By BILLY ARNOLD 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- Dr. Bradner has announced a ten- tative schedule for the speakers dur- ing their stay on campus.

BRADNER supervising Religious Emphasis Week. Geogapfiy Department Has Scheduled Several Speakers certs under the title, "Jazz Goes To College and found immediate re- sponse from all over the country. Since that time, Brubeck has been pictured on the cover of Time maga- zine, has made appearances on the Ed Sullivan and other TV shows, has performed in all the top jazz spots from Storyville to Birdland to Basin Street, and is generally regarded as the leading exponent of progressive jazz in the world today.

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. Maloney, PAS, is shown congratulating Captains Jean M. Cra ne and George B.

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. Women's Dormitory Scenes Show Holiday Spirit In Action The Christmas decorations in the girls' dormitories reflect the high spirits for the awaiting holiday. In Ragsdale, Lindy Le ch, pat Batten, Nancy Rawls, Sadie Barber, Betty Jean Dunn, Kitty Thurmond, Patsy Maynord, and Frances Winn decorated the parlor with a co'orful Christmas tree. The front door was decorated y Margaret Raskin to represent a large package with a hand painted Christmas card wishing a Merry Christmas to all. A prize for decorations for dorm doors was given to Mattie Lou Har- ris or a religious scene; Betty Lou Marshbum and Carolyn Braswell, original; and Lillian Hofler and Peggy Barbour, home-like scene. Honorable men ion for another religious scene was to Salky Codden and Ann Dren- non. A Christmas tree surrounded by stuffed animals was placed in Jarvis by Virginia Jones, Peggy Davis, Shir- ley Naves, Carlene Scott, Sandra Bethtune, Mary Hall, Rose White, and Betty Ann Burnham. Two large wreaths and a ceiling- hiuh Christmas tree were made and decora ed by Charlotte Strick, Ann Ship. Sue Randolph, Shirley Galla- more, Gwen McClamrock, Peggy Savage, Sandra Bunn, Barbara Crotts, Susan Dickman, and Ann Speller. Sil- ver enter pieces on the end-tables were also made by the committee. Elizabeth Roberts, general chair- man; Ethel Maxwell, Dotty Widley, Miriam Barns, and Betty Lee wete responsible for the Christmas tree decorations in Wilson. Fleming was also decorated with a Christmas tree and other Yule tide decorations. The committee names were not available.

A faculty member here since 1964, Mr. Hickfang is a Texan who re- ceived his music education at the I Universities of Texas and Michigan and at the State Academy of Music in Munich, Germany, which he attended as a Fulbright Scholar from 1955 to 1957.
