Huge Crowd Packs
Guion J azz Show
Cootie Williams, his sextet and
the Ink Spots played to a stand
ing- room only crowd in Guion Hall
last night, as more than 1800 per
sons packed into the modern music
concert.
Williams and his wild aggrega
tion set a fire under the audience
* i/ith their interpretations of mod-
irn music.
Cootie himself opened the two-
hour long show with a trumpet
i.olo of the late Bunny Berigan’s
famed blues song “I Can’t Get
Started.”
For many people in the audience,
it was their first introduction to
“bop”, as the music is known to
the musicians, and its forms. They
evidently liked what they heard,
as applause was deafening after
each number.
“Blues” Vocalist
Eddie Mack, vocalist for the
sextet, gave a good account of
himself with blues songs straight
from Beale and Basin Street bar
rooms.
^ Some of Mack’s songs were “One
More Bottle of Beer,” “I Love My
Baby,” and “Red Hot Mama.”
All of these were sung in the
« high, loud voice of the Negro blues
man.
Another of Cootie’s crowd scor
ing a hit with the packed house,
was Sylvester Austin, whose saxo
phone stylings had the audience
breathless. Sylvester forced his
sax into ranges many did not think
possible for that instrument.
Cootie himself was just short
of great on the trumpet he brand
ished before the stamping, whistl
ing crowd; he made the brass

horn “speak” in a language all its
own.
The sextet played such jazz
tunes as “Castle Rock”, “Perdido,”
and “Echoes of Harlem.”
The Ink Spots quai'tet entered
the scene midway in the first part
of the show. From then on, the
stage was bouncing with the
combined talents of both groups of
music-makers.
Ink Spots Familiar
The first number the Ink Spots
sang was “Java Jive,” whose “I
love coffee, I love tea,” theme was
familiar to many in the audience.
Jimmy Holmes and Ivory (Deek)
Watson carried the melody in the
quartet, with tall, Harold Jackson
and guitarist Charlie Fuqua mak
ing the rhythm.
Jackson, a deep-voiced, vibrating
bass, was an audience favorite with
his choruses rendei-ed in narrative
style.
From student activities’ stand
point, the performance was one of
the more successful in their his
tory, topped only by Bob Hope or
Spike Jones shows of past years.

The non-military mess hall will be opened soon said Bob

Hazing Appro ved
In Student Poll
By JOE HIPP
Battalion News Staff
Aggies prefer “hazing” ac
cording to an opinion poll conduct
ed yesterday.
More than 130 questions wei’e
asked in determining the results
of the poll. A comparable repre
sentation from all classes wexe
asked.
As a means of punishment for
bx-each of discipline, “hazing” is
the only solution, several students
said. The abolishment of this cus
tom can result only in the “down
fall’ of the corps.

