Dec. 7, Next Time . . .
To recall what many of us,may have forgotten, it was
on a Sunday like this, almost exactly five years ago today,
that the United States entered a new phase in its history.
Remember? That was before the atomic bomb.
It was before the United Nations. x
It was almost a different world.
America First was active on campus all during the first
semester in 1941. Polls were taken as to whether men should
enlist or wait to be drafted. There were debates on arming
our merchant fleet in the Atlantic. Franklin Roosevelt was
damned as a devil and praised as a saint. Then the camera
of history went out of focus and stayed blurred for nearly
half a century.
On December 8, 1946, a look at the same camera makes
it seem as if we are still out of focus.
December 8, 1946, shows a nation on its heels after the
most disastrous coal strike in America's history. The inter
national scene is a turmoil of seething hate and distrust.
Petty national politics interfere with the successful solution
of world peace at every turn. And the average university
student shows a grandiose indifference to every matter out
side his own personal real mof social activity.
The entire nation has been too willing to pass the blame
of Pearl Harbor and the second world war onto the shoul
ders of a few leaders, forgetting that their indifference is
the one great breeder of war. The entire nation is over
looking the fact that continued indifference may well lead
us down the same path we followed in 1941.
. America First is gone. At least from the surface of
American politics.
We have the atomic bomb.
We have the United Nations.
But does the basic state of mind in December of 1946
differ greatly from that prevalent in December of 1941 ?
Today would be a good day to pause and give wonder.
December 7, next time, won't be pretty..

TO THE STUDENTS:
The transportation facilities be
tween the city and ag campuses
have long been considered inade
quate for the students attending
classes on both campuses. Previ
ously, this problem has been pre
sented to our university officials
for their deliberation. Thus far,
nothing constructive has been ac
complished only the explanations
"inadequate buses available,"
"war shortages," "only one bus."
Again, a few weeks ago, it was
informally presented. Now that
the war is a thing of the past, it
would appear as though measures
could be planned or executed to
remedy the intercampus transpor
tation. But the result was far from
being encouraging. The reply was
given simply, "too much red
tape," "only one" decrepid bus
available to alleviate the trans
portation situation."
Is this a lerttlmate evense or is
it easiest method of by-passinc a
problem that should hare beea
solved lone ao? If it is possible
to provide transportation between
Lincoln and the Air Base for the
married GX's why cant steps be
taken to improve the mode of
transportation of stndents dnrtn
class boors? And furthermore,
how can the University of Min
nesota which has Hs two cam
pases as widely separated as oars
maintain a private transportation
system to facilitate transfer of
students dnrinf class hoars be
tween their two campnses if there
is "too mnch red tape to cot"
The answer is, "It isnt impos
sible T The attitude of the nni
versity determines v -ther or not
students are afforded transporta
tion. In view of these circumstances
the Agricultural Executive Board
with the support of the Student
Council and various other student
organizations has taken upon it
self the task of preparing and cir
culating a petition among the stu
dents affected by the present
transportation system. The peti
tion reads as follows:
"We, the nndersisrned. respect
fully request the Board of Re
gents to provide transportation
during class hours for students at
tending classes at the college of
agriculture campus and the city
campus. It is furthermore re
quested that the buses make no
stops between the two campuses
and that the fare not exceed that
charged in other parts of the city."
This is your opportunity to di
rectly express to the Board of Re
gents that the present transporta
tion system available for your use
is inadequate. You may sign this
petition next Tuesday and Wed
nesday in the Ag Student Union.
Also several Ag Executive Board
members will circulate this peti-

By Steve Swarti
Stan Kenton's album "Artistry
in Rhythm," has finally hit the
record counters and the supply is
barely meeting the demand. After
spending one very enjoyable hour
listening to and reviewing this
masterpiece of modern jazz, it is
not difficult for me to understand
why this album is creating such a
furor in the music world.
June Christy takes, and handles
as only she can handle a terrific
torch number entitled "Ain't No
Misery In Me." This side starts
with a typical Kenton intro and
solos by Boots MussulK on alto
and Kai Winding on the trombone
help make the Gene Roland ar
rangement one to be remembered.
"Artistry In Percussion" demon
startes the ability of one of the
finest drummers in the biz. Shelly
Manne. The arrangement by Pete
Rugolo is somewhat reminiscent
of some of the work done by
Handy for Boyd Raeburn, con
taining the wierd nwdemisja
passages. The number again spots
the trombone of Kai Winding.
"Artistry In Bolero" takes off
with a Safraniski istrod action and
the theme is then picked by Stan
at the piano. Vido Musso's ui
takes np where Kenton leaves off,
and next hi order is Winding's
tram. Shelly Manne and Sa.fra.n
ski maintain a terrific beat
throughout the disc which brings
to mind traces of Ravel's bolero.
Vido Musso solos on a follow
ing record of "Come Bk To
Sorrento," the scoring was again
done by Kenton's ace arranger
Pete Rugolo. and spotlights the
sax section. This number is. even
with its increase in tempo toward
the middle, by far the tamest of
all eight sides.
"Artistry In Bass" which opens
with Safranski bowing, is one of
the outstanding recordings of the
entire album. Kenton's piano joins
into the melee of scream in; brass
and beating drums. Shelly Manne,
although taking no solo, does a
terrific job of background work
on the tune. Some of the efforts
created by the brass and rhythm
sections are far beyond the trt
in the conception of modern tr . -sic.
Stan, who is himself, a great
arranger tries his hand on a ditty
called "Opus In Pastels." The only
instruments used in this side are
the saxes and the superior rhythm
section. Bob Giorga's baritone sax
is the main factor in making
"Pastels' as gerat as it is, and he
tion among the various student
organizations. Sign it. ! !

1230.0!$trC;
should be listed among the na
tion's finest. Also worthy of men
tion is the too great lead alto man
Al Anthony who does a bang up
job.
On "Willow Weep For Me," June
Christy is at her best, as she
usually is on any blues number.
The Kenton piano and Safranski
bass lead the background Instru
mentalixatton for June's outstand
ing vocal performance. Iete Rug
olo again is credited with the writ
ing of the score. You might notice
at the finish that Kenton and his
ivories sound similar to something
of Nat Cole's.
The final record is another Stan
Kenton original, "Fantasy," and
the score which certainly lives up
to its name, picks up at a frantic
tempo, which is so characteristic
of Kenton's crew. The arrange
ments high spot is the using of the
trams and the trumpets in an echo
effect such as the one created on
a previous record. "Artistry
Jumps." Safranski's bass is in
there all the time.
