Networks offer
special programs
to help with draft
An event of special interest to
all record collectors will be the re
lease of the old Bessie Smith &
Louis Armstrong records. Walt's
say the sets will contain four rec
ords each and will be in within
a day or so.
Victor, you will remember, put
out a reissue in July of this year
on Decca and this is Columbia's
answer. These sides were all
made before Swing took hold on
the nation and if you don't believe
good swing music was made from
'28 to '30 just listen to these rec
ords. Bessie Smith was the predeces
sor of Billie Holiday, Mildred
Bailey, etc., and as somebody once
said, "She is everything real about
swing. She is now dead but her
work will be admired for many
years to come."
SWING.
Pensylvania 6-50000. Beat Me
Daddy ( Eight to the Bar) . . . An
drews Sisters... (Decca).
The Andrews sisters haven't
done well on their last few records,
eo this will be a relief to their
fans. PENN. 6-50000 is a vocal
rendition of Glenn Miller's fea-i
tured number. Beat Me Daddy'
is the best of the two good sides.
Vic Shoen and his band give won
derful backing to both the sisters
and Patty's solo on this side. Best
swing record of the week.
Fiasquita Serenade. Sextet from
Lucia... John Kirby . . . (Okeh).
This record swings two light
classical pieces that you have
heard many times. I like Kirby's
style and on the first' side he
sounds more relaxed than ever.
Take particular notice of Billy
Kyle's piano and Buster Bailey's
clarinet.
Moten Swing. Evenin'. . .Count
Basie. . . (Okeh).
Moten Swing is a new version of
the piece that the Count was first
featured on, many years ago. I
like the piano and the trumpet but
I can t see the last part of this one
Evenin' consists mainly of a
James Rushing vocal. If you like
his singing, which I don't, you will
want this record.
Reminiscing. Peaceful Valley
Charlie Barnet. .. (Bluebird).
Good reed work on Peaceful
Valley. Reminiscing sounds like
Barnet has been thinking morbid
thoughts. Very slow and weird.
The record doesn't take that
poweiful clarinet in spots, either
Our Love Affair. That's for Me...
T. Dorsey . . . (Victor).
Typical Dorsey record featuring
Tommy plus trombone. Good Si-
rmtra vocal.
SWEET.
How Come You Do Me Like You
Do? Smoke Get in Your eyes
Dinah Shore. . . (Okeh).
Probably the record of the week.
The first side is done with a
Dixieland backing and is one of
the best vocals I've heard i.i a
long time. The other side is played
frtraight but Dinah makes it sound
tempting.
Whatever Happened to You?
There I Go. . .Vaughn Monroe. . .
(Bluebird).
A new band trying to sound
like Miller. There I Go is the best.
Bide with Vaughn on the vocal and
a nice reed section. A fair start,
nothing sensational.
Where the Blue of the Night.
Waltz You Saved for Mc.Bing
Crosby. . . (Decca).
This is a record many people
have been waiting for, Bing's
theme song. Mr. Crosby is backed
by an Organ, a Vibraphone, and a
Guitar. It produces an interesting
effect.
Ferryboat Serenade. The Call of
the Canyon. . . Kay Kyser. . . (Co
lumla). Ginny Simms has an effective
voice and puts her best into this
record. Ferryboat Serenade is
probably the best side, with a nice
novelty arrangement, If I liked
Kyser, maybe I could go for this
one.
To aid the government in reg
istering men for army service on
Oct. 16, the Columbia Broadcast
ing System is presenting a series
of five minute programs each
Tuesday and Thursday over KFAB
and other affiliated stations at
9:15 p. m.
All questions arising in connec
tion with the draft will be an
swered on the program. The other
networks are planning similar
programs." KFOR will carry the
National Broadcasting company's
program which is being tenta
tively planned for the days when
CBS and the Mutual Broadcasting
company will not have broadcasts.
By their pledge pin ye shall know them
Attention, fraternity men! This
article was originally intended to
educate the women on the campus
to recognize fraternity pledge
badges, but in gleaning this infor
mation via telephone, we find that
you fellows ought to read this
article too.
Acacia's pledge button is a black
circle with a gold band around it
and a gold right triangle in the
center. The Alpha Gamma Rho
pledges may be recognized by a
round, green button bounded by
gold containing a gold sheaf of
wheat. The Alpha Sigma Phi fra
ternity has a diamond-shaped pin
divided into three colored squares,
red, gold and pearl.
And all those round white but
tons with the gold crescent moon
Orchesis offers chance for
dance-minded to practice art
Dancing in the modern way is
resuming; its place on the campus
this year with Orchesis, women's
dancing organization, as tne spon
sor. Orchesis offers to girls who
like to dance, experience in va
rious forms of the art, and com
petent instruction as well.
A probation period in which the
new members will train with those
who have been in the club is
scheduled for three consecutive
Wednesdays, Oct. 2, 9 and 16.
These classes will be from 7:10
p. m. to 7:45 p. m. and any girl
may come if only to watch. Or
chesis will regularly meet from
7:00 p. m. to 9:00 p. m. on Wed
nesdays, and a recital will be
planned for next spring.
Test given.
A simple test will be given at
the end of the probation period
on the things which were studied
during that time, and those girls
will be elected to membership who
have shown enough interest, am
bition and talent for the work.
Orchesis especially stresses the
fact that previous experience is
not necessary, that one need not
be profesional in order to join its
ranks. The organization attempts
to keep an average of about 17
or 18 members, but is willing to
increase its number if more than
that meet qualifications.

Alpha Tau Omega pieciges. me
Beta Sioma Ptl pledges wear the
square that is divided diagonally,
one side is red, the other, white.
The white shield, shaped like a
concave rectangle with the rour
corners chewed off and containing
three gold stars running diagonal
ly down the center belongs to the

Thi two nixnointed stars, red
over blue, are claimed by the Chi
Phi's. The Delta Tau Delta pledge
pin has two deltas intertwined on
a white background. The band
around it is gold. Delta Upsllon

stands on a background of blue.
The Farm House pledges wear a
gold shield with bands of green
and white and a center of gold.

ning across the blue pin of Phi
Delta Theta is a white band con
taining Greek letters. Both above
and below the strips are three gold
stars. Phi Gamma Delta has a
striking white star.
On the black enamel shield of
Phi Kappa Psi is the gold lamp of
wisdom. The majouta colored cir
cle of Phi Sigma Kappa contains
three gold T's, one up, one down,
one double crossed. The shape of
the Pi Kappa Alpha pledge pin is
generally rectangular. On its
white background is the Greek
letter Pi.
Within the purple diamond of
Sigma Alpha Epsilon is a gold
wreath which encloses a white
circle. In the center are the gold
Greek letters, Phi Alpha. The blue
octangonal pledge pin of Sigma
Alpha Mu contains a white Sigma.
Slama Chi has a blue shield on
which is placed a white cross.

a blue triangular pin on which i
imposed the Greek letter Rho.
And what we'd like to know is

pledge button and a gruff voice,
or did we get the wrong number?
