The Professor Who Couldn't Say "No"
OR... What to do when you can't afford to flunk
Once there was a Professor who was reluctant to Flunk the Team's Top Muscle-Man . . . a fullback named Printwhistle, of impressive Physical Proportions but intellectually a Lump. The Professor sought a Loophole. "Printwhistle," he said, "I am no pedant who believes that the sole purpose of education is to cram the Mind with Facts. Rather is its aim to broaden the Mind and make it more Productive. If you can come to me within 24 hours with one — just one — original and worthwhile Idea, I shall not Flunk you."
Next morning the evidence was in
Telegrams . . . hundreds of 'em . . . on
the Professor's desk, from practically
everybody on the Campus. All bearing
the same message: "Printwhistle must
not Flunk. Old Blackstrap needs him.
This Approach is his idea."
Did it work? Well, there's a certain All-American named Printwhistle whose voice shakes with grateful Emotion when anyone mentions Western Union in his Presence.
When you want to Swing a Deal . . .
Telegrams work wonders. They're
grade A Date Bait, great for coaxing
cash from home, practical for arranging
anything from a Weekend to a Job
Interview. When you want to get inside
the Opponent's ten-yard line . . . let
Western Union carry the ball.

Patti Page Tops Record Sales With Double-Voiced Renditions
Down Beat-
Patti Page, the best female seller of records, has run the gamut from a hillbilly singer on a Tulsa radio station just a few short years ago to a miss who consistently hits the best-seller lists each time she sings a new song for Mercury records.
While the first few months on shellac she sounded like every gail singer, (usually just like the one who had a hit), she soon found her own style. She made her biggest success, via the aid of tape, on her double-voice renditions of such tunes as Tennessee Waltz and others. For three years she made about $65 weekly until she snagged her first hit. With My Eyes Wide Open I'm Dreaming.
Since then, the singer has seldom sold fewer than 300,000 copies of any record she has made, and, of course, quite a few of her platters have gone past the one million mark.
The hullabalo around music circles these days is on religious-type tunes. They are outselling all the ballads and upbeat songs. Success of I Believe started off the most recent push, followed by Crying in the
Chapel, and now Patti Page has come in with The Lord's Prayer on wax. Most of the big names have one or more numbers of the same type in the process, with some being held back for Christmas release.
With the success of the Decca Mary Martin-Ethel Merman taping from the Ford 50th Anniversary TV show, more of the same type of records is being looked for. However, the material isn't always as great as this duo. Of course, jazz impresarios have been doing this for years.
Stan Kenton will head the "Festival of Modern American jazz" with Errol Garner, June Christy, Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Getz and Slim Gailard. Tour started Nov. 1, and will last a month.
Some of the most famous musicians pooled their talents on a recent record date for Clef Records.
Session included Lionel Hampton, Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown and Buddy Rich in a rhythm section. Front line line was composed of Flip Phillips, Illinois Jacquet, Ben Webster, Johnny Hodges, Dizzy Gillespie, and Roy Eldridge.
