Wednesday, May 3, 1950 Number 14 TONIGHT IN THE COLLEGE GYM: THE JUNIOR PROM FEATURING IKE CARPENTER, HIS PIANO AND HIS ORCHESTRA Ike Carpenter, the slow-talking- young Southerner with the fast flying fingers, will bring his piano, orchestra and entertainers to the gym tonight to play for the Junior Prom. In the short space of time since Ike first organized his outfit in Hollywood, he has risen to the top of the dance band profession through his RCA Victor, Modern, Discovery, and Vocalion Records, Standard Radio Transcriptions, and a series of record-breaking engagements in all of the top spots. He developed the largest ^following of fans for a new or chestra since Stan Kenton first got his start on the West Coast. Ike has had eight repeat en gagements at the Casino Gardens and fourteen repeat engagements at the Trianon Ballroom. Eight thou sand people packed the Hollywood Palladium to dance to his music on a Monday night. He gave two rec ord-breaking engagements at the Million Dollar Theatre in one year, and at Balboa Rendezvous, Balboa, California he broke the attendance record with 21,500 paid admissions in a six-day period, and was called back for five repeat engagements. He has played outstanding prom dates at the University of Southern California, UCLA, the University of Oregon, and he has many other notable appearances to his credit and record. Ike Carpenter is brought to West ern through the efforts and arrange ments of Don Ellsworth, our student body president, who has directed advertising and ticket sales. Swede Lindgren, assisted by Marva Eccles- ton, has been in charge of decora tions.
