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.

senior representative to the Lib
eral Arts Student Council Mon

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

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

MISCELLANEOUS
English Prof 'Digs
Old-Time Jazzmen
Eddie Nichols pays no attention to recent jazz. 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-

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.
