Faculty Senah
BY BOB HOLLAND.
In their first general meeting
since Student Council considera
tion of their organizational char
ter, one hundred and thirty-five
veterans voted last night to sub
mit their constitution, over Coun
cil disapproval, to the faculty sen
ate for consideration.
Their decision was to present
their constitution without incor
porating in it any of the changes
recommended by the student body.
In discussion from the floor, these
were labelled "petty" and "irrev
alent," and the general expression
of sentiment was that these
changes would serve to keep the
organization from performing its
intended operations on the cam
pus. Tublic Relations Secretary
Richard Sinsel stated, "We intend
to take this question right up the
'chain of command" until we et
enough taxpayers' support behind
us so that they'll have to let us
in."
700 Membership Goal.
In line with the Council sug
gestion for a larger, more repre
sentative body, however, Chair
man Mitchell announced that 8
survey of available vets during
the past week had shown that
many of them would favor some
organization. Accordingly, he
urged the whole body to make a
concerted drive for membership,
and set a goal of seven hundred
men to be reached if possible."

Thurscilffly KI Club
Sonny Dunham, America's foremost trumpet and trom
bone stylist, will play for the Junior-Senior Prom on April 5!
Announcement that Dunham will be here for the affair
was made by the Prom committee Tuesday. The orchestra,
rated among the top 15 swing bands in a national poll con
ducted by Downbeat magazine this spring, features Louise
Douglas and Pete Hanley, soloists.
Maestro Dunham will bring a 15-piece orchestra to the
coliseum in addition to the two soloists and himself. He will
play for four hours, from 8 to.12 p. m. Dunham's most re
cent engagement was at the Flaglar Gardens in Miami, Fla.
Ticket Sale.
Tickets will go on sale Thursday, according to Gerald
Kathol, president of the N Club which is sponsoring the af
fair. They may be obtained from any N Club member or in
the activities office in the coliseum. The price per couple is
$2.50 plus 50c tax.
Filings for Prom Girl may be made in the Student Ac
tivities office from March 14th to 19th. Only junior and
senior women are eligible to compete for this honor. The
Prom Girl will be chosen by the couples attending the dance.
Their choice will be written on the back of the ticket on
entrance to the event.
The Prom, a semi-formal affair, will be open to fresh-,
men and sophomores as well as upperclassmen.
Rated Tops.
Dunham, once a star with the bands of Paul Tremaine
and Glen Gray's Casa Loma, is now bracketed by the trade
reviewers of Tin Pan Alley with the nation's top flight
bands, on the basis of engagements at theatres, ballrooms
and nite clubs, as well as radio.
Dunham's ability to play trombone and trumpet altern
ately have amazed physicians as well as musicians. The feat
is most noteworthy because each instrument requires a
special set of lip muscles whose shape goes by the fancy
name of "embouchre." The embouchre for the trumpet is
small; for the trombone, large.
In January, 1939, less ten years after he first played
the trumpet, Metronome voted Dunham first among hot
trumpeters. The following month he scored in the charmed
circle of Downbeat's first five trumpeters. To further con
fuse matters, he returned to score high in another Metro
nome pol for trombone specialists.

1.
"We found that there were just
as many students and faculty op
posed to the change as were in
favor of it, continued Dr. Rosen
lof. Many have already made def
inite plans and since the calendar
is made up so far in advance, the
reasons for change are insuffi
cient." T Students.
In a statement to the students
Dr. Rosenlof said :"I hope the de
cision will not cause ill feeling or
offend the students. Unfortunate
ly this year's calendar was
planned during wartime but I as-
