Sound and Fury Meets Tomorrow To Design Sets A meeting for all students interested in stage designing, stage lighting, and costume designing will be held tomor row night at 7:30 in the Sound and Fury office in Graham Memorial. Call for Students "This meeting must be attended by interested students, because basic re quirements will be established for all work to be done and no work can be accepted unless it conforms with the standards' "Orson" Grotz, producer, said yesterday. "The colorful possibil ities of our script, 'Bagdad Daddy, de mands immediate designing ideas," he added. , Impartial Judging - All work will be judged impartially on a merit basis, and all students will be welcomed to the meeting. ' - "Refreshments and cigarettes will be served," said Grotz. Talent Parade Radio Scout Enthusiastic About Auditions Tomorrow "If I could find one excellent im personator," John Rider, field mana ger for the Allen Star Theater who is now in Chapel Hill, said yesterday, "I'd hire him immediately whether he was chosen winner of Carolina's tal ent contest or not." Enthusiastic about the ability of Tar Heels, especially since Fred Allen mentioned Carolina for participation in his program before any other Uni versity, Rider was equally desirous of a boogie woogie piano player or a hot trumpet virtuoso. "Since radio has not been developed to the extent that we can successfully present magicians or fraternity men clever at card tricks, we are inter ested only in audible talent, but we are interested in all kinds of audible talent," Rider stated with emphasis in yesterday's interview. - '-"--V ;! ri III; ;J?-tf h ? ifI s li H Lyr ,LJ ii l. l-J a- l.-;ja I B-E-A-T S-T-A-T-E! Carolina's cheering machine is ' in action and as the underground campaign to bolster the Twelfth Man began to take form last knightand University club pep rousers whispered of a "mysterious rally Friday night," Curry Jones, in mid-air, and his cohorts, Ann Craft, Johnny Feuchtengerger, Pat Johnson, Don Nicholson, Buddy Crone, Don Blanton, Ann Angel arid Frank Alspaugh whipped-up new cheers for Saturday's homecoming game. M ysterious Pep Campaign Underway To Rejuvenate Famed -Twelfth Man' University Club To Stage Rally In giant' effort to prove that the Twelfth Man is stilKalive and kick ing although battered, University club pep rousers revealed last night that a surprise celebration will be staged Friday night. Shrouded in mystery, transactions for the affair were manipulated in ut most secrecy as the concensus among pep leaders was that "if something is going to keep Carolina spirit going now it will have to be tricky." , On the QT Committee members have been seen whispering, then shutting like" bear traps when someone came into hear ing and impeachable sources claim that something big is brewing ; but seem toi have little inkling as to ac tual plans. " Only information available was that you can tell the students that when they hear a drum Friday night come a-running and they will get the sur prise of the season." Cloaked With Quiet The information as to the nature and program of the event is being cloaked with quiet has led correspond ents to believe that no plans whatso ever have been formulated. This alle gation was refuted by the "commit tee," as the sponsoring group chooses to be termed, with a statement that Sve have plenty cooking and a great deal already off the fire.. If you want See PEP RALLY, page 2 He stressed the fact that students should have no timidity in trying Out, for auditions are informal and each student will audition alone before the judges. Students wishing to offer in strumental talent are requested to bring their own instruments. Additional Judges Two additional judges, chosen from the faculty, will be added to the pres ent staff of nine appointed from the student legislature. "Technique is unimportant," Rider stated, "and students who have talent need have no fear because their abili ties are not polished. The average listener to a radio pro gram likes to relax and be entertain ed," he continued. "Listeners know little about technique, and care little about the mental exercise necessary See TALENT SEARCH, page h News Briefs FDR, May Seek Legislation Outlawing Defense Strikes By United Press WASHINGTON President Roosevelt said today that he was considering asking Congress for legislation to curb strikes in de fense industries by putting teeth in the government's voluntary mediation machinery. His disclosure came at a press con ference, as John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers Associa