No longer associated solely with smoke-filled dingy barrooms, jazz has reached the concert hall. It is enthusiast and the hi-fidelity listener. Prof. Wiley Hitchcock of the School of Music looks at jazz not merely as the evolution of a music fundamentally for dancing and listening but as an "art of impro- visation." Present at Creation "The delight of jazz is being present at the moment of crea- tion," the music literature pro- fessor said. "It is the musician's art of manifesting a spontaneous rapport, between fellow musiicans working together." The popularity of jazz may be ,Z) gauged by its influence and effect on musical interest today. An in- creasing number of books written within the past few years analyze jazz "technically, historically and intellectually," Prof. -itchcock added, "indicating that more and more persons, formerly concerned solely with 'long-hair music' are enthusiastically interested in dis- covering the intricacies of jazz." Jazz's influence on modern American music reflects conscious attempts by composers such as Aaron Copeland and George Gersh- win at one time to incorporate jazz idioms in piano concertos and orchestral music. "Consequently," Prof. Hitchcock continued, "the music became dated.

Boogie Beat Shdrtly before World War II, the boogie beat was popularized by Count Basie and others. After the war, two movements, progressive jazz and be-bop, developed simul- taneously. The huge bands of Stan, Kenton and Woody Herman played dissonance vigorously and called itI "progressive." Meanwhile, a musician named Gillespie was busy cultivating two things - a goatee and be-bop. It was progressive on a small scale. for it had dissonance but the bands were smaller. Within a few years bop had faded. Replacing bop was a "cool," harmonious, less frantic jazz which had originated on the east coast and traveled to the west It was played. by small combos of three and four musicians, many of whom had much background in "serious" music. Among the best known of the groups are Dave Brubeck, Jerry Mulligan, George Shearing and Miles Davis quartets.f Prof. Hitchcock commented that, not everything that people call jazz is really jazz.

Maximum Forces Maximum acceleration forces were 15 G's (15 times the pull of gravity) in the Aerobee and 50 G's in the Cajun. These were reached near the end of the fir- ing, while the force was constant and the mass at its minimum. , Fuel in each rocket accounted for approximately 75 per cent of the weight. Fourteen or fifteen more roc- kets are expected to be fired dur- ing the next year and a half, according to Spencer.
