PROFESSOR EXTRAORDINAIRE:
Duey Recalls Colorful Past

Results of Fraternity Study

By CARA CHERNIAK
He's called "Fabulous Phil" and
it's a name that fits him.
For Prof. Philip Duey of the
School of Music is not an ordinary
professor-in fact being on a Uni-
versity faculty is a relatively new
experience for a man who has
been radio performer, night club
entertainer, broadway and vaude-
ville actor and concert artist.
YOUNGESt OF a family of
eleven, Duey was born in 1901 on
a farm in Macy, Indiana. His
whole family was musical, and in
fact formed their own band, di-
rected by their father.
"I can still remember the first
time I ever sang" Duey recalled
with a smile. "There I was, not
more than four years old, sing-
ing on a bandstand in the vil-
lage square-and scared silly!
The young singer was brought
up in true rural style, educated in
a one-room country school-house.
Later he attended Indiana Uni-
versity where he graduated in
1924 with both a Phi Beta Kappa
key and the highest honor given
for extra-curricular activities.
AFTER RECEIVING a master's
degree in voice Duey got "the big-
gest thrill yet"--a' scholarship to
Juilliard School of Music in New
York.
"But the 'peak' was reached," he
declared, "when I received my PhD
degree from Columbia University."
It was while he was attend-
ing Juilliard that Duey first be-
gan working in Broadway shows,
and more particularly, in radio.
At this time Duey was also a
"crooner" in various New York
night clubs. His favorite occupa-
tion, however, and the one which
took up most of his time was
radio-"a more stable profession,"
Duey said.
For more than 5000 radio broad-
casts Duey did all types of sing-
ing, from the most popular tunes
to opera.
* * * 4
EVEN THE "Hollywood bug" hit
Duey and he was asked to go to
California to appear in the movies.
"But I was too conservative to
give up a bird in the hand in New
York to catch a bird in the bush
in Hollywood," Duey said, "so I
refused the offer."
"And I've never been sorry."
Besides all this, Duey has ap-
peared in vaudeville; two movie
shorts for a well-known movie
company, and has made hundreds
of records, some with Paul White-
man's band.
Within the last two years he has
written a book on the history of
Bel Canto (beautiful singing),
Holiday Airport
Buses Scheduled
Tickets for the Wolverine Club

which describes the soloistic art
of singing in the 17th and 18th
centuries in Italy.
HIS FIRST meeting with Ann
Arbor and the University was 20
years ago -when he appeared be-
fore a packed audience in Hill
Auditorium with the Revelers
Quartet. Duey sang with the
group for two years and says of
tnem almost longingly, "There
never has been another quartet
quite like them."
Duey married "the girl from
back home." His wife grew up
less than half a mile from
Duey's farm. Their son, James,
ahd daughter, Barbara, both are
attending the University. Nei-
ther of them have chosen to fol-
low their father's footsteps in
the music field.
Settling down in a college town
had always been the "long-range
goal" of the Duey family, and so
in 1947 they came to Ann Arbor
to make their present home here.
First, however, Duey went to Co-
lumbia University where he re-
ceived two more degrees.
* *
TO THE MEN'S Glee Club,
which he conducts, Duey is more
than just a professor, or their con-
ductor. To them he's "Fabulous
Phil" and they have reason for
calling him that.
"He's the closest I've seen to
genius," Dick Fran', president
of the Glee Club, said enthusi-
astically.
"He can talk on any subject for
hours, no matter whether he
knows anything about it or not.
In all my four years with the
Glee Club I've never heard him
talk on the same subject twice."

"HE HAS the knack of puttingj
us at ease in any situation. "If
there's tension before a concert,
he can relieve it with a joke. And
if we're not serious enough, one
word from him will put us in the
right frame of mind."
Duey's favorite pastime with
Glee Club men outside of sing-
ing is playing poker.
But after an out-of-town con-
cert Duey and many club members
like to sit around informally and
sing anything that comes to mind.
Perhaps Duey's whole philoso-
phy can be summed up in his own
favorite quotation from John
Reed, who said of Charles Town-
send Copland, a Harvard profes-
sor, "He made us want to do
nothing unworthy."

short ceremony Thursday evening.

'Gag Rule'
Controversy
A "further interpretation" has
ended the three-month contro-
versy over the "gag rule," at Ohio
State, the New York Times report-
ed yesterday.
The "solution" came after their
Faculty Council endorsed the in-
terpretation by the Board of Trus-
tees that hereafter professors
should be responsible for speakers
brought to the campus.
"In case of doubt," the interpre-
tation said, "the faculty member
shall consult with his colleagues
and cause the matter to be refer-
red to his appropriate department
chairman and dean to the presi-
dent's office for advise and ac-
tion."
The interpretation also called
for a nine-member committee on
evaluation to assist
The old interpretation held that
the names of all speakers invited
to appear on the campus must be
submitted to Pres. Bevis' office for
approval.
Cast Chosen
For 'Players'
Aext Dramna
Pat Skinner, '52, has been se-
lected to play Joan of Arc in the
Student Players production of
Maxwell Anderson's "Joan of Lor-
raine."
James E. Brodhead III, '52, will
have the male lead as Jimmy Mas-
ters, the director of the "play
within a play" and the Inquisitor
who condemns Joan to death.
Twenty-one others have been
chosen to perform in the play,
which will have a four perform-
ance run in Lydia Mendelssohn
Theatre beginning February 20.
For those interested in working
on the production staff of "Joan!
of Lorraine," a meeting of all pres-
ent or prospective crew members
is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. tomor-
row in the League.I

(Continued from Page 1)
But realistically, there is
usually some "giving up" or
"being coerced" for everyone in
arriving at a satisfactory solu-
tion in smch an issue. Some must
give up the idea that the solu-
tion can be arrived at tomorrow.
Others must accept that majori-
ty sentiment should prevail, or
must accept that the facts of
their case are weaker than the
other side.
But the majority must always
help the minority make the neces-
sary change rather than attack it
for being "in the wrong."
* * *
LEADERS of the campus organ-
izations which have been con-
cerned with this problem, were in
agreement on one point-the sur-
vey tended to back each one up on
its individual programs.
IFC president Jack Smart
pointed out that the fraternities
do recognize the existence of a
problem-and have designed a
policy "to meet this problem in
the most constructive manner."
"'This unique, IFC-sponsored
survey's findings coincide with the
action we have taken and will con-
tinue taking," Smart declared,
noting that several fraternities
have already been successful in
eliminating bias clauses.
A "forced" change creates a
negative attitude towards discri-
mination, and is not consistent
with our policy of positive educa-
tion and assistance towards this
problem," he said.
ON THE OTHER hand, SL pres-
ident Len Wilcox asserted that
the University community- must
draw the line somewhere on dis-
crimination. Recognizing that dis-

criminatory practices are bad, the
campus may be forced to employ
"coercive" means to work towards
their elimination.
'Although this "coercion may
hurt some who are now ready to
change their admission policies,"
he said, there are many other
houses a long ways from any
real change of heart in this.
These must be pushed along, he
said.
Bill McIntyre, fraternity presi-
dent, former legislator, and an
IFC representative on the study
committee, emphasized that the
survey in itself is no solution.
"If the fraternities consider the
survey as an end in itself, instead
of using it as just a starting point,
then any potential value in the
survey will have been lost."
Bev Clarke, president of Pan-
hellenic Association, felt that a
similar survey might be worth-
while for the sororities. The Re-
search Center had previously in-
dicated their regret that the pro-
ject had not encompassed more of
the campus.
