The dance, which is formal, will be held from 8 p. m. until midnight in Woollen gymnasium. Unlike the affair last night, admis sion to the dance tonight will be re stricted to members of the German club and their dates. Last night's dance was the first in the history of the club to which any member of the student body was admitted. Officers of the club and their dates will participate in the figure tonight. Officers are Jack Markham, Beta The ta Pi, president; Huntington Hobbs, Delta Kappa Epsilon, vice-president; Howard Hodges, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, secretary; Joseph Conger, Sigma Nu, trMSiiTP.r: and William Vail, Sigma Chi, chairman. The names of the girls in the figure were not available late last night. Bill Vail, chairman of the German club announced that there will be a figure rehearsal at 5 p. m. in Woollen gym FOOTBALL (Continued from page three) good ends. Gantt is a leading candi date for AU-Americai. Jake Poole and Bob Nanni, at the tackle slots, also bolster the Devils up front and are likely to play the entire game. Although Carolina beat Wake For est, 6-0, and the Deacons trimmed Duke, 20-17, and the Tar Heels wallop ed Davidson, 43-14, while the Devils tripped the Wildcats by a 21-point margin, Duke has been given the nod today by most experts. However, as has been demonstrated emphatically so many times in the past, past per formances mean very little when the Tar Heels and Blue Devils clash. Grim determination , and spirit are usually the deciding factors in this annual tussle, and the team with the most determination to win might well come out on top this afternoon in a scrap which promises to be one of the most exciting in the 54-year-old series. One fact is certain. The game will be a thriller just the presence of these two teams on the field assures that and the state's biggest football crowd of the year should be treated to a terrific gridiron display. Lafayette College has been enriched by a collection of more than 500 vol umes from the library of the late B. F.

ODT Regulation Postponed Slated MTNA Convention Dr. Glen Haydon, president of the Music Teachers' National association, has, announced that the annual meet ing of the association, scheduled for December 26-29 in Cincinnati, has been postponed. Action postponing the meeting was taken by the executive committee in deference to the statement of the Office of Defense Transportation urging that an meetings not directly or omciany connected with the war program not be held so as to relieve the transportation situation, expected to be acute during the holiday season. A streamlined business meeting and a session of the executive committee will probably be held in January for transaction of necessary business, President Haydon said. The forthcoming issue of the MTNA 4Buiietjn wjn contain a complete state- ment of the organization's plans for carrying on during the war, he added. With the two exceptions the MTNA has met annually since 1876, and is thus the oldest musical organization of its kind in the United States. Espe cially dedicated to the advancement of musical knowledge and education in the United States through discussion, in vestigation, and publication, the MTNA has contributed signally to the devel opment of music in this country by promoting organization of state and local musical associations, holding an nual meetings devoted to the reading of papers, encouragement of the Amer ican composer, discussion of profes sional problems, and publication of a volume of proceedings.

Movie Stars, Technicians, Bands, Crowd By Walter Damtoft Memorial hall lost some of its cus tomary sedateness yesterday when Co lumbia Broadcasting system tech nicians, Hollywood mbyie stars, and a detachment from the Naval Pre-fiight school moved in to rehearse and make preparations for the Kate Smith show which was broadcast from Chapel Hill last night. First to arrive Thursday were CBS technicians who , installed control booths for the broadcast, put up sound finitesimal mistakes were corrected, un sound effects. The studio orchestra fol lowed this crew and arrived at Memo rial hall yesterday at 11 a.m. to re hearse the five or six songs they were to play for the production. In their rehearsal, hot a single thing was left to chance. Every piece was played over and over until the most ih finitesmal mistakes were corrected, un til the CBJ$ technicians were sure that the tympari player had the beat of his drums tuned so that they would go over the air perfectly, and even then, the director of the band corrected mis takes that the layman would never have noticed. As the band finished rehearsing, Jane Wyatt, movie actress who was a guest star on the program, came in and quietly sat down in one of the an cient seats of Memorial hall. No one noticed her particularly until the word spread around who she was and, then the collective eyes of the scattering of students watching the rehearsal quick ly moved in her direction and there were several remarks that she didn't ;l k Hk actress at all, and most students who had seen her come in thought she was a coed. When a Daily Tar Heel reporter took her to the YMCA for a coke, she attracted no un usual attention, not because she was in any way unattractive but because she had none of the glamour appearance that usually characterizes a Hollywood actress. George Murphy, the second Holly wood star, made his appearance com plete with dark glasses and a conspicu ously conservative striped suit. Kate Smith herself was the last ma jor member of the cast to arrive, and when sne did come in some dozen or two autograph hounds were still tagging her heels. As friendly as she is large, she took a half an hourto give inter views, talked to a Carolina student who wanted to have a song published, and posed for pictures with the glee club from the Pre-flight school which also appeared on her program. Finally,' the rehearsal began as character actors and actresses took their places, a script girl made last minute changes, and Miss Wyatt and Murphy Hastily looked over their script as they prepared to do a skit from their latest picture, "Here Comes The Navy." In the first rehearsals, nothing went right. The sound man, who had to be a policeman directing traffic, traffic it self, and a door shutting all at the same time missed several of his cues or let his effects drag out too long. The di rector of the show had to correct Miss Wyatt and Murphy several times and character actors had to have tfieir en trances timed to split second accuracy. During the entire rehearsals, all parts were run over except Miss Smith's ' who remained in the audi torium talking to Major John L. Smith, Marine air ace who is credited with shooting down 19 Jap planes. Major Smith also appeared on the program when it was actually broadcast later on after many rehearsals. After the last broadcast was over at Methoridl Hall ! 1 a.m. the whole cast left for various parts of the country and Carolina set tled back to its big Duke weekend after a full night of celebrities.

