New Downbeat Descends On Hill With Arrival Of Six Dance Bands
Three cheers and a trumpet fanfare!
The trumpets, without mutes, announce the arrival of a half dozen or so new "Hill" dance bands, complete with vocalists and floor shows. The pre-war days of Bachmann and Pope and the war days of Cousins and his V-12's are only dim memories.
A new downbeat has descended!
When Danny Bachmann and his trombone left the campus for the service, Charlie Kassinger took over. When Charles left for the AAF juke boxes took over. In May, 1945, Don Cousins organized a V-12 band, which played for midweeks and University parties. Other campus functions called on Charlie Steepen and his high school dance band.
Last year, with the V-12's disbanded, Johnny Beach got together a group which played its way into many organized house parties. Lynn Craig and his Skyliners played for summer session midweeks. Steeper's hand became the Serenaders.
When the lights in the social world came on again this fall, the biggest question on the campus was whether to buy a new supply of dance records, to import a band from Kansas City, or hope for some student dance bands.
"Easy life," onlookers murmured when they watched the "guys" pound the 88 or slip the slide at a dance. But it's not such an easy life—playing for a living.
When social chairmen began to look for bands, they found plenty on the campus, but the task of fitting parties into band engagements was not so simple. The bands were booked weeks in advance.
These "guys" give up a lot. They miss out on their own social life; they lose their girls to fellows who have time for weekend dates. They spend every weekend and sometimes week nights, too, just for the sake of their band and Petrillo. They neglect studies for practices and union meetings.
Most of the band members are veterans, ranging from fine arts stuarts students to journalism and business students, from engineers to lawyers. Many of the men now playing in bands have had bands of their own; many have played professionally with name bands; some have led or served in service bands
The bands come in assorted and varying sizes. Among the larger are Bob Douglas, Chandler, Kas- Dixon, Jon Steeper, Eddie Dix, and Jimmy Holfive.
Joe Langworthy boasts a five or six-piece combo who play regularly at a local night-spot.
Some of these campus dance bands, adhering to the public approval of sweet and sentimental melodies, boast violins and French horns to give the music that added "something."
From the first crescendo to the final downbeat, everyone seems glad for a change from the canned music of the past few years to the muted trumpets and traps of real, "live" dance bands.
Clark Tells Of Need For Revised Education
"Education could be revolutionized by the introduction of the study of human relations," Dr. Carroll D. Clark, head of the sociology department, said today.
Dr. Clark, who has just returned from a meeting at Harward University, where the probelms of human relations in all fields were discussed, explained that if such a plan were adopted, "teachers would stop being custodians of knowledge, and help students use their knowledge to meet actual living conditions.
General education must be revised to give students an overall picture of the information they acquire. The only way to do this is to develop a system which will promote "closer relations among all fields of science," he said.
"The specialized branches of knowledge set up for the sake of convenience must be integrated," Dr. Clark said. "Students find it difficult to understand and relate these fields when they are studied separately. They fail to see how each affects their daily lives."
A new approach to the problem of human relations is being developed by the Harvard Graduate School of business administration with its case method. Dr, Clark spent a year at the school as a research associate, helping to devise new teaching procedures. The new method involves acquiring actual living experience in industry, the home, and education.
Plans are being made to send additional members of the department to Harvard.
