When the University Band paraded
in the rain and mud on Stoll field Sat-

urday at the V.P.I, game , they appeared in regular band uniform for
the first time in history. The band
last year earned for itself the name
of the "Best Band in Dixie." This
year students believe it will hold that
name and will in addition present as
jood an appearance as any band in
the country.
There are 56 uniforms in all of the
standard American Federation of

vith dark blue braid. There are metal
U. of K.'s at the sides of the collars.
Dark blue capes with white satin lin
ings, which are folded back when the
men parade give a "snappy" appearance to the uniform. The drum major's outfit is full West Point style
with a high shako of white fur. The
members of the band are required to
purchase their own uniforms which
cost $30, but when a man leaves the
band he has the standard A.FM. u
which is used all over the coun
try and which he may use ia band
work elsewhere.
Elmer G. Sulzer, from De Pauw
University, is the new band director.
He replaces Sergeant John J. Ken

Dr. and Mrs. Frank L. McVey, returned Tuesday from an extended trip
throughout the western portion of
the United States during which Dr.
McVey made addresses at five state
universities.
"Many of the institutions that I

the local c&npus itself was superior
to most of them," Dr. McVey said.
The president also declared that he
was more than delighted with the
state of Kentucky after his long trip
during which he inspected ten universities and colleges.
Dr. McVey declared that the Uni-- i

because the old buildings are getting
