The Dave Brubeck quartet, com-
. osed of Brubeck on piano, Paul Des-
mond on alto sax, Bob Bates on bass,
and Joe Dodge on drums, is the cool-
est of the cool jazz set. It will appear
at here, Feb. 5.
Within a space of some three or four
years, Brubeck and progressive jazz!
have oecome synonymous. The quar-
tet's special brand of music is a weird
weaving together of classical con-
cepts and the rhythm and mood of
jazz.
Brubeck, say some of the experts
on the matter, came along a few years
ago and put jazz on the level of the
intellectual. His music, though bas-
ically jazz, is shot through with "long-
hair" or serious concepts. But it is
good jazz.
An artist, Brubeck improvises while
playing, seeking to create at each new
session. His work is never set down
on paper or already worked out ahead
uf performance time, except for the
beginnings. Sometimes, the four will
decide upon a beginning, sometimes an
ending, and leave the rest to their
artistic natures.
Many colorful stories have been
circulated about the quartet, about
Brubeck, about how the four'came to-
ge.her to produce the foremost pro-
gressive jazz outfit in the country
today. The most popular tells of how
four raw college boys with the same
ideas on jazz came together and ar-
ranged to perform in several colleges
in the midwest. From there, their suc-
cess carried them to more and more
collegiate performances.
A big record company heard of the
new sensation being created by Bru-
beck, Desmond, Bates and Dodge and
signed them to a contract. The com-
j any released some disks made from
tape-recordings of the college con-

Gilley On Way Up
-Hit Song Writer
By ANN SPEARS
Another young North Carolinian
has joined the ranks of successful I
song writers to come from this state.
He is Oscar Gilley of Leaksville, North
Carolina, a senior here at East Caro-
lina who wrote both the lyrits and
music of th? song "My Wonderful
Lover" which is sung by the Storm
Trio on the Jubilee label, and by Do-
lores Hawkins, on the Epic label.
This new record, his first, promises
to rise among the top hit tunes in the
nation! This is also a "first" for the
torm Trio, a new group from the Bos-
ton area, who have signed a contract
with Jubilee records on the basis of
this one record.
Abou five weeks ago ft record was
released by Jubilee and Epic records.
At that time both renditions of the
song were picked "Sleeper of the
Week" on "Cash Box On June 18,
Jubilee records listed "My Wonderful.
Lover" high on their advertising list
in "Billboard Also, "Variety" gave
them a very good write-up.
Oscar, who surprisingly enough is
not a Music Major, but a Social
Studies Major and English minor
has had some piano and voice lessons
and has always been interested in
music. However, he had never writ-
ten a song until "My Wonderful Lov-
er" which he wrote four years g-
Since then he has been trying to
get the song published. His big break
came about 18 months ago when the
machinery for getting a song pub-
lished was set in motion. This past
summer Oscar signed contracts on
the song. Then it was released a few
weeks ago. It is already among the
top 40 tunes being played in the
Boston area according to many of
the dee-jays around tre.

Art Department
Fixes Decorations
The Department of Art at the col-
lege is really celebrating Christmas
this year in grand style. Students in
the various classes have made decora-
tions under the supervision of Mr.
and Mrs Persick and Mr. Neel.
Probably everyone who eats in the
cafeteria will have noticed by now
the splendid decorations hanging from
the ceiling and some of the table de-
corations. These gay ornaments are
fee products of the class in Art in
the Elementary School with Neel as
instruc or. The familiar theme of the
mobile has literally taken a new twist
in these decorations.
On the second floor of Austin
students of. Mrs. Persick in a section
of the same class have constructed
magnificent paper sculptured figures
uf the nativity scene. One would
hardly recognize the fact that the
paper came from the freight yard
where it was used to line box cars.
Together with this display is a con-
structed "Christmas Tree the brain
child of Mr. Persick. This is a con-
temporary version of a traditional
theme, but done in such a way tihat
none of the old flavor is lot while
still adding a. bit that is new.

Christmas card wishing a Merry
Christmas to all.
A prize for decorations for dorm
doors was given to Mattie Lou Har-

Barbour, home-like scene. Honorable
men ion for another religious scene

Mermen Get First Win;
Sawyer, Midgette Cop
Leading Honors
East Carolina mermen swam to
their first victory of the season last
Saturday by downing William and
Mary of the Southern Conference
56-28 at the latters Pool.
Paced by Ail-American candidate,
Bob Sawyer, the Bucs won their
first victory of the season. The de-
fending NAIA champions lost their
opening meet last week to nationally-
ranked Carolina.
Sawyer, the defending NAIA back-
stroke chanrpion and one of the best
in the nation, beat his own records
in easing past the Indian backstrokers.
The quiet-spoken junior also was a
ti.ndoUt in the 400 yard Medley Re-
lay won by the Pirates.
Tommy Carroll, a freshman, cap-
tured first place in the 220 yd. free-
style, Sidney Oiiver had a first in
the 200 yard breaststToke, Mike Wil-
iamson was first in the 440 freestyle,
and Ken Midygette took top honors
in the diving events.
The Bucs won both relays with
Juck Kocbberling, Teddy Gartman,
and Williamson aiding Sawyer in the
Medley Relay. Forbes, Gilco, Dyer,
and Connelly, a freshman-studded
combination, won the free style relay.
Tommy Tucker, another freshman,
placed second for ECC in the 50 and
100 yard freestyle?. Sidney Oliver
drew a second in the butterfly, and
Jack Koebberling did the same in
the breaststroke.
Jack MdCann had two thirds for
ECC along with Carroll, Dyer, and
Teddy Gartman.
The club still looked weak in spots,
but showed improvement and is ex-
pected to rate along with last seasons
championship club before the season's
over.
East Carolina's next meet will be
with Virginia Military there. The
Bucs are still having trouble finding
a schedule and the slate is small
right now.
Ike Riddick. sophomore (ireenville native, has been one of ECC's
mainstays thus far as the Pirates have cruised to a 5-1 record.
