McCann Trio Unfolds Promises; Senate Vetoes Basie The Les McCann Trio's "concert 'in chitterlings" was a pure delight. For their first performance before the col- lege set, the Trio had the appeal for what appeared to be an appreciative audience. ?,?? We must admit at this point that the SGA Entertain- ment Series is unfolding to be what it promised earlier in the fall. The Committee on Entertainment has done an out- standing iob in bringing quality and a variety of entertain- ment to campus this year. Coming soon are the Detroit Sym- phony Orchestra and Ferante and Teischar. We regret, however, the pre-holday decision of the Senate to decline to underwrite Count Basie for a concert this month. Basie while on a trip south, offered to play here at reduced rates. Proceeds from the concert were to be donated to the new stadium. Since the first decision against the concert, Basie of- fered to lower his rates even more, remembering his won- derful reception at EC this past summer. This time the executive committee, meeting before another Senate meeting was scheduled, voted down the concert. Although Basie appeared at the annual Greek weekend last Spring, the student body as a whole has not been given the opportunity to hear him. Cocky Subversives Threaten America's Foremost Heritage An interesting trial has been set for February 1. The Justice Department has issued an indictment against the Communist Party for failure to register November 20, as an agent of a foreign power. Party leaders were to register by November 30 and all party members by December 20. Not one registration was received. What happens now? In every instance the situation will be explosive. Each person must first be accused of party membership before the Subversive Activities Control Board. The Board then orders immediate registration with the order subject to review by the courts. Conviction could mean a $10,000 fine and a five year prison sentence to each individual for every day of violation. The party itself could be fined $10,000 for each day past the deadline. According to the FBI an estimated 10,000 faithful party members are in the US and failed to adhere to the ruling. The gotvernment has the authorization to move against these members and attempt to convict them. Court action taken against the party may determine to a great extent what the result in individual trials will be. Is it that the party has become so cocky that they feel the US Government no longer is strong enough to curtail their activities? Have we Americans become lax in our at- titude? Statements such as "Better Red then dead" have been floating around for months. At first it was a joke, but the comedy ceases to amuse. William I. Nichols, Editor of "This Week Magazine' recently objected to use of the phrase. His answer "Better brave than slave He feels these words offer hope for free men who still find there are "things in life worth fighting for even dying for Do free men have a choice? Must it be "Red" or "dead"? For certain the Communists will take advantage of every opportunity we offer them. Bravery still exists today. Ten million have been brave enough to escape from behind barricades and walls set ut by the Communists. These were no doubt well built, heavily fortfied walls, but freedom and the brave cannot be ea3iiv overthrown. We cannot give up. Winston Churchill had faith in the future, "What is the use of living, if it be not to strive for noble causes and to make this muddled world a better place for those who will live in it after we are gone?
