Big Rebate Brings Run
On Stock at Co-op Shop
By BILL YATES
Sales at the University cooperative store have jumped
sharply since the announcement last Thursday that a 30 per
cent rebate would be paid on 1946-47 purchases, a reliable
source at the Co-op said yesterday. But there has been no
serious “run” on the store and the stocks have not been de
pleated, according to the source.
The manager of the store, M. F. McClain, who had objected
to the high rebate, refused to com
ment when questioned about Co-op
sales. Yesterday was the deadline
for students to turn in receipts al
* lowing them rebate payments.
Sales Heavy
Co-op clerk/ said that there have
been heavy demands on many items,
undoubtedly caused by the unusual
ly high rebate authorized by this
year’s Co-op board. Rebates have
been about five per cent previous
to this year.
A sales girl at the cigarette and
candy counter said that cigarette
sales had been "tremendous.” Stu
dents, she said, have been purchas
ing as many as six cartons at a
time. A limit of two cartons per
customer was made yesterday as
stocks on popular brands neared de
pletion.
High sales were also made on
candy, stationery, tennis racquets,

campus drive.

Jazz Enthusiasts to) [Hold Final Club Meeting
By JIM WALLACE
Tonight at 7:30 in the alumni
room of Gerlinger hall the campus
jazz fans will hold their last or
ganized jazz club meetting of the
term. For the final get together the
jazz enthusiasts are planning a dou
ble feature program consisting of
some Muggsy Spanier records, con
sidered modern classics of the New
Orleans style music,' and also sev
eral sides of rebop, the newest jazz
innovation, featuring such musi
cians as Coleman Hawkins and Diz
zy Gillispie.
Throughout the year the jazz
club under the guidance of the in
stigators of the organization, Jim
"Pops" Windus and Fred Samain,
have tried to follow a purpose of
furthering general knowledge of
jazz and acquainting the public,
especially college students, with this
type of truly American music.
The club has also attempted, by
means of records and discussions,
to trace the development of jazz and
to show how much this form of mu
sic has contributed to the popular
music of today. The implications of
jazz on the American cultural scene
have been huge, a decade of the
present century has come to be
known as the “jazz era."
Improvement of Jazz
The University jazz club started
from more or less informal gather
ings of students interested in jazz
and who wanted to bring it to the
attention of others. They wrere try
ing to establish local improvement
of jazz, especially in the quality of
campus "jazz" orchestras.
Jazz has gone into the classroom,
too. On the Oregon campus Profes
sor Whiting, an early booster of
the jazz club, has used jazz in his
anthropology work to demonstrate
the growth of a cultural tradition.
Hoyt Franchere is using jazz to
show the development of contem
porary American society.
A .brief outline of the history of
jazz, as discussed by the club this
past term, shows the beginnings of
this type of music in New Orleans
near the turn of the century among
Negro musicians. These musicians,
playing in funeral processions after
the burial, "jazzed up” the music in
an attempt to remove the air of
gloom.
Jazz Movement Spreads
In Chicago the white musicians
i started to follow jazz but they im
parted a different form to the mu
sic which soon spread to both coasts.
Jazz suffered a setback during pro
hibition but upon repeal it again
became popular.
Present day jazz musicians are
usually found in the larger orches
tras as side men but the old-time
jazz combination of six or seven
players has evolved into the small
swing combos found in modern or
chestras.
