Dear Editor, I heard last week that the next I ARROW SHIRTS DOME, the one for 1949-50 will come out before we leave school, instead of nJil . > TIES • UNDERWEAR • HANDKERCHIEFS • SPORTS SHIRTS the usual publication date during the Summer. Perhaps this decision was reached be­ cause the DOME was a little late in ap­ pearing this year. But whatever the reason, I don't think too much of the new idea. The DOME has no present news value Ifs ADLEKS for at all. It doesn't make much real dif­ ference whether it comes out in June , or September. However, it does make a difference, especially to the Seniors, as to what's in the book. ARROW If the moving up of the DOME" ap­ pearance date means that part of the year's activities has to be left out, it doesn't seem fair to the Seniors. The Senior Ball, baseball season, spring shows and other events will be slighted. Is this fair to the men who work for MICHIGAN at WASHINGTON and organize these activities?

OI»y Now! Beat the Parlays —BEAT THE PARLAYS! # 30 The Scholastic MUSIC fe^ Papandreo Spaghetti House (FORMERLY THE CAPITOL) By DAN MINAHAN Italian and American Foods Frankie Laine, whose star always South Bend's Finest Eating Place appears to be fading when suddenly he bounds back into the public spotlight, has 415 North Michigan Street amazed the experts again with his Phone 3-0903 South Bend, Indiana "Lucky Old Sun" which is surely the finest waxing of his career and just about ices the Laine reputation. There are still many people in the music busi­ ness who are, and always have been, skeptical concerning Frankie's ability to stay on top due to his lack of vocal talent. But what he lacks in ability Laine makes up for, and more, in his technique and "Lucky Old Sun" with a soft choral background and a great set of lyrics neatly compliments the Laine style. A couple of "oldies" jumped back on the popular bandwagon this summer and both seemed destined for a long second childhood, one because of the song itself and the other because of the treatment accorded it by the singer. The first, Vaughn Monroe's "Someday", is a west­ ern-type torch song which Monroe grinds out in his usual overdone way, having no musical introduction but simply jumping off where the lyric begins. But if you like Monroe, and there appears to be thousands who do, he and his quartet background make the arrangement fair­ ly effective. However, it's the song it­ self that will make this disc a hit.

The other oldtimer is Doris Day's "If I Could Be With You". The melody is fair, the lyi'ics good and the vocal ex- cellent—at least for the Doris of today. ^^ Her treatment is of the half sung, half sighed variety which made such a hit in her recent recording of "Magic". But this isn't the same Doris Day who made all New York stand up and take notice in the winter of 1947, and compared with some of her waxings with Les Brown suchas "Sentimental Journey" and "You Won't Be Satisfied", "If I Could Be With You" looks pretty sad. Once again, a singer reaches his or her peak—and passes it—before the great majority of ^ the public take any notice. Why this ^' situation should e^ist has been the burn­ ing question in the music world for many years. Another bit of news that caused a stir of late was the announcement that Stan Kenton was reorganizing his orchestra. But, and really to the surprise of no one, Kenton says he won't be quite as pro­ gressive in his arrangements this trip. Stan wasn't exactly well received in all circles with his last band.
