Saturday Lineup Is Tops
By BILL PENICK

The lineup which will fill the
Union's enlarged bandstand tomor- row night when Jimmie Lunceford
takes over includes some of the
most famous names in the music
business. Probably best known in- strumentalist with the group is
James "Trummie" Young, trom- bonist and vocalist, who composed
"Taint What

You

Do."

"Whatcha

Know Joe" and, most recently,
"Twenty Four Robbers."
"Trum- mie's" excellent stage personality has
made him one of the most popular
members of the Lunceford band.
Also in the trombone section is
Elmrr Crumbley. whose constant
antics keep things lively on the
bandstand. Trumpeter Paul Web- solos have long

Leader of the rhythm section is

drumming technique and his
ingly steady beat keeps the band
jumping with tremendous drive.
The reed section is recogni:ied to
be one of the best, with alto saxist
Willie Smith and ace tenor sax
soloist Joe Thomas.
With the Lunceford trio, quartet
and glee club for harmony groups
and with Trummie Young and Dan
Grissom taking the vocal solos, the
band shapes up as one of the most
versatile groups in popular music.
After the engagement here to
morrow night, Lunceford and his
orchestra will continue their tour
back to Broadway, where they pre
booked lor the winter season.

generally made against those who counsel noninterventionbut only want America to keep
defense proher head while the
gram gains momentum. We must keep our shirts
on and make good use of the time by building
up hemisphere solidarity, continuing to seek
solutions to the glaring social problems of the
United Slates, and keeping America worth fighting for.

Britain herself subjected to a terrific wave of
bombing attacks, but we will have to sit light

Continued aid to Britain' will give America
r
more time, and
assistance to the
conquered peoples will multiply the knives
ointed at Hitler's back.
The lime will come when Hitler, sated bv ihe
onn'nent of Europe, his hands too full to dare
a crossing of the Atlantic, must stop and trv
to consolidate his gains. With the driving force
of warfare removed, the sop from the conquered
territories coining in in diminishing streams,
food growing more scarce, the German people
will begin to add their grumblings to those of

With the totalitarian reign coming to its

the United Slates, her minds and men untouched,
her economy spared the wrench of wartime,
should be ready to step in and lead the reconstruction and perform a hundred limes more
valuable service to democracy than throwing
a puny army against the armed might of Germany in the early stages of the war.

Very few people who have enrolled
as a freshman four times straight
have done so without failing a
course. The University of Texas has
a student who has done just that.
It happened like this:
He enrolled first for only part of
the freshman course. He passed his
work, and enrolled again as a freshman. This time, he dropped ou of
school and registered for a third
time as a freshman, and passed all
his courses.
When he enrolled again this fall,
it was learned that he lacked six
hours of having enough credits to
be a sophomore. So he is a freshman once more.
