Odetta Leads Workshop
“I’d like to hear some of the guitar work here on campus," said Odetta as she began her workshop last Friday in the Student Union Lounge.
In summing up the trend of folk music that has recently hit campuses throughout the country, Odetta said, “One doesn’t have to be black and poor to experience blues, nor white and well off to be well off.”
“I was bom on Stevens Street. It wasn't the most undesirable street in town—just the least de-sireable street in the most un-desireable section.
“Everybody on Stevens Street had the same ambition to get off Stevens Street.
“I noticed that the family upstairs went to Synagogue a day late, but when I asked the kids about it, I found out they got the same message, from the same God, that I did.
“They ate a famous old New England dish called ravioli, but we ate the same dish and called it kreplach.
“People on Stevens Street said that these differences weren’t important.
“We moved to a better section of town and I soon learned
from my new friends that these differences were reason enough to hate someone and even persecute him.”
This story was related by cartoonist Al Capp, America’s “expert on nothing, with opinions on everything,” Tuesday night as he spoke to a full house in the Hurricane Cafeteria. He received a standing ovation from one of the most responsive audiences in the history of the University.
Capp, whose “maiden" name was Caplin, was discovered by UM’s Publications Director, Wilson Hicks. He is well known as the creator of “Lil Abner.” He says, “I get my Ideas for ‘Lil Abner’ from the front page—of course, I clean them up a little.”
When asked about the atrip "Peanuts,” he said, “There’s too
much sex and violence involved.” Concerning sex, Mr. Capp stated, “Premarital sex—it’s all right if you can arrange it,” and, asked how the sex life of a coed should be treated, said, “With discretion.”
Questioned about the current “protest songs,” he said, “It’s not the songs I don't like, it’s the singers. The songs about the horrors of war are usually sung by guys who have just burned their draft cards.”
Mr. Capp got his first “break” in 1932, when Mr. Wilson Hicks, then an executive for the Associated Press, saw some of his cartoons.
Capp was hired for $52 a week to draw a strip entitled “Col. Gil Geather.”
He was discontented with the

Hayakawa Talks at UM

to offset the costs of processing the applicants. Each person will answer the question t w 1 c e— once about themselves and once about the type of date they want. Hie importance of answering questions honestly is being stressed by the “Dateline” committee. As Harriet Weingar-den, a member of this committee stated, “If all the questions are answered completely honestly, no one will have any problems in getting an attractive, personable date.”
The committee, which is chaired by Mel Reiser, will attempt to find an escort for Leslie Gore through the same method used for the students. Dates will be met in the Great Lounge at a designated time on the evening of Dec. 10.
Application forms can be filled out from 1-5 p.m. and from 8-9 p.m., Nov. 15, 18 and 17 in the Student Union. A group of UM Hostesses will be on hand in the Breezeway of the Union to answer questions and direct students to the correct room.
The “Computer Date” idea has been used at many schools in the north, most notably at Carleton College in Minnesota, as was reported in Parade magazine in April of this year. This is the first time it has been used at UM, however.
Chuck Zalis has been mistakenly identified as a member of the Hurricane staff and as an executive member of the Undergraduate Student Government.
Neither has he been, nor is he presently, a member of the Hurricane staff or a working member of USG. And according to T. Constance Coyne, "... he never will be.”
strip, which wasn’t his creation, and left after a year with A.P. “Col. Gil Geather” was dropped.
In 1934, he presented the "Lil Abner” strip to United Features Syndicate. He was hired for $50 a week. According to the practice of the day he turned ownership of the strip over to the syndicate. The shortcoming of this system was revealed when Milton Seiger, creator of Popeye, died. The multimillion dollar profits were absorbed by the syndicate leaving his wife only four weeks pay. Capp, appalled by the situation demanded ownership of his strip. He received ownership provided he would sign a ten year extension. Lil Abner had been running for 5 years and the ‘life expectancy” of a strip at this time was twelve years.
“Lil Abner” has lived onto become a "classic” American cartoon and is read by 65 million people every day.
Capp, who has never Indulged in rmsading, now plans a major
crusade of his own. He is protesting the 18c rest rooms. “I’ve been caught without the correct change, as I’m sure others have. You can’t stuff a twenty dollar bill in these machines. (It’s worth it). I’m for government subsidy.”
In one of his more serious moments, Mr. Capp axplained that, “any creative person having found a sure fire formula for success must instantly abandon it or it will destroy him.”
Tom Spencer, President of USG presented Mr. Capp with an orange sweatshirt, “fit for wearing in Leopoldville.”
Mr. Capp’s parting advice to students was, “Let’s return to Stevens Street!”
