Lenoir High
Band To Play
Here Today
Reviving a tradition of long stand
ing which was interrupted during the
critical war period, the Lenoir High
School Band will play at the Carolina
Virginia game today. The band is
the oldest high school band in North
Carolina and has been in continuous
operation since its founding in 1924.
Widely known and acclaimed as one
of the best high school bands, it is
under the direction of Captain Jamie's
C. Harper, holder of one of, the
coveted memberships in the Ameri
can Bandmasters Association.
The band's first appearance in
Chapel Hill was in 1927 at the
Thanksgiving Day Classic Carolina
Virginia game. It was also on hand
at the official dedications of Kenan
Stadium and the Morehead-Patterson
Bell Tower. After several years of
confining itself to playing at the

favored in view of its commendable
record, thus far in the campaign, but
as has been the case in nearly every
game this year, it will be far from
an all-opponent affair. The Tar Heels
have "given three of last year's major
bowl contenders a fight to the finish
this year, and the charges of r Coach
Snavely are on the upgrade and are
considered in many circles likely to
turn the trick on the Cavaliers.
Both teams reputedly have fierce
walls, and it is predicted by the ex
perts that it will be another hard
fought tussle up front. However,
with such passers as Tom Gorman and
Charlie Ellis in the tile, the game
could easily develop into a brilliant
aerial encounter.
Gorman, who has played an impor
tant role in several scoring drives for
Carolina this year, turned in his best
performance last weekend when he
passed from his own 33 to a touchdown
in six plays, two of which went as in
complete.
On the other hand, Virginia's Ellis
ranks among the best passers in the
nation, having an average of .634.
Too, Virginia possesses one of Dixie's
best runners in Ray Brown, and it is
through this wide-open, through the
middle play that the visitors are ex
pected to have the most success.
The Carolina-Virginia series, the
oldest continuous in the south, is tied
up at 23 wins apiece, with three ties,
and today's game, as was the case
last week, will decide the team to go
ahead in the all-time record.
Coach Snavely's eleven will still be
slowed a little by injuries, but if ev
erything goes according to expecta
tions, all will be ready for some ac

Freshmen Vote
For Officers
On Wednesday
Candidates Meet
Brinkley Monday
Walt Brinkley, chairman of the
Elections Committee, announced at
the Student Legislature meeting
Thursday night that the .election of
freshman officers has been postponed
until Wednesday. The reason given for
this delay was that - more time was
needed to publicize the election and
thus enable every freshman to vote.
Jimmy Wallace introduced a reso
lution to the Legislature that it . in
form the state government that it is
unalterably opposed to chapter 122 of
North Carolina Public Laws of 1939
as unfair and selfish and that the legis
lature demand the repeal of the law
in the next session of the General As
sembly.
The questionable law is one which
prevents state organizations from com
peting in private business with tax-
paying citizens. As iurther reading
of the law shows that practically every
institution besides the University is
exempted from it, the law is construed
as. being direct discrimination against
the Book Exchange in favor of Chapel
Hill businesses.
The following bills were introduced
by the Ways and Means Committee
and passed unanimously: A bill to
I establish an executive committee of
? the Student Welfare Board to expedite
important matters; a bill to petition
the Student Welfare Board to investi
gate the management and prices of
the Book Exchange; and a bill to set
up a committee of various campus of
ficers to supervise the orientation of
all new incoming students to the Uni
versity. Candidates for freshman officers are
requested to meet Walt Brinkley in the
Grail room of Graham Memorial Mon
day afternoon at five o'clock.

