...letter to the CRIMSON, Professor Karl Sax is quite justified in condemning restriction of information about birth control and of birth control propaganda. However, the statement in the CRIMSON'S article of December 2, that Widener is guilty of such restriction, was in error. I am currently engaged in research for an honors thesis on the subject of the Massachusetts birth control law. I have found that information about birth control, and birth control propaganda, are readily available in Widener, and are listed in the card catalogue. In all likelihood it is only instructional manuals and descriptions of method that...
...more thinking people all over the world are concerning themselves with the dilemma of over-population, an institution like Widener Library should not withhold from its students any work which deals with a subject of such significance to the survival of mankind as the control of human reproduction.

Since then, Melody in A Major has appeared in many incarnations, including arrangements for violin, pipe organ, alto sax, and in 1951 Broadway Veteran Carl (Bongo Bongo) Sigman wrote some lyrics for it.

...Basie (Paul Quinichette, tenor sax; Shad Collins, trumpet; Nat Pierce, piano; Freddie Greene, guitar; Walter Page, bass; Jo Jones, drums; Prestige). "Count don't play nothin'," said a Basie veteran once, "but it sure sounds good." This nostalgic album is a fine reminder of what that line meant. The selection of five Basie classics (including Texas Shuffle and Diggin' for Dex) is taken from the period 1937 to 1941 and played by three veterans of the Basie rhythm section...
Bill Harris and Friends (Ben Webster, tenor sax; Jimmy Rowles, piano; Red Mitchell, bass; Stan Levey, drums; Fantasy). Trombonist Harris, who sometimes sounds as if he were blowing through several folds of velvet, is the weakest operative on an album chiefly distinguished by the pensive unfolding of some fine solos by Saxman Webster. In Where Are You?, I Surrender, Dear and In a Mello-tone, Webster articulates his longings with spacious ease and a tone as husky with melancholy as a distant-sounding foghorn...
