After the Ball . . .
Penny for your thoughts!
Since our mind is an absolute blank, the above opening
exclamation ia a fine noncommittal way of proceeding to
fill a. two-column, five-inch hole oa page two.
However,, we spent an extremely pleasant evening at
the Mortar Board BalL That old saying about tooting your
own horn comes into play!
Spivak was marvelous. That you'll have to admit. The
question of his eligibility as a bachelor has arisen from vari
ous sources, and we 11 have to admit that he isn't at all
"eligible," being definitely a married man, but we had fun
and "I did to," quote Charlie.
Scene backstage: Trying to arrange eight tuxedo-clad
eligible bachelors behind two black cats, and persuading
them to remain there for even ten seconds, most assuredly
comes under the classification of "Things You Don't Do
More Than Once," if you're smart.
Romantic couples surrendering themselves to the pho
tographers reminded us somewhat of so many cattle being
herded to the auction block. Just wait 'til you get those
lovely pictures next week. Then you'll see what we mean!
A word in passing concerning corsages: They were
weren't theyf '
This atrocity wouldn't be complete without one final
tribute: To all you lovely people who bought tickets to the
ball. We feel safe in saying that at least you saved fifteen
senior women from scrubbing floor and digging ditches, and
any one of a number of menial tasks in order to pay off
the university, the orchestra, et al. Now, aren't you sorry'

When the Mortar Boards on the
Indiana University campus sold
all of the 600 tickets to their
dance in five hours Monday, they
caught themselves off guard. Sev
eral of the Mortar Boards are
wondering how THEY will get
tickets to the dance.
The emergency cafeteria in
Crswder Hall oa the University
of Missouri camps has not yet
beta equipped with knives. Din
ers there repert that spoons do a
pretty good job of cutting a steak
and pork chops, though. The
knives were ordered at the be
ginning of the school year, and
have not arrived as yet.

By Steve Swart
Latest release by RCA Victor
provided four terrific records, one
by Spivak, one by Herbie Fields,
and two by Tex Beneke and the
Miller orchestra. The recording
by Spivak was by far the most
surprising and for Charle and his
crew the most outstanding he has
yet made. Surprisingly enough
both, of the sides by the sweetest
trumpet in the world are anything
but the sweet stuff we are used
to hearing, but are strictly jump.
"Stomping Room Only" is the
title of Spivak's first attempt in
which the trombones carry the
theme for the major part of the
work, but are occasionally given a
helping hand by the sax section.
The work is done by the entire
band is in itself noteworthy since
the background, the theme, and
the solos show a very well integ
grated arrangement.
Spivak Solos.
The reverse side finds Spivak
soloing on "Let's Go Home" and
not in his usual shmaltzie manner
but rather on a Dizzie kick (which
does nat infer that Gillespie
should lose any sleep over this
waxing). There are also fine goes
by tenor sax and clarinet. In many
places this disc sounds similar to
a Lcs Brown opus.
Eeneke's first record is of
"Uncle Remus Said" and is very
typical of the Beneke ork. The
vocal is taken by Tex and the
Mell-o-Larks, who incidentally
do a very fine job on this rune
from Walt Disney's "Song of the
South." The band turns to a
ballad on the companion side and
Artie Malvin vocalizes in his own
smooth and mellow style on "Any
body's Love Song." The platter
begins with a typical Miller intro
and is a very danreable and en
joyable number from start to fin
ish. Spotlights.
"Falling Leaves" is the, name of
the other waxing by the Beneke
band and spotlights, not only the
string section, but also the sax
harmony used so successfully by
Glenn Miller. The melody is
hauntingly beautiful and the solo
taken by Tex at a slow tempo is
great. "Stardust" is given the
most beautiful treatment yet heard
on record, storting out with the
strings and muted trams, and fi
nally working in the French
horns,, this rue is given the slow
and dreamy treatment which it
deserves.
Herbie Fields follows up his
great hit "Jealousie" with his own
composition entitled "Blue Fields".
The introduction is the most
unique to date, featuring the bass,
viles, guitar, and drums. Herbie's
clarinet is at its best and the
trombone work is equally good.
Theiflip over is a fine arrange
ment of "Huggin' and Chalk in" "
in which Fields takes the vocal
and handles it ably. Again his
clarinet work takes the spotlight
and is certainly worthy of mention.
