Dave   Brubeck,   the   famous
jazz artist, will play for a jam
session tonight at 7  o'clock in j
the Fieldhouse. '
Tickets may be bought from j
any Greek or at the door,
Brubeck was born December
6, 1920, in California. His
mother and two older brothers
were musicians and managed to
indoctrinate him with a knowledge of basic harmony before
his rebellion against formal musical education.
Dave   graduated   from   the
College of the Pacific in 1942.
He then enlisted in the Army
and was sent to France with
Pation's Third Army.  It was
there that ihe quartet had its
real beginnings.
A group of students formed a
workshop band for experimentation. The group later came to
be known as the Dave Brubeck
Octet.
In 1951, Paul Desmond joined
the group and the famed Brubeck Quartet wa.s born.
The Quartet, which has won
more top honors than any other
group in the country in the last
five years, is credited with
strongly influencing musicians '■
in the development of contem-'
penny jazz. i
Since the Quartet signed with
Columbia Records  in  1952, the;
public has bought more of their
records than of any other jazz:
group.
The   Brubeck   Quariei   has   i
been named Ihe top jazz band   !
in  the   country.  Time   magazine   recently   honored   Brubeck   by   a   cover   story,   ihe
second  ever  given  to  a  jazz
artist.
In  1954, Brubeck was chosen
Jazz   Personality   of   the   Year I
and for the last  two years, the,
quartet has been listed  as  the
best combo in the nation by the
Playboy Poll.
Brubeck h a s appeared al
Carnegie Hall, the New York
Jazz Festival and the Stratford
Shakespearean Festival in Canada. He has also been on the Ed
Sullivan Show. Timex Jazz
Show, Steve Allen Show, Monitor. Omnibus, and the Colgate
Comedy Hour.
Brubeck   has   also   played  at
almost every major college and
university in the United States.
Following   the   jam   session.

' means lovely night. I
Four CMU students were expelled and 18 more were put on
social probation last week for
illegally possessing alcholic
beverages, according to Dean
of Students, Daniel Sorrells.
The University drinking rule
stems from the state law stating
that it is unlawful for anyone
under 21 years of age to possess
or drink alcholic beverages.
Sorrells said that the ratio of
students on social probation to
the whole of the student body
was 1 out of 28 last year. More
than half of these involved
drinking.
The Mt. Pleasant Municipal
Court since May 7, has collected
S375 from CMU students, for
liquor law violations stated
Municipal Court Clerk, Irma
Moore.
The Dean is keeping his "get
tough and stay tough" policy
regarding drinking and he intends to continue to be "tough"
on violators. He pointed out
that the University is held responsible for the conduct of its
students including violations of
liquor laws.

The last meeting of the Student-Faculty   Advisory   Council
for this year met last Thursday
night.   This   was  also   the   last
council for the graduating student leaders who have attended
the   meetings   this   year.   The
| meeting   was   preceded   by   a
j banquet for the Council.
{       A    student    asked    if    the
others   attending   the   council
meeting   had   become   aware
of   the  "Student   apathy"   to-
;  ward   Central;   if   ihe   others
;   had  noticed  thai many Cen-
*   tral students run the insliiu-
1   lion   down   instead   of   being
'   proud    of    it    and    bragging
I   about it.
After much discussion the ad-
, ministration   pointed   out   that
other  than  the  joking   that  is
! usual    among    students    about
most subjects  and  a few  who
grabbed    at    opportunities    to
show disloyalty, the majority of
the student body was proud of
Central and defended its name.
About the same topic, Presi-
: dent Foust suggested that along
j with being open to faults of the
! institution    what    Centralites
should be made more aware of
i the   good   points   and   achieve-
j ments of Central. Be aceentuat-
| ing the positive, the student at-
! titude' would   eventually   have
j the hope for pride and loyalty
genuinely    instilled    in    themselves.
i
]      Topics of previous meetings
:   were discussed by the council
i   and brought io ihe group's ai-
'   iention for  a review. Among
j   the topics reviews and briefly
!   discussed again was "The use
of the new Student Center io
improve    relationships,    mor-
cle, etc."
Mr. Lichtenfelt, head of the
food commons, cleared up a
misunderstanding about the
new Union by explaining that
; there is to be no special faculty
I smoking room set aside in the
new building as some students
®l /L®p%
had heard rumors about.
The privilege of residence
halls to invite one faculty-
couple to dinner each week was
discussed again. Many students
seem to be unaware that they
can have a guest couple once
a week and many students or
corridors don't take this opportunity to learn more about their
instructors and their fields.

