Ticket Sales
HaveBegun
Ticket sales are now open for
the 1950 presentation of Military
Ball to be held from 9 p.m. to 1
a.m. on Friday, March 10, in the
Union Ballroom.
Dance tickets may be purchased
in North Hall or at the main desk
of the Union.
The decoration theme will be
based on various phases of mili-
tary, life which will be depicted
in different scenes around the
ballroom.
Presented by a "unified com-
mand" under the direction of Paul
Anderson, the dance will be open
to all members of the Army, Navy
and ROTC units, active and re-
serve officers in the area.
Advisors for the affair are Capt.
D. H. Merten of the Air Corps,
ROTC, Maj. W. F. Johnston of
the Army ROTC and Lt. Comm.
L. D. Patton of the Navy ROTC.
Dr. G. Cameron
To GiveSpeech
Women of the University Facul-
ty will meet at 6:15 p.m. tomorrow
for dinner in the Hussey Room of
the League.
Following dinner, Dr. George G.
Cameron, professor of Near East-
ern Cultures, will speak on his 19-
48 expedition to Iran and will des-
cribe the work involved in copy-
ing 2,000 year-old cuniform in-
scriptions from a mountain side.
Dr. Cameron's work has aided
greatly in understanding much of
the history of the Old Testament.
Earrings
Milliners have recently become
crazed with the urge of baring
only one feminine ear, or so their
latest creations seem to state.
With this semi covering, women
will be able to get along with
the wearing of only one earring.
The result will probably be a use
of the remaining members of many
a pair ruined by loss.
