The people of Kerkrade, Holland, had seen bands before but never anything like this particular line! Here the group marches past +he statue of the coal miner in the town square. Within the city is Europe ' s oldest coal mine. At the Henri Chappelle cemetery near Liege, Belgium, the band stands at reverent attention, paying homage to American soldiers who gave their lives in the Second World War.

Shake ' ern, Man! I ' aul Paray, conductor of the Detroit Symphony Hey, Bo Diddley! Jazz and Symphony We at Ole Miss love music, and in our quest for a truly cosmopolitan attitude we learn to appreciate many different types of that which soothes the savage breast. Nowhere is this fact more clearly illustrated than in a glance back on the bands and entertainers who came to our fair campus this past year. The first of these was a young man named Bo Diddley who stormed upon us last Fall and gave an exhibition of wild music that rocked staid Fulton Chaptel to its very foundation. We then were treated to as complete a change-of-pace as is possible to make, for in early March the Detroit Symphony Orchestra brought us in contact with the beauty and art of concert music. March was a banner month, for later the nationally re- nowned Kingston Trio, fresh from their hit record of Tom Dooley and a best-selling album, entertained us with their repertoire of unusual song stylings. And rounding out the year, the Dukes of Dixieland brought to us a truly southern form of music, New Orleans dixieland jazz. From Bo Diddley to the Detroit Symphony, at Ole Miss we love ' em all! 29
