BENNIE DISLIKES
GIRL VOCALISTS
By HUBARD KUOKKA
Ben Pollack, the “Dean of Soph
isticated Swing’’ who played sweet
music for the junior prom last
night, is very carefully worming
himself out of having girl vocalists
in his band.
“The majority of girls are too
hard to handle,” he said over his
coffee and cigarette, “they are
always getting into trouble or
something.”
Besides, Pollack is opening up at
the Trocadero next June, and at
this place where all the movie stars
hang out to eat and talk business, |
an orchestra must be seen and not i
heard. When the actors chat over
their cocktails they do not want
to be interrupted to listen to some
gal singing songs.
Incidently, Benny Pollack mar
ried his last good vocalist.
The big thing in the mind of this
chubby, brown-eyed, musicianish
looking swing artist as he absorbed
his evening lunch is that he is go
ing on a strike. By the way, streaks
of grey in his long, black, wavy
hair make his look quite sophis
ticated.
“Yes, I'm going on a strike
against 18-hour drives,” he declar
ed. “I just did 18 hours of con
tinuous driving from Reno up to
here. And those turns, hummm—.
We got into town at 7 a.m.”
“Swing music ? It has taken me
14 to 15 years to catch on to swing
music. It is something that we
have been playing for years.”
He has observed that the dance
music public can be divided into
several groups. The average public
is 23 years of age, and this group
wants its music “swing.” In the
23 to 30 group, the subdued Lom
bardo style is tops, because these
people have romantic ideas. After
30 years of life the average per
son does not care what type of
music he is listening to, just so it
is music.”
GET MARTINI
STUBS BEFORE
NOON TODAY
Head-ache stricken and weary
from junior weekend problems,
Ralph S. Sehomp, educational
activities director and “brains”
of the festivities, yesterday
shouted derisively:
“Students haven’t redeemed
their Nino Martini concert
tickets yet. I want a box story
telling; them that if they don’t
g;et their tickets by noon today
they’re sunk. No student tickets
will be issued Sunday.”
Tickets can be obtained at the
ASUO ticket office in McArthur
court.
CANOE FETE EXPENSE
ACCOUNTS CAEEED TOR
Chairmen of each living organ
ization's float committee must
have an expense account turned in
to Doug Milne, float chairman, not
later than noon today. There will
be a meeting of all float chairmen
at the millrace just above the An
chorage at 10 o’clock this morning.
Judges have announced that co
operation with the chairmen in
building the floats, and keeping
within the budget are to be im
portant factors in choosing the
winners. All floats are to be com
pleted by noon Saturday, so that
any final arrangements can be
made, Milne stated.
It was also requested by Milne
that all members of the canoe fete
directorate should be at the morn
ing meeting in order that final
plans can be completed. All junior
men are requested to help this
morning in clearing the banks of
the millrace, to accomodate the
capacity crowd expected at the
canoe fete. All those interested in
swimming the floats down the mill
race are asked to call Doug Milne
at 318 before 6 o’clock.
The pros and cons of mustaches
— Kay Skalet and Nora Hitchman
saying they are in no position to
I be quoted. Tony Amato believing
men’s faces could stand a rest from
shaving. Men should go on “no
shave” strike, he s»iys. If men did,
the girls would be up in arms, and
not the men’s, about it!
NINO’S SINGING
RATED HIGHEST
When Nino Martini, leading
lyric tenor of the Metropolitan
opera company, comes to Eugene
to appear in the ASUO concert
Sunday, he will face one of the
largest crowds to gather in Mc
Arthur court for many years. If
ticket sales continue at the pres
ent rate the huge buiiding will be
filled, Ed Walker, ASUO ticket
clerk, said yesterday.
The Italian-born singer is one
of the most popular artists among
music lovers in the United States.
He is a favorite of screen and
radio.
Nino Martini, living with his
widowed mother, began his career
of mus;c at the age of 10, began
vocal training at 18, and made his
operatic debut when but 21. He
had already won considerable re
cognition as concert soloist with
the orchestra at Verona.
After coining to America he has
steadily and swiftly risen until he
now stands at the top of the ladder.
Martini will arrive in Eugene
Saturday and will be treated to
the canoe fete.
SCANDAL UP
The Green Goose, annual campus
scandal sheet, will be distributed
May 26.
Maybe Dahlberg missed his call
ing—should have been a math
prof—the clever way he dealt with
figures, round ones, at the Prom
last night.
