Turns Down Scholarship It all adds up to a lot of suc cess for a 23-year-old girl who, upon her graduation from high' school five years ago, turned down a scholarship in journalism In order to try for a career in show business-as a dancer, not a singerl After an attack of appendicitis Joni prepared a singing routine to go along with her dance rou tine while recuperating. It was such a tremendous success that she finally dropped dancing com pletely.

Organized in 1951, the Morrow orchestra is also in greater demand for college dances and proms than any other band in the land. Their recordings of "Night Train," "One Mint Julep," and "I Don't Know," and their albums, "Gold en Trombone," "Tribute To A Jane Taylor will sing with orchestra.

Plays Trombone The man who is in front of an orchestra is generally the man who is behind its success, and Buddy Morrow, one of the all time great trombone players, is largely responsible for the suc cess of his aggregation. His great musicianship has been evident through the years when he was featured with leading orchestras like those of Paul Whiteman, Tommy Dorsey, Artie Shaw, and Jimmy Dorsey and as staff mu sician with many of the big radio and television shows. Scholarship to Julliard Upon graduating from high school, Buddy went to New York to try his luck as a musician. Shortly afterward, his roommate persuaded him to audition for a scholarship at the Julliard School of Music. He had not practiced classical exercises for a long time and felt that there was little chance of his winning, so instead of sticking to the music, he im provised. The improvisations were so brilliant that he was awarded the scholarship. Through the years, Buddy Morrow has become so highly re garded in the music world that in 1950 RCA-Victor signed him to form an orchestra and record under his own name. He began experimenting with style and in strumentation and after a year decided to take the band on the road. Their first engagement was at Atlantic City's Steel Pier in August, 1951, followed by an ex tensive one-nighter tour. Versitility From the very beginning, Buddy Morrow has always in sisted that a band must have versatility. That is why his or chestra is organized along lines that give it the elasticity to meet almost every musical situation. They can play college dances one night and smart country clubs the next, elegant hotel rooms and popular ballrooms; or a two-hour jazz concert for non-dancing au diences. Their repertoire embrace the whole spectrum of popular music from early dixieland, rhythm and blues, and intricate ballads to full progressive jazz interpretations. Next Year Leventis says that plans for next year's Greek Week will be gin as soon as this year's festivi ties end. This year a general election among the fraternities was held in order to see how much money the Greeks wanted to in vest in Greek Week. From this election IFC decided entertain ment for the whole week. Sullivan Revises Christmas Story For Easter Frank Sullivan, the Saratoga sage, is so bedazzled with the success at Christmas time of "A Moose In The Hoose," that he has fresh dreams of conquest for his b)rainchild. "How would it be," he pro poses to his publishers at Random House, "if I rewrote the "Moose" for the Easter market, changing the moose to a bunny ? Then we could rewrite it again, substitut ing Uncle Sam for comparable character of Russell Crouse in the original, for the Fourth of July trade. Let's not overlook the political angle either. Let's dem onstrate that the moose is really one of the major presidential candidates, who will get stuck in the chimney next November, and be beaten before he landslides down." Special 65c MONDAY Russell Hous Continer Mimi Palat models a Madras a Hampton College. The large-ch4 and tab front enhances the cas by Jim Simons.) Coeds Favo Plaids For ! BY LEE JORDON Fashion Reporter Madras-is it one of fashion's whims or is it here to stay? Most Carolina girls lean toward the latter, but whether you like it or not it's here. Spring will bring the big invasion. Madras is a cotton fabric, handwoven in pit looms of na tive dye and spun yarns in the small villages of rural India. The results are extremely individual istic patterns and no two lengths of cloth are exactly alike. The colors are derived from vegetable dyes that are not chem ically treated, hence they lack commercial color fastness. With each washing, the colors will bleed slightly causing subtle and mellow color changes. As a re sult of this "bleeding" the cloth is softer in color and touch, and more beautiful each time. Slubs, or running s u r f a c e threads, which might be consid ered flaws in other fabrics are inherent in Madras and add to the natural beauty of the cloth. The small plaids are in muted shades of green, brown, gray, blue, red and yellow. They lend themselves well to the "Ivy" look and mannish tailoring. Men's Stores Sell Madras Madras sport clothes for women are to be found in most Colum bia stores; even several men's stores. Does this startle you? The men's stores say it's a com panion idea. Madras is a tradi tional Indian fabric and there fore fits into their buying policy. The clothes also have the same styling and tailoring as their men's clothing. If you like things that are just a little bit different then Madras is for you. There is an infinite number of styles and color combinations from which you may choose. A shirtwaist fancier? You have a choice of shirtwaists in soft, unpressed pleats or sheath. Collars are either button-down or the everpresent Peter Pan. You may choose either a tab front or one that buttons to the henm. Most of the dresses have woven straw belts but the self belt is occas ionally seen. Man Tailored Most of the skirts are man tailored sheaths with a side pocket and kick-pleat. A few pleats are to be found usually boxed and stitched to the hip. The majority of the shorts and long pants have gone "continen tal," all are man-tailored with either western or slash pockets. A few even feature a buttoned hip pocket. The shorts come in either Jamaica or Bermuda lengths. The plaids seen in shorts and long pants are usually Luncheon - FRIDAY s Cafeteria ital Look q iirtwaist dress in front of Wade 'eked plaid, button-downs collar, -al beauty of the dres%. (Photo r Madras spring brighter than those used for the dresses and skirts. Shirts are fashioned with slits at the hem and can be worn in or out. Here again there is the choice of Peter Pan or button down collar. Most of the shirts have tab fronts and all have three-quarter, roll-up sleeves. Blazers and suits are a rarity but can be found. They are all tailored in the best school-boy tradition. Bslazers and coats are fully lined to prevent stretching or sag. Madras itself should be differ ent enough for most of us, but if you are a creature of whims you can have a Madras watchband, helt or hat. That should put some sparkle into your wardrobe. High Prices The price range of these clothes is, well, stee); dresses, $22.50-25; skirts, $10.95-14.95; shorts, $8.95 12.95; shirts, $5.95-9.95. If you think these prices are too high (the girls interviewed did) you might like to sew your own. Madras (an be found in several Columbia stores for about $1.19 a yard. If you have a friend in Puerto R ica, good, Madras costs only 50c a yard there. What do Carolina girls think of Madras? Those interviewed agreed it was too expensive for the (quality' of the material, but they' like it nevertheless. Those who like things that are different pick Madras because it's new and novel. Others like the smuart mannish tailoring. Madras travels well a n d doesn't require mnuch care. J1ust remember it "bleedls" and wash it sep)arately. Explanation Of Freezes By Graham Professor G. R. Graham of the geograpthy department s a y a s.prmig comes in surges, with spells of warm, sunny weather mnterspersed with colder periods, and as a rule there is at least one unusually cold spell. Our most reliable guide con cerning freezes is the Weather Bureau records which tell us the av'erage (late of the last killing spring frost. A zonal map for the United States shows that Zone A is the region along the Gulf of Mexico and northward along the Atlantic coast to a point just south of Savannah, Ga. On the average frost does not occur later than March 1 in Zone A. A small sector in the southern coastal corner of South Carolina (Zone B) is usually f r ee of damaging frost by the middle of March. Zone C in which the last frost comes between March 15 and April 1 covers the greater por tion of the state. Frost is expe rienced normally in the northern counties until mid-April (Zone D)), and another small area in the northwestern corner near the Blue Ridge Mountains may suf fer frost damage later than April 15. Spring moves slowly poleward from northern Florida in Feb. until it finally arrives in north ern Maine about mid-June. It requires about three months for the line of average last frost to migrate from the Gulf Coast to the Great Lakes.
