Dance Experts Continue
Drama Experiment Here
RV cara Yokeler 3-
Linda Locke, member of Dancers En
Route, is continuing this summer the
experiment that she has been conduct
ing in Chapel Hill since last Septem
ber with Elizabeth Waters and Bill
Myers. Their aim is "to concentrate in
a small community, to give concerts
and to see how much interest can be
aroused in the field of the dance."
In cooperation with the Playmakers,
Miss Locke is now teaching a class in
body movement that shows the con
nection between the dance and drama.
The course is being offered to high
school boys and girls who are members
of the Junior Playmakers.
In addition, Miss Locke is teaching
contemporary dancing to a group com
posed of nineteen girls, interested in
dancing or in teaching dancing to
young children.
On July 17 Miss Locke will leave
for Ted Shawn's camp, Jacob's Pil
lar, in Lee, Mass. There she and Eliza
beth Waters, now at Converse Collegl
in Spartanburg, S. C. and Bill Myen
will give concerts.
Although not members of the Cart.
lina faculty Miss Locke, Miss Waters
and Myers have, been connected with
other departments on the campus. Mu
sic students have composed music and
the art department has made masques
for their dances. Journalism students
have reviewed all the dance concerts
and education majors have attended
the classes in search of new methods of
teaching. This past winter Miss Wat
ers aided the dramatic department di
rectly by teaching expressive move
ment to members of the Playmakers.
"Chapel Hill," says Miss Locke, "is
the center for drama and for music
in the south. We would like to make
it the functional center for dancing,
"teaching the people in the south what
they are interested in learning."

Alumnus Johnson Leads
Fort Monmouth Band
Thor M. Johnson, alumnus of UNC
and a noted musician here, enlisted for
the armed service May 30 and is now
stationed at Fort Monmouth, New Jer
sey.
Johnson got his start in music as
leader of the Carolina Ensemble here,
and previous to his enlistment he was
assistant professor of music at the
University of Michigan and had con
ducted the Grand Rapids Symphony
Orchestra for two years.
The musician is now head of the
Signal CorpsRTC band of Fort Mon
mouth, and is awaiting admission to
warrant officers' school.
RADIO STUDIO
(Continued from first page)
problems each station encountered and
to serve as a clearing ground for
communication among the members.
New York 'was chosen as the proper
location for the offices.
The students at Columbia, hearing
of the experiment at Brown, a year
and a half ago, began their station
in much the same fashion as the ori
ginal group. Faculty and administra
tion adopted a hands-off attitude, leav
ing it entirely to the students to build,
equip and manage their own station.
Shortly after its conception the
Columbia University Radio Club, from
which their call letters, CURC are
taken, was organized. This body of
fifty members took over an old store
room of the University press, out
fitted it with radio equipment, all of
which the students themselves built
except the microphones and set up
business as a member of the IBS.
Like all stations in the network,
they function exclusive of the other
members of the system, no communi
cation other than written passes
among the stations. At present a
scheme whereby programs of the dif
ferent groups will be transcribed and
sent to member stations from which
they may be re-broadcast, is planned.
Another peculiarity of the system
that makes it unique from the com
mercial networks is its use of the
electric system for broadcasting, simi-

The Navy's V-l Accredited Col

deck or engineering officers (V-7) and
for aviation officers (V-5). Freshmen
and Sophomores who enlist in the
Navy's Class V-l and qualify for
deck or engineering officers training
will be sent to a training school as
midshipmen and will receive an in
tensive course in seamanship, ord
nance and navigation.

Caravan," and regular dues from
members of the club, they are pay
ing back this debt. The use of these
commercial programs is extensive
throughout the entire network. Each
sponsor sends transcripts of his pro
grams to the various groups who sup
ply local announcers in their re-broadcasts.
The station at Columbia features
campus news, remote coverages of
baseball games, guests from the ra
dio and stage, university faculty mem
bers, instruction in Morse code, re-
broadcasts of transcripts from the
treasury department and "You Can't
Do Business with Hitler," and also
recently sponsored a drive for the sale
of defense savings stamps as part
of their broadcasting schedule.
On the night of December 7, they
extended their usual broadcast hours
of 18 to stay on the air all night
and read news of the war develop
ments coming into the journalism de
partment on the ticker tape. Their
proud boast is that they beat some
of the big networks to the announce
ment of some of the news items.
The Columbia group has just or
ganized a personnel division to make
contacts with CBS and NBC to assist
graduates of their work to find jobs
n big-time radio.
Two of their staff members at the
present are Kingsley Colton, of "Let's
Pretend" and Jimmy Donnally, juvenile
in the "Mary Marlin" program, who
are learning radio direction at Colum
bia in the hope of continuing that
work on the networks.
Miss Horn's own duties, she con
fesses, cover a multitude of fields,
from directing, to announcing, to typ
ing scripts and working the turn
tables, proving that work at the "Voice
of the Roaring Lion," Columbia's slo
gan, is more than the play it might
appear to be.