Labor-Religion
Talk Tomorrow
Kermit Eby, director of education
and research for the Congress of In
dustrial . Orginization, will speak on
"Religion and Labor" Sunday at 8
p.m. in Hill Hall. The sermon is part
of the University series sponsored by
the Council for Religion in Life. Dr.
Frank P. Graham will introduce Mr.
Eby.
The speaker, author of many articles
in professional, religious and labor
publications, attended the University
of Chicago in 1929-31, specalizing in
international relations. He taught
social studies in the Ann Arbor, Mich.,
high school for six years after his
graduation from college. In 1933 he
spent five months in the Orient with
the Friends' Good Will Mission.
Mr. Eby served as executive secre
tary for the Chicago Teachers Union
from 1937 until 1943. While holding
this position he also conducted the po
litical campaign of the Independent
Voters' Committee, electing Raymond
S. McKeough to the United States
Senate and Benjamin Adamowski to
the House of Representatives.
IRC Meeting
Members of the International Re
lations Club will discuss the Indo
nesian problem at their meeting in
Roland Parker Lounge of Graham
Memorial Monday at 7:30. Bill Ses
sions will present the factual report.
Gay Morenus has been elected new
IRC representative to CRIL.
ful costumes have drawn comment
from universally authentic sources.
However, her settings so perfectly
planned, play a definite part in the cre
ation of the atmosphere which has
enchanted many audiences, as they
were taken, by her series of dances
from India to Spain.
La Meri has studied the technique
of native dances until she is able to
penetrate racial mysteries by her fan
tastic performances.
La Meri and her noted dance group
will be making their initial appearance
on the Carolina campus Monday but
judging from the enthusiastic recep
tion they have received on many other
campus programs throughout the
country, the Carolina student body
will give the troupe a royal welcome.
The Memorial Hall attraction will
be the final one of the Student Enter
tainment series for this term but an
other ambitious schedule is already in
the making for the winter quarter.
Weekend
And Concert
,s omvaK win piay zor nances r naay
and Saturday nights and a concert
Saturday afternoon. The dance Friday
will be open only to members of the
German Club. Bids will be distributed
by each member of the German Club
for the dance Saturday. The concert
Saturday afternoon will be open to
the entire campus at $1 per person.
Second Appearance
This appearance will mark the
second time the noted trumpeter has
played at Carolina. Spivak played for
the mid-winters of 1942. After his ap
pearance, the Tar Heel commented
thusly:
"Charlie Spivak brought his band
to the campus yesterday and after an
hour-long public concert in Memorial
Hall was accepted with honors by the
Carolina student body. The packed
audience roared approval of the man
who plays the sweetest trumpet in the
world."
This passage is representative of
what critics and audiences through
out the nation have been saying of Spi
vak since his rise to fame in 1940. In
1941, Spivak played the entire winter
at the famed Glen Island Casino. Since
hat time he has risen swiftly in popu
larity through recordings for Colum
bia records and appearances at the
Paramount theatre in New York and
other nationally-known theatres and
night clubs. He has been featured over
all of the major networks.
Miller Style
Hailed as the logical successor to the
late Glenn Miller, Spivak has styled
his band largely along Miller lines. A
smooth, soft, reed section, backed by
restraining brass, has become an in
dentifying feature of the Spivak style.
The booking of Spivak follows on
the footsteps of Bobby Sherwood, and
indicates a return to pre-war Caro
lina when name bands played "the
Hill" frequently.
Play maker Production
December 6-8 To Have
Elaborate Background
Highly stylized scenery, expressing
the mood of the play, i3 the stage set
for T. S. Eliot's "Murder in the Ca
thedral," which will be presented at
the Playmakers Theatre Thursday
through Saturday, Dec. 6-8, as the
second major production of the Caro
lina Playmakers in their 28th season.
Robert Borrows,. designed the scen
ery for "Murder in the Cathedral" and
took great pains in doing the elaborate
background for the production.
Unusual lighting will add to the ef
fectiveness of Mr. Burrows set ac
cording to advanced information.
A model of the stage set, which shows
the spatial relationship of the scenery
to the stage at a scale of one-half
inch to one fcot, is on display at Led-better-Pickard's.
Ail seats are reserved for "Murder
in the Cathedral," the curtain rising
at 8:30 p. m. Admission is 93c or by
season ticket. Seats can be bought and
reserved at Ledbetter-Pickard's or at
209 Philips Hall.
Final Deadline Set

signed up for a picture in the 1946
Yackety Yack and has not had it
taken by Wootten-Moulton studio
yet, must check by the Yack office
