States Navy Band, consists of
not less than fifty, carefully sel ;
ected artists. Each man must bo a
musician of solo ability on one or
more instruments. Since the toujf
of the band are exacting in every
detail, a member, when on tour,
must be both physically arid men-
tally alert at all times, and ready
to fit into a concert presentation
within a matter of seconds. On its
tours, the United States Navy
Band is composed of many famous
soloists, most of whom are na- .
tionally known from first band
tour contact. The Band features
several soloists at each of its per-
formances, matinee and evening.
' Such outstanding soloists' as .
Ben Mitchel Morris, Tenor Voca-
list; Lawrence Wiehe, Trombone;
William Arsers, French Horn;
Frank Scimonelli, Post Horn; Arl-
ington Zetty, Piccolo; William
Cameron, Harp; and Richard Bain,
Harmonica, usually tour with the
band.
The program will probably ba
opened with a fanfare by the
band's famous Herald Trumpets.
The men who play the trum-
pets, a long reedlike instrument
of ancient lineage, are all solo ar-
tists. Their performance is bril-
liant and scintillating, setting tho
mood for the rest of the concert
program.
The Herald Trumpets, one of
the oldest musical instruments,
give a splendor to the musical pre-
sentation through the trenchant
quality which they .lend the bras-
ses.
Lieutenant Anthony Mitchell,
seventeen year veteran of the
Navy Band and one of the oi'iginal
pioneers in television broadcast-
ing, is conductor.

Thursday that the J-Tac of Tar-
leton State College had won a
first placo rating in the printed

and universities. The annual rat-
ing is made for members of the

school's enrollment,, number of
journalism courses taught, and the
newspaper's compliance with good
journalistic practices.
Judges for the contest score a
publication on content, writing
and editing, make-up, and general
considerations. Under content, the
judges rate .the paper on how well
the news potentialities of the
school are developed; the appi-op
riate -treatment of sports news;

stories, columns, and creative
writing;'and the publication's edi-
torial policy. -

category, the judges evaluate the
newspaper's service to the institu-
tion it represents. They ask:
"Does the paper have general ap-
peal? Does it create a favorable
opinion of the school ? Does it
serve as an organ of. student opin-
ion? Does it encourage high j
standards in scholarship, athletics,
service and behavior?"
