Duke's Up for IF, December 6, And Still Seeking New Trends
[Duke Ellington will p r o v i d e t h e m u s i c a t t h e I n t e r f r a t e r n l t y Ball, Friday, D e c e m b e r 6.)
The royal personnage of Duke Ellington, America's foremost com- poser of modern music, has reigned as a pace-setting stylist since 1927.
For. more than two decades, the El- lington idiom has carved out a big niche in musical America.
Bands have come and gone.
None have moved the "Duke" from the top rung. Yet Ellington feels he has-n't even scratched the sur- face of music's great potentialities.
He has contributed more to mod- ern music in originality, melodic material, and arranging technique.
\ h a n any othei; contemporary. His f a n n e r of waiting in enigmatic mood and quick-silver rhythms has '— for subtle by-play of reeds 'against br&sses, and piano against
orchestra — remained an individ- ual art.
If imitation is the greatest flat- tery, the Duke has had more imi- tators and flattery than most men.
He has also earned the tribute of the concert hall intelligentsia, who rank his innovations in modern music with the art of Stravinsky, Ravel and Delius.
by Pete Shapiro But the compliment which fea- thers the cap of a musician is the admiration of his colleagues — bandleaders and musicians who take busmen's holidays listening to the Duke as the standard of excel- lence.
Most musicians agree that one of the reasons the Duke's music is as provocative today as when it
T h e " D u k e "

was first beaten out in a night club, is that an Ellington tune is always ahead of its time.
"Solitude," "Sophisticated Lady,"
"Mood Indigo," are still fresh on the lips of the public, and right down in front with his more recent
"Don't You Know I Care?" and
"I'm Beginning to See the Light."
Duke Ellington, the one com- poser whose works always remain as "standards" has always writteb in a style and idiom so much ahead of his time that the listening pub- lic is forever just catching up with songs he wrote -years ago.
Duke, while constantly develop- ing new musical ideas and themes, writes songs that set the style years ahead and consequently never go out of style themselves.
One striking example of this is the popular revival on radio and concert stage of ''Black and Tan Fantasy."
Another is the big demand for albums of his older works, two of which were recently issued and in- clude the delightful "Azure" and
"Prelude To a Kiss" besides the more recent "Don't Get Around Much Anymore."
Dave Brubeck, himself no mean creator of popular idiom, has said,
"It is the rare artist who has thè the challenge of change. Duke El- lington, who predates swing, has imagination to continually meet not only met this challenge but projects into the future."
sics; Mr. Leach, assistant profes- sor of history and political sci- ence; Mr. Sibley, associate profes- sor of philosophy; and Dean Mar- shall, of the Liberal Arts School.
They will eaoh present a brief statement on the topic as it ap- plies to their individual fields.
A general discussion will follow the formal part of the meeting, during which time the panel will receive questions from the floor.
The meeting, which is open to the public, is the second of this type that the University chapter has sponsored. Last year a discussion and interpretation of David Reis- man's book "The Lonely Crowd,"
was held.
The Alfred chapter of the AAUP is planning an entire series of this type of progrgam, depending on the success of the December 3 dis- cussion.

Canadian Players To Make Third Local Appearance
Ted Follows, Dawn Greenhalgh WillTakeLead s In Shaw's Sharp-Witted "Man and Superman"
The Stratford Canadian Play- ers will make their third appear- ance here in as many years when they present George Bernard Shaw's "Man and Superman" at the December 9 Forum.
"Man and ¡Superman" is the sec- ond -play to be performed by the Canadian Players, the first being
•"Saint Joan" which was greeted by rave reviews from the Canadian press as well as from such Ameri- can papers as the "New York Times," "Variety," and "Time Mag- azine." Alfred University students and faculty saw this fine produc- tion two years ago and last year were privileged to view Henrik Ib- sen's "Peer Gynt."
The Players twill omit the Don Juan act in their presentation of
"Man and 'Superman" as a quick- moving, quick-witted and highly entertaining battle of the sexes.
In the preface of the play, Shaw -writes t o a friend: "You once ask- ed me why I did not write a Don Juan play . . . the day of reckon-
by Bonnie Gross
ing has arrived and here is your play." With that the fun begins!
EDWARDIAN T E M P O Written in the Edwardian era!
prior to . World War I, "Man and Superman" refleots the tempo' of that period. Suffragettes were on the rampage, and women were raising shrill voices in the claimor for equality. Shiaws hero, Jack Tanner, is an up-to-date philander- er who believes he knows all there is to know about the modern wo- man. His sophisticated philosophy makes no-allowance for the arrival of Ann Whitfield, the logical wo- man.
Playing the lead roles of Jack Tanner and Ann Whitfield are two of Canada's best known and best looking artists, Ted Follows and Dawn Greenhalgh, both of whom have behind them years of experi- ence gained in study in Canada
•and Britain, work with repertory companies, films and on radio and TV. Both have been out with the Canadian Players before, as in-
deed have most of the exceptional- ly strong cast.
Follows, who never had a mo- ment's doubt as to his vocation, has (won the Best Actor Award in the Winnipeg Drama Festival
(1945) and a two-year scholarship to the Banff School of Fine Arts.
He joined the Everyman Theatre in Vancouver for its inaugural sea- son in 1946-47 and has played with
such well-known repertory com- panies as the Glasgow Citizens' Theatre, the Nottingham Play- house, Wyndham's Theatre and the Oxford Playhouse.
MISS GREENIHALGH Miss Greenhalgh was bo^n in Shanghai and found herself acting a t a very early age in a Japanese concentration icamip. She came to Canada , in 1949 after toeing evacu- ated from Communist China.

