Corsages have been banned from the prom because of the price. The Student Council passed the motion Wednesday. Reason for the anticipated record crowd stems from the fact that for the first time in the his- Tory of the university a big name band will furnish entertainment. Tony Pastor and his Columbia recording orchestra will be on the bandstand for the final big social engagement of the year. Termed America's greatest vocal stylist, Pastor began his musical career 18 years ago, when at the age of 17, he became a member of the Commanders under Irving Aaronson. Shortly afterwards he joined Artie Shaw's band and through two records, "Indian Love Call" and "Begin the Beguine",, Pastor gained national prominence.The luccen of these vocal recordings gave Pastor the Incentive to organize his own orchestra and after the usual trials and tribulations he was a top name maestro with a tremendous world-wide following. Perhaps a trait of individuality was the main reason for the success of the vocal-instrumentalist. "Style," says Tony Pastor, "is the basis of musical success. The bands that gain a definite mark of recognition are in the best position to attain lasting popularity." The famous bandleader is a firm believer in some sort of signature through music. Pastor's services were obtained through the efforts of Bill Scarlato, chairman of the Student Council dance committee, and other members of the Student Council. Tickets are set for $5.00. TONY PASTOR OLA MORGAN, CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT of the college of pharmacy, campaigns to JERRY PATTON for a vote in the Student Council election this week. At right, voters await their turn in line to cast votes for their candidates. BETSIE PRADOS keeps a record of voters ADELE SMITH, RONALD LEVY, LARRY HOUSEY, and DUKE GOODWIN.

J., the "Glacier Priest," a world-famous authority on Alaska and the North Pole will address the Loyola forum, Monday at 8:30 p.m. in the Civic theatre.A noted scientist, geologist and explorer, Father Hubbard's lecture entitled "Alaska and the North Pole" will be accompanied by Anscolor moving pictures taken by him in the Polar regions. The films will show the North Polar Ice Pack, the Soviet Diomede island in the middle of the Bering straits, and the life of the Eskimoes in the American Diomede island, according to the Rev. John Toomey, S. J., forum director.Father Toomey said that the priest will di»cu». all the current "incidents" which the Soriets hare been staging recently, including the flying of Soviet bombers over Alaska and Canada. The North Polar Ice Pack film shows U. S. winter war exercises in Alaska—paratroop attacks and the "Glacier Priest's" flight over the North Pole. It also shows the 10th Rescue Squadron on the Polar Ice Pack, the director said. Chairman of the department of geology in Santa Clara university, Calif., Father Hubbard has lectured in all 48 states and has been invited annually to lecture on the Polar region in West Point military academy. Considered one of the world's foremost experts on the Arctic, he is firmly convinced that the Russians will not venture an attack on the U. S. by way of Alaska. On this controversial issue Father Hubbard wrote in an issue of Collier's magazine that "armchair strategists see the mighty Yukon especially and wail that a mechanized enemy could land at the river mouth on the Bering Sea and roll directly up the flatlands to Fairbanks." The Jesuit-geologist disproved the validity of this theory by telling of his own experiences in the Alakan area. He explained his "nightmare" trip across the Tundra which covers one fourth of Alaska.

Frank Lovejoy stars in the story, of Matt Cvetic's dramatic episode.
