Lunceford Features Top Jazz Men By BEN FRENCH When Jimmie Lunceford, leads his famous orchestra into Rec Hall next Friday night for this year’s Junior-Senior Ball, Penn State couples wiil be dancing to the music of one of the truly great orchestras in the history of jazz. Lunceford’s group possesses such cohesion and is executed with a technical perfection which leaves the listener literally gasping. Moreover the orchestra has a fire and a great enthusiastic power; it swings, not in a massive or heavy way, but in an alert, incisive, deli -cate, and well-knit fashion which is sometimes supple and restrained ’as in “Margie” and “Organ Grind er’s Swing” and sometimes violent and tempestuous like “Running Wild,” “Annie Laurie,” and “For Dancers Only.” In moderate tempos the orches. OF THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE COLLEGE Air Corps Men Taste College Life Again “Hut-two-three-four. Hut-two three-four. Detail halt. Right face. Dismissed.” The Air Corps boys have start ed classes. Instead of the usual raucous chatter by passing stu dents, Penn Staters getting up for an eight o’clock period ar.e now greeted with the staccato com mands and haunting cadence of marching Air Corps men on their way to technical instruction.

The reason behind the wonder ful music that the band puts out in the fact that all the mem-, bers of the group are fine musi cians in their own right. Take the rhythm section for instance—that is the department that is responsi ble for the fine beat that the Lunceford boys have. Jimmie Crawford is a stupendous drum mer, who feeds the boys ajl the time with one of the steadiest and strongest beats of any drummer in the business. Add to that fine bassing by Truck Parham, who recently joined the band, and you can see, heai' and feel why the beat is so solid. Jimmie’s brass is top-notch, too. He now has four trumpeters, any of whom can play outstanding jazz Final Exams To Continue, Student Conference Told “War time makes it even more necessary that we maintain meth ods of disciplinary education,” said President Ralph D.

At Penn State the majority of faculty -members • feel that final examinations help to assimilate the whole course, although there are some courses which can be taught in panels. “We feel it is best to uphold, the educational standards of the College in strenuous times, rather • than lower them. When a crisis comes, the best thing .to do is tighten your belt and overcome situations, rather than loosen your belt and’ let the situation over come you. As soon as you begin' to walk away from a problem*, it has you licked.” Student views expressed ,in the conference with the president were to the effect that finals have no place in the wartime acceler ated program. President Hetzel« answered that a representative group of faculty . members, assigned •.. . to.. evaluate the accelerated Summer- program -••• reported that absence. of .final- ex aminations was ..a . major "Weak ness in the accelerated system. “The only reason.’final:.exam inations were dropped inprevi- ■ ous semesters was -to-save-several: - weeks.
