Privates to Generals Coeds Beware
BY MARJORIE KEEBLE
Therefore, following the custom of the Kansan and Emily Post, and with the aid of Sergeant William Kollender, we present the do's and don'ts of military balls.
NEVER CALL A SOLDIER BY THE WRONG RANK! That is the ultimate in faux pas.
As the next in the scale of evolution from bottom to top, we present the sergeants, usually shown in movies as men with shoe leather for hearts. Their species is characterized by three stripes. There are several families of sergeants, but it pays to be nice to them all. Both regulars and cadet officers may be classified by these marks.
A buck private is the lowest of soldiering ranks. His elder brother, the first class private, may be known by one lone stripe worn on his sleeve. Their next relative, a very distant one on the parade ground, is the corporal. He gets to talk back to the privates, and as a reward carries two stripes on his sleeve.
We now come to the aristocrats of the R. O. T. C., the commissioned officers. Commissions are obtained by sweat, polish, and months of having sore feet. They, too, come in grades.
Be Nice to Sergeants
If this seems implicated, just remember the cadets have to learn it too, much to their regret.
For example, if you should be dancing with a cadet in uniform with a Sam Browne belt and one small

with three discs should cut in, glitter,
he is a captain.
Remember the Regulars
Between these two ranks stands the first lieutenant who is neither fish nor fowl. He is usually quite gentle and easily influenced by a little kindness. By two discs you will know him.
Standing out from the crowd, two stern, worried-looking individuals may take your eye. They are the highest cadet officers around, the major and lieutenant colonel. The major is known by one diamond on his shoulder. The girls may call him a diamond in the rough, but that may not be what your escort
