When a modern army goes into action on the battlefield, officers enter the conflict sans bars, stripes or Sam Browne belts. To the enemy this development of military strategy is baffling. For the sniping of military leaders becomes a more difficult task than shooting at the colorful flash of gold braid and brass buttons.
Tonight, however, when the University R.O.T.C. holds its annual ball, officers will be attired in full regalia with all the indicators of army rank blazing forth. The Memorial Union ballroom will be a kaliiedescopic combination of blue uniforms, winter formals, and the uniforms of Dale Brodie's orchestra.
Preceded by the pledging of new men to Scabbard and Blade,
the ball will begin at 8:45 and last until 12 o'clock when a large
portion of University Cinderellas and campus Prince Charmings
will head for home.
