PAGE ESGHT Understanding of the Mentality Of Asiatics is Needed —Khalidy If America is to prosper as a world leader it must try to understand the mentality of the people of Asia and Africa, Sayid Awni Khalidy, UN representative from Iraq, said last night. Ms. Khaliday spoke In the fourth and last of a series of Liberal Arts lectures. He described these two great continents as in the throes of a movement for freedom, and added when * movement goes into the core and the heart of the people it is not possible to stop it. The United States has a great responsibility in this movement. It may oppose their move for free dom and make enemies of them or may help them and make them friends forever. 1914 Beginning of ihe End He described ihe economic ex ploitation and political slavery forced on Asia and Africa through the colonisation programs of Eu ropean countries. He called the year 1914 the beginning of the end of this colonization. T3:te mandate system promised mud- but gave little, he said. But although the Trusteeship Council of the UN has limited powers, he offered more hope for its success. “Perhaps the UN has been pow erless in certain things,” he said, “but one of its main successes was organizing oublic opinion against socialism.” Libyan Independence He pointed to the independence of Libya and Sarnaliland as ex amples of UN successes over the colonization spirit of European powers. This nationalistic spirit of Asia and Africa has brought violence and bloodshed, he said, but these were the only weapons the people of Asia and Africa could use. If the price of their freedom is blood shed, the people will be willing to pay it. European colonization powers said it was impossible to give in dependence to backward, ignor ant, barefoot people, he said. But every country was once barefoot, ignorant and backward. Even the U.S. was once a weak people un der the heel of a European power. Fall of China lo Reds He called the fall of China to the Communists the event of a new religion. Now in the minds of the subjected people of Asia and Africa Communism is a liberation. And tiie fall of China, he said, broke the back of Asia, for now the movement can spread intern ally to all parts of the continent. He called Korea the first step in this movement. Indo-China may well be the next step he said. There the prob lem is the people don’t have their heart in fighting, because they are not fighting to preserve their freedom but to preserve France’s control of them. He cited Palestine and South Africa as other trouble spots. He pointed out the folly of the com plete segregation policy of the Un ion of South Africa. There are eight million blacks and only two million whites in that country, and the blacks are bound to de mand their rights some day at great bloodshed, he said.

Faculty Members Report Travels A recent survey has shown that more than 150 members of the faculty have -resided in a foreign country for at least six months, half of them in Europe. This was revealed when nearly 800 faculty members replied to a questionnaire of the University committee on international under standing. The questionnaire, which was sent to faculty members by Presi dent Milton S. Eisenhower, also disclosed that 115 faculty mem bers have studied, 50 have taught, and nearly 300 have worked, in foreign countries. Approximately 150 of those who answered the questionnaire speak a foreign language fluently. The survey was made at the re quest of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Penn State was one of more than 100 colleges and universities which surveyed and appraised the local programs bearing on world affairs. ROOM WITH board for one male student. Phone 8-9135.

In fact, he said, he has nothing to say on the subject since, in his collection, he has few records cut later than 193 C. E. J. Nichols, professor of English composition, has been with the University for a quarter century, and has written articles about jazz for the old Vanity Fair, Tempo, and the book, Jazzmen. He has also been the subject of many ar ticles in Froth and Collegian. Professor Nichols considered' that enough and did not think he had any more to say. “Some people think jazz is new,” he said. “The real thing began way back in the 1900’s in New Or leans. Then it spread to Chicago and New York,” he explained. Henderson Not New “It angers me when I think,” Nichols said, “that the first time the young people ever heard of Fletcher Henderson, a great of my jazz time, was when he began writing special arrangements for Benny Goodman.” He was a great colored piano player and arranger of the 20’s who had several of the best big jazz bands of the era,” he said. It was the Henderson arrange ments which helped make fam ous the Goodman Jazz Concert in 1938. Therefore, his history, Nichols thought, would be of in terest to students now. Bands Still Familiar “Fletcher Henderson was a New York jazz man,” he said. “In his bands were names still familiar to this generation’s jazz enthus iasts.” Nichols mentioned Tommy Lad nier, Joe Smith, Rex Stewart, and Red Allen on trumpet; Jimmie Harrison. Benny Morton, and J. C. Higgenbothom on trombones; and Buster Bailey, Coleman Hawkins, and Benny Carter, saxes. Ladnier, Smith, and Harrison have died. Nichols remembers when Hen derson began big time in New York. He opened in the Roseland Ballroom in 1924 with Louis Arm strong on the trumpet. Hender son’s was the only big outfit Louie ever played with for as long as a year. Around 1937 he began arrang- Choice of 2 streamlined flavors: VANILLA FUDGE • STRAWBERRY VANILLA WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 17. 1954 By NANCY GRAY irig for Goodman. But Goodman is a perfectionist and seldom lets his orchestra “go” enough to do the arrangements justice.” Nichols said. “In the jazz concerts, how-* ever, Goodman really turned the band on.” Helped Old Jazz Henderson was never a strong man, but he lived through the old, jazz, and saw and aided in its* rise to take a large part in musi cal entertainment. He died last summer in New York. The old masters of New Orleans and Chicago styles could then be appreciated only on records. Small bands had no place to play in the 20’s. Henderson was one of the few who rose above the recording room status. “Most men played in radio stu dio house bands to use their tal ents. Then several would meet in a recording' studio, make up a name for themselves, and cut rec ords,” Nichols said. Famous Names Emerged ' Several names that emerged from this situation were Choco late Dandies, Savoy Ballroom Five, New Orleans Owls, and Red Nichols’ Five Pennies. Paul Whiteman, Chicago’s Ben ny Pollack, and a little later, the Casa Loma Orchestra, were about the only big white bands who tried to play real jazz of the kind that Fletcher Henderson devel oped so effortlessly.
