blades; nails; springs; and other
metallic objects. Seems as if the
man, who as an amateur magi
cian, had gone a trifle too far in
swallowing various objects for
his admiring audiences.
While still on the subject of
radio we might say that prob
ably the worst move WMAJ
ever made was to throw that
five-minute news program at
5:30. To some people this may
seem inconsequential but to
Bob and Ray fans it is a su
preme insult. Why have this
newscast interrupting the very
popular Messrs. Elliot and Goul
ding when the news follows
soon after.
We are wondering if the base
ball team yesterday down at Vil
lanova had trouble stealing sig
nals from the Wildcat team.. A
check of the lineup indicates that
the Villanova boys may have
been conversing in Italian.
Navy drill team won second place
and the Air Force was third.
Revisions
Approved
By WSGA
Women's Student Government
Association last night voted to ap
prove the revisions of the elec
tions code. This w•as the second
and final voting on the revisions.
' An amendment added to the
constitution says that WS G A

Any other organizations wh o
wish to hold their elections on
the same dates must supply their
own ballots, ballot boxes and poll
sitters. WSGA poll sitters are not
eligible to poll sit for any other
organization.
These organizations must con
tact the WSGA elections chair- I
man at least one week bdfore the
primary elections to got permis
sion to hold their elections on the
same date. In the event organiza
tions cannot get their own poll
sitters
their poll will be closed.
One of the revisions passed said
that Senate and Judicial members
shall be. excused from all classes
to sit at polls on elections day. In
the event that dean's excuses are
not granted, members of the
House of Representatives and the
Freshman council shall be re
sponsible for the polls and poll
sitters in their own living units.
Another revision said that pri
mary elections must be held not
less than two days nor more than
ten days after the applications
have been closed. The primary
elections must be held not later
'than the last weekend in March
I and that the day be announced
at the first senate meeting of the
semester of the election.
It was also passed that the elec
tions chairman be appointed be
fore the end of the semester pre
vious to the coming - election.
Roseanne Fortunato. sophomore
in education from Wilmington,
Del. was appointed elections
chairman for the fall semester by
Daisy Zimmerman, WSGA presi
dent.
McPartland's idol is Beider
becke and he still possesses and
treasures a photograph presented
to him by Bix, autographed "To
the best white trumpet player—
from Bix."
McPartland uses Beiderbecke's
style and plays many of his ar

Jazz Concert
Jim McPartiand

McPartland's
Dixieland Band
To Be Heard
Memories of Bix Beiderbecke.
the finest player of Chicago jazz.
will be brought to Schwab Audi
torium tomorrow when Jim Mc-
Partland and his All Stars present
a Dixieland concert of Chicago
jazz.
Sponsored by the Jazz Club,
this presentation marks a depar
ture from the club's practice of
featuring modern experimental
jazz to a concert in the more tra
ditional vein.
The club feels that this concert
will provide much information
even to modernists because Chi
cago jazz is one of the great stages
reached in American music.
McPartland, a trumpeter, is
probably the most qualified per
son alive to depict and represent
Chicago jazz.
A six-piece corn b o, McPart
land's All Stars is composed of
trumpet, trombone, clarinet, bass.
piano, and drums.
