Here on the Hill - - and fancy medals, the members of R.O.T.C. will defend the beauty of their ladies against all comers.
Strictly Formal Ball For Army Men and Guests
Tomorrow night, as in olden days, the University's private unit of aspiring officers will forget all worries and give way to their simple emotions by the swaying of bodies and the beating of feet at the annual R.O.T.C. ball in the Memorial Union ballroom.
Many official balls took place during the Consulate of Bona parte and the reign of Napoleon when soldiers danced on the eve of battle, eager to forget the dangers of the morrow. Like Knights of the Burning Mountain with polished brass buttons
"This is one of the most formal occasions on the Hill," Sgt. William Kolltender, assistant instructor of military science, said today. "There will be no jitterbugging, the ball being a 'smooth' affair with officers, faculty members, and cadets being represented in the receiving line."
Guests from other R.O.T.C. units and military schools in Kansas and surrounding states have been invited to attend the Hill function. Dancing will begin at 8:45 p.m.
Adding to the color of the occasion will be the formal Scabbard and Blade initiation. Fourteen new initiates and their dates will walk under the traditional saber arch as the highlight of the ceremony. For the last few days the pledges have been acting as sentries on the campus doing guard duty.
Before the ball, the members of the society will be hosts at a banquet for the new initiates, alumni and associate members of the organization. Benjamin Mastassarin, president of the local chapter of Scabbard and Blade, will act as toastmaster. An address will be given by Dr. R. Q Brewster, professor of chemistry.
The 14 new initiates are Ross Ley, Jim Kelly, John Weatherwax, Ralph Herman, Grosvenor Roberts, Vernon McKale, Robert Royer, Robert White, Frank Lichty, Bernard Dean, Jim Cillie, Frank Arnold, Don Johnson, and Bill Kelly.
