Anti-War Ball
Display Of Arts Of Peace
Dominates Decorations;
Plan Program Dances
Peace sympathizers, anti-militarists
rnd just plain dancers will revel in an
unusual program of pageantry from
9 p.m. to l a.m. at the League, as the
.irst annual Peace Ball, sponsored by
30 campus organizations, gets under
way to the beat of Charlie Zwick's
=nsic.
Decorations will center around an
Arts of Peace display, with reproduc-
tions of the world's masterpieces in
sculpture and painting predominat-
ing. Topping the evening's fanfare
and ceremony will be the Grand
March, scheduled to start \just be-
fore midnight. In the vanguard- of
the March will be the "Parade of Na-
tions."
Efforts are being made, according
to Norman Baldwin, Grad., chair-
man, to persuade Governor Mui'phy
to review the march.
Dance programrs, with the dances
numbered, will be provided as favors
for everyone and to facilitate ex-
change of dances among those who
wish to do so, according to William
Scott, Grad., committeeman. The
number of each dance will also be
announced from the floor, he said.
The informality of the dance was
stressed by Baldwin who pointed out
that it is being sponsored by the
United Peace Committee represent-
ing organizations united in their de-
sire to botain peace. The three-fold
purpose of the affair is to publicize
the cause of peace, finance the Peace
Strike held last Wednesday and
establish the committee on a per-"
manent basis.
