The pianist noted, "To me,
the quartet is an integrated
instrument consisting of four
individual soloists, each of
whom is a performer-c o m
poser in his own right."
Cover Story
In November of 1954, his
picture appeared on the cover
of Time magazine. The year
prior to limes cover story,
the quartet won the Down
Beat critic's poll as well as
the reader's polls of Down
Beat and Metronome maga
zines. ,
Jazz fans chose him as the
"Jazz Personality, of the
Year" in 1954 andv1955. The
quartet's 'most recent honor
placed them as the top combo
in the country in the Playboy
poll, largest of its kind. It
was the second straight year
that Brubeck had been so
honored.
Early in 1958, the quartet
played most of Europe and
the Middle East on a four
month tour which took them
behind the Iron Curtain into
Poland and on to Turkey,
India, Pakistan, Ceylon, Af
ghanistan, Iran and Iraq.
The major portion of this
tour was sponsored by the
State Department and
brought the quartet into areas
that had never heard a livp
jazz performance before.
Brubeck has also anoeared
at Carnegie Hall, the New
port Jazz Festival, the Strat-
tora Shakespearean Festival,
Birdland and on such tele
vision shows as Ed Sullivan,
Steve Allen, Omnibus and the
Timex Jazz Shqw.

tet include ' Desmond on the

Drive
Nixed
By A UF
Freedom Fund
Plea Denied
All University Fund board
has voted not to authorize an
organized solicitation on cam
pus for the Freedom Fund.
It was proposed that AUF
either carry on an immediate
emergency solicitation itself
to aid the Negro students in
southern universities or that
AUF authorize the Stident
Christian Council to conduct
a drive.
Aur, as tne only cam
pus organization set up
to solicit students and facul
ty, had to give its permission
before the SCC could plan a
drive.
"We feel it is too late In
the year to plan and con
duct a successful solicitation,"
said AUF president Sue Car
koski. "It would be too difficult to
reach the entire campus in
the few weeks of school left,"
she said. "However, we do en
courage everyone who is in
terested in contributing to the
Freedom Fund set up by the
National Association for the
Advancement of Colored Peo
ple to do so," she added.
They may send their dona
tions to the YWCA office in
the city Union or in the Ag
Student Union.
"Next year AUPwilllnclud
the NAACP's Freedom Fond
as one of the charities listed
in the fall poll," Miss Carkosld
said. "Then the campus will
have an opportunity to vote
for it as a recipient of a por
tion of next year's funds."
lhe Faculty Drive held this
spring netted $833 from 181
contributions, drive chairman
Nancy Raun reported. This
was way over the goal of
$700, she said.
Faculty Drive contributions
bring the total for this year's
AUF drive to over $4,420. N