Theme of "Crucible" More Universal Than That of "Death of a Salesman"
When the final curtain fell on the Footlight Clulb's production of Arthur Miller's "The Crucible" ¡Sat- urday, an immediate surge of en- thusiastic laughter, caused, I be- lieve, by a falling prop, seeped through the ciloth. This was prob- ably the most significant piece of communication offered the au- dience by the cast that eveming, tor it iorceably returned things to a type of reality, and brought to the surface the tremendous job performed that evening, and the preceding one, by a group with limited resources, who had chosen to present a demanding piece of dramatism.
Demanding in a number of ways: for one thing, the choice of this play was a good one. It is a recently written play by a mod- ern author. At the same time, i>t is a well known fact that audien- ces, collegiate as well as others, appreciate a comedy far easier than a serious work. There was nothing funny about Miller's play.
The audience laughed; more so the first night than during the presidential performance, because the opening night 'body of observ- ers was younger.
Some of the laughter was valU, stemming from such localized con- notations as could 'be applied to phrases about rebellion in Ando- ver, and justice that would freeze beer, beer, beer. Some of it was mot. The cast, nevertheless, accept- ed the audience's reactions to se- mantic dualities without turning the presentation into a farce.
T H E F L A M E S O F MOTIVE The heat of "The Crucible" re- quired more than a contextual Sto- icism, however. Miller has tried to say certain things; he has tried to present an experience. It would be deceit to ignore an author's intent. The cast of Friday night's offering saw this punpose; the cast of Saturday's presentation felt It, Brooks Atkinson, New York Times critic, called "The Cruci- ble" "second to 'Death of a Sales- man' as a work of art." Mr. Atkin- son went on to say that "The CruKsifble" was not of the stature of
"Death . . . " and that it lacked Ohe universality of Miller's first Broadway success. Fortunately,
by marvin h. bell
Mr. Atkinson reversed his field somewhat in later columns: "The Crucible" says more in one act ithan "Death . . . " says in its en- tirety. It is more universal.
"Death of a Salesman" is dis- tinctly American; it is concerned
•frith American values, and the im- plications of Willie toman's fate that one relates to all o^-mankind are only implications, as valid as they may be. Not so to "The Cru- cible." Here, Miller concerns him- self with the truth each iman con- tains. He brings to the stage the real folly behind all suppositions
that one man can decide what is right for another: Proctor is right;
the church and the court and the town are not.
Miller's God is not in heave?;
He is here on earth. And so John Proctor can say "God is dead,"
when he knows truth and goodness to be dead.
T H E H E A T O F S A C R I F I C E If there is one major fault in the play's construction, it is one of sacrifice. Mr. Miller has sacrific- ed fast movement throughout most of the play, and especially toward its end, for repetition, expansion and rephrasing "of his theme.
Brooks Atkinson seems to think that Mr. Miller does not display the warmth in this play that he injected Into "Death . . . " But we must remember that Willie is a twentieth century satellite; the people in the Salem pot are Pur- itans.
But to return to last weekend's presentations: C. Duryea Smith III, director, and Ronald Brown, tech- nical director, combined to effec- tively utilize* and highlight the na!tJ
ural capabilities of the cast. The pflay offered a considerable num- ber of demanding parts, and it be- came a question, on this small cam- pus, of putting the round pegs In the round openings.
There were a lot of good fits.
Bob Chellin, as John Proctor, and Joanne Herkus, as his wife, team- ed up to complement each other's rigidity of definition effectively.
Bonmie Sussman, as Abigail Wil- liams, displayed,a most convincing apathy toward the audience and in- terest in her (Abbie's) situation.
In a sense, Abbie is the most en-