At Monday night's Student
Senate meeting, Lem Tucker
reported on the Student Administrative Advisory Council
meeting held May 12 in Keeler
Union.
Tucker said that the meeting
was "designed as a mutual admiration society". He further
added that nothing was accomplished. Administrators were
evasive toward many questions
concerning student problems
brought forth by the students
present, Tucker said.
The treasurer reported that
S6073.71 was appropriated for
this year, S5601.60 was spent,
leaving a balance of S472.ll.
Tom Fitch told of the lack of
interest in the Lecture Series in
his Educational Awareness report. A total of 83 people attended the six lectures, an
average of about 14 people per
lecture. He suggested that the
name be changed, for he felt
that "the word lecture has an
unfavorable connotation".
The question of roll taking in
classes was discussed and referred to next year's Senate.
"C e n t r a 1 Myth-igan" was
chosen by the Senate to be next
year's Homecoming theme.
Betty Shield and Roberta Cook
submitted the winning entry.

BY  CHARLES  COFFMAN
It's difficult to decide where
to start in reviewing The Solid
Gold Cadillac. The play, which
was performed by the honorary
dramatic society Alpha Psi
Omega, climaxed a varied and
intribuing "theatre season".
The season started last November with the historical love
story Love is Eternal and was
followed in January with Sidney Kingsley's drama Detective
Story.
The fall semester which
suggested a fairly serious
note was followed by two
comedies in ihe spring in
which George S. Kaufman
had a hand.
First Lady in April was followed last weekend by the production CMU theatregoers had
been waiting for in restless anticipation. The reader Wants to
know what we thought of The
Solid Gold Cadillac? Was it
good?
It was good—we knew it
would be! Alpha Psi Omega
has the talent. It was simply a
matter of picking a play to fit
the group (not really so simple).
We've been watching most of
this lalcnt throughout this
1959-60 school year, either on
the stage, working on a production crew or direcling in the
various class productions or the
Freshman One-Act Palys.
Last    weekend    the    talent
thai    we've    been    watching
gain    experience    this    year
(and  the   past  two  or  three)
got   their    first    chance    this
year to show iheir stuff. And
Ruih Wimmer, a Detroit senior  in ihe  lead role  of  Mrs.
Laura    Partridge,    stole    the
show.
Miss Wimmer played the little old lady who took the backing of her 10 shares to the annual stockholders meeting.
This writer has one share of
common stock in a southern
Indiana pharmacutical firm,
but he doubts if he had 100
shares—he'd be able to (or
have the nerve to) raise as
much cain as little Mrs. Partridge did.
Miss Wimmer's performance
was as steady as any seen this
year, along with showing more
versitility than many more
"typed" roles in the play.
Donald Wesibroolc, Floyd
Holland, Gary Keefer and
Peter   Conarty,   the   amiable
board of directors who had
the misfortune to encounter
Mrs. Partridge at one of their
meetings, were as near perfect as one could hope for.
They worked together very
well.
And our old friend Keill
Titus was there as "the man
with the important Washingtor
position," Ed McKeever. As
long as plays with type parts
are produced, Mr. Titus wil]
have a job—one with top billing. His ability to dominate the
action, without having the actual lead, may someday get
(the lead) for him.
To not mention Mary Ann
Cottrell, Bill Lovelace, Jan'
Wray Campbell or Joan Westbrook would be to forget to acknowledge the smooth unity of
the production.
And Donna Chilvers was the
gal who made the evening complete. She was a must—especially from the "top" window.
Time and space limits us
from mentioning more, hut we
know it took the cooperative
work of the entire drama fraternity not forgetting Mr. Bush
and Dr. Hammack to make Alpha Psi's Cadillac SOLID
GOLD,
