''Mama' Leading Lady Terrific; Gets Four Point, Keeps House By BILL YATES '['lie Emerald reporter who has been writing advance stories .for the latest University theater production "1 Remember Mama," which opens tonight, was unable to do today's inter view with the star of the play. Why? Because Lejeune Grif fith. the girl who plavs the lead, also writes drama news for the Emerald. LeJeune Whitney Griffith is a powerhouse. Last term Mrs. Griffith received a four-point. While accomplishing this little feat, she also managed to keep house for her husband, Carl T. Griffith, senior in business ad ministration, and to crowd in more campus activities than many students do in four years at the University. 1 Among Mrs. Griffith’s accom plishments since coming to the campus in January last year, are: the part of Elizabeth Condon in last spring’s production, “Out Flew the Web,” assistant director of “Dark of the Moon” last term, regular Emerald columnist and DISCOGRAPHY By JACKSON If you’re a disc digger, a platter pusher or a needle nudger, you’ll be interested in the new English Dec ca ffRR (full frequency range re cording) platters that are now available at Grave’s wax works. Bert Ambrose’s waxing of “Night Ride” is the best and most typical example of this British jazz. Am brose recorded this platter about ten years ago, but at that time his music was rated twenty years ahead of time, so still it has ten years to In the serious department, Eng lish Decca offers Stravinsky’s “Pe ♦rouchka” which should interest students of the ballet and charac ters who enjoy comparing Stravin sky’s work with the George Handy arrangements for Boyd Raeburn. This album is also recorded by the ffRR process which gives greater frequency production than avail able in stateside records. Probably the best novelty platter to hit the market since the release of Jack McVea’s “Open the Door Richard” is Billy Butterfield’s “Steamroller.” This platter rolls along with a fine stuttering vocal by Butterfield. The flip-over gives “jalousie,” the standard tango that has been recorded by multitudes of musicians but never with the smooth trumpet treatment given it by Butterfield. ■Musicraft, the little label with some big stars (Artie Shaw and Duke Ellington), has released its first disc with Mel Torme doing a single. The song is “Born to Be Blue,” a Torme original. Torme (the name is pronounced Tor-may) is a triple threat star who drums a bit, sings a different type of vocal, and “’writes a few songs such as “Strang er In Town” and “The Christmas Song.” In the “Blue” number, his vocal ability is shown with a treat ment which can only be called “breathless phrasing.” The south side of the record offers “It Hap pened in Monterey,” a standard which has been blended with “Ra mona.” Torme has also made several platters with the Shaw orchestra including the popular “For You For Me Forever More.” The Joe Mooney Quartet, the foursome receiving raves from all the music mags, has waxed its first platter under the Decca label. It is “Just a Gigolo” which provides some excellent instrumentation and a fine King Cole-like vocal. The flip over side offers the ever pleasing “September Song” from “Knicker bocker Holiday.” Hear these records, and thou sands more at Graves Music Com "*pany—the record shop with the complete selection of the platters you like to spin. Paid Advt. Graves Music Company reporter, and a participant on the University sponsored radio pro grams. About her present part of Mama in the current University produc tion Mrs. Griffith says “one of those rare things that captures your heart because it is so hu man.” Mama, she believes, is a rare type of woman whose sim plicity and wisdom dominate her family and inspire them to live in a creditable manner. Mrs. Griffith, who attended Brigham Young university, Utah, before the war, served in the WACs during the war, rising from a buck private to a captain. Trav eling continuously for over a year “from the Canadian border to Mi ami Beach to Southern California and Washington,” Mrs. Griffith served as an inspector for the AAF personnel distribution com mand. At present Mrs. Griffith lives in the Glenwood district with her husband and two dogs—Lady, a Skye terrier and Lady’s son, Sandy. Spring Registration (Continued from page one) New students, old-returning stu dents, and students who were pre vented from advance registration by action of the scholarship com mittee or for other reasons will begin registration procedures on March 31. New students who are held for clearance of examinations and other special entrance ap pointments must complete these requirements before completing registration. Mr. Avery, commenting on the new plan, said he considered it fundamentally sound and believed it would work efficiently for all registrations. “There will be some bottlenecks show up,” he said, “but we will be watching for them and will take care of them as soon as they do. Most of them should be out of the way for registration next fall.” Realizing some students may feel they cannot complete advance registration because they will not be able to meet the financial re quirements at that time, Avery called special attention to the stu dent loan fund, created for the purpose of assisting qualified-stu dents in such emergencies. Appli cations for the loans can be made quickly during registration at the offices of the dean of men or dean of women. “If the student’s GPA is 2.00 or over the loan is not difficult to obtain and' he, or she, should not hold up registration simply because of a temporary lack of funds,” he said. 7Y/ Plans Cali (Continued from f'ogc one) cussion at 10:30 a.m. “Peace Through Education” is the topic chosen by the panel members to discuss.