viable character in the play.
Things are clear-cut for 'her. She condemns hypoor^y, rather than accept the paradoxes inherent in existence. Her movement could ba valid, if it were not for the fact that she must live gregariously.
Society condemns her; we, as in- dividuals, can only pity.
T H E W A R M T H O F C H A R A C T E R S Ilene Waxier, as Mary Warren, convinced me of Mary's naive, er- ratic directness. Roy Glassiberg, as Thomas Putnam, and Camille Cro- foot, as Mrs. Putnam, constructed a fittingly contemptible standard of humanity in praise of hell. Mi- chael Selsley, as The Reverend Parris, and Dickson Shaw, in the role of the Reverend Hale, were contrasted nicely to display the tragic blindness of the former and {he path of inquiry and eventual frustration of the latter.
•Carol Rosen, as Rebecca Nurse, and Michael Moses, as Giles Corey, movingly revealed their inward truths. In a manner, these two are the real heroine and hero of the movement. But we are interested ill the movement of characters, not the movement of history, in this particular case, and so- the Proctors assume the roles of hero and heroine, first class.
Susan Levin, as Tituba, and Elaine Fein-berg, as Betty Parris, help establish the tension of the time in their roles of cause and effect, respectively.
A N D T H E F I R E . . . If there were any serious techni- cal imperfections in the produ- tion, they were not noticed. The play overshadowed the production, just as the characters overshadow- ed the cast. This is as it should be. There is always the tendency to offer the audience what it thinks it should get, rather than what it really should receive. The persons who presented "The Cru- cible" did not succumb to this dis- honesty They knew who they were, as the nineteen who did not confess knew who they were. They were their own proctors and nur- ,ses. The images of fire and know- ledge that appear so often In the play were emibracd during rehear- sal, and the result was honest, valid and thoroughly pleasing.

Prof. John Andrews GivesMusicLessons
All would-be string instrumental- ists now have an opportunity to learn or further develop musical abilities through professional in- struction.
Professor John Andrews, orches- tra conductor and concert violin- ist, serving on the faculty of Houghton College has arranged to
•be in Alfred one day a week to teach private lessons in violin, vi- ola, cello and string bass.
Saturday, Prof. Andrews met with young children, students, (fac- ulty as well as members of the community interested in taking lessons.
Mrs. Andrews, an accomplished bassoon performer and instructor, would be willing to offer lessons in clarinet, bassoon, and other wind instruments if interest in such instruction was indicated to the community.
Those who wish to obtain addi- tional information about these les- sons should contact Dr. David Johnson.

