“Jazz Goes to College" comes to SC. Dave Brubeck and his | quartet will present a concert I of modern jazz tonight at 8:30 in Rovr rd Auditorium. Ticket prices are $1.50 for first and second balcony and S2 for floor and orchestra seats.
Brubeck. along with his cohorts, Paul Desmond, Norman 1 Rates ard Toe Morelio, will i bring to SC some of the nation's I outstanding jazz. Among Bru- j bec!:’s credits are piano study | under Darius Milhaud, the first j Time Magazine cover story on ; any jazz musician and “Jazz I Goes to College,” one of the most successful record albums of its kind to be pressed in several years.
Recently, because of his almost universal fame, the U. S. State Department asked Bru-be-'k to conduct a world concert tour as an aid in disseminating native American art forms, such as jazz, throughout the rest of th'-* world.
Dave Brubeck. a native Californian. was raised on a cattle ranch and was halfway through college before he decided to make jazz music his life’s work. Following 'his discharge froif the Army and his study under Milhaud, > Rrubeck began to experiment with a jazz group at various night clubs in the San ( Francisco area.

SC s Health Center is deing “everything possible" to obtain a supply of vaccine to offset a threatened epidemic of Asian flu this fall, Dr. Paul O. Greely, director of the infirmary said yesterday.
“It may be a month or sooner.” he said, “but we haw already ordered and have been | promised the vaccine just as i soon as it is available.”

I such. Diagnosis, he said, is a difficult and lengthy process, j I and to date there ha\e been no I reports of any distinctive single symptom.
The vaccine supply is limit- J j ed, despite the record speed of | production and development. It j i is expected to be more available j j later in the fall.
Set* .No Mass Absences Dr. Greely said he expected j no mass absences from classes ; due to the Asian virus, unless I the severity of the disease in- I | creases. Reports from epidemic areas ¡n the Middle and Far j East have not indicated increasing virulence.
The vaccine, Dr. Greeley emphasized, is the only known protection against the menacing virus, which has already been ; reported near epidemic stage in parts of the South, the Middle i West and Northern California. |
However, the director did warn against over-exertion and fatigue as precautions against in- j
