Beginning yesterday morning's session was an address on "The Agricultural Outlook" by Francis C. Jones of a Minnesota food- packing firm. Jones said "the great bulk of farm production costs are fixed, while cyclical fluctuations in our economy are generated in the non-agricultural sector." ' AGRICULTURE suffers more froms the down-swing than does the industrial sector, he said. Speaking on the short-term outlook for farmers, Jones said "there is considerable sentiment in some quarters for a return. to the original concept that direct programs should be used only to prevent disasters from striking the farm community." Jones noted that recently there has been an 18 per cent decline in farm prices and a sharp decline in exportation of agricultural pro- ducts. Also on the morning's agenda was Prof. Lawrence R. Klein of the economics department. Prof. Klein spoke on "Statistical Models of General Economic Activity, as Ap- plied to 1954." "With a population growing in sizeand productivity, we need a growing national product to maintain full employmeflt," he said. Prof. Klein forecasted an increase in unemployment un- less the length of the working week is cut. Conference sessions continued (all day yesterday.

But all this work shows up in flawless performances that have earned the group a reputation as the finest college marching band in the country. * * * * Hutchins Hall. ton University's graduate school Opening the Thomas M.

Under the direction of Prof. William D. Revelli, the band practices from 4:20 to 5:40 p.m. four days a week. Instruction sheets bearing a maze of circles and crosses that wduld astonish the uninitiated are given to each bandsman and out of the seem- ing chaos the perfect show is developed. Prof. Revelli also demands superior musicianship from his band, believing that marching is being over-emphasized when a band march- es better than it plays. THE MARCHING BAND dates back to 1895 when the official band was organized by order of the Regents to play at football games, socials and other events. It has been growing ever since and today 146 take the field at halftime led by drum major Floyd Zarbock, '54 A&D. It is the Band's unusual balance between music quality and marching which gains the attention of boththe layman and the professional. An instrumentation is employed with a balance be- tween w6odwinds and brasses that is generaly absent from col- ege bands. Instruments are spread throughout the band instead of in separate sections so that the quality sounds equally good from all sides. It is really four bands in one, Prof. Revelli ex- plained. All music is tailor-made for the Band. Prof. Revelli and George Cavender, assistant conductor, spend about 35 hours each on a show. A firm believer in fundamentals, Prof. Revelli feels that.if one stress- es the fundamentals instead of the performance itself the show is boundto be good. In addition, Revelli often hears each member of the band individually so that he can be sure the tone is just right. Entering the field at a snappy 210 steps per minute, the band maintains a cadence ranging from a slow 100 steps per minute to 176 during formations, depending on the music. However, Prof. Revelli rhaintains that the cadence which dazzles spectators takes second place to unity, precision and coordination which is what really'makes a band stand out.
