Near the top of the commercial tunes parade is "My Heart Cries For You", done more uncommer-cially than most by Bill Farrell. Russ Case's orchestra and chorus provide cavernous echo effects in the background and also aid the situation on the backing, "You Love Me." Farrell does this one in a hesitating, jostling manner. In case you haven't already heard them, Errol Garner's "How High the Moon" and "Poor Butterfly" are tremendous-julep-toned. You are familiar with the tune "Jet", heard until the present time as an instrumental. Nat King Cole gives the tune new significance with his vocal performance. You may expect to be smothered in the velvety-low voicy and surges of airiness by the Les Baxter chorus and orchestra. The backing is a philosophic, Nature Boy type tune which, incidentally has a truly lovely melody. George Shearing, of the mint-smooth quintet, has come up with another high scoring duo. The first is "Roses of Picardy", done with a chorus or two of straight stuff and once more through fancifully. "Pick Yourself Up" is a quick-paced tune, florescently toned by Chuck Wayne's smooth guitar. "Classics in Rhythm" is the title of Les Brown's newest album. Those with a strong taste for the classics will recognize some of their favorite themes under fancifully suited titles. They are: "Peter Is a Wolf", Chopin's "Preludes Seven and Two", parts one and two of "Slaughter on Tenth Avenue", "Charmin' Carmen", and Wagner's "Evening Star." Chanodo The "Merry Maids of Chanodo" would like to welcome Gladys Sorenson, Barbara Barnett and Cheryl Winters to their throng Chanodo is planning an active calendar for the month of February. The membership banquet will be held in the very near future. Plans for the talent show and annual assembly are well under way.

T faculty and students alike are Collegiate of the Week This Active Weber College student is Phil Evans, treasurer of Phoenix men's club. Being an engineering major, Phil gets in his share of studying but would not think of neglecting his social life.

Transparent, Plastic Boots Are the Latest Thing in Winter Footwear Weber colleg students are still setting pace in fashion realms of Ogden, we guess. (No one can see through the winter coats). The footwear is something we can see through. Especially with the new transparent, plastic boots that are so handy to fold and carry in the pocket or purse when the weather permits. It tits the average college girls pocket book in more ways than one. The cost of these handi-boots is only about one-fifth, the- price of the average rubber footwear, and your legs are minus the tell-tale black rings made by the old-time stand-bys.Boys, and a few girls too, are sporting a new type of foot cover-" ing. It fits close to the skin, is made of plaster of paris, and most students are rewarded one as a result of skiing. Can anyone tell us why they only wear it on one foot? Do they have to earn one for the other foot? Speaking , of coats, plaid and checks are the favorite designs, Make Your Time at W. C.

Phoenix Phoenix Club members regret to say that we are losing our President for this quarter to the Air Force reserve. Although Johnny is going to leave us early, he has piloted us through a very successful Winter quarter so far. We had a very fine frivilous. We would like to know if the girls over at the dorm found a few pet goldfish that we seemed to misplace somewhere. If someone finds them return them to Howard Call, he says he loves goldfish. |
