Record Data Or Platter Chatter AWIth the touch of summer that's tow in the air, there could be no *iore F-propriate melody wafted on the campus breezes than Perry Como's rendition of "All Through the Day" from the 20th-Century Fox film, "Centennial Summer." Another smash hit in the Como ren dition, this top tune from the tal ented pens of Rodgers and Ham merstein has a smooth melody that is Irresistible. Perry renders the number in an easy, casual manner with deep feelinig while Russ Case and his orchestra flavor the ac companiment with rich, singing strings. The flipover, "Prisoner of Love," hits the romantic bull's eye. There's a poignant appeal to this & old Russ Columbo ditty that will make It once again an a0e favorite along sorority row. A smash new disc for swing fans, and one which will come in handy while "Jamming" Around the house as well as a great number for some loose harmony, is the Henry 'Red" Allen and his orchestra, featuring J. C. Iigginbotham version of "Drink Hearty (But Stay With Your Party)" and "The Crawl." Both these inimitable musicians have won national music polls and are considered front rank performers at their respective trumpet and trombone. The accompanying sex tette, also comprised of outstanding instrumentalists, whip into both these sides with red hot fervor. "Drink llearty" features an amus ing "Red" Allen vocal with an all instrumental on "The Crawl." which pounds out a rousing rhythm. You'll want this platter for your collection. Another ingratiating disc from Tommy Dorsey in the 'Sentimental Gentleman's" easy-going manner, a pair of good tunes that will provide proper sparking for an evening's dancing to the turntable, are *Where Did You Learn to Love?" y and "Come Rain or Come Shine." The latter number. from the new musical, ".91. L.ouls Woman," will be heard from plenty when the show opens on Broadway later this ,* nth. "Where Did You Learn to Love?" features Tommy's trombone while the band boys beat out a well rounded orchestration. Stuart Fos ter sings the vocal in a romantic and winning manner with the Sen timentalists blending voices on the chorus. Sy Oliver renders a low down vocal on the reverse, "Come Rain or Come Shine." while the band swings it out at a slow drag tempo with John Potaker's piano setting an effective, barrel-house mood. Here's a disc that will come in handy If you want to whip into some terpsichorean gymnastics (cu! a rug to you) or just relax back and lend an ear to an inspired three minutes of music making as Freddy A Martin and his orc'hestra play "Now and Forever." That new Number One composer' on the Hiit Parade. Tschaikowsky, supplies the melody for this latest hit tune, adapted from the main theme of the last mnovement of his Sixth Symphony. It's a lovely danceable exposition of the immortal melody to which Artie Wayne contributes an outstanding v'ocal. The flipover, "Bumble Bce gie," is A. brilliant exposition of Jack Fina's keyboard technique on a very c'lev'er arrangement of the Rimsky-Korsakov c'lassie'. "The Flight of the Bumble Bee." That hit tune from the llope Crosby Paramount film frolic. "Road * to ['topia," gets what may wsell be it's most ringy rendition In the version by llelen Carroll with the Satisfiers of "Personalityv." T'his new warbling foursome, who were a sen sat ional hit withi Perry Como on his "Dig You l.ater." come out on their own wit h this solo debutt and display a unique and impressive v'ocal styling which tends itself ideally to the catchy tune. Theu re v'erse sidte, "l.ove' Is So Terrific (Ouch! Tertific Thing)" is a rous ing swintg Itine. rendered in finte style by this exciting voc'al group. At t'lctie Mat. tha Stewart. a Swteetheart of Fraternit y Row,' sings a pair' of pop t unes in a swe'et and wInning way. "Day by D)ay" andI e*Tomot row Is i"ore,ver."

Obituary Mouse, Fed On Diet of USC Students, Dies (By S. L.) There has been a lot said about the mouse and rat situation here on the University campus. Many of the readers of the Gamecocit feel that too much has been said. Let me assure you, that those peo pile troubled by said rodents do not think enough has been said. At any rate, despite conflicting opinions on the subject, the Game cock has decided to print the re suits of a recent survey made by independent students of unpreju diced views. The tests conducted had to do with mice, as you have no doubt guessed. Tenement 20 Much of the publicity about the rate has centered about tenement 20, and I have at last discovered the reason. Despite the complaints of his room-mates, Cliff Hardy has a pet mouse in his room that he feeds daily on lollypops and other delicaci(-s. By pooping through his door, when he thought I wis doing some. thing else, I saw Cliff lay a iolly pop on the floor, turn his back and start counting. When he had leached te, a little brown mouse had coni out of the hole and had Weized the sucker by its wooden stick. By the time Cliff reached 25. the enthe operation had been completed, and the mouse. lolly pop, stick and all had disappeared into the depths. Experiment Wfhen I discussed the matter ns ith both of Cliff's room-mates, hey decided that the:, would use the mouse in an experiment to ben efit the t'river sity and its student bodytt. And since bot h of them are onnected withI the G;amieock staff, t hey have chosen t his medium to eveal t hei nmvemen ts. id Wise. one of the rooml-mat,!es, and a fan,atie on the food situnation a r oind Carolina. en Iit ed Red Ty ler in a thin to trap the mouse u~ hile it was engarged in its for ag ing.