BACK FROM KOREAN FRONT
Vet Blasts American Public
By ED HOLDER
A&M x-eceived some of the first
Korean veterans to entex- college
at the beginning of the semestex-.
One of these new students is
Byron A. (Scotty) Parham of
Company A, Thix-d Regiment.
A little over a month ago,
Scotty was a sex-geant fix-st class
in the Army signal cox-ps, station
ed at Camp Breckenridge, Ky. Like
many of the other vetex-ans, Scot
ty x-eturned fx-om Kox-ea on the
Ax-my’s rotation system a few
months ago after mox-e than 18
months service in Korea. Px-iox-
to going to Koxea, he served 13
months of occupation duty in
Japan.
Straight
From Tennessee
A gx-aduate of Milby High
School in Houston, Scotty enlisted
in the Ax-my in December, 1948.
Although xegistex-ed from Tenn
essee, Scotty claims Houston as
his home and Jackson, Tenn., as
his official home.
In Korea, Scotty sex-ved first
with the signal section, Headquar-
texs, EUSAK and then with the
24th Signal Company, 24th Infan
try Division. While with the 24th
Division, he received the Disting
uished Unit Citation, the Republic
of Korea Distinguished Unit Cita
tion, and the Bx - onze Star Medal
with Valor Clasp.
Scotty also holds the Army Good
Conduct Medal, Korean Campaign
Medal with seven campaign stars,
and the United Nations Medal.
When asked about the Bx-onze
Star Medal, Scotty just grinned
axxd replied, “I was wher-e I
shouldn’t have been—got chewed
out good for it too.” A checkup
showed he received the award for
preventixxg important dispatches
from falling into enemy hands af
ter being ambushed by guex-illas.
“Many people don’t think Am-
exican soldiexs should be in Ko
x-ea”, Scotty remarked in reply to
questions on what he thought of
the situation over there. “But I
think we do,” he said, “we are
there in defense of the United Na
tions as our vax-ious allies. We
have every right to be thex-e.”
Boundary of Democracy
“That line acx-oss Korea,” Par
ham continued, “is the boundax-y
of democracy. Should the UN leave
Kox-ea, that boundax-y would come
just that much closer to us. Sux-e,
it’s on the other side of the
Pacific, but with the px-esent and
futuxe speed of air, land, and sea
vehicles, that width means little.
We have to stop the encroach
ment of the Communists. It’s stop
it now or have it hit us in our
homes later.”
When asked what he thought of
the “states” after three yeax-s ovex--
seas, he replied, “Natux-ally it
looked wondex-ful, but I think the
first thing those of us x-eturning
thought of was the chaxxge. Not
necessaxily the new style cax-s or
modex-n honxes, but the genex-al
attitude toward what we were
lucky enough to live thx-ough.
Lack of Understanding
“In fact,” Scotty said “many
of us wex*e embittex-ed at the lack
of undex-standixxg of just what
was going on.. To us, it seemed
that some people hax-dly knew that
we wex-e fighting the fix-st battle
for the sux-vival of democracy.
“Having seen a part of this
world, I decided to go to college
in older to receive training which
would benefit me and the United
States. I’d like to go back into
government service because I be
lieve the United States and the
world have much to sell to each
other once we get to know one an-
othex-.”
intexpreted as a Texas vote against
her tidelands and her annexation
agx-eement.
“Stevenson has told us flatly he
favors the fedei-al government tak
ing these lands and that he will
give us nothing but a compx-omise
consisting of whatever percentage
of the revenue he thinks we should
have,” Daniel said.
“Gen. Eisenhower says he Vill
uphold the Texas annexation
agx-eement and pex-mit the Con-
gx-ess to x-estore our lands to our
public school fund.
Stevenson Against Texas
“If we tux-xx down Gen*. Eisen
hower and vote for Mi-. Steveixson
under these cix-cumstances, you caix
be sure that Mx\ Stevenson will
xxse our action against us in fight
ing for federal ownership of our
tidelaxxds.”
He pounded at the Denxocx-atic
Party’s volleys at party disloyalty
in Texas.
“When thousaixds of Anxex-ican
boys ax-e being shot at in Kox-ea,
when we ax-e witxxessixxg the gi'eat-
est waste, the biggest spending,
axxd the most cox-x-uption, axxd all
the Tx-uman crowd can do in this
state is ruxx ax-ound and talk about
px-ospex-ity and pax-ty loyalty, it is
high time that we voted this ad-
ministx-ation out of office.
“They axe playing Texaxxs for a
bunch of chumps, and you know
it.”
Texas Tradition Hit
He punched at Texas traditioxx
for voting Democx-atic.
“Thexe ax-e some axxxong xxs, I
x-egret to say, who hold that you
axxd I have no fx-eedonx of choice
on election day.
“They insist that our votes were
moxtgaged by our fox-efathex-s to
the xxational Democxatic Pax-ty.”
Daniel said he accepts xxo such
obligation.
Daxxiel hurled a new blast at
Txuman’s administration.
“Do you thiixk all of the crooked
ness axxd sxxbversion has come to
light yet?” he asked.
Ike Woix’t Cover
“I thiixk oxxe of the xnain x-easons
Px-esidexxt Tx-uman wants his hand
picked fx-iends to take over the ex
ecutive depaxtment is becaxxse he
knows that a new adxxxinistx-ation
under Dwight D. Eisenhower will
xxot cover up and hide what they
find after he is goxxe.”
Daniel chided foxxxxer Atty.-Gen.
William McCraw of Dallas, who
has beexx speaking for Stevenson.
