In gathering material to fill this space on the SCHOLAS­ TIC'S second page, we thumb through the publications of approximately 60 colleges and universities, reading stories of campus queen selections, band concerts, Junior Proms, visiting lecturers, and sorority and fraternity pledging. These stories all seem to fall into one set pattern—the pat- tei'n that is college life in the United States, in which thou­ sands of young men and women have prepared and are pre­ paring themselves to be better citizens. There is another story which is appearing with increasing frequency on the pages of the college newspapers. It an­ nounces the death of a graduate, or former student "over Germany," or "in the South Pacific."

The week-end began on Friday eve­ ning, Jan. 26, at 2100 with the presenta­ tion of the formal ball, featuring Vaughn Monroe and his nationally famous band. Vaughn divided his arrangements equal­ ly between sweet and swing, alternating the tempo so as to please jivers and sentimentalists alike. High points of the evening were the Monroe ballads with Vaughn's own distinctive baritone on such favorites as "My Devotion," "Shrine of St. Cecilia" and the sensational theme song "Racing With the Moon." The music was broadcast over radio station WSBT from 2300 to 2330.
