Of course the bigness is stereo, but for you lads and las sies who lack the herewithal to nake the suddeT4, rather expen sive plunge into the twin tracks, here are some fine monaural discs. "Waltzes . but by Cugat." (CL 1143). Neither waltzes nor Cugat, but it's really a good list. enable rehash of some old stand ards. If you are a Strauss waltz listener, I can't guArantee you will like this. Cugat manages to inject a Latin American feeling into most of them, which, surpris ingly enough, blends well. For my money "Fascination" is the best cut, the orchestra manages to keep this teff-jerker from be ing totally maudlin. All in all, this is a good album, especially if you like Cugat. Too bad Abbe Lane didn't make an appearance. Soft and Low A good swinging rendition of Here .Lies Love is the highlight of Frankie Laine's "Torchin". This guy is a night club singer if nothing else. He gets some fine whrm sounds on I Cover the Waterfront. As the jacket says, this is mood music, a type of musical melancholia, as it were. To sum it up: this is a good change from the earth-shaking, rafter rattling performances us ually put out by Frankie. Not bad, not bad at all. (CL 1157). Helped along the comeback trail by Ray Ellis and some real ly satiny stings, Billie Holiday's Dance Held For New Students On Tuesday night the new stu dents had a chance to become acquainted with one another at the annual new student mixer dance. Music was provided by Tony Torre and his 13-piece band between 9:00 p.m. and 12:00 mid night at the Russell House. The informal dance was sponsored by the Student Government, while Slater System provided refresh ments. Sigma Nu's Hold Campus Drop-In Tonightt Sigma Nu social fraternity will entertain all students at a Campus-Wide Drop-In. From 7 until 9 p.m. all students will be welcome to dance to the music of a combo, to greet old friends and meet new ones. This year Hleyward Hornsby as sisted by RIussel Shaw, social chairman, will he in charge of the Drop-In. See Y'all at th~e Sigma Nu House tonight at 7. wvas wvell wvorth the long trip, and all voiced a desire to come back. Many new friends were madle, and the fraternal bonds of Chi Psi became more signifi cant than ever. ESTAU RANT (oEl Avenue ding Restaurant" I'Y ROOMS ons From 8 To 175 Chops, Dinners a Foods E LOBSTERS RNCAiTY oORDS Summer Bledsoe nalyst "Lady In Satin" Is a real fine vocal jazz offering. It takes an artist to sing the blues, and in this group of well arranged bal lads, Billie shows just that art istry. Though not as smooth as Ella, or as husky as Julie Lon don (that's a drawback?), she strikes a medium that is indeed happy. A word about Mr. Ellis Though it would be unfair to Miss Holiday to say that he made the album, one slip on his part could have darn well un-made it. ,Bou quets to the right talented M. Ellis. (CL 1157). New in Sounds Now for the winner. This is one of the finest, funniest, and most downright enjoyable of all albums that I've heard in quite a spell. It's "The Four Freshmen in Person". (Capitol TL 008). They provide their own accom paniment, and tie the whole per formance together with a fast line of really funny patter. The thing tliat keeps the whole thing from being the purest corn is that the guys on stage are having as much fun as the audience. They swing out with Somebody Loves Me, and end up with Mr. B's Blues. In between there is some real solid harmony plus same equally nonsensical items. You've got to hear "Sweet Lorriane" to believe it. Man, with the Inter national situation what it is, taxes, and all that jazz, this is one five spot ($4.98 plus tax) that will return plenty of laughs forty-five minutes of solid relax ation. And you "can't hardly get them no more." Sigma Chi's Attend Convention Six members of Carolina's Sig ma Chi Chapter attended the 11th annual Sigma Chi National Leadership Training Workshop held at DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana, August 23 through 27.
