Dick llrown is again fn charge of the h o t o g - ^aphy, and Lay- out Editor is fcvelyn Krince. of smoker dates, this new schedule will remain in effect for a minimum of three years. A list of all rushees receiving bids will be posted on the men’s bulletin board by the mailboxes, and bids may be picked up in the Cf)urt be- tween 1:00-1:30 on February 12, 1959. The silence period will last until 6:00 on February 16, 1959, when rushees will signify their ac- ceptance by attending the dinner at the house of their choice. In conjunction with rushing sea- son a number of fraternities hold dances to which freshmen are cor- dially invited. IFC President. Maurie Kring, stated that. “We feel that a shorter rushing season will benefit both the freshmen and fraternity men scho- lastically because it will leave them about a month to complete term leports and prepare for finals.” SUB Events Are Planned The Student Union ('ommittee has planned a full program of tournaments, contests, coffee hours and movies for Winter term activity. The tirst of the activities are the chess and ping-pong tournaments. Persons interested are to sign uj) immediately in Mr. Olson’s office in the Student Union liuilding. The games will be played in .fanuary at times suitable for the participants. Entries for the annual photog- raphy contest are to l>e submitted the week of .lanuary 26 and will be on display in the Main Lounge of the Student Union building the second week in February, A stu- dent coffee hour will be held on February 13, at 3:30 p.m., and at that time the judging will take place. The featured event of March will be the National Intercollegiate Bridge Tournament. These games also will be registered in Mr. Olson’s office and played at a convenient time for the participants. Student Union movies will be on Friday, February 6; Sunday, March 1, and all final week. For a future check on dates and coming events get a SUB calendar now available in the SUB and the Great Court. New Housing Units Prepared for February Freshman Occupancy Hy Tony StewaH This year, students at Drexel have witnessed changes in housing facilities. It is the intention of this ai'ticle to review the progress made from an informative standpoint only—and to elaborate on present conditions. One of the more notable developments this year has been the disappearance of the "Ncn-mandy Hotel” from the list of Drexel-Approved Residences. In its place is found a privately owned residence located at 35 N. 34th St.. which is capable of housing ninety men. As of this minute, there are vacancies in this abode; but these are expected to be filled w’ith the arrival of the P'ebruary freshmen. It might be well to add that four counselors have been appointed to help when needed, in an advisory capacity, with any difficulties that may arise concerning the residents of this house. The administration at Drexel is , proceeding with its original inten- tions pertaining to the location and development of a. dormitory and other housing facilities on campus. More will be said about this at a later date. An up-to-date list of apartments for the convenience of married stu- dents is kept in the Housing Office. While it is true that there is ade- (luate housing available through private homes and fraternities, a tendency to live in apartments has been displayed by many individuals. This is, in no sense of the word, a desirable situation so far as Drexel’s administration is concerned; and if one stops and thinks about it for a moment, he can readily see why such a conclusion is reached. All houses supply a change of towels and bed linen each week and most houses furnish blankets. These houses also have the use of the physician at Drexel. I’ix bv Brown Pi.v bv Hr own Inside View °1 one of the rooms in the newly acquired group of buildings to replace the facilities at the Normandy Hotel. Typical accommodations arc for one or two men per room. Campus Hall, the group of buildings now in use as dormitory facilities for men. The group of three double houses and one single house will eventually hold some 90 men. N.S.A. Initiates New Speaker ^rogram for School Groups Available to every organization on cami)us will be a list of faculty speakers willing to speak at meet- ings on any conceivable topic. There are several reasons why every organization should call upon our faculty to speak at their func- tions. Out