Beaux Arts Ball Slated Saturday
Bright costumes, revelry, and weird and fantastic decorations will highlight the all-school Beaux Arts ball from 9 p.m. to midnight tomorrow in the Union ballroom.
"Phantasmagoria", or dream fancies, is the theme of the ball, sponsored by the School of Fine Arts and the School of Architecture.
The ballroom will be decorated with giant spider webs and other grotesque shapes and scenes. Costumes need not be elaborate, but no one will be admitted without one. Prizes will be given for the best.
This is the first year for the Beaux Arts ball to be held at KU, and the sponsoring schools hope to make it an annual event. The traditional Beaux Arts ball originated in Paris, where the most famous and most fabulous balls still are held. They are becoming common at many large universities in this country, such as the Chicago Art institute, Rice university, and others.
Tickets, on sale in most organized houses, on the third floor of Strong, and at the Information booth, are $1 each or $1.75 per couple. Staff and cast of College Daze may get their tickets at half price if they wish to attend after their show.
Any profits will be set aside for next year's dance.
