C SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1945 gims 1 o Clyde Lucas5 Name Band To Play Will Be First National Group Here Since Spring By Marjorie Jordan A Tri-Service dance, subsidized by the Navy Welfare Fund, will be staged in Woollen Gym February 16 from 8:30 to 12:30 with Clyde Lucas and his new nationally recognized band featuring the gala event with musical refrains. Scheduled as a farewell affair for all servicemen leaving at the end of the present term, the service dance to which everyone is invited promises to be a topflight highlight in Caro lina dances. The signing of Lucas to play here is the first step toward hiring a name band for a dance. The last name band to visit the campus was' Don Redmond who played for the German Club's spring formal. The dance will be paid for by the Navy welfare fund and there will be I no admission charge. Faculty mem bers and all students, both civilian and military, are invited. Major J. W. Marshall, Lieut. W. E. Durin and Lieut. J. D. Hill are assist ing with the arrangements. Chaper ones will be military officers of the Navy and Marine units. Clyde Lucas? six foot .bandleader who brings his orchestra to the cam pus this month, served his apprentice ship in some of the finest bands in the country. He began playing at the age of nine in a "kid" band in Emporia, V Kansas. His first real job was play ing a baritone horn in Ottawa, Kan sas, for which he received two dollars a day, and the opportunity to wear his first pair of long pants. At fifteen he began studying piano, but discovered that there was a "big ger percentage" in brass, as the high school band played for all the football games. He bought a trombone, and soon had a seat on the fifty yard line. When Lucas entered the University of Kansas, he planned to become an electrical engineer, but soon became convinced that music was his proper field. During the remainder of his college days he studied piano, har mony, instrumentation and arranging. Meanwhile he gained practical experi ence by playing weekends in a small dance orchestra which he organized. After leaving college, he struck out in the dance music world with a trom bone under one arm, and a bundle of arrangements under the other. Clyde and his brother Lyn decided to organize their own band. The result was the "California Dons," which was nationally recognized within a year. Following the trend of the times, the title was changed to the "Clyde Lucas Orchestra." The band was featured on the first movie-radio program to hit the air waves, "Hollywood on the Air." This program later became "Hollywood Ho tel." Since then the orchestra has played on other national network pro grams, as well as in prominent thea ters and hotels throughout the coun try. Over 100 transcriptions and six movie shorts have been made by the band, to say nothing of over the coun ter records. The committee on arrangements con sists of Larry H. Herrera, USMC, A. S. Cretini, USMC, A. J. Elger, USMC, Lote Kinney, USNR, . Maurice E. Brooks, USNR, Howard M. Dietz, USNR, Wally Barrett, NROTC, Col lins Brown, NROTC and Tom Camp bell, NROTC.

During the week starting tomorrow he will deliver a series of lectures dealing with i;he relationship between faith and reason.

Military Students at UNC U now Solons Pass Physical Education Proposal In Original Form Amid Heated Floor Debate By Gertrude Walton The Student Legislature seemed to have taken on a new form ... at least the appearance of be ing alive in its Thursday night session . . . when the bill which proposed a cut in the physical edu cation program for veterans and 4-Fs was passed amid a turmoil of legislative dribble which, also saw considerable bouncing around of a bill appropriating funds for the Legislature and the Student Council. The session adjourned without action on the budget bill. - ' Main criticism was directed against the entertainment fund, provided for in the budget for the The Way They Stand Mary Hill Gaston, Kappa Alpha - 27,734 Nancy Kennickell, CICA -.22,167 Mochie Morton, Delta Kappa Epsilon 19,977 Lou Hull, Alderman -.18,100 Markie Parsons, Pi Kappa Alpha - .......15,277 Twig Branch, Sigma Nu - 13,766 Linda Williams, Phi Gamma Delta 10,522 Winkie White, Alpha Tau Omega-Delta Delta Delta . 8,004 "Miss X," Law School .. ... 5,505 Natalie Harrison, Chi Psi 5,112 Tommy Thomas, Phi Kappa Sigma-Carr - 4,945 Patty Harry, Alpha Delta Pi 3,751 Terry King, A.

Editorial t F-U41. K TA 17 NUMBER SW 33 Vitality Student council Bill fcrlsD. member of the Student council, assumed the rostrum to explain that the enter tainment fund was not used for "en tertainment" but for the benefit of the student body. Crisp emphasized the necessity of a faculty-student get-together, and that a two and a half hour business session was no "entertain ment." Speaker Hunt pointed out that the bill did not intend to impugn the honor of the Student council, and that al though both the present council and legislature were opposed to the spend ing of student funds for the supper meetings, it had already been charged to the budget and was therefore in cluded in expenses. An additional section was added to the appropriations bill whereby the Student council and legislature in the future should submit to the Legisla ture finance committee, a written re port of all expenditures minus mis- jcellaneous expenses. Disapproved were appropriations of $30 for the Yackety Yack picture of the campus cabinet and $16.34 for de preciation of office equipment. Bob Lipton, succeeding Bruce Wins low, ROTC, who resigned last week, was elected chairman of the finance committee to make a report at next week's meeting concerning the pro posed appropriations bill. Phys Ed Bill Following a heated discussion of over an hour during which one amendment to the physical education bill was pro posed and in turn rejected, the Legis lature finally passed the bill in its original form. The bill is actually a request that the Student Welfare board study the present physical education program of the University which requires all male students to have at least five hours of physical training a week, in order to recommend revisions to the University administration. Those supporting the bill maintain that if the five hours were reduced to two hours it would enable the student to take an extra course, thus acceler ating his work. During the discussion the fact was brought out that when the University went on a wartime basis, the Board of Trustees gave President Graham the choice of either four hours com pulsory physical education or compul sory ROTC training for every male student. It was stated that the ex tra hour was added by the Physical Education department for the con venience of combining military and civilian personnel when the University went on the current semester basis. Acceding to the arguments, the bill was passed in its original form which provides that all veteran and students classified in 4-F would be required to take not more than two hours of phys ical education a week. A bill to appropriate funds to help construct a campus bulletin board was carried. Libba Wiggins, Chairman of the Ways and Means committee, pre sented a bill to provide for the or ganization of the June, 1945, gradu ating class which will be introduced and discussed at the next meeting. Constitution Group To Meet Next Week The Student Legislature committee governing the reorganization of a campus constitution will conduct sessions through next week for stu dents wishing to make recommenda tions. The group will hold hearings on various matters. The time and place of such sessions will be posted daily on the Y bulletin board, according to Doug Hunt.