Paris, France—Paris has been called "The City of Four Seasons,"
but it can also b® called "The City of Four Views." On November 1,' I spent 18 hours sightseeing, and.
from each view saw Paris in a very different light.
It has been said that in Paris one can stay underground all day,, and now I certainly believe It. I was on and off the Metro nearly 12 hours as it wqund its way from one end of the city to the other.
The subway lines run all through the city, Connecting ait various ter- minal points.
There are two classes, first and second, and especially in the ear- ly morning and the late evening, you find the second class cars filled with the everyday people oi Paris who can afford the Metro ticket but not the price of central heating. (The Metro is one of the few public places that is centrally heated.)
T H E I N T E L L E C T U A L V I E W I started the tour ait the Sor- bonne, (which for 70 years has been attracting students from all over the world) and then spent nearly am hour in the Luxembourg Gardens. There I saw the first view of Paris; the intellectuals sitting in the spray of 'the numer- ous fountains.
Perhaps the to-he-famous works;
of some at-present-unknown poet were being written under my very eyes. And of course there was t i e ever present throng of tourists with thir cameras and guide books
—mine were in a large'bag (which is my constant companion)— out of sight—as the Parisians laughi when' 'they see someone dissecting!
their city with a light meter and a magnifying glass.
T H E S E C O N D P A R I S Our next stop was the Invalides and the Eiffel Tower. The ride in the elevator, and the view from the top of the tower was an ex- perience that I shall never forget
—this is the "second Paris." Here the individual gets the feeling that he is sitting on top of the world.
It was a clear day, and I could see all of Paris.
My next stop took me across the river—from the Left Bank of 'the Artists to the Bight Bank of the Models. There my first stop was
the Place de L'Etoile and the Arc de Triumphe.
I took* the elevator to the ' top.
From here one sees all of Paris radiating from the Arc—from the Avenue de las Grand Armee to 'the famous Champs-Elysees. and the various smaller and even more fashionable side streets. The view from the Eiffel Tower was fabu- lous, however the view from here was breathtaking.
T H E T O U R I S T ' S V I E W With all that sight-seeing, I got hungry, so as my next stop was the Opera, we stopped at Pam- Pam, a sort of glorified Schrafft's.
This is the third view of Paris, the tourist's view. Here one can order anything American—hot dog3, ham- burgers, ice-cream-sodas—and if you find a waiter speakipg his na- tive tongue something is wrong.
After & quick lunch (something rare in France), I visited the Op- era. As it Was getting a face-lift- ing, I was not allowed to enter the first floor.
I then walked up the Champs- Elysees from the Place de la Con- corde towards the Rond-Point.
There I took the Metro at the most fabulous station in the world. It was as though I had entered the court at-Versailles during its peak of activity.
The station's name was "Frank- lin Delapo Roosevelt" because France received much United States financial aid, especially dur- ing his term of office.
T H E A R T I S T ' S P A R I 8 Now I arrived in the realm of the fourth Paris—Montmarte—the Artist's Paris on the Right Bank.
I was told that Montmarte 'is amazing by day, but that at night, it is unbelievable. That however.
Is not the word, I must use the French, formidable. Above all, it is a melange, (French keeps slip- ping in)—it's arty, -it's quiet, it's eerie.
My first stop was Sacre Coeur, a mile and a half climb of steps—•
straight up. But the view that greeted me was more than worth the trouble. Once again, there wiaa Paris stretched before me in all its splendor, with the Seine, wind- ing its way slowly through the city.
After that climb, I needed a re- fresher so I searched for a bistro or cafe. I didn't have much trouble finding one and there I ended my tour of Paris, listening to Ameri- can jazz.
Tigertown Five Set to Jam It For Interfraternity Weekend

Rubin, who brings his combo to the Ag-Tech Gym for a Saturday jazz concert during Interfrat Week- end, has achieved a degree of suc- cess rarely attained by men twice his age.
iStan was appearing at New York's Jimmy Ryan's and the pow- ers that be in the Holland-Ameri- can Lines' College Student Sail- ings, became enthusiastic over the group.
The Tigertown Five was sgned for a free-passage hooking, and in a
few months found themselves pul- ling out of Hloboken on the S. S.
Groote Beer along with 900 .other college students.
One of Stan's English acquain- tances finally convinced the man- ager of Maxim's — the gayest and biggest night-club on the Riviera
— to let him audition there before the opening on one night.
That night was Stan's shot heard around the world. The people went wild. Those who couldn't afford Maxim's were danc-
ing and yelling in the streets out- side. The combo did everything but-cause a riot.
Pretty soon the French jazz vocabulary of «'Louis Armstrong and Keed Ory" was expanded to in- clude the "Tigertown Cinq."

Prof. Warren Stresses Relations of Individuals

"Our Stuttgart guestbook will help remind me that we must em- phasize the contact of flesh-and- blood human beings with flesh-and- ,blood human beings who • through friendship can strengthen each other in the quest tor the climate of opinion in which peace is pos- sible." This was the main senti- ment expressed in Dr. Roland War- ren's talk "Stuttgart Guestbook'5 at the November 21 assembly.
In it, Dr. Warren, chairman of the sociology department, spoke of the individual people who visit- ed with the Warren family during their stay in Stuttgart, Germany.
The balk was centered about indi- viduals as opposed to internation-

al events because Dr. Warren feels that the relationship between friendly people throughout the world "has become overshadowed by the hostile relationship of con- flicting governments, who in their careless and uncouth behavior to- ward each other, so often . . . be come a barrier to such friend- ships."
The people . . . the real, warm and vital friends of Dr. Warren, with whom we became acquainted through his fascinating ana human anecdotes, reinforced Dr. Warren's ibelief in the goodness of people
and in the human bond we share.
Especially vivid was Dr. Warren's story of the desperate Johannes Stahl, the mentally unbalanced Bavarian Communist. The message that we must come to realize is fchat we, as human beings are re- sponsible for his unfortunate situ- ation.
/ Dr Warren also commented on his objection to Americans living and traveling in relative isolation from the civilian population be- cause this tendency creates the im- pression of an air of superiority on our part.
In concluding, Dr. WaTren called upon us to recognize people of various countries as human beings apart from their governments.

