assembl ed and a harmonious whole made from a number of chaotic units but coming down to brass tacks the band is something that lehigh realizes she needs and she is willing to boost it at the college meeting last wed nesday it was decided to outfit the band laf ayette has a uniformed unit and it is within reason to de sire lehigh s band to make as good an appearance the alumni will provide uniforms but new and ad ditional instruments are also need ed it has been definitely decided to make a drive for 500 for this purpose and the money is to be raised through contributions by the student body the tendency in bands of the present day is to use low-pitched instruments furthermore al though it is possible in a few cases to change high-pitch instruments to low-pitch the converse is not true the majority of instruments used by the lehigh band are of the antirmateri pitch variety •. those playing clarinet and similar reed instruments very important in a well balanced band are shut out by reason of a difference in pitch to make the necessary ad ditions and adjustments consider able money is needed director flory has corresponded with the war department and has high hopes of securing at a considerable reduction instruments of a stand ard make which would be other wise out of reach but even if the instruments are secured from the government at a reduction the sum of 500 is not by any means more than is needed will you do your bit ? it has been figured out that if the mark is to be reached every man is expected to contribute at least a dollar the following men have been ap pointed to take charge of collecting subscriptions among the different living groups and at the various fraternity houses these men w t ill turn in the contributions to w n lawrie the treasurer of the
