Yet little more than a hoarse shout away from the Home of Secret Weapons is an underground room where precautions are just as stringent. In a small, feverish nook in the cellar of the Music Building, the University Band holds its council of war, and there, amidst sousaphones and bandstands, it plots the marching formations and intricate parade tactics that are forever eluding every other band-conscious college.

The summer is so short that there is a local joke about the miner who missed the entire summer by working "both days...
