This pro gram is brought under the auspices of Graham Memorial. Prima Donna Lyon first rose to fame as a star of Schubert productions, and for several years sang the music of Romberg, Lehar and Herbert all over America in leading roles. After leav ing the musical comedy stage, Miss Lyon devoted herself to concerts and radio work, appearing as soloist with symphony orchestras and on various radio networks. She is now appearing with her Continental Quartet, which was organized because of many de mands for her appearance in the op eretta roles. David Johnson, tenor, is a well- known- American concert artist and star of the American Opera company.

Campus, town and state digni taries will assemble at 6:30 for the honorary banquet. Refuses Broadcast Dr. Hu yesterday afternoon wired IRC officials that he is "microphone shy" and. refused WPTF's offer to car ry a banquet table interview by a 50, 000 watt wire. Hu Shih's important role in Wash ington diplomacy became obvious Sun day when governmental officials re leased the news that President Roose velt has pledged full cooperation be tween United States and China in a message transmitted to Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek, following a vote by Congress to give China $500,000,000 added credit. Reasons Disclosed The true significance of Hu Shih's postponement of his IRC address in December is now known. The speech was scheduled for a date which short ly preceded the outbreak of the US- Japanese war, and Dr. Hu was in the midst of his life-or-death conferences with the President at the time of his scheduled address here. Whether the special envoy of Chiang Kai-Shek will analyze China's war moves "or whether he will :seek to dis cuss ideologies and world politics can not yet be determined by the IRC, and club executives yesterday could not speculate on the finer aspects of the broadly worded address topic," "China and the War." The Ambassador will participate in an open discussion after his address, affording students, faculty and towns people opportunity to question China's emissary oh vital information, opin ions and policies pertaining to the war effort of the Chinese government and people. Dr. Hu will arrive by train in Ral eigh from his Washington home late this afternoon. Receipts Total $395j92 On Will Bradley Show; 1,600 Swell Dorm Fund Receipts totaling $305.92 from the Will Bradley concert last Saturday were announced to almost double the dorm social room fund to date, as campaign leaders began mapping tentative plans for actual use of the money. A total of 1,600 tickets were sold for the boogie-woogie concert held in Memorial hall Saturday afternoon as part of the Interdorms set of dances, it was stated. Aiming at complete social and game rooms in each of . the men's dormitories, the fund was begun last year by the Interdormitory council and the Daily Tar Heel.

In case more than one person is eli gible for the reward, it will be divided among persons reporting evidence. The offer holds good through June 1942, John Thorpe, Interfrat council presi dent stated in announcing the reward. "The Council shares the irritation of the campus at large over the stealing eDidemic and hopes that its reward may stimulate student vigilance in the direstion of detecting the guilty part ies," Thorp said.
