Kenton Concert To Reopen Argument Over Jazz Styles (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first in a series on the history and devel- opment of Jazz.) By JEAN RUSS The appearance of Stan Kenton and his orchestra in a concert on May 6 in Hill Auditorium under the sponsorship of the Hot Rec- ord Society will bring to this cam- put one side of the biggest argu- ment in hot music today. The controversy between Ken- Pearl Buck's 'Good Earth' Will Be Shown In answer to popular demand r, shown in a recent poll, "The Good Earth" will be presented at 8 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday in Kellogg Auditorium. "The Good Earth," film ver- sion of Pearl Buck's Nobel Prize- winning novel, dramatizes the fundamental struggle of man against nature on the plains of China. Dramatic photographic scenes include the storm which threatens to destroy Wang's first crop, the rioting and looting in South China, and the terrifying plague of locusts which affords the final climax. Luise Rainer, as O-lan the slave-girl, is the "personification of beauty and strength of char- acter." Miss Rainer received the Academy Award for her perform- ance in the film. Paul Muni plays the part of Wang, her husband. Tickets for the film will go on sale at 10 a.m. tomorrow in Uni- versity Hall. The film is being co-sponsored by the Art Cinema League and the IRA. ton's "progressive jazz" and Louis Armstrong's modern Dixieland highlights the difference between improvisation and technical skill in the world of popular music. Basically, the argument is this: Kenton believes music must be played scientifically while Arm- strong argues for improvisation. Grounds for Argument The grounds for this argument between. Kenton and Armstrong were laid at the very beginnings of jazz in America. Jazz had its origin in two places, Africa and France. It's foundation is the combination of French melodies and slaves' songs. As it was played then along the Mississippi, it was based on the group mood and was played with- out the aid of written music. Played in Barrel-Houses This form of jazz, known as the "Original Dixieland," was first played in the barrel-houses and honkey-tonks of Storyville, the red-light district of New Orleans. The standard combination was cornet, clarinet, trombone, and any two of a number of rhythm instruments. In a set-up such as this the cornet played lead mel- ody while the clarinet played a more delicate melody and the trombone played a third melody. It also furnished the rhythm base for the clarinet and cornet. March Time The rhythm itself was invaria- bly played in 2-4, marching time, or 4-4. The key note of the style of the original Dixieland was complete improvisation for all work. Very few of the musicians could read music. As a result they played according to the mood of The New Orleans period ended in 1917 when the Navy closed Storyville. This brought the great migration of jazz to the North.

Speech Cinic Is Hot Spot of TherapyWork Three Groups Used In Teacher Training By LILIAS WAGNER One of the busiest places in the scope of campus activities is the speech clinic, where teachers and students are working with three groups of patients. The first group is made up of 20 men, most of whom received brain injuries during the war. They are being treated for aphasic symptoms, which include diffi- culties in understanding word symbols, thinking of them, or ut- tering them. Getting Asquainted These men help each other to become acquainted with the sur- roundings and to feel at home when they first arrive. They par- ticipate in their own club meet- ings and have an opportunity to apply what they are learning about correcting their individual speech problems. Last month a party was held which provided further chance for the men to plan and to be part of actual social funtions. The second group is composed of children of primary school age who have several types of speech problems. They are from differ- ent parts of the state. Last Group Arrives Recently the influx of new pa- tients was completed with the ar- rival of another adult group, whose problems include stuttering and cleft plate. These three sections are part of the teacher-training program provided in speech correction, and also serve in the research pro- gram, which at present is investi- gating group dynamics in speech therapy. Members of the directed teach- er-training division are working with the children as laboratory subjects, while the aphasics are part of the graduate laboratory program. The other adult group is under the clinical methods class for students in the teacher-train- ing program.
