Attract Visitors
The dogwood season is at its height
in the University village this week
end and wistaria and numerous other
flowers and plants are in full bloom.
The whole town is attired in gor
geous spring dress and probably was
never prettier than it is right now.
MANY VISITORS
Hundreds of visitors came to the
village last Sunday to combine a sight
seeing trip with an inspection of var
ious campus points of interest. Several
hundred others are expected today.
Dogwood and wistaria' predominate
and both are flourishing luxuriantly
throughout the village. The early Jap
anese wistaria is, in full beauty but the
later Chinese variety, equally as
pretty, is just coming into bloom. In
the woodland surrounding the village
dogwood is overshadowing all other
growth with its delicate whiteness.
Some of the spots which lure many
visitors at this season are the famous
University Arboretum where Director
W. C. Coker has grown more than 500
species of plant life; Battle Park, now
a veritable fairyland of blooms, and
the Westwood section, where the per
pendicular pines and horizontal dog
wood mingle.

FIVE BANDS WILL
BE IN GROOVE AT
MEMORIAL HALL
Metronome Editor
To Choose Best
Jiyemen On Hill
By RUSH HAM RICK
Sponsored by the-Uniersit5t band.
(the five campus swing" organizations
will contest this afternoon at 3:15 in
Memorial hall in a Battle of Swing
to determine the best dance band on
the "HilL" Judging of the affair will
be left in the hands of George Simon,
editor of Metronome magazine, who
will also pick an all-campus swing band
from the contestants.
Coming barefooted out of a shower
at the home of C. L. Seebeck, Jr., Edi
tor Simon relinquished almost two
hours of his time yesterday afternoon
to discuss his publication, some of tha
nation's leading dance bands and the
Battle of Swing.
Simon had just finished playing a
few sets of tennis, and contradicting
previous published statements, George
stated that he had never wielded a ten
nis racket with either Budge or Mako,
although he had watched these net
stars quite often. It is known for a
fact, however, that he can wield a big
racket on a drum outfit.
BEATS IT OUT
During George's off hours in New
York City, he beats it out with the or
chestra of Bobby Hackett and Glenn
Miller. He says that he plays more
with Glenn who has the "most talked
of band in New York, and the only
musical band in the country." He says
that Miller, now playing at the Mea
dow Brook and broadcasting nine
times weekly, has a wonderful trum
pet section, and that Glenn's girl, Ma
rion Hutton, really puts spirit in the
band. In fact he exclaimed, "Marion
is much better than Betty Button al
though Betty makes more noise."
Being a good friend of Kemp and
Kyser, George has already received
messages from these two Carolina
alumni since his arrival on the campus.
He thinks that Kyser has a "wonder
ful head and deserves all sorts of
credit."
When told that Larry Clinton, his or
chestra and Bea Wain would appear on
the campus during the coming week
end, Simon said that he admired some
of Larry's things the improvement of