Army Strives to Serve
Men Finest of Foods
By Harry M. Hess, Jr.
United Press Staff Correspondent
CHICAGO, Aug. 3 (UP) The US
Quartermaster Corps Subsistence De
pot has set up a scientific laboratory
here to perfect foods for a modern
army that not only marches on its
stomach but also runs, rides, jumps
and scales mountains sometimes
thousands of miles from home sta
tions. In the heart of the nation's food
producing area, CoL Eohland A. Isker
directs a staff of trained biochemists,
physiologists, technical advisers and
specialists in a search for foods to
meet every, conceivable field condition.
The laboratory is one of the most
advanced food research centers in the
world. It developed the famous field
ration "K," a semi-emergency ration
for soldiers out of touch with the camp
kitchen, and the other emergency ra
tions. It also plans army post menus.
Technicians are at work analyzing
thousands of food samples, sent by
manufacturers from all over the coun
try, in an effort to determine their
suitability for the army
Must Have Eye Appeal
These samples are tested for quali
ties, purity, nutritive value and tasti
ness and are then "broken down" to
reveal their chemical components, cal
ory and vitamin content. Samples
failing to meet rigid army specifica
tions are rejected.
Before foods are finally selected for
army use they must be tested for eye
appeal and tastiness. Enter the
"Guinea Pig Club" technicians, many
of them expert cooks, who prepare
sample meals three times a day and
sit down to eat them.
Foods that may have passed all
other tests are rejected here if they
fail to satisfy the tastes of the "guinea
pigs." The laboratory motto is "if
it doesn't look right and taste right,
no matter how many vitamins or cal
ories the food contains, we will not
serve it to the soldiers."
Encountered Fish Week
The "Guinea Pig Club" routine is
a constant round of innovation. At a
luncheon attended by this correspond
ent the entre was Drum fish, a large
salt water species caught off the coast
of Virginia and rarely seen in inland
markets.
"They've been bombarding us with
fish this week," remarked the officer
who had cooked the meal. "This fel
low you're eating may prove valuable
if the East Coast should be blockaded.
He's a shallow water fish and we could
still catch him even if deeper waters
were in enemy hands."
After the meal, one of the assist
ants described a recent addition to
the series of army food experiments
research on dehydrated foods.
The whole thing adds up to this,"
he said. "What's the use of shipping
nine pounds of water for each- ten
pounds of bulk food when you can
dehydrate it, ship the food, and then
add water wThen it is used."
Dehydrated Vegetables
"The trouble is," he added, "that
the stuff is mostly in the experimental
stage. We have to convince every
Tom, Dick and Harry that he isn't
going to make a million selling the
army dehydrated foods."
At present, he said, the army is
able to ship dehydrated potatoes,
onions, carrots, cabbages, beets, ruta
bagas, sweet potatoes, soups, eggs
and milk.
The advantages, he added, are shown
Farrell Completes
Midshipman Course
Frank Morgan Farrell, graduate
uaroiina in the class of 1939, will com
plete a four months' midshipman
course at Abbott Hall in Chicago on
August 3, a release from Naval Head
quarters indicated today. He will be
assigned to sea duty immediately upo
receiving the commission of ensien in
v as,
the United States Naval Reserve.
After having graduated from the
Commerce School of the Universitv of
North Carolina with a Bachelor of
Science degree in Commerce, Farrell
was employed as an accountant in New
York City, his home. During his years
at Chapel Hill, he was prominent in
varsity athletics, having been captain
of the tennis team.
SAFETY COUNCIL

that the Safety Council would prob
ably have to work with local gas sta
tions and that violations by a minority
or bootleg gas would probably be con
sidered Student Council offenses next
year.
As far as it can be ascertained, the
University of North Carolina student
body is the first in the country to self-
impose a system of rationing of un
necessary student travel in order to do
their share in the war effort Indica
tions point that this initial move of
self-control on the part of Carolina
students will probably spread to other
campuses of the country.