of close to a hundred faculty members volunteering their services, a wide variety of subjects are available for speeches and dis- cussion groups. It is hoped that student-faculty relations will l>e vastly improved within the course of the school years if each organ- ization will cooperate in calling upon our own educators to continue their role beyond the classroom. New Cut System Installed 3y Dean of Men^s O ff ce Hy Kirk Kiinunel Bob Brennan As a result of action taken by the Dean of Men’s oMce the cut ex- cuse system has 1,'cen revised. In essence, the change is that the first absence a student has must be taken as a cut. Thereafter, medical ex- cuses may be obtained for any jus- tified absences. This move was taken by the ad- ministration in view of the fact that out of some 2500 excuses issued a term, over one-half were the only absence the student had in that term. It is hoped that under the new plan the Dispensary and the Dean of M e n ’s office will not be l)ogged down by excuses but will l)e al)le to perform more efficiently. (iood or Itad? On the surface this appears to be very disadvantageous to the student, reducing his number of cuts each course by one. On closer Inspection, however, many benellts are to be gained by the student as was brought out by Dean Toombs in a recent meeting of M e n ’s Student Council. The most significant advantage is that the plan necessitates recog- nition on the part of instructors of the cut system, many of whom had previously forbid any cutting. Stii(l<>nt.s Di.s.satisdfd It might be noted here that MSC had realized that many students are dissatisfied with the present cut system. This awareness resulted in a poll last spring term to deter- mine the exact feelings of the stu- dent body. Out of approximately 1000 questi(mnaires distributed there were 75 answers. With the lack of support shown, Council was forced to drop the issue. A more detailed analysis of Drex- el’s cut system as compared to other colleges will be forthcoming In this publication. This idea is not original. It is one of many benellts which Drexel has received through active mem- bership in the United States Na- tional Student Association. By en- abling ourselves to stay abreast of students’ affairs and activities in colleges and universities through- out the country, Drexel has inno- vated ideas which were previously foreign to its campus. One of the first people to respond to a questionnaire circulated throughout the faculty and admin- istration was President Creese. Dr. Creese will be available for several speaking engagements during the remainder of the school year and in response to the question, “What topics can you speak about?” Dr. Creese replied, “You name it.” This in itself is an opportunity for many organizations on our campus to benefit. Every organization can have a speaker at each of their meetings if they wish to enrich their pro- grams. and if it is their purpose to enlighten and encourage their mem- bership. Sigma Pi To Hold 10th Starlight Ball Sigma Pi, again this year, will break all precedent with their tenth annual Starlight Ball. This year’s ball promises to be the biggest and best ever sponsored by the Brothers of Sigma Pi. Music will be provided l>y “Mr. Trombone,” Buddy Morrow, and his orchestra. Morrow’s very danceable music will include his all-time greats such as “Night Train” and “One Mint .Julep.” Featured with Mor- row will be his I’egular vocalist, Jane Taylor. In addition to the tine music, the liall will l)e held in the main ball- room of one of Philadelphia’s fore- most hotels, the Benjamin Frank- lin, on .January 24, from 9 ’til 1. These features, combined with the fact that the ball is semi-formal requiring no tuxedoes, gowns, or flowers, makes the $4.50 ticket price quite reasonable for the evening of listening and dancing. Tickets may be purchased from any Sigma Pi brother for $4.50 un- til Friday, .January 23. Ticket price at the door will be $5.00 per couple. Fix by Frank Institute of Technology’s Library and nCuliny v o i l i p i c l l u n School of Library Science shapes up into a Bne-looking addition to our campus. Marble sidings are at present being fitted to the four sides. The date of completion stands at some time prior to the beginning of next Fall term and students are looking forward to spending many hours on concentrated study in the modern structure.

