Father Goes Back to School
‘Y^’HEN campus weekends which conic un
der the classification of “special” are
viewed objectively it becomes apparent that
their classification is mostly functional. There
is Homecoming for the alums, while Junior
weekend, although a show for all visitors,
rates as a mothers’ weekend. There are one or
two nameless weekends in the spring during
which prospective freshmen are guests of
honor. There is even the spring law school
weekend, when the barristers blow off steam
in their own inimitable way.
The most purely functional of all such
weekends finds itself within two weeks of ac
tuality today, which refers to none other than
Dads’ Day, the weekend for father.
The beauty of this particular weekend, and
that feature which puts it in a class by itself,
is that it is for father and none other. It, is a
foregone conclusion 1 hat the dads will have
the field to themselves when they come to the
campus. They will,not have 1o compete with
a football game or a canoe fete or with spring
term. Here is the one instance where the guest
of honor is really the guest of honor.
*k # #
r I'MIEliE is not much point here in going
through the reasons which make a fath
er’s row a hard one to hoc, especially and im
mediately for the father whose offspring has
reached the precarious college age. Everyone
knows that the business of bill paying is a
little unpleasantry which would be happier
done without; but it will not be so very long
before the very planners of this Dads’ Day
celebration will be out paying a few bills of
their own. Many of them already know the
sting of the formal “please remit.” Father
pays, and the traditional picture of the over
taxed family pocketbook lias no place in this
discussion, for be knows where the money
goes and is probably proud of it in the long
run.
Once a son or daughter gets into college
parents find themselves more and more as
suming the role of strangers. Possibly a busy
father was already on the way long before
eollege happened to bis family. Certainly there
is little opportunity for the average father to
learn first-hand just what his offspring go
through (non-financially speaking) while
they are in college. Letters home are notable
chiefly in their omissions, and anyway there is
no adequate way of getting it across without
actually demonstrating on the ground.
It is for this reason that Dads’ Day as a
weekend stands high in special functions of
the college year. It is at this time that the
father manages to see things with his own
eyes, to find out what factors contribute to
the change in his progeny. It might even help
to point out why it is that a child who has
grown up with a mind of his own is likely to
go farther than one more tractable to parental
law.
There are endless possibilities for such a
weekend, not the least of which is the obvious
one that a large number of fathers will have
a chance to compare notes. The fact that there
is a program worked out makes little differ
ence, for it is the deeper implications which
hold the more weight. The program lends a
nucleus and no more. There are few frills to
Dads’ Day.
All in all, it is neither ordinary nor super
ficial, this weekend for dads, and it is in a
class by itself. Doth generations will benefit
from such an association.

The
BAND
BOX
By BILL MOXLEY
To those who are still in
doubt as to the hot jive ability
of Glen Miller, a short listen to
one of his seven o’clock cig
shows will prove Miller's finesse
at making ’em jump when nec
essary. Glen has worked out a
varied and well-balanced pro
gram which he sticks to on all
his broadcasts.
He starts out with medium
fast tempo on his first number;
next, the Andrews chirp a tor
rid dittie which Glen follows
with a folk song revival done up
in very slow time. On his con
cluding number the rafters
never fail to shake. And how
the studio fans love it. They
yell loudest on the jive and Mil
ler knows it because he is
gradually weaving more and
more swing into his routine. An
important part of a big band
leader's job is to know what is
boring his listeners before they
know it themselves.
Profit in It
A surprising twist to the suc
cess of different styles of mu
sic is revealed by the financial
side of the business. In an era
in which ninety per cent of the
publicity is controlled by the
swing factors, seventy per cent
of the income received from
theaters and hotel engagements
is gobbled up by the sweeter
bands. . . . This fact should
help to prove, contrary to gen
eral opinion, that money and
sweetness often go together.
Speaking of money, the mu
sic business has gleaned more
gravy this year than ever be
fore. Phonograph records for
1939 outsold by 50 per cent
those of 1938, and showed an
increase of 700 per cent over
tire all time low established in
1933. Last year, Decca alone
cleared nearly $400,000 from
disc successes.
Europe Sings War Away
America is just beginning to
hear about some of the new
British war songs, rrtany of
which have been composed in
popular dance form. The two
outstanding songs to come
across the seas so far are
“We've Gotta Party in Berlin”
and “We'll Hang Out Our
Washing on the Siegfried Line”
. . . With the embargo tighten
ing up on Germany, perhaps
the nazis will adopt for their
theme song Harry Pease’s new
composition, “There's a Tear
in My Beer Tonight.”
The hottest swing tune of
the week is Jan Savitt’s record
ing of “720 in the Books.” This
is a tune that jumps and jumps
and then jumps some more. It's
already been acclaimed by east
ern jitterbugs as a real sender.
“720 in the Books” will be on
t sale in downtown music stores
"next week.