tion, showed no signs of yielding to Presidential demands that he call off the striking Pennsylvania coal miners. Lewis' unrelenting attitude touched off bitter controversy. Chairman Jo siah JBailey of the Senate commerce committee introduced an amendment to the pending neutrality revision bill which would classify all defense strikes as acts of sabotage and sub ject violators to a $10,000 fine. WASHINGTON President Roose velt asserted .today that there is no question about the validity of his claims against the Germans. He also set down his claim that he possesses documents revealing a German " plan to abolish all religion and establish a Nazi dominated church that will spread Hitler's creed. MOSCOW Two new German of fensives against Moscow were admit ted, last night, and continued Axis ad vances were admitted by the Rus sians today, as a major crisis rapidly approaced. New Nazi Offensive ' Moscow radio said the Germans had thrust a new salient against the capi tal and against a city 60 miles to the northwest, Volokolamsk, mentioned in a communique for the first time, and . See NEWS BRIEFS, page I SatterReld's Band I Specializes in Negro Melodic Moods Top Arrangements .Follow Basic Style . By Billy Webb The music of Johnny Satterfield, campus impresario of Negro melodic moods, is different because his band is a unique combination of the styles of Ellington, Basie, Barnet, and Good man. Satterfield resembles Ellington in depth. The individual style of Elling ton is derived from the interpretation of each note separately, but with re gard for the other notes in the phrase. Such thorough interpretation is term Hobbs Announces Revised Rulings OnPhysEdCuts AIT students who fail physical edu cation will not only be required . to make up the failure, thus doubling their original physical education cur riculum, but will also be required to pay, at the regular hourly rate, for this additional work, Dean A. W. Hobbs announced yesterday. Course Required Every student is required to take physical education, and the only way to obtain exemption is to present an official excuse, either from the Uni versity infirmary in case of physical disability, or from Dean Bradshaw, chairman of the committee on exemp tions, to Professor Siewert in Wool len gym. However, the deadline for such exemptions was October 5, and unless a student's status has changed since that date no exemptions will be allowed. Cuts in this course will also be held to a minimum, Hobbs stated. Three absences will place a student on pro bation and any further absences will cause failure. It will be within the discretion of the Dean concerned whether a more severe penalty shall be applied in a particular case. i ed depth, and constitutes the major part of what is called Satterf ield's style. In a recent Metronome article, John Hammond, Columbia records executive who judged last year's swing contest, considered Johnny's interpretations "tops." So much emphasis has been put upon emotional phrasing by the band that the name of the band was reduced to Satterfield and his disci ples. To illustrate his principal of music, leader Satterfield who plays the piano, wrote a slow, rhythmic tune called "Madam I'm in Music not Business. Council Nominates Men For Class Honor Group The freshman political drive enters its final stage today as 47 candidates for the four class offices, Student legislature, and freshman honor council round out brief campaigns. Yesterday 19 freshmen were nominated in MemoriaHiall for the Student legislature. Before calling for nominations from the Safety Council Sets Deadline Driving Permits Due November 7 Mac MacLendon, Safety Council head, announced yesterday that the extended registration period for stu dent automobiles will close November 7. Extended last week, when Council heads were forced to place an order for additional plates, registration of student cars must be made by dead line. Failure to oblain a license will result in suspension of driving privi leges for the remainder of the quar ter, MacLendon said. To Check Lists Explaining the Council's procedure in checking up on the registration lists, MacLendon said that registrants will be checked against lists of fra ternities, town organizations, and the Inter-dormitory council. Valid for Year MacLendon said that licenses ob tained now will be valid through Sep- tember, 1942. r r - : "' r ': He pointed out that cars kept at the University for a continuous period of two weeks or more must be regis tered. Further, he explained, "all town students who have a car registered in their own