Band Leader Is
Recovering From
Appendicitis Attack
At a midnight meeting last
night German club officials ten
tatively chose Al Ravelin and
his orchestra to play for their
N opening dance in the finals ser
ies on Thursday replacing the
originally scheduled Bar n e y
Rapp and his band.
Rapp's manager informed the
club yesterday that the orchestra
Avould be unable to fulfill its con
tract because of an attack of ap
pendicitis suffered by the band
leader several days ago.
In the meantime final nlans
are proceeding for the Friday
and Saturday dances at which
time Paul Whiteman and Hal
Kemp and their orchestras will
provide music.
Broadcasts
Whiteman will originate both
his nationwide radio broadcasts
from the bandshell of the new
gymnasium on Friday evening
and for that reason the tea dance
"will occur from 7 till 8:30 o'
clock, the evening dance from 10
til 2 o'clock. German club offi
cials urge all dancers to be in
side the gymnasium at least by
7:15 and 10:15 since a large
crowd is desired for both broad
casts and no one will be admitted
during the presentation of the
coast-to-coast program.
Bids for the entire dance ser
ies can still be secured from the
following students on the cam-i
pus: John Umpstead, Billy
Worth, Jimmy Coan, David
Thorp, Fred Parrish, Frank
Hogers, Lunceford Crew, Flet
cher Gregory, Page Hancock,
Morris Fitts, and Haughton Eh
ringhaus. Last night on his nation-wide
"broadcast Paul Whiteman an
nounced to the country that he
-would be in Chapel Hill next
-week-end to play for the Uni
versity of North Carolina

time to turn things over to

short too. He only said, "Is
there any old business," and left

Young Man, Who Entered
University In 1922, To Help
Play For Finals
By Bill Snider
In 1913 an eight-year-old boy
was playing tne mecnanicai
piano in a cinema palace down
in Marion, Alabama. Last
Tuesday night almost 100 pow
erful radio stations from the At
lantic to the Pacific stood by
while that same boy, now 33,
raised his baton in New York
and let music flood the nation.
His name is Hal Kemp, and af
ter 25 years his purpose, to en
tertain, has remained the same;
his method of doing it has chang
ed radically.
It all began when Hal entered
the University of North Caro
lina in 1922. Here he met
Skinny Ennis, Saxie Dowell and
Ben Williams who helped him
organize his first band. It went
over with a bang. The boys won

Pete Ivey Receives
Mysterious Letter
The address on the letter
received yesterday by the
"Little Corporal" was simply
"Pete," Chapel Hill, N. C. The
stationery was "WCUNC" sta
tionery and the letter was de
livered to our own Pete Ivey
in Graham Memorial.
There is no clue to the iden
tity of the writer; she signed
herself (?) "just curious."
The letter has no purpose ex
cept to find out whether it
would be delivered. So the
Daily Tar Heel hopes that
the writer will see this and
know that her brainchild has
flowered.
