Robeson Explains Song Theory
By Lewis L. Jaffe
The applause died down. The.
concert was over.
Immediately, Robeson admirers,
ages six to sixty, made a quick
clash backstage with programs in
one hand and an odd assortment
of pens and pencils in the other.
We lost out in the rush and rather
than have a hurried, harassed in
terview with Paul Robeson, we
turned away from the crowd and
proceeded across the stage to the
small dressing room at the left.
For once the lesser lights, the
solo and accompanying pianists,
■would have a chance to come out
of the shadow of the famous
singer with whom they appeared.
Alone in the tiny, bare room,
forgotten by all (but a few auto
graph hounds, 'the two artists,
William Sehatzkamer and Law
rence Brown, sat patiently wait
ing for the star to return. They

Slowly, Sehatzkamer sketched
his previous life. The young con

hdaivy 'lEipplause in appreciation'
of his fiery piano talents, had
once been a boxer, fighting in
amateur-clubs back home.
Thi9 sounded like something
dramatic enough for Hollywood
to have thought up. It would
make a wonderful script—boxer
turned pianist.
He showed us his bands. They
were nimble, agile, but tough and
hard for a concert pianist.

Health Service
Has Flu Serum
For Students
The College 'Health Service will,
be prepared to offer influenzal
vaccine inoculations on a purely
voluntary basis to College students
by Friday. The Executive Com
mittee of the Board of Trustees
approved the suggestion from the
Health Service at their 'December
meeting. According to medical
historians and statisticians, this
winter is in the cyclic period for
an epidemic of influenza.
This vaccine is effective against
only two strains Of the virus of
influenza, so called A and B
strains. In an epidemic material
izes this year, it is expected to be
of the B strain.
Authorities agree that these
strains of influenza afford about
60 to 70 per cent immunity in
about 14 days following treatment.
The present vaccine has been
used for the past several years by
the military forces, many indus
trial organizations and a few col
leges. Yale University, had given
3700 inoculations out of a student
body of 8600 by November 49, on
a voluntary ibasis.
Because of the cost involved,
each student taking advantage of
this service will be expected to
pay filfty cents at the time of in
jection.
