By Phil 'Rammer "Rhythm in dance music is coming back again," asserted Bert Lown, famous band lead er yesterday in a special inter view with a reporter of the Daily Tab Heel. "It is the pri mary secret of success in mod ern syncopation, whether slow or fast." Lown furnished the music for the third annual Junior-Senior dance series which ended in the Tin Can last , night at the con clusion of senior week. A flaw less harmony and slow, beat af forded ideal dance arrangements and the crowd of hot, packed dancers were lavish in praise of his performance. Times Have Changed The ability of Bert Lown to keep consistently at the top of the heap of stellar dance or chestras is attributed to his elaborate arrangements of pop ular tunes. . ' "A few years "ago dancers demanded choruses and Plenty of them, but times have changed and the demand seems to be for competition between lands as to which can produce the finest arrangements. And that is where Lown has the jump on the rest of the boys.

Machine Returns One machine was returned from High Point where it was repaired yesterday morning and considerable work was done. Labor tomorrow will include fif teen men from the Orange Coun ty relief who will assist in the gigantic drive to clear the Uni versity's historically beautiful campus of debris. The drive was begun Wed nesday by St. Anthony Hall when it was found that ho ef forts would be taken by the University officials this spring to clean up the campus. The lack of appropriations would hot allow the repair of the two power cutters which had been literally "run to death" for three years without repairs. An estimate by P. L. Burch of the buildings department showed that $200 would be needed to fix (Continued on page two) Three Plays Close Studio Productions The. week-end , program , of eight Playmaker studio produc tions, produced in. threei bills by students in play-directing, , was concluded last night at the Play makers theatre with the pres entation of three plays written by students. . . .

Declamatory Clash Be tween Di and Phi Speakers to Take Place On Class Day. The subject chosen by the campus literary societies for this year's Bingham debate, an nual commencement contest be tween members of the Di senate and Phi assembly, relates to the CmhbrJapahese situation and the action which the rest of the world should take in regard to it. : -r ; ; . , Specifically, the, question will be as follows : Resolved: That the . states of the . world should intervene in the conflict between China and Japan in the inter ests 1 of. the world, at large. The members of the Di are to dp hold the affirmative , and the members of the Phi the negative side of the question. The Bihgham debate was in stituted in 1899 by the Honor able It. W. Bingham, present United States ambassador, to England, in memory of member of his family. The debate this year is to take, place at 3 :30 p. m. on Class Day, Tuesday, June 6, in Gerrard hall. The Bingham medal goes to the best speaker of the winnmg side. Try-outs for the debate are being conducted by each of the societies this Tuesday at 8 :00 o'clock immediately after their regular meetings to select two members to represent them in the debate. With Bert Lown and his fam ous orchestra furnishing his equally well-known slow rhythm, the Senior Ball, lasting from 00 until 12:00 o'clock, brought to a close last night the third annual series of Junior-Senior dances. The affair was . preceded by the Junior-Senior tea dance in the afternoon. Lown also play ed for this function in the Tin Can. Cafe Leads Figure The senior figure, led by President Arlindo Cate, took place at the dance last night. As sistant leaders were : B. Cabell Philpott, John S. GorreUV Char les G. Hose, Harry M. Hodges, E. C. Daniel, George Phillips, and B. Perry Collins. Lown's band with its dreamy tempo performed splendidly m the same manner which has ought it hatioh-wide fame. Lown has played three years at the Hotel Biltmore in New York, and has filled long engagements at "the awry in St. Paul, the Bell-Reeves in Kansas City, the Ambassador in Los Angelesand the .Park Central. He also makes records exclusively for the Victory company. Six new hits will be recorded by his band during the coming week. Holds Long Record He and his orchestra hold the longest single engagement rec ord in the orchestral business, playing steadily and successful ly at the Biltmore for three years. His performance of ten consecutive weeks at the Park Central is the longest of any band ever playing there. His contract will last until next Oc tober with the option of renew al.: . , Activities of senior week closed last night with the dance.' Merry Frolickers Cut Capers On Hot But Joyous Weekend Bedraggled Juniors and Seniors Find Going Tough But Thoroughly Enjoyable; Campus Shines Show Their Stuff and Politicians Find Time to Stir up Activity for Future Campaigns. "... o ' By Joe Sugarman Two tux-clad students met in Harry's early Saturday morn ing, between sips 01 coffee, one asked the other his opinion of the Junior-Seniors. "Not so hot," replied his com panion. The waiters in Harry's work ed three-quarters of an hour to bring him around and remove the imprint of his erstwhile friend's fist on his jaws. Hot! The perspired, bed raggled, faces and bodies of 1500 dancers, the limpness of the black and silver decorations, and the blaring and tooting of ; Bert Lown's merry men gave a concerted, cumulative effect of a living, dancing, struggling Hades. But it was a pleasant Inferno. Not the sort that Dante, Vergil, or Homer might have enjoyed, but exactly the kind that such old hands as Harry Finch, Wof ford Humphries, Vass Shep herd, and E. C. Daniel, Jr., re veled in. Gang Was All There Freshmen, worried over the scrupulosity of their attire, sophomores, swaggering at hav ing put something over commit tees, juniors, stiff with ah un bending, unfounded dignity, seniors, haggard from house parties and vain attempts at late dates, and the dates them selves, slightly the worse for wear but insisting that "it should just never end." All went to Vanity Fair, by coach or foot, all felt themselves charmed by soft, subtle, sneaky, strains, all roasted. On the left-hand side of the arena set the chaperons, tired but interested, sympathetic but congratulating themselves on the fact that they didn't have to sally forth into the melee for their amusement. "Pop" Albright was caught red-handed near the chaperons stand, attired in mufti, as it were. Asked why he didn't get into armor and seek conquest, Wise Mayhe probably begged off, as on previous occasions on the score that he was a Univer sity employee. .Beyond the overseers of pro priety and sobriety, the faculty, (Continued on last page)
