In the summer of 1935, Basie had a ten-piece band which John Hammond, the noted music critic, heard on a small Kansas City ra dio station. Hammond helped bring the band to Chicago and then to New York in 1936, where it was enlarged. In January 1937 the band made its first recordings, and the following year became in ternationally famous. The qualities that established it were Basie's simple, swinging, elliptical piano style and the driving impetus of a great rhythm section. "Head" arrangements, develop ed spontaneously by Basie's solo ists, added to the impact of the band. Except for a period in 1950-51 when he led a 'swinging sextet', Basie has led a big band continu- Playmakers Propose Changing Show Time By PETE IVEY What's 30 minutes to a theater goer?

Perhaps those from out-of-town, the commuters from Ra leigh, Durham, Sanford, Greens boro, Winston-Salem and even as far as Charlotte will want the later time because it gives them more driving time to reach Chap el Hill after dinner. However, such people realize they have to drive back after the play is over, putting them home at mid night or later.

Winston-Salem Junior Offers Suggestions Christopher Farran. a junior from Win5tcn-Salem, yesterday an nounced his intention of running for the editorship of the Daily Tar Heel in the sprii'. elections. Farran said. "I'm going to be campaigning for two things: a better Tar Heel and a better cam pus." "I feel I can better the Tar Heel through increased attention to the news columns by stressing itudent and faculty news over na tional and international r.cws. I hope to mstitufe a de'inite system of 'beats' in order to always have experienced reporters covering South Building, student legislature, and dorm life, to name a few. I'd like to see more and better use of pictures. I can draw corr patent and experienced people from the Journalism School to assure us a newspaper run by people trained for the job although we'd always welcome help from competent Ieople with other majors. I feel I can -write editorials of local sig nificance with a broad base of ;ampus interest." Farran said, "I feel the Tar Heel can better the campus by paying attention to the majority of students rather than to the same select lew. I m going to work tirelessly for the betterment of dorm life social advantages, dorm communications and libraries, athletic events, dormitory living conditions in general. 1 II also work for a more interesting and ac cessible undergraduate library and a student union which means more to more students." Farran, a journalism major, is president of Sigma Delta Chi, na tional professional journalLsm fra ternity. He is currently News Edi tor of fie Daily Tar Heel, and in the past has been co-feature edi tor and was DTH reviewer in his tresnman year. He has done fea ture writing and reporting for the DTH. He worked for a year with the UNC News Bureau and has been reporter for three summers with the Winston-Salem Journal. He was editor of his high school news paper, last year edited the Jour nalism School annual, and is cur- I rently a member of the Publica tions Board. "I'm sure I've had the varied experience as reporter and editor to fill the job," Farran says, "and I know I've got the desire to im prove the campus by improving the Tar Heel. "I think I can make the DTH edit page the editorials and the letters a forum for reasoned, mod erate discussion rather than a sounding board for political ex tremi.n.
