TWO
Constitution
Hearing Set
By Cabinet
Holm to Give
NSA Report
Editorial on Page Four
Discussion will be resumed
on the proposed All-University
Constitution, and discussion
will be held on the National
Student Association report at
All-University Cabinet meet
ing at 8 tonight in the board room,
Old Main.
The action taken by Cabinet
last week is not final as Cabinet
cannot vote on the constitution
until next week’s meeting.
Last week Cabinet took a pre
liminary vote to remove the
clause which would give Cabinet
power to rescind any acts of a
member group which are deemed
detrimental to the good name of
the University and the welfare
of the student body. Robert Den
nis, president of the Association
of Independent Men, said he felt
the clause would violate another
clause which prohibits Cabinet
from passing legislation which
lies exclusively in the scope of
any member organization.
Simes Favors Constitution
Frank J. Simes, dean of men,
said yesterday that he was fav
orably inclined to provision in
the new constitution.
He said he felt the rescinding
power is a good provision since
constituent organizations are a
little jealous of perogatives and
somebody has to have check on
them.
Realises NSA Is Weak
Cabinet will also discuss the
NSA report to be given by Jan
ice Holm, chairman of the NSA
committee. Miss Holm told Cabi
net, at a previous meeting, she
realized NSA has been weak on
campus, but said Cabinet mem
bers should decide if they want
to put enough work into NSA
to make it worthwhile.
Vernon Sones, who was at
tending the meeting, asked Cab
inet to consider dropping NSA
altogether. He said the Univer
sity is too large to benefit from
NSA, which is composed largely
of smaller schools.

Recent Popularity
Brubeck, who has been de
scribed by critics as probably the
most excitihg new jazz artist at
work today, has emerged in only
a few years from an unknown to
one of the top names in jazzdom.
In only five years, Brubeck fans
have grown from a small, West
Coast clique to a coast-to-coast
crpwd particularly on college
campuses. Last June Brubeck
made his first Columbia record,
"Jazz Goes to College,” which for
four months outsold any single
album by Liberace.
Last year Brubeck won Down
Beat’s popularity and critic’s poll
and Metronome’s All-Star PolL
Jazz expert Qeorge Avakian, who
brought Brubeck to Columbia
records wrote that the Brubeck
quartette has "a 1 kind of team
work that is without parallel in
the entire field of music.”
Widespread Concerts
Brubeck and his quartette have
been enthusiastically received in
concerts all over the country.
They have appeared in Los An
geles' Sardi's, Boston’s Storyville,
Manhattan's Basin Street and in
September presented a concert in
Carnegie Hall. On their tour
through the Midwest they drew
large crowds in Chicago, Mil
waukee, and St. Louis.
Americans are beginning to
take jazz very seriously.
Brubeck, who introduced his own
brand of jazz, has had a large
part in bringing a new kind of
jaz- age to the country.
