Now stationed in the United States Navy School of Music, sWashing ton, D. C, Jones graduated from the University in 1938 with an A.B. in music. From 1938 to 1941 he taught instrumental music in the Durham city schools; in 1942 he received his M JV. degree in composition from the Eastman School of Music, and since that time has taught 'composition and theory at the Navy School of Mu sic. He has also continued his study of " composition witF Nadia Boulanger and Nicholas Nabokoff, and is a member of the National Association of Composers and Conductors and of the American Musicological society. In Neo-Classical Style His "Suite for Strings" which will be played by the Orchestra is in neo-classical style, using the dance forms of the classic suite in a con temporary idioni. According to Symphony. Director Benjamin F. Swalin, "It is absolute music hav ing no program and telling no story; it is contrapuntal in style with un usual rhythmical effects. There are many cases of poly-choral and poly tonal effects, but at no time is it a tonal." The composition was written last year and is dedicated to Mr. Jones daughter, Gwenyth.

Bill, the Vet erans Administration has ruled. The decision was based on a case in volving a husband and wife, both vet erans, with one child. It stated that the maximum of $90 per month sub sistence allowance would be paid only if the woman's outside income from productive work did not exceed $110 per month. The woman claimed the child as her dependent for the purpose of the sub sistence even though her husband was in training under the same law and was receiving a subsistence allowance of $90 a month because he had a de pendent (the wife). Under the Servicemen's Readjust ment Act, an eligible veteran is en titled to a subsistence of $65 a month if he or she has no dependents, ot $90 t if there are one or more dependents, provided his or her income from pro- - ductive work does not exceed $110 a month. . The question whether the woman veteran in the case was entitled to $90 subsistence allowance because of the child was considered in the light of previous opinions and decisions, cov ering the recognition of a child as the dependent of a woman veteran.

However, it became so popular with veterans and coeds that upon demand, the juke box was silenced so that the Twilight Six could play for the re mainder of the evening. Members of the band are Jim Craw ford, Art Soybel, Jerry McDuffy, Skip Etheridge, and Jack Burney. Officers Meet , Wells also announced last night that a joint meeting of all AUS and or ganized reserve corps .officers of the Army Ground forces will be held Mon day evening in Gerrard hall at 8 o' clock in the evening. He stated that a release from the Public Relations office of the North Carolina district reported that all AUS officers must apply for their re serve commissions prior to June 30 in order to retain their rank. tion among the new dance bands of the day.

The college crowd apparently went for his smooth, zestful rhythms which he has augmented with many inno vations of an almost revolutionary na ture. A number of Lawrence's or chestrations have parts for French horn, oboe, flute, English horn, and bassoon, instruments heretofore con sidered for long hairs only. Although Lawrence receives 100 per cent billing, 'it cannot be overlooked that he is bringing with him Jack Hunter and Rosalyn Patton, vocalists who have waxed what swing bugs re gard as some of the best discs of the season. Feature Filia Trumpeter Also featured is comparatively un known trumpeter Alex Filia. His ob scurity. -is attributed "chiefly to his youth, but swing circles agree that the young hornster will develop into one of the finer soloists in the business. With his vocalists and instrumen tal soloists, Lawrence will bring to the campus a combination of distinc tive arrangements to "make for mu sic in the mood that young dancers seem to want."
