Be-bop Finds Defenders And Critics; Dorsey Simply Says It 'Stinks'
New York—(U.R)—The defenders and detractors of be-bop music use strong words in defending their respective stands. Moderation has little place in the battle.
Band leader Tommy Dorsey, for example, says simply that "be-bop stinks."
Leonard Feather, a music commentator for radio station WMGM, and Benny Goodman recently ran a letter contest on the subject and here are some of the comments:
"Occupational therapy for paran-
noids," clinker from afar.
"Clinker, clinker from afar How I hate oo-pa-ua-da."
"All hail to the Gillespies, John Birks;
Birds They look like men but sound like
"Of the be-bop I have heard, only 10 per cent can be classed as new and interesting. The remaining 90 per cent is stale repetitive stuff and a very poor substitute for real good inzz."
"Be-bop is the brainchild of the sales department of the headache powder companies."
"Be - bop: emotional earthsires irred for sound."
fired for sound.
"A cracked record of 'Sing, Sing,
Sing' played with full volume using
a half-worn needle."
"An effort to play harmonious music without harmony."
The defenders are just as expressive, as witness:
"Man, be-hop is the inevitable. It's a combination of relaxed coolness and crazy franny... Dizzy Gillespie's horn drives me into another universe."
"I like be-bop because it is music composed with real gone madness. I think be-bop is real crazy."
"To me, be-bop is the greatest thing since motion pictures."
"In years to come (when I get married) I might even call my first child 'Be-bop'."
"I thing be-bop is the highest level of music attained by man so far. When be-bop is presented with an air of creativeness instead of noise, there is something fine and thoughtful, perhaps like the world of stars or the blending of soft colors in a sunset."
Harry Thomas of New London, Conn. won first prize for the best
"A sensation which makes me turn over out"
letter. He gave a rather technical explanation of be-bop and showed a restrained enthusiasm for it. Be-bop, he wrote in part is a "logical extension of the harmony formerly found in jazz."
Sam Goldberg, of Brooklyn,
whose letter won second prize, said that he had tried to stir up an enthusiasm for be-bop because he was interested in a girl who "talked be-bop, ate and drank the stuff, too."

Revolutions Out Of Style In Costa Rica These Days
Costa Rica will be the "land of revolutions" no longer, according to Bautista Murillo, College sophomore from Cartago, Costa, Rica.
Tista, as his friends call him, has been a business major in the University since June, 1946. He has been home only once since his enrollment here, and that after the people's revolution last June.
when asked about trouble in Costa Rica, Tista took pains to explain in detail the situation, which he feels has been wrongly interpreted in most accounts.
When asked about the recent®
The Samoa-led revolt collapsed when the Costa Ricans called or the Pan-American conference for
In January, 1948, the people elected a democratic president, but those in power declared the election invalid, so the people, led by Figueres, a wealthy landowner, revolted and in June took over the government.
"The new leaders helped all the people and even disbanded the army to get money for social reforms," the Costa Rican said. "When the outsiued leaders, one of who was a Communist, heard this, they got Samza from Nicaragua to help them invade my country. This was the 'revolt' that was smeared in the news in December," he said.
"The revolts last year were an outgrowth of eight years of oppressive rule by bad presidents. The government was not concerned with the farmers and laborers, only businessmen," he said.
help. Since that time there has been no trouble.
"Next month, the new democratic president will take office and serve until the election in 1980, when he will be replaced since Costa Rican presidents cannot succeed themselves in office," Tista said. "If there is any trouble in my country soon, it will be because it is being invaded and not because the people are revolting. They like their present leaders."
Tista said the Costa Rican government is much like that of the United States. The two main parties, Democratic and Republican, are much like their counterparts here. The Communist party, however, was outlawed in Costa Rica last year.
Tista, who takes an active part in the International club and likes to go on tour in her own country, talks on returning Costa Bela to help in its modernization.
"My country is like most other South American countries. There is a great need for liberal-minded leaders who will help in planning for the good of the people." Tista concluded.
Some Moths Rival Tropical Butterfly In Beauty, Dr. Charles Michener Finds
Mr. Johnson is now a businessman in Griffin, Ga. Johnson county. Kan., was named after his grandfather, who, he believes, was one of the first white men to come to Kansas.
On the Pacific coast the coastline of the U.S. is 1,366 miles; on the Atlantic the distance is 1,888 miles.
Moths are generally shunned. But Frank Johnson, former Lawrence resident, was so attracted by a group of them clustered about an electric light that he provided a $1500 yearly endowment fund to have Dr. Charles Michener, associate professor of entomology, make a study of them.
Dr. Michener was asked to do further research on the new species of moth. His findings will be published in his book, "The Saturnid Moths of the Western Hemisphere" to be in print within the year.
Dr. Michener said that Mr. Johnson, while visiting in Colombia, South Patented some unusually
DR. Michelle said that Mr. Sullivan America, noticed some unusually colored moths flying around a lit bulb. Investigation revealed that scientifically, the insects are called curried moths. Departing from the custom drab colors of their kind, however, these were characterized by attractive yellow-to-brown hues and rivaled the tropical butterfly in beauty.
The method used in dressing a man in armor is shown in the above scene from the film, "Henry V," scheduled to be shown today and tomorrow at the Patee theater. The motion picture is being shown again in Lawrence for the benefit of University students studying William Shakespeare's writings. The University department of English requested a return engagement of the film.
