Wednesday, November 4, 1959 Music and All That Jazz f Ginny Gandieman and Jack Raeder compare notes (musical, of course) on the future plans of the Jazz Club. A VISIT to the JAZZ CLUB I knocked on the closed door. As it opened mysteriously, the pitch of Maynard Ferguson threw me back, numbing my ears. Yes, this was unmistakably the right place, the first Jazz Club meeting of the year. My senses returned and I be held the founding father, Jack Raeder, and “Egor” Edwards hovering over the record player, selecting the next swinging side to be spun. The meeting had just been called to order to the wail of Ferguson by President Jim Knes trick. and it slipped into the busi ness at hand accompanied toy the, throaty blues of Anita O’Day. This was most appropriate and soothing. Relaxing, I looked around for a few of the prominent members of this organization. Over in the comer was “Sky” King, legs out istretehed, fingers tapping, lips Knestrick as he was leaving and found out that the other officers besides the president are Don Shelly, treasurer, and Beverly Britt, secretary. “Mr. Wells, I don’t care how many scientists Miss Pan ameroff claims Russia grad uates r'ach year! I don’t feel a patriotic duty to give you a passing grade!” By Beethoven mouthing the words of Miss O’Day. Next to him sprawled Ed Onorato, calculating the rhythm on his slide rule. Suddenly, Jack Raeder’s voice changed my stream of thought. “We should appropriate funds,” he snickered, “Burn’s style”, “for - -uh- -refreshments. I move that we set aside...” When the meeting ended, I walked dazedly out into the quiet. It was then that I remembered that I was there to get a story for the Cub. * Rushing back in, I caught Jim At present there are twenty actively interested members who hold meetings every Friday or Saturday night at one of the member’s homes. In the future, the club wants to establish a lis tening library in Erie Hall and a reading library on Jazz, its musi cians, and its history. Other dreams of the club are to entice local jazz musicians to Behrend Campus for jam sessions and to buy for their library Leonard Feather’s “Encyclopedia of Jazz.’ THE NITTANY CUB ★ Behrend Terra Firma ★ By Nobru I would like to introduce my self to you. My name is Nobru, end I see all,, hear all, and know all. From my listening post in. the girls’ dorm, I have overheard many things of interest. Why is Mlarcia complaining about a swollen lip? Relax, kids, it’s from a bowling pin. How wa„ the trip to Pittsburgh? A bit crowded I’d- say! Lucky Andy, in the back seat with five girls. Hap py birthday, Sandy. Now can I have another piece of cake? Well, gotta hurry to the. parking lot and get my ride home. Knit one, pearl two. dorm girls. There’s so many crowded car's. I’ll be lucky to squeeze in a cor ner of the back seat. Oh, lucky me. I just found a seat right next to Rita Panameroff This is great! The group is starting to tell many things. Ron Polak is wondering how two left foot prints got on the back of his sweater at the last party. By the way, he was wear , ing it at the time. Jim Altman relates that a few weight con scious girls went to a local steam bath to get the works. Names are being ■withheld for obvious rea sons. (Initials: BE, P.R., M 8.,) Eddie Mandel is trying desper ately to win a ping pong cham pionship. Likewise with Egor in pool. “Why the sudden rush to the woods?” asks Hal Newcomer. Set tle down, it’s only for botany leaves! Suddenly the car jerks. Gail Anderson is shifting gears again. What’s with the boys taking up If You Ask My Opinion ... The diversified opinions of the girls’ new gym suits seems to be a subject of much interest to all students. When asked what they thought about the suits, the following answered: Pat Raftis—All we need now is a think of the girls’ gym suits. bow in our hair.

Will all the girls please take their lipsticks, compacts, bob by pins, and other junk from the back seat of Jim Stevens’ car? By the way, what’s it doing there anyway? Dave Prizinsky had better get on the ball! It seems the other boys are passing him up, with a certain girl that is! Boys, wake up. You’re losing several freshmen girls to a local college. Tom Wood seems to be giving too much assistance to the girl bowlers. Brains are really being strained by many a freshman. Reason: Learning to play bridge. No one will ever know the fun that was had by the nine ingenious couples under their costume at the Pumpkin Prance! Will someone please tell Gerry Lewis, pin setter, that there are two balls to a frame, not one. The drafting boys seem to be doing 'better in their drawing now that Miss Kisiel has been helping them. Some sophomore boys have the most provocative legs! John Lloyd looks a little chubbier. I think he’s been eating better. Why does Linda Steiner have Jack’s name in her notebook? You’d think she’d be more con cerned with “Lover” Knestrick. Clayton Witherow and Jo-Anne Kisiel should get together. Their troubles seem to run in the same stream. “I love you more than chocolate cake and loUipops”, says Phyllis Rosenblatt. (To Phil, of course.)
