Band Seeks Men for Baton, Bagpipe Slots

Nimble fingered, high-stepping men who "got rhythm" are in demand by the expanding University Band, which opens its competition for drum major and baton-twirler today. Qualified candidates should report to the Band office in the Music Building today or tomorrow for a screening by a board of baton experts, manager Walter J. Skinner '48 announced yesterday.

The many-sided musical organization is also seeking men and material to make up a row of bagpipers. Rumors of an impending shipment of crimson kills were spiked when Skinner declared the matter will not be discussed until a sufficient number of qualified pipers is obtained. When this would be he did not say.
