his home town. The Casa Lomans still
call him "Spike."
Only for the past two years has
Gray conducted the band, for prior to
that time he sat with the others as an
instrumentalist The decision to make
a haton-waving maestro of him came
n Detroit when the manager of a
theater looked at the orchestra when
t was set up and said, "Who's Gray?"
hen the arrangement : was ex
plained the manager literally cried in
desperation: "But I'm paying $7,000
for a band called Glen Gray's Casa
Loma band, and I want Gray out be
re the people." ... and that's where
he's been ever since.

most college students go through four
years without determining a specific
field to which they can turn for their
life work. It is planned to present
speakers covering as many fields as
possible in an effort to present students
on the campus the inside opportunities
open to them after graduation.
A new testing service, one in which
definite trends in occupations may be
determined are now available either
at W. D. Perry's office in 208 South
building or in S. W. J. Welch's quar

of these."
"In the War between the states the

Changed To Gerrard
Because Of Crowds
Chairman Preston Nisbet yesterday
called the year's second mass assembly
of the Student party for tomorrow

Over 100 representatives from dor
mitories and affiliated fraternities and
several members at large are expect
ed to attend tomorrow night's meet
ing, indicating a new record for at
tendance may be established.
The large crowd is expected because
of unusually wide interest at this sea
son of the year in political activity,
mostly precipitated by the Student
party's surprise action in nominating
Dave Morrison for president of the
student body and Gates Kimball for
vice-president at its opening meeting.
MORE NOMINATIONS
Tomorrow night's business will
probably include a few more nomina
tions, it was believed, which would in

est election campaigns in several
years.
Nisbet yesterday expressed satis
faction at the, interest shown in the
nominations this year and voiced his
appreciation for the large attendance
at the opening convention.
"The larger and more representa
