Spivak Recordings Are At A Premium
"Spivak is a lot better than Harry James," declared Russ Chambers, Hill maestro, when asked his opinion of Charlie Spivak and his band, who play for the Freshman Frolic October 31.
Harry James was the outstanding trumpet man featured in Chicago with Benny Goodman when he was "swing king."
Jimmy "Satchelmouth" Brown, trumpeter with Chamber's band, chimed in, "It's a dandy band from the standpoint of danceable music. Not too hot for good dancing. I think the students will be happier with him than almost anyone else."
Spivak is coming west straight from eastern triumphs. As rated by numerous magazine and student polls, the Spivak crew is "the band of 1941."
Tickets for the Frolic cost $2.00 plus tax, and are on sale at the Bell Music store, University Business office, and
at the hostess desk in the Memorial Union building.
Spivak recordings are appearing on all the juke boxes in Lawrence jelly-joints, and Bell Music store has had a complete sell-out of all Spivak recordings in stock.
Learn The National Lingo At Union Fountain
Gangster talk? Nope, just Union fountain waiters calling in an order for a coke and a banana split.
Bill Overton, fountain manager, thinks the soda fountain lingo the most picturesque in the world, with more room for expansion and variation than any other. For the greater understanding of jelly joint habi- $ ^{ \textcircled{2}} $

ques, he attempts to explain the simpler elements of the jerker's vocabulary.
"Shoot one" is a plain coke, while "shoot one left, right, or van" means lemon, cherry, and vanilla. "Stretch one" is a talk coke, "kiss one" an orangeade, "squeeze one," a limeade, "press one" a lemonade.
"In the rain" is water, "hail" is ice, with "hold the hail" or "heavy hail" meaning no or plenty of ice.
A "horn" is an ice cream cone,
always chocolate unless otherwise
indicated. A "shake is a milk shake,
"this'll kill ya" a banana split, "in one"
a chocolate soda, "on one" a
chocolate sundae, "in the patch"
strawberry.
Dr. Peppers are variously called MD, quack, and Waco. For obvious reasons the innocuous "400" is called "Ritz," and two of them, "800" split. A "cow" is a glass of milk, a "tall green cow," a large glass of milk.
And this goes on all day for an average of 1200 patrons. Frequently 2,000 students and visitors jam the fountain daily, and on weekends the number soars even higher.
One special feature of the fountain new this year that is attracting wide comment, is the board at the entrance of the fountain covered

Willie Hoppe Will Exhibit Cue Wizardry
Willie Hoppe, who has been synonymous with championship billiards for forty years, will exhibit his wizardry with a billiard cue in the game room of the Memorial Union building at 8:00 p.m. Monday, Oct.27.
"It's nothing, I just hate music." This is Professor Joseph Wilkins who believes that luck and "getting the breaks" has more to do with one's life than he gives credit.

"Well, have I offended you? What is the cause of such a downcast expression on your face? I can't understand, have I done something that is not traditional among guest conductors with this symphony?" The violinist glanced at him and explained:
Favorite joke—Professor Wilkins likes to tell the one concerning Stokowsky as guest conductor of the Boston Symphony, who noticed the outstanding ability of the first violinist and admired him but could not understand the bored and depressed look on his face.
At the University of Kansas—He sang for Swarthout in New York in 1935 and was offered the position of head of the voice department and accepted.
"Don't you like my conducting?" the master asked.
Stokowsky continued with the rehearsal and the bored expression still prevailed.
Hoppe will lecture on billiard fundamentals, exhibiting the skill that makes him a champion and demonstrate billiard tricks that will amaze his audience.
"Sure." Still bored.
