Calcott Criticizes Presidential View In Spy Hearings President Truman's stand on the congressional spy hearings is not a healthy attitude, Prof. W. H. Calcott of the University of South Carolin-, said today. "It is extremely unfortunate that the president continues to re fer to the investigation as a "red herring." Facts don't seem to agree with his opinion, and he is left in a rather bad light." Testimony which has been taken seems to indicate that there was a dangerous lack of security in some branches of the government. Why the president would want to hide this fact is not clear, but his po sition is lowering the dignity of his office, the history teacher said. "Acts of disloyalty are impor tant no matter when they were committed. These cases now before the un-American committee are anywhere from six to ten years old. Even though they are too old to be prosecuted to the limit, they should still be revvaled com pletely." Continued attempts to snipe at investigating groups in congress lead to a lowering of prestige. Congressmen are perfectly nat ural in being motivated by several reasons in doing anything. When one person consistently hits them from the same angle, he is in a weak position, Calcott declared. 'To be valuable, criticism must be clear and fully explained from every viewpoint. Only then is it worthy of the person making it. This axiom has seemingly been forgotten by the president in every one of his public statements. Politics are no doubt mixed in with the motives of the investiga tors. Such a charge is of little consequence when balanced against the genuine sincerity and alarm of these men. Any one who says that political profit is the only purpose aus veey dim vision, Cal cott said. Since the cases now under in vestigation occurred several years ago, somebody else could very properly take the blame, Calcott j iqted out. Truman hasn't said one w'ord 1bout the responsibility of Roosevelt or any oe ae.

Williams of Orangebi Band Leaders I Ills Thought T< By The Bands Several name bandleaders are out to cure the ills that exist in the dance business. Paying par ticular attention to college engage ments, these progressive maestri have been collecting information from dancers and buyers wher ever they appear. The consensus of opinion is that whatever prob lem exist was brought on by the bands themselves. Showing the way during recent months have been trumueter Ray Anthony and pianist Elliot Law rence, the latter an all-time prom favorite. Both leaders claim that they 'ngmn- tjoad the answer to successful campus engagements. Anthony, with 41 prom dates in 1948 and Lawrence, with 89, are fully qualified to speak on the subject. Says Anthony, "You have got to provide more than just music. The days when 19 guys sat on a bandstand and played for their own amusement are over. From now on we'll have to please the dancers." Lawrence is unquestionably the prom leader among all name bands. "The greatest reason I can give for my band's success on prom dates is our steady beat," says HE nev Th V mal He ph< hit Make the ~...a x s vaomecoc4t Council i association. The above picture v d A.

Yet we play jazz, good jazz, and feature some inter asting arrangements that make use of woodwinds and French horn." Anthony and Luwrence are not the only bandleaders who have been keeping tabs in dancing trends. Ray McKinley has claimed that "the college dancers have consistently set the trends." Bay adds that "the college students are beat judges of modern music." Johnny Long, wfno started his band at Duke University, has been 4..LPding prom favorite for years. Quoth Long-, '%L I.ston taking an interest in what the people want and start playing what my persona! tastes might be, it will be time to write an epitaph to the career of one Johnny Long." Hal McIntyre says "Let's cut the comedy and settle down. Real jazz belongs in the concert halls. All I'm interested in selling is dance music, entertainment, tempo and melody." "More thm4. 2,600 dance daites including, over 500 in colleges have taught me that the public likes to dance and wvants to dance," says Jimmy Dorsey.

The history of some is very in teresting. Take for example the wall, parts of which can still be seen standing. The wall runs along Pendleton street and parts of it remain between Davis and the law building and on around to Preston. As early as 1807, the trustees thought that the erection of a wall around the college buildings would be a great aid to the faculty in preserving good order and deco runi among students, and also that it would keep cattle from leisurely wandering onto the campus. No progress, however, was made at that time toward the construction of a wall and instead a board fence was built. The wall was not mentioned again until 1835, when the com mittee on college repairs reported that, "the air of dilapidAtivn Ind decay which the ragged wood fences about the colleges always presented induced the committee to make contracts for a brick wall to surround the whole col nine inches in height and of such thickness as would insure dura bility." During the Civil war the wall was severely damaged. There were large openings in it through which horses and wagons contin ually passed and trampled the THE RIC FAMOUS FOR HOR Hours -- Monday / BREAKFAST LUNCH.
