measure consists of a C chord
the notes C, K, and G on the
piano. Tins chord is to the tune
what an engine is to a cai .
Hut just as an inventor adds
to and changes an engine, so the
bop player adds to the chord.
Modem musicians had already
expanded the basic chord to in
clude A and D; bop adds the
llth. or F-sharp. (Technically
this note is th.e filth (('.) flatted.)
1 iecanse these additions make
two tones in the chord halt a

is this peculiar dissonance which
excites and stimulates jazz lis

Kach Player a Composer
Each bop player is a composer
in Ins own right. The piano
player, the drummer and the
ii.ass man work together to make
a background for the soloist. The
-ohm!, then, uses the basic chord
progRssions, but not the melody,
to express Ins own Icchng.
Hop seeks new sounds. It em
phasizes dissonance by putting
it on the top ot ii chord where
it will "shock" the listeners in
slo.tl of biding it in the bass.

Seven tnen students one of
them a scholarship winner ar
under suspension fur cheating in
examinations.
Involved are three seniors, two
juniors, and two sophomores.
The suspensions stem from
these incidents:
On Jan. 21, the mathematics
department reported two sopho
mores had attempted to get
passing gratle by baud. One of
the students, confident of hn
ability to pass the test, agreed
to substitute during the examina
tion for the second student who
feared he couldn't make it. Both
were suspended.
On Jan. 20, three students who
attempted to get examination
questions by stealing waste paper
trom the West Stadium, wera
suspended. Campus police and
janitors caught the trio. Using
a car, the three took two large
l sacks of waste paper from tin
'mimeographing department. Ap
parently the theory was that
amid the waste papers would be
A few trial-run copies of ex
aminations questions.
Exam eliciting.
On Jan. 25, the physics depart
ment reported two students for
examination cheating. One copied
laboratory experiments he never
worked and turned in the copy
for grading. Next, after complet
ing his own examination, be
worked the examination of a
I el low student who feared failure
and who needed the credit lor
.application to the College of
Medicine. Both students were
suspended.
i Three of the seven students
i inv olved are abiding by the de
cision of the suspending ollicer,
Dean T. J. Thompson. The other
lour have appealed to the Faculty
'Senate Committee on Student
Conduct.
I The committee, headed by Dr.
T. H. Gooding of the Agronomy
: department, has heard the ap-
appeals but its decision is still
pending. Other members ol the
j committee are Miss Luvicy M.
Hill, Teachers college; Miss Mar
'jorie W. Johnston, dean of
i women; Dr. C. E. McNeill, pro
Ifcssoi of economics; Card M.
I Duff, professor of engineering
'mechanics, and Dr. James M.
Kemhardt, professor of sociology.
. Suspension Remains.
' A suspension remains on a
student's record until removed
either bv reconsideration on ap
plication" ot the student, or uy
order ot the appeal committee,
i The suspension, of com so,
must be removed belore a stu
dent can re-enter the University.
.Should he elect to transter, tne

on his record and the decision
as to his admission to another
institution is left to that school.
This procedure, however, tells
onlv a part of the story. Fre
