The YWCA has become an alive campus organization, ac tively participated in by a ma jority of the coeds, largely through, Kay's hard work and behind-the-scene guidance since her arrival here late in 1944.

Ray McKinley Led Miller 's Band In Army Life The new band fronted by drummer-scat vocalist Ray Mc-j Kinley is formed of ex-GI side- men who played with Glenn Mil ler's famous Army Air Corps unit which went under McKin- ey's direction after the loss of Miller in a flight to France in December, 1944. It was McKinley who originaly aided Miller in forming the ser vice orchestra and who served as Miller's assistant during the band's earlier years. At the end of the war, McKinley took the nucleus of his present orchestra from the many musicians con nected with the overseas dance unit; ' : : r ! T ' McKinley's entrance into the j Army came some nine months after he began his band-leading career with a group that found time to make such hits as "Hard Hearted Hanna" before dissolv ing. Prior to his first major role as a leader, McKinley had become famous through his boogie antics with Will Bradley and Jimmie Dorsey. After a brief stretch with the Dorsey Brothers. Band, Mc Kinley joined Jimmie. Dorsey. His cymbals and scat vocal were heard on the Dorsey platter hit "Dusk in Upper Sandusky." In 1939, McKinley joined a partnership venture with Will Bradley, the band going unler Bradley's leadership. It was dur ing this time that McKinley and Freddie Slack combined to re cord such eight-to-the-bar speci alities as "Down the Road' A Piece." McKinley also vocalized the Bradley interpretations of "Scrub Me Mamma" and "Beat Me Daddy Eight to the Bar."

Kay has also noticed that the coeds are taking a larger part in campus activities, believ ing that this campus gives an opportunity for a student to be hyper-active or in a state of inertia, the choice being left to the individual.

Yack Due June 5 Seniors Plan Party WSSF Totals Given NUMBER 92 on this week, and that the trans- portation mixup has caused some uncertainty as to when the printers will be able to make the total shipment. The printers said that the motor trucking companies were reluctant to make partial shipments, and the total Yack order of 3,000 books would not be completed to ship all at once. Seniors First ' Editor Flagler said that every effort would be made to take care of the seniors and other stu dents who will not return to Carolina. Those students who will return, to Carolina for sum mer school are requested by edi- tor Flagler to wait until then to call for their books. Lower- classmen who will return next fall will be able to secure the books then, or will be able to get them this summer by stopping by he Yack office. Circulation of the Yacks to seniors will begin as soon as the books arrive after final exams. Those students who have mis sed terms since November will have to pay an additional $1.50 per term in order to secure a copy of the book. Publications fees started in November and en rollment from then through the present term was necessary in order to pay the total fee. Books will be sold for $4.00 to those students who have not paid regi stration fees to the University. Navy men fit into this category. Not Enough for All Increased enrollment has ef fected a difficulty in that there will not be enough yearbooks for every student enrolled; con sequently those students who have pictures in the Yack and those students who enrolled in November will have priority on the books. The order of 3,000 had to be made at the first of the year on a guess as to how many yearbooks would be needed, and enrollment over the last two terms has exceeded this figure by a little over 1,000. Editor Flagler said that he was sorry for the delay since he had hoped the books would be ready for circulation this week. Last week he learned from the printers that a shipment might be made this week, but a delay in the shipment of tle covers from Kihgsport, Tenn. caused an all around delay in completing the book. Workman Is Elected Chairman of Council At a recent meeting of the Carolina Workshop Council, Bill Workman, dramatic arts major, was elected chairman of the council for next year. Dee Sweat, art major, was elected secretary and Dick Cox, music major, was named treasurer.
