Those playing one certain instrument may be called to gether for practices and given special help on that instrument apart from the regular practice hours. Try-outs will begin next Monday night at 7: o'clock in Melton Hall. Miss Smith and Miss Knight are to be the judges. On the first night only ukeleles will be heard.

Maurice Matteson, director of music at Carolina became treasurer. Since it is impossible for a contest to be arranged to decide the Southern champion, the University of North Ca rolina Glee Club seemed best suited to represent the South in the national contest, and was given the official right to do so. A meeting will be held in Atlanta sometime in April to perfect plans for a southern contest to be held in At lanta next year. The officers of the club constitute the board of directors, and these with one other representa tive from each college form the gov erning body.
