The only hitch to this pretty
scene is that among the record
ings "included out” was that self
same "Where or When,” along
with enough other good perform
ances to keep the cat’s heart
warm for many a long winter
evening. It must be great to be
smart.

to - know dept.: Every morning
at this hour in homes and holes
throughout the United States and
Corvallis musicians solemnly en
ter their inner sancta sanctorum
and, with bowed heads, turn to
ward Chicago and, clasping tight

Petrillo, pronounce the expres
sion, “Braaaak.”
With 17 house dances compet
ing with a sprinkling of radio
dances this weekend, the campus
will hear seme nice sounds before
Sunday rolls around. The best
angle to this uninspiring scrap of
news is that not all of the best
notes will be canned. Despite di
minished registration figures,
there are more good blowers
hereabouts this year than at any
other time in the nine centuries
I have been here.
Which brings us to our last
point, if any.
This colm has not been monu
mentally sympathetic with the
tub-thumper for George Carey’s
outfit. He has called it and its
author a number of adjectives
which, in mild form, add up to
"unfair.” And he's probably right.
In self-defense I say I was only
sharing in print the opinion ex
pressed by a flock of campus
jazzmen, including some in the
Carey band.
The straight slant on' the kid,
however, now is apparent. Be
lieve it or not, boys, the poor
devil has been told off—oh, that
this could be true!—to READ
the drum parts! As you know and
I know and any moron who holds
an AFM card SHOULD know,
drummers who read can’t play
jazz, and drummers who play
jazz can't read. The exceptions
to this rule have been drawing
pretty good salaries from Miller,
Crosby, et al. That ayone should
expect a local lad who doesn't
pretend to be a Krupa to violate
this rule is the simplest kind of
assininity.
My apologies, Rex.

MR. MERCHANT. DID YOU EVER
READ THE BIBLE?
The account of Joseph in the Old Testament tells
how he left his country under difficulties and coming
into a strange land he rose, through his diligence, to
become the principal person in the state, second only
to the King. The Biblical narrative brings us up to the
climax of his career and then hands us an awful jolt.
Without any words of preparation or explanation, it
says bluntly:
AND THE KING DIES, AND THERE AROSE
A NEW KING IN EGYPT WHICH KNEW
NOT JOSEPH.
Here was a man so famous that everybody knew
him and prepto, a few people die, a few new ones are
born and no one knows him.
*
MR. MERCHANT . i ;
A college University has even a higher "mortality"
of "kings"...old ones graduate, new ones "ascend"
the throne.
Cultivating good-will is a day-by-day and hour-by
hour business. Every day and every hour the 'King'
dies and there arises a new 'King' who does not know
Joseph."