name must secure a student license, or all town students who have a car soieiy xor tneir own use musi m i 1 X also secure a license. Graduates, regis tered in the University, are also re quired to obtain licenses," he con eluded. The unprecedented increase from the 200 students who registered auto mobiles las year to the more than 300 who have registered this year caused the extension of the deadline, MacLen don said. Additional plates have been received, however, and the Council is prepared to license all students. Red Cross to Conduct Membership Contest A contest for resident University groups will be conducted by the lo cal chapter of the Red Cross, it was announced yesterday. The building ' which enrolls the most members in the Red Cross drive will be awarded one of four prizes to fraternities, "sororities, men's dormitories and women's dor mitories. The national roll call is estimated at present to be 8,600,000, but be?" cause of the emergency the mini mum goal has been set at 12,000,000. Canvassing committees are covering every - dormitory, and fraternity house this week. Winners of the contest will be an nounced in the Daily Tar Heel on November 7. Written in the same tempo and mood, Frank Justice composed the "Medita tion of a Faun." . Basie is responsible for the out standing solos which are featured in the band. Frank Justice, playing a 21 year old, corroded alto sax, manages to push unusual ad lib solos from his antiquated instrument. Justice picked up his battered horn in a pawn shop, and has never bothered to clean it, just plays it. Justice's style is differ ent in the way he slides into a note and his tendency to .attack each note. Wade Denning, the only music ma jor in the band, ad libs on trumpet, floor, Truman Hobbs, presiding over the assembly, stressed the importance of the legislature and urged that the men nominated be fully capable and "willing to give up a good deal of time to the job." Regular Members The three freshmen elected to the legislature will become regular mem bers immediately. , Last night in a special meeting, the Student council nominated 20 fresh men; seven will be elected to the class honor council. This group will review minor cases of breach of the honor system. Final decisions in all such cases, however, rest with the Student ocunciL ' ; ' Election Tomorrow Elections of class officers, legisla tive and freshman honor council men will be held tomorrow. Polls will be located in the small lobby of the YMCA, and freshmen may vote any time between 9 and 5 o'clock. No lob bying will be allowed and all voters were asked to make selections and then leave. Expenditure Statement Candidates were reminded that "a final statement of all campaign ex penditures must be turned in to the office of the Dean of Students, 205 South , building, by 3 o'clock tomor row afternoon." '"y'v Those nominated yesterday for the legislature were John Davis, Lane Stokes, James Evans, Reid Thomp son, John Siblen, Dick Harshaw, Walk- See FROSH ELECTIONS, page 4 Phi Approves Bill To Alter Election Of Debate Council In crowded Phi hall last night, 53 members of the assembly unanimously approved a bill to reorganize the De bate Council. .! By the new proposal, the two mem bers that are elected from the campus in the present council would be elimi nated, and in their stead would be sub stituted two members elected from the debate squad. One would become chair man, of the council and the other, ex ecutive secretary. Of the two from the societies one would be executive chair man and in charge of freshman de bates; the other would be a member of the Student legislature. The membership roll of the assem bly was completed with the initiation ast night of 12 people: Rachael Sides, Joe Lehman, John Allen, Pat Henritzy, Helen Broughton, Edwin Boone, James Ladd, Ray Fisch, Lester Rosskam, Dick Handell, Bernice Eltinge, and Bob pple. i . House Speaks Dean R. B. House, in an address to the joint supper of the Sophomore YMCA Cabinet and the junior-senior supper forum, attended by 50 students, stressed the importance of religion in the personal life. Critic Hammond Praises Orchestra Bob Montgomery soloing in a smooth, subdued manner on the trombone. Bob Saunders, lead trumpeter, is outstand ing for his range. The band emulates Barnet in pre cision, and - Goodman in consistency, the effort to make each tune solid. Satterfield 's band plays in a relaxed manner, emphasis being placed upon the individual rather than upon sec tion work. Members of the band play freely, with no restrictions as to style or phrasing.
