Slocum, ill make its first public appearance for the winter quarter tonight in Hill Music hall at 8:30. The 80 musicians have in store a varied program, de signed to please everyone present.

Director Slocum's special arrange ment of Mozart's "Marriage of Fig aro" will also be played by the larg est unit organization on the campus. This overture, most performed of Mozart's-operas, is vivacious in char acter and is particularly adaptable to the symphonic band. A number that promises to please the entire student body is David Ben nett's modern composition, "Rhap sody in Rhumba." The drum section will be brought out in this selection which is a bit jazzy and has enough modern swing mixed within to make any jitterbugs present take to their feet SANDIFUR Dale Sandifur, graduate assistant in the music department, will be fea tured as soloist during the program. He will play Greig's arrangement of "Piano Concerto" and will be accom panied in the background by the other members of the band.

The provisions were that he should eat and drink three dollars worth of merchandise without stopping.
