Want to Lead a Band" contest,

Broadcasting Co. network every
Monday from 9:30 to 10 p. m.
Now ,a permanent feature of his
appearances, it was begun years
ago when a man asked Kaye if
he could lead the band for a
while.
The band leader said it would
be all right if he could dance
with the man's girl, so a deal
was made. Noticing the en
thusiasm the entire crowd showed
toward the stunt, Kaye decided
to make it a regular part of his
show.
Four Are Chosen
Four people, two men and two
women, are chosen from the
crowd to lead the band for a
few bars, and they are judged
by applause from the audience.
Kaye's distinctive "Swing and
i Sway" style is noted for trilling
sax tones, virtuoso trombone

work plus a hint of staccato

announcer was signing off and
said: "You have been lisening
LAURA LESLIE, Sammy
Kaye's top female vocalist
to the music of Sammy Kaye
the music that swings..." Here
he broke off, unable to think of
a suitable ending. Kaye finished
up for him without a moment's
hesitation.
" . . and the music that sways."
Kaye is one of America's top
recording maestros. Some of his
top discs include "Always,"
"Apple Blossom Wedding," "The

Council Votes
No Senior Week;
Vet Pay Cause
The Student Council voted
Wednesday to postpone senior
week until next year following a
recommendation by the faculty
senate.
In compliance with the coun
cil's request for a senior week,
the faculty senate had set the
exam schedule ahead thus short
ening the school year. Senior
Class President Glen Blinde ex
plained that this measure re
sulted in an interference with the
Veteran's Administration pay
schedule set up for the entire
school year and would cut pay
nine dollars per veteran.
Following senate action in set
ting exam week ahead to Mon
day, May 24, tfte Council was
granted a request for two free
days to . be set aside for study
immediately preceding exams. In
conjunction with the faculty's
new request, the council proposes
that exam week begin Wednes
day, May 26 as previously sched
uled and that Monday and Tues
day, . May 24-25 be allowed for
study.
The faculty senate advised that
next year's senior week be
planned early so that it may be
included in the year's schedule.
Chancellor Gustavson will ad
dress seniors regarding senior
week arrangements and possible
elimination of baccalaureate ex
ercises at an all senior convoca
tion Monday, April 12, at 7 p. m.
