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.

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

Elliot. "We play the modern,
flower tempos that the younger
crowd endorses. 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.

Campus Walls
Built To Keep
Cattle Outside
By HILDA ADAMS
Amid the hurry and confusion
of tearing across the campus from
class to class, structures arise be
fore the eyes of hustlers . . and
few students know the history
and tradition of these campus
sights.
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
