musical clubs which in normal times included the university band the glee club and the symphony orchestra today most of these individual groups are much smaller in size than before the war be cause of the proportionately smaller college enrollment the colle gians however are not necessarily affected by this condition because they are essentially a much smaller group in former days lehigh's dance mr-i octree u a roo q i «^+ i „+ school dances and functions but also at many various outside occa sions trips were made to many colleges in pennsylvania and jftew jersey clubs high schools and formal dinners were among the engagements when the glee club sang at various women's colleges the collegians traveled with them to play for a dance after the vo cal part of the program 1942 marked end under the leadership of james mulhearn in 1942 the band saw its big year in the spring of 43 the collegians were discontinued when the majority of its members entered the service in the sum mer of that year under the lead ership of bob jones the orches tra was once more revived and played many local engagements during the fall and winter semes ters once again during the spring and summer semesters enrollment fell off and they were forced to disband with the proportionately greater enrollment this semester the pos sibility of bringing this part of the musical clubs back to its for mer standing seems fairly reas onable rehearsals held two rehearsals have been held thus far and almost complete in strumentation lias been realized a drummer and tenor sax are the parts sorely needed at this time

student council bill day bill boothby and bob mayer represented lehigh and ed podgorski barclay l hand and george c hull signed for the ma roon the text of the agreement follows the longest unbroken football rivalry in the united states is that between lehigh and lafayette we the arcadia of lehigh and the student council of lafayette agree to do all in our power to continue this tradition on a friendly basis we agree to establish a joint com mittee of three representatives from each institution which will be responsible for the administra tion of this agreement the last spectacular

issued by andrew a litzenberger su perintendent of grounds at le high the situation pertaining to the closing of buildings on campus will either remain static or pos sibly show a turn for the better the buildings now closed the chapel and the ground floor of grace hall were closed by order of the administrative committee grace hall was taken over by the army as a storage place for all the equipment it had bought for the astp unit here because it was the only place large enough to accommodate everything the chapel was closed because there was not sufficient call for it it will however be opened for any special function to be held there but no janitor service will be maintained as previously there is a possibility that the ground floor of grace hall might be opened in time for use as a basketball floor and also as a meeting place for wrestling meets brown and white lehigh university vol lii — no 18 attend the rally this friday evening at 7:30 in the lower gym cyanide is spon
