted before the trio was formed and there was no vocal group category. However, a good indica tion of their standing among fellow musicians is the fact that they were picked as the top vocal group by the winners of last year's Playboy poll. This trio is "as swinging as any band, and just as exciting. Their first LP was a thing called "Sing a Song of Basic," in which they did their vocal impressions of ;, doZen Basic, instrumental classics. They have made several records since, two of them with the Basie band. The trio is amazingly talented. It is composed of singer, arranger, actor, drummer, trumpeter, vocal group contractor, carpenter, painter, plumb er, mechanic, electrician, bricklayer, Dave Lam bert, singer, lyricist, drummer, short story writer poet Jon Hendricks and singer, dancer, actress An nie Ross. Actually, the trio's talents cannot be assessed by any sort of account of past experience on the part of each of its component parts. You've got to hear them to believe it. Better vet. see and hear them. I hope that you'll all be tn hand this weckt-nd fr.r the Winter Germans.
