Tommy to Toot Torrid Trumpet by Al Hix Heat generated by the torrid wailings of Tommy Jones’ educated trumpet may present a problem for the planners of the second annual Winter carnival at the Bel-Air Bay club Saturday night, where Jones' band will play. "All cur decorations are going to follow a snow and snowman theme,” explained Bill Parker, decorations chairman, "and they tell me this guy T. Jones blows such a fervent horn that it’s liable to melt them on the first chorus." Jones has developed his individual trumpet stylings over a number of years by playing with such top bands as Harry James, George Olsen, Ray Noble, and Kay Kyser. The Jones aggregation was the Monday night feature at the Hollywood Palladium for many months, and during the war, Jones was the leader of an army musicai organization. As an instrumentalist he ha^ appeared on numerous radio programs and has had as many as three recordings in one day. His own 8-piece group is featured on several recording labels and has been heard on every major radio network. He specializes in a smooth, danceable tempo for dancmg. with Jones himself occasionally taking the spotlight for a boomdockir.g chorus. "With such a beautiful seizing as the Bel-Air Bay club and music by a band like Jones’ it's unfortunate that we must limit the bids to 300.’’ said George Wood, dance chairman, "but we want be certain that the place isn’t too ciov. d-ed.” Bids to the semi-formal tiance are S2.50 and will be on sale this week until they are gone in front of the Administration building. , 'Dismissal of instructional stalls for political reasons is dangerous : for it strikes at tlie very heart ot the principle of free education that ! institutions of learning should not . be in the hands of spool • voups ' he said. The University oi Washington nas : ; a 10-year tenure code which speci- 1 I fies definite causes for dismissal, he explained. They are incompetence, | immorality, neglect of duty, mental | or physical incapacity .and convic- • tion of a felony involving moral i turpitude. STUDENTS TESTIFY I Dr. Phillips said Washington never attempted to establish a case i : against him based on these faults.: "It was made clear time and time j again that the reason for my dis- . missal was for membership in the j i Communist party and for that' alone. Students without any polm- ; cal bias as well as all the members . of my department testified to the : competence of my teaching, re-' search, and scholarship. Also I re- j ceived many letters from professors i at Columbia. Brown, and Yale tes-j tifying to my competence.’’ The 57-year-old ex-associate pro- , fessor of philosophy, instructor at ‘ Washington tor 191-> years, was the t center of a fracas at UCLA Friday. ■ UCLA DEBATE The UCLA provost squelched a 1 proposal for a debate between Dr. Phillips and Dr. M.

Shortage Blamed For Two-Year Light Delay There will be lights over streets and alleys of the long-dim Row— in the near future. That promise was given by David E. Cook, water and power department official, at a recent meeting of university and city officials. Cook said five lights will be placed in the area: one between 27th and 28th streets, one between 28th and 30th streets, one on 28th street near Figueroa, and one ic each of rhe alleys paralleling the row.

NO DICTATORSHIP In his "blanket disavowals,” Dr. Phillips said, ' I do not believe in the violent overthrow of the U. S.

He barged into the lobby with the telegram still firmly < Iutched in his hand. Spying St. Valentine nonchalantly placing a same of hearts, George chortled. "It happened, St. Valentine, it happened.’’ .St. Valentine threw his cards down in disbelief. "You mean to sav you have iinal!y achieved recognition?” “Well, well.” continued St. Valentine. “tomorrow will really be a holiday. To think. George, that not only is tomorrow your birthday, but also a university holiday at SC. George, my boy, you’ve arrived.” Ingolf Dahl, associate professor of music, last Tuesday was called w z witness in the $250,000 damage . suit of Igor Stravinsky against the Leeds Music company. Stravinsky charged that the company adapted the popular ballad. ! "Summer Moon.” from his “Firebrand Suite,” and that it damaged his reputation by attaching hn name to the piece. “The harmonies of ‘Summer Moon” have no connection to Stravinsky's music, and only 32 of the ' 46 bars of the melody bear arty re-j semblance.” said Dahl. Stravinsky charges that he did , not give the music company permission to link his name with the ballad and that the name of the I arranger does not appear on the I music. The counsel for Leeds Music company played a recording of the ballad in court. Dahl commented that the piece had ‘‘a little” musica! i merit. Questioned about the trial, Dahi i said that he liked jazz but w*as against watered-down classics. “I don't believe in pitching clas-j sical music against popular music, for each has its limitations.” saic ! Dahl.

Tommy to Toot Torrid Trumpet by Al Hix Heat generated by the torrid wailings of Tommy Jones’ educated trumpet may present a problem for the planners of the second annual Winter carnival at the Bel-Air Bay club Saturday night, where Jones' band will play. "All cur decorations are going to follow a snow and snowman theme,” explained Bill Parker, decorations chairman, "and they tell me this guy T. Jones blows such a fervent horn that it’s liable to melt them on the first chorus." Jones has developed his individual trumpet stylings over a number of years by playing with such top bands as Harry James, George Olsen, Ray Noble, and Kay Kyser. The Jones aggregation was the Monday night feature at the Hollywood Palladium for many months, and during the war, Jones was the leader of an army musicai organization. As an instrumentalist he ha^ appeared on numerous radio programs and has had as many as three recordings in one day. His own 8-piece group is featured on several recording labels and has been heard on every major radio network. He specializes in a smooth, danceable tempo for dancmg. with Jones himself occasionally taking the spotlight for a boomdockir.g chorus. "With such a beautiful seizing as the Bel-Air Bay club and music by a band like Jones’ it's unfortunate that we must limit the bids to 300.’’ said George Wood, dance chairman, "but we want be certain that the place isn’t too ciov. d-ed.” Bids to the semi-formal tiance are S2.50 and will be on sale this week until they are gone in front of the Administration building. , 'Dismissal of instructional stalls for political reasons is dangerous : for it strikes at tlie very heart ot the principle of free education that ! institutions of learning should not . be in the hands of spool • voups ' he said.

STUDENTS TESTIFY I Dr. Phillips said Washington never attempted to establish a case i : against him based on these faults.: "It was made clear time and time j again that the reason for my dis- . missal was for membership in the j i Communist party and for that' alone. Students without any polm- ; cal bias as well as all the members . of my department testified to the : competence of my teaching, re-' search, and scholarship. Also I re- j ceived many letters from professors i at Columbia.

Stravinsky charged that the company adapted the popular ballad. ! "Summer Moon.” from his “Firebrand Suite,” and that it damaged his reputation by attaching hn name to the piece. “The harmonies of ‘Summer Moon” have no connection to Stravinsky's music, and only 32 of the ' 46 bars of the melody bear arty re-j semblance.” said Dahl. Stravinsky charges that he did , not give the music company permission to link his name with the ballad and that the name of the I arranger does not appear on the I music. The counsel for Leeds Music company played a recording of the ballad in court. Dahl commented that the piece had ‘‘a little” musica! i merit. Questioned about the trial, Dahi i said that he liked jazz but w*as against watered-down classics. “I don't believe in pitching clas-j sical music against popular music, for each has its limitations.” saic !
