Experts to Judge Tonight's Contest; Students to Vote

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Most of the University's leading swing soloists will complete this evening at 9 o'clock in the Winthrop House Junior Common Room for the title of Harvard Jazz Champ and for the chance to play an entire set with Andy Kirk's band at Dunster House on Friday.

The contest, which will be broadcast by the Crimson Network, will be judged by George Frazier, widely-read swing columnist, and by Harry Munroe, the CRIMSON's swing expert. Student telephone votes, however, will have much to do with determining the winner.

A large number of the University's swingsters have already indicated their intention to show up. Among the leading contenders are guitarist Edward E. Hunt Jr. '43, and tenor-sax men Eugene F. Burgstaller '43 and Joseph A. Dunn '44.