FROSH FOOTBALL (Continued from page three) Imps had a secure lead and were con tent to rest on their laurels. At this rather discouraging point in the game, Blanchard personally took over conduct of the game and led the team to its only score. Ripping off con sistent yardage including runs of 17 and 16 vards. respectively, the Tar Babies drove to the Imp 31. A Culber son to Dokmanovich pass was good enough for a first down on the Duke 13. Two running plays failed but Cul berson tossed a flat pass to Blanchard on the 10 and the star fullback sprinted the remaining distance to the goal. fhard "converted to account for the final Carolina point. For his after noon's work, Blanchard led the Tar Baby ball carriers with 67 yards ih 11 tries for a 6.1 yard a try average. After this scoring thrust the Tar Babies never presented another threat and during most of the .final - session never gained control of the ball long enough to get anywhere.

Here for the program put on for the Pre-flight school, the col onel was Kate Smith, "Songbird of the Soufh," and the major was John L. Smith, the Marine who was respon sible for shooting down 19 Japanese planes. . The two Smiths had a mutual ad miration society. When the major was out on Guadalcanal he was a regular 'listener of Miss Smith's variety show and Miss Smith believes that the ma jor is "without doubt the greatest he ro in the country today." It was a strange interview, the two personalities were so different. Miss Smith seemed to have the answers ready before the questions were asked and the major was a bit confused by all the things that were going on and was exceptionally modest. The major disclosed that he came back from Quadalcanal three weeks ago, after a stay of two months. Dur ing this time he bagged 19 Japs. He said that he was often quoted as shoot ing down 19 Zeros but that this was not true. Without batting an eye he said, "They weren't all Zeros, some of them were bombers." He joined the Marines when he was 21 and now at the age of 27 he is one of the young est majors in that division of the fighting forces. Miss Smith has also been doing work that is invaluable to the govern ment. Recently she sold $6,000,000 worth of bonds in a period of one month. The USO is featuring her in a series of shorts with Columbia pic tures entitled, "America Sings with Kate Smith." The rank of colonel is a result of the work that the singer has been do ing with the Father Duffy Canteen unit. Miss Smith works until early morning distributing food to the men in uniform. The canteen is different from any of the others, in that they go to the boys rather than have the boys come to the canteen. Coffee, sandwiches and dessert are given to the men who have all-night shifts WELCOME AT CAROLINA PHARMACY WE ARE ALWAYS GLAD TO SEE YOU.

She left here early this morn ing for an important conference in Washington. "I wouldn't have missed that game with Duke for anything," she said, "but when your country wants you, you have to go." Miss Smith was particularly en thused over the University's part in the war effort. She visited the Pre flight school and watched the routine workout. It was in her opinion "the greatest thing that could happen to the young men of this country." She was amazed to see the cadets tread ing water for two or three hours while fully equipped. University Band Plans Spectacular Half -Time Display In its last appearance of the school year today at the Duke game. Caro lina's 80-piece band will attempt to bow out in a blaze of color as it goes through its most spectacular move ments of the year designed to reflect the nation's fighting power and the Tar Heel gridiron strength. As Earl Slocum, bandmaster, puts his crew through their final maneuvers, 13 seniors will conclude their band service at Carolina including Charlie Moore, drum major. Isabel Robinson, drum majorette, will lead the band and this will also be her last appearance and she is hoping to give the flashiest appearance of the year. She has developed several new tricks with the baton after several days of practice.