    Have you ever wondered about tiie exci tement and in t r igue of the people and a tm osphere of those small "Off-Hroadway” Theatres? When someone taika about going to a small the a t re in New York and then re t ir ing to a small sophis ti cated bar to discuss the merits of what they iuive seen, there is somewhat of t’l feeling tha t here is a person and activ ity tha t is a l i tt le un- ustuil and most l ikely (luite exciting.

    N’ow, you w on’t iiave to make a long and expensive t r ip to New York to enjoy th is eli te and sophis t icated a tmosphere. On .January 12 the brand new Foity -Third Street T h ea tre opened ita production of (J rabam (Jreene’s searciiing drama. "The i’ott ing Shed .” This play which is performed l>y the ent ire New York cast of the Chapel Players, an ac to rs ’ equi ty group, is under the direction of Rill 1‘enn, the Chapel players director, and fea tures Maud Scheer and Joiin S traub in tiie principal roles.

    P ro d u c t ion ScIhmIiiIoAfter a two-week run of the “ Pot

    t ing Shed,” the schedule of productions for the tl iea tre will include “Volpone” on Feb. 4; Sean O'Casey’s “ Purp le Dus^” on Feb. 2.5; and The New York Shakespeare F’estival

    Produc tion of "Two (Jentlemen of Verona” on March 8th.

    The thea t re has been crea t ing qui te a s t ir am ong civic-minded I’hi ladelphiaua lately because of its endeavors to broaden and deepen tlie cul tu ra l aspect of the thea t re in I’hiladelphia. Most recent of its steps in tills direction is i ts associa tion with the IMiiladelphia Dance Academy and its appointm ent of Nadia (’lii lkovsky as re s ident chore- ograplier and Uoni Arnold aa resi dent principal dancer for the Thea tre. All fu ture events sclieduled by the Philadeljil iia Dance Academy will take place a t the Forty-Third Street Tlieatre, located a t Ilird and \ \ a in u t Streets. Thia association has been formed in o rder to bring to an ev'en wider Ph i ladelphia a u dience world - renowned choreog- laphers . A program of Sunday matinee performances has been scheduled.

    As college s tudents and fu ture leaders, we all must endeavor to round our charac te r in all phases of life. In the Forty-Third Street Thea tre there is delinitely an opportun i ty for eacli s tudent to pursue a cultura l awakening, and also find excitement and enjoyment in the New York manner.

    By Howio

    The study of jazz and its fu ture may tu rn out to be of unexpected importance. For the growth and spread of jazz Il lust ra tes a key phenomenon in our civil izat ion: the process of cross-culturatlon. In th is case, it consists of the cross-influences of European and W est African music upon each o ther and jazz evolved. If we establish the over-all pat tern of this process by a s tudy of jazz—one of the few likely sub jects—we can bet te r unders tand how various cu ltu res influence each other, how our own society develops, and how the American cha rac te r is formed.

    As time passes, jazz will cont inue to absorb, adapt, and r e create a varie ty of charac te r i s t ics from the music of the world. This has been the pa t te rn of the past. Jazz takes whatever comes to hand and stamps it w ith a beat. Yet a t tem pts by other tr ad i t ions to ab sorb jazz—although th is may be less t rue as t ime goes on—have failed to a great extent.

    From the beginning, a mixing and merging has been going on without as yet producing a work of a r t — according to E uropean standards. According to most critics,

    “ It is what men bring with them in the way of

    character and aclaptabihty and fresh ideas that

    enriches the organizational bloodstream and

    insures corporate longevity.” 'I’his is the ob-

    scrxation of Crawford II. Greenewalt, President of the D uP on t Company.

    In a lecture given in the past year at Columbia

    Uni\ersity, Mr. Greenewalt outlined his views on the role of the indix idual in the organization.

    “The D uPont Company’s success over the last 1 ^0 years,” he pointed out, “has come about in

    large part through de\otcd allegiance to two major themes . , .

    “First, the realization that an enterprise w'ill succeed only to the extent that all individuals associated with it can be encouraged to exercise their highest talents in their own particular way.

    “Second, the provision of maximum incentives

    for achievem ent, particularly in associating

    the fortunes of the indix idual to that of the corporation.

    “Men are not interchangeable parts, like pinion gears or carburetors. Indi\iduals difTer in ap

    proach and method, and, to perform to best ad\antage, they must ne\er be fettered to approaches and methods not their own.”

    “Conformity” obviously takes a back seat here. As Mr. Greenewalt comments, “\\i> conform as

    is necessary to good manners, good relationships

    and the highest use of individual talent. And bear in mind that these are strictures on be- ha\ ior, not on creative thought.”

    If )ou find this kind of atmosphere challenging

    (leorge ( Je rshw in’s “ Rhapsody in Rlue” was n e i the r jazz nor classical music, a l though it borrowed s l igh t ly from both. Igor S t r a v in sk y ’s “Ebony Concerto” composed for Woody H e r m a n ’s band, was a class ical compos it ion which had li t t le to do with jazz.

