THE NEBRASKAN Thursday, March 21, 1943 Page 4 1 'Hi 4i BY PAT GILLIGAN. We find it rather hard to ex tract news from these close mouthed students (at least on some subjects). To quote Gay Ed ling, "We are going to No, I'd better not tell you that. Harry thinks Well, we'll get some lor you." In spite of their help, we did glean these meagre tidbits though. Grade Smith has shown her preference for Fremont boys and that doesn't include the Taus.

Alvino Rey, who was featured at the Turnpike Friday night, has organized a new band, which should prove to be competition for a top rating. With the ending of the war, many of the former bandleaders are re-entering the music field and Rey, having been discharged from the navy, lost no time in following his former pro fession. In an interview Sunday, Rey revealed future plans to regain his title of "the nation's most en tertaining band." "Several changes will have to be made in the pres ent arrangement," he said. "We are drawing most of our men from veterans, but naturally, we will steal the best sidemen we can get from other bands. For instance, Chuck Peterson (formerly with Tommy Dorsey and Woody Her man) is joining our trumpet sec tion Wednesday in Des Moines, as well as a new lead alto sax man and a drummer." Alvino has some new ideas he is using to re-establish the band. Junior Division Lists Reasons Students Leave Employment, hi-alth and mili tary service seem to be the main hindrance which prevent many university students from finishing the four-year couse and obtaining a degree, according to a recently completed university study. An analysis was made of the freshman class during the 1944-45 school year' by the junior division in an effort to determine why students quit school. The survey was made in the junior division because all students are required to enroll in this division. Statistics. Of 1,494 students registered in the freshman class that year, 156 withdrew. The reasons: military service, 59:. health 20; jobs ob tained, 17; going home, 13; mar ried, 9; unsatisfactory scholarship, 7; moved from state, 5; dissatisfied with course, 4; finances, 4; lack of interest, 4; enrolled in another school, 4. Additional reasons: mother's request 2; difficulty in study, lived with relatives, recommended by Veterans Administration, death in family, husband returning from overseas, illness of mother all one student each.

He is using three muted trumpets playing against three open trum pets to produce unusual and beau tiful tone color. To give more body to his music, he has two baritone saxes. Rey is playing the guitar slightly different than usual. Instead of playing "take offs" with a million notes, he plays single notes. He expressed it as "playing the guitar like Claude Thornhill plays the piano." As for arrangers, Alvino has a good share of the best. George Handy, who has a reputation for "writing the best full-band jazz based music being heard any where," wrote a special called "Stocking Horse." Other top ar rangers include Bud Estes, Hal Mooney, Billy May, Dean Kin kade, and Sam Levine. Both Kin kade and Levine play trombone with the band and the latter.'s rendition of "The Blues" is hard to beat. Vocalists. The orchestra boasts 26 pieces, including the vocalists, four men and a gal, called The Airliners.
