NOUNCES TENTATIVE ARRANGE
MENT FOR CONCERT JOURNEY
A summer concert trip to the Pa
cific coast is being planned for the
University band, C. B. Cornell, direc
tor of the band announced Thursday.
Mr. Cornell intended to lay the plan
before Chancellor Avery during the
day.
"The tentative plan would permit
the band to leave Lincoln about the
middle of June," said Mr. CornelL
"The band would go as a military
organization. We would stage drills
every place we stopped. It would be
a sixty-day trip.
"A Chicago booking agent will make
contracts for the concert dates."
The Idea sounded good to members
of the band who were told about it
by Mr. Cornell Thursday. The direc
tor's plans are to have the band men
take military drill during the re
mainder of the school term In prep
aration for the exhibition drills on
the trip.
