Marine Band, almost as old as the nation itself, plays in the coliseum Saturday evening, band fans will hear an organization acclaimed "the out standing symphonic military band of our day." In its nearly 150 years ot his toric performance, the band has had some of the country's foremost musicians for its 18 leaders. Un doubtedly the most famous of them all was John Philip Sousa, the "March King." It was for this band that Sousa wrote some of his most famous marches, which still figure prominently, in band per formances. Capt. William F. Santelmann, the present leader, is the son of another Marine Band conductor, William H. Santelman who like Sousa was also a composer. Cap tain Santelmann was appointed to full leadership in 1940 after being second leader and violin soloist with the concert band. The band is called upon to furn ish practically every form of musical fare thruout a year. Its symphonic arrangements, its quar tets and ctring ensembles are as well known in Washington's of See BAND, Page 4 '?! 3 O I ELLIOT LAWRENCE BY JACK HILL Rated by Billboard, nationally circulated show maga zine, as one of the three most promising bands in. the na tion, Elliot Lawrence has been scheduled to play at the Coliseum, Nov. 2, for the Homecoming dance, according to Dean Skokan, Homecoming publicity chairman. Lawrence, a 21 year old former student of the Univer sity of Pennsylvania, conducts an aggregation which col lege students cross the nation rated tops, placing Stan Ken ton and Tex Beneke ahead by a slight vote. The orchestra is said to play 'music of tomorrow, today' and features in struments such as the oboe, french horn and bassoon in a smooth blend of danceable tunes. Playing a series of one-nighters at the present time, Lawrence's orchestra will play for the University of Virginia on Oct. 18 and for the University of Michigan the follow ing week-end. The organization opened at the Hotel Penn sylvania in New York less than two years ago and recent ly concluded an engagement at Frank Dailey's Meadow brook County Club on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. F's meteoric rise has surprised veterans in the music field and pleased his thousands of fans from coast to coast. In the Billboard poll, one enthusiastic voter said, "The Lawrence band voices its slow tunes very beautifully, mak ing perfect dance music." .While chosen as a newcomer, Lawrence was in competition with older organizations such as Beneke's and Kenton's. His appearance here will enable students to compare the three bands and decide for them selves as to the outcome of the poll. Details will be forthcoming as to the actual dance, ac cording to Skokan, but tickets have been priced at $3.00 per couple and tentative arrangements are being made by the Homecoming committee with the co-operation of the Cora Cobs and Tassels.

KU Migration BY NORM LEGER. So you're tired of conventional types of fun coking, dances, and movies. Then gather 'round, ev erybody, and listen. With the nu merous movies out in the past year centering their plots around tram trips, revealing the gay ad venture to be found while riding cnoo choos, you, too, can now share the excitement and hilariety by taking a trip on a train, the "Jay Hawk Special," this Satur day to Lawrence. Kansas, to at tend the KU game. This, my dear people, is the migration trip, one oi the most enjoyable school events of the year, just ask any alum who made the trip in pre war days, and he will tell you! In the first place, vim-vieor-and -vitality Dodie Easterbrook is in charge of the migration, so you can have little doubt as to the amount of fun in store. Dodie has announced that any migrators who play instruments, horns, harmon icas, and squeeze-boxes, are to bring their instruments with them, and add to the high spirit that will be evidenced by the migrat ing Huskers. The set-up on hours is as fol lows: the train leaves Lincoln at 7 a. m. Saturday and arrives in Lawrence at 12:30. The homeward trip begins at 11:45 p. m. Satur day, with 5:30 a. m. Sunday as the hour of arrival in Lincoln. Before the war, this migration trip was an annual occurence, and if this year's trip is successful (and you can make it that) an other will be made next fall. So keep in mind that future migra tions will be determined by the success of this migration to KU. Plenty of food and drink (soft. that is) in the form of box lunches and orangeade will be available, thanks to WAA, to all "Jay Hawk Special" passengers. However, one point to be emphasized Is that there will be absolutely no drink- See MIGRATION, Page 4 I U.S.A.
