If you have even half-heartedly
been considering the practical
value of suicide and are getting
to the stage where you're pricing
harp lessons, we advise you to let
Artie Shaw's record of "Gloomy
Sunday" strictly alone.
This little dirge caused quite a
sensation a few years ago when
it first came out and earned for
itself the title of "suicide song."
Seems that morbid-minded per
sons, after hearing it, would run
out to the nearest river and jump
in.
Several issues of "Gloomy
Sunday" have been appearing on
the music stands again recently.
Spurred on by its reputation and
curious as to whether our nerves
were still steady, we blithely
picked up the gory thing and
listened to the sad story of why
"my heart and I have decided to
end it all." You'll probably find
Shaw's black-mood arrangement
very infectious. We were about
to walk out and hurl ourselves in
front of an oncoming car, but at
the last minute remembered we
had a column to write.
Bunny Berrigan's treatment of
"A Study in Brown" (remember
it? About 1938) is perfect for
offsetting any hangover from
"Gloomy Sunday." It is played
moderately fast, very smooth, full
of cute riffs. All in all very danc
able. Don't miss hearing it. On
the other side is "Caravan," fea
turing a lot of Berrigan's low
down trumpet. If you like the
Berrigan technique, it's a good
deal. If not well, you still have
"Study in Brown."
"Porgy and Bess" Is probably
the most-recorded American work
ever written. There are many 10
and 12 inch waxings of selections
from the Gershwin folk-opera,
both vocal and instrumental.
However, only two albums of the
complete opera have been re
leased. One is Decca's, with Todd Dun
can and Eva Jessye, both of the
original cast, singing the leads.
After hearing it you will probably

wonder what a nice guy like
Gershwin ever did to deserve
something like that. The stage
presentation was undoubtedly ex
cellent, but it lost a lot in the
recording.
Or perhaps it just suffers in
comparison with Victor's album.
Lawrence Tibbet and Helen Jep
son sing in such a way that one
imagines "Porgy and Bess" was
written exclusively for them. Al
exander Smallens directs the
original orchestra and chorus
through effectively - arranged
background music.
Most novel item in the album
is "Summertime" being sung
against a background of crap
shooters. Besides her regular ren
dition, Jepson sings the famed
lullaby while Tibbet and his
cronies can be heard yelling about
"7 come 11" and "roll that beau
tiful number."
Just a hint: here's three weeks'
advance notice to get a date for
Monday. Oct. 23. Very reliable
rumor has it that you can dance
to Harry James, in person, then.
Coeds Exhibit
Various Hair
Fashions at UN
With simplicity as their motto,
a hairbrush as a tool and charm
as the goal, "U" coeds have come
out again this semester with hair
do creations anyone could be
really proud of.
Topping the "Hairdo Headline"
list comes a shining bit of loveli
ness entitled the "feather bob."
Worn either short or long, it is
"cut to curl" and after it is
whipped together with pin curls
(in those "wee" hours of the
morn) lends real youthful charm
to a gal s appareance.
As always the ever common
pompadour holds its popularity
position. Worn extremely high
("boys have pockets, girls have
"pomps") or very low it waves
slightly back and a colorful rib
Don is onen seen peering over
the top. The sides, usually shoul
der length, fall in a loose fluffy
mass.
"Upsweeps" still line the cam
pus adding height and sophistica
iion 10 collegiate appearance.
Worn in "Bangs" or "pomps" it
is a great trick if you were too
tired to "do" your hair the night
oeiore. (And aren't we all?"
Remember how tiresome "Pig
tails" became after years of them
in grade school. Well, here we
are again, back to shining braids
tied with bright attractive rib
bons and topped with bangs or
pomps.
A fad of our grandmother's is
back too, in the form of a "bun."
Somewhat resembling a huee
doughnut, they are usually worn
at the nape of the neck and with
a "rat" as their secret evolve
into monstrous sizes and shapes.
A smooth page boy also holds
its place over math and science
books. Lengthy neat and shining,

It seems old man weather has