A f t e r t h e opening t a p a t 8:15, t h e cagers will be a f t e r t h e i r f i r s t win over Hobart since they downed t h e Orange a n d Purple f o r t h e i r f o u r t h win of t h e '52-'53 season.
Mel Roberts took the scoring honors in that game with 18 points. However, the only Saxons from that squad that Alfred fol- lowers will rameuHber are Millard
Evak, Bob Corbin and Bill Balle.
None of the present seniors — Harry Bubnack, Bob Greene, or Howie Jarolman — ever played a
"winning game against the States- men.
Since t h e 62-56 win five y e a r s ago, Hobart piled nine consecutive losses on t h e cagers. They won t h e second game t h a t season 58-50 and then picked up two wins each following campaign.
Art Lambert, Hobart's quarter- back and season total offense lead- er, lias helped carry the Statesmen cagers for the past three years.
The 6'2" senior from Baltimore will be starting at; one of the for- ward slots against Alfred on
December 4.
Lambert has always managed to play some of his best ball against the Warriors —. both on the grid and on the court., .
He set t h e all-time m a r k f o r individual scoring against t h e

Giving Lambert a helping hand will be Gary "Tre-" Mendez, who also plays his fourth year of Ho- bart basketball.
The husky senior from Pough- keepsie will be the pivot man in the Lambert-centered attack.
Coach Smith and assistant coach A1 Slegal have employed a two-
team system for Alfred during the preseason practices,- and will probably continue to do so.
Nine, of Pete Smith'» var- sity players have already seen service on t h e Alfred c o u r t s :
Warren Wagner averaged 12.8 points per game last year playing
his first season for the Saxons. He pres^ptly holds the Alfred record for consecutive free throws.
Greene pushed across 180 points laqt year, and, proved to be the most volatile eager by piling up a tota.1 of 54 personal fouls for the 16 game campaign.
Bubnack, Don Campos and Rog Ohstrom averaged between 7.7 and 9.7 points per game playing at guard and forward positions.
Art Bresnick, another forward, scored 16.7 poiqts per game for the freshmen, while Eric Kluwe also saw action for. the junior cagers.

Intramural Football Injuries — Cute? An Otince of Prevention

Dead t e t t e r Office
The hardest thing for an editor to dp is to be forced, to threw away, or "kill," his own material. Seeing their own printed word is A e life blood of all the journalists.
This week we join the ranks of die living-dead by disposing of a previously written column on prospects for the coming basketball sea- son. To quickly summarize, we wordily said that things looked good and that varsity games begin at 8:15p.m.
That being out of the way, we'd like to turn to the reason for the said massacre.
An unnecessary situation exists in intramural touch-football play that unfortunately has dramatically come to attention recently. This year, as h(ts always been the case, several major and minor injuries have marred the enjoyment of that competition.
The minor bruises go away quickly enough, or can be used effect- ively as battle scars in many a Monday morning armchair-quarterback session.
Ragged, B u t Still R u g g e d
However, serious injuries cannot be brushed off lightly. Those who are hurt, and those who inflict the damage certainly cannot forget them easily.
In addition, anyone having an indirect responsibility must be made to remember and think over the situation. More on this in a few para- graphs. ,vj«Oi,U >1U /vnuufctt kjuii
Most injuries are due to poor conditioning or inexperience among the players. Proper coaching, as a means to remove these causes, is un- fortunately not feasible.
A Suggestion
However, any form of equipment—even outdated helmets—would prevent the unnecessary major injuries.
The intramural board exists under the authority of the athletic de- partment. Thus, it is logical to turn there for help in this regard.
If the purchase of football "armor" is not practical financially, we would suggest that the department consider loaning, to the Intramural Board, equipment that is ordinarily unused, or used only for practice sessions.
According to its present mediial plan, the University does not off- er protection to students or sustained treatment for injuries that occur in intramural athletics.
If the mishaps become too serious, with nothing done to improve any of the conditions, intramural football at Alfred might simply be eliminated by the powers-that-bei
Now Is (the Time, etc.
This retreat, of course, would deprive over a hundred interested students of the enjoyment of the sport.
Any other suggestions should be suggested now, before the change of the athletic scene shortens memories.
