The campus was a pretty vacant place, to say the least, over this
past weekend. Most of the student body went to our game with
UNC, another portion went to Clemson's game with Maryland, and
the rest were sick!!
b The Sigma Nu's, with Virgil Duffle as chief-arranger, chartered
buses to go to Chapel Hill. Jane McGowan and Happy Cotton, Bobby
Ellis and Toots Tennyson, Makie Griffin and Bubba Whaley, plus
scads more loaded the buses to a capacity limit.
More USC football followers were Margaret Rainey and Ed Mul
lins, and Peg Finley and Joel Townsend.
- Recuperations
,Judy Rhodes should be back with us, although I haven't seen her
since a visit to New Roper hospital where she was recuperating
from an appendectomy. Poor ole Jerry Spann ... . have you seen
him? Jerry wasn't content to have the flue; he had to pass out with
his high temperature and crack his jaw. Even that wasn't the end
of his injuries, he cracked some teeth and broke the roots of some
others. He seems to be getting over it, though.

"FATHER OF BLUI

On a muggy, summer afternoon
late in the 1880's, a young Negro
boy stood outside a saloon near
the St. Louis waterfront. He was
thin and dirty, wore no shoes,
and hadn't even a shirt under his
jacket. He was out of work and
couldn't find another job.
His only possessions in life
were the battered cornet which
he carried under his arm in a
paper bag and the great yearn.
ing for music which filled his
heart. He paussd, watching a
woman stagger out of the bar
she had been trying without suc
cess to ease her grief with heavy
drinking and he heard her moan
"Ma man's got a heart like a
rock cast in de sea." W. C. Handy
never forgot the wretched ex
pression of the woman's face
and, 20 years later, he used hez
lament in one of his own compo
sitions, the "St. Louis Blues."

W. C. taveled up and down
the Muswtig, playing his horn
and doing odd jobs whenever his
music was not in desmand. He
played with the N@udw=sn Cor
net Band, with W. A. Mahara
and His Minstrels, and with the
Knights of Pythias Band of
Clarksburg, Miss. He taught him
self to read music, studied har
mony and arranging, and learned
the fine points of songwriting
and composing.

By 1909, Handy had settled In
Memphis, Tennessee, leading a
dance orchestra and brass con
cert band. He could be found
playing funerals in the morning,
political rallies in the afternoon,
and dances at night. The Handy
band became familiar in every
hick town and whistle stop on the
Yazoo Delta as well as in the
mansions of the rich white folk
of Memphis.
But it was not as a bandleader
that Handy made his largest con
tributions to jazz. Late in 1909,
Memphis witnessed a red-hot,
three-way race for mayor. One
of the candidates asked Handy
to play for his rallies; Handy
-consented and even wrote a song
t honoring the aspiring candidate
that began:
"Mr. Crump don't 'low no easy
riders here
Crump don't 'low no easy
riders here . . ."
Mr. Crump won the electioi
and continued in politics to be
come the fabulous "Boss" Ei
Crump. Handy's song was re
titled later and became famoui
as the "Memphis Blues" - thi
first blues song ever published.

into formal compositions which
retained all of their original
charm and magic. Handy fol

his classic "St. Louis Blues" and
with "Aunt Hagar's Blues," "Yel

are loved by people everywhere.