    Some have sa id t h a t Rober t Graet- t i n g e r ’s “City of Glass,” recorded by S tan Kenton, employed the most modern concepts, b u t was no t jazz. And then finally Rolf L iebe rm ann’s “Concerto for Jazz B and and Symphony O rchest ra ,” played by the Sau te r -F innegan band and the Chicago S ym phony Orches tra, allowed no im provisa tion , but i t m a y point the way to fu tu re success: a nucleus of jazzmen im prov is ing w’ith in an orchestra.

    The sym phonym en , of course, m u s t k now enough jazz not to in te r fe re w i th the improvisation, and they could even help produce the proper background.

    Even th ou gh th is may no t be considered th e t r u e jazz of today by many, the fu tu re m ay tel l another story, and these modern concepts may be j u s t an o th e r phase in the development of th i s t h in g called jazz.

    This is the first of a series o f articles written by Drexel's coaches in order to introduce themselves and relate their viewpoints to the student body. This week's article by D lT ’s Sam Cozeti.

    After coaching baske tba l l a t Drexel for th e pas t six seasons , and being fo r tu n a t e in hav ing te am s t h a t have won a la rge s h a re of the games , 1 am stil l d is tu rbed som ew h a t a t a lack of aw aren ess of th e exis tence of basketl)all by some of the s tu d en t body. The ad m in is t ra t ion of the In s t i tu te has seen fit to al loca te money for the sport . Drexel is a meml)er of th e Middle Atlantic Confe rence and Ills com m itm en ts to play o the r Conference teams. Our court , a l tho ug h removed from the ;?2nd St. area , is looked upon as one of the best in the a re a ; and the teams have c on t r ib u ted th e i r share of ins til l ing sp i ri t am on g th e s tud en t body.

    Psychologists tell us th a t it is norm al and hea l thy to “ g r ipe .” So, with support from meml)ers of t h a t science, I have a few “ grii)es” to get off my chest. T h e re was an inc iden t a s h o r t while ago in which a few m em bers of t h e te am who a re in f r a te rn i t i e s , had to miss l)asketball prac t ice because of “ i m p o r t a n t ” f r a te rn i ty meetings or dinners . This, of course, involves a quest ion of divided loyalties— does the f r a te rn i ty come first, or th e school? Under the c i rcumstances . I should th in k th e f r a te rn i t i e s would realize th a t practice is vi ta l if a team rep resen ta t iv e of Drexel is to ta k e the floor. Our prac t ice sess ions a re too few, and th e time (r):;{0 to 7::iO) and place (5Sth and W a ln u t Sts.) a re som etimes difficult enough for players.

    Ano the r sub jec t th a t has caused me to be cri t ical is t h a t of managers . The position of m an ager shou ld be a coveted one. .\11 the o th e r col leges and univers it ies have f r a te rn i t i e s t h a t en- ci)urage th e i r members to try out for the j o b - it m eans som eth ing . At Drexel, we fr equently mus t “ d r a f t ” or beg a boy to do th e joi). Managing is an in tegra l p a r t of the team effort. It is service in the t r u e spirit . I t would ap p e a r t h a t the f r a te rn i t i e s would be util izing th e i r position of leadersh ip by en co u rag in g members to try for th is job. Incidenta l ly , for the first m on th of i)asketball practice, th e re was no m a nag e r , and I assu m ed the duties.

    H n a l ly , any coach likes to have as many boys as can come ou t to r a team. For an ins ti tu t ion th e size of Drexel to have 1(5 candida tes for basketball sounds unlikely , and yet, t h a t is the case. For the boys who do come out for basket 'ball , I have the fondes t ad m ira t ion and respect.

    Natu ra l ly , I recognize the ever-presen t c i rcumstances . An url)an in s t i tu t ion does not have the cap tive audience t h a t a cam pus school has. A t tendance at games is not as g rea t because of studies . Hut, a f t e r all. the reason for any s p o r t— or anv cam pus act iv i ty— is t h a t it oontril )utes in its way to t h a t qualit'v we call SPIR IT . T he existence and success of o th e r non-a th le t ic ac tivities a t Drexel m e ans t h a t som eth ing w orth w'hlle Is being oftered and Is being uceei)ted by the s tuden ts . I would like to th ink th a t basketball Is In th e sam e ca tegory . Your p layers a re your friends. They a re In te res ted in f u r th e r in g the Drexel sp i ri t All they ask is your suppor t.
