Military Atmosphere To Prevail
At Annual ROTC Dance Tonight
Blue and white decorations, in-
cluding a 15-foot model rocket,
will set the mood for Military
Ball, scheduled from 9 p.m. to 1
a.m. tonight in the Union Ball-
room.
As they mount the steps, the
cadets and their dates will be
greeted by several fellow ROTC
unit members in full dress uni-
form. These men will be on hand
to collect tickets and to salute
cadet officers, unit commanders
and visiting officers as they ar-
rive.
Once up the stairs, the cou-
ples will notice that the corridor
has been lined on both sides with
tall white columns. Decorating
these posts will be the emblens
of the three military honorary
societies, the Arnold Air Society,
Scabbard and Blade and Persh-
ing Rifles.
Carrying out the theme begun
in the corridor decorations, the
ballroom itself will feature a false
ceiling of navy blue crepe paper
streamers.
Highlighting the south end of
the room, the 15 foot model jet
rocket will be poised ready for the
take-off. Made in the shape of a
cylinder, the white cardboard
model has been built complete with
fins, nose and tail, and imitation
smoke.
Lettersstrung above the band-
stand will announce to couples
that they are attending "Mili-
tary Ball, 1954." Included with
the lettering will be the cap de-
vices of the three services. Rep-
resenting the navy will be the
fouled anchor, while the army
features an eagle with arrows
and palm frond and the air
force, an eagle clasping thun-
derbolts.
From each side of the band-
stand a red column will rise with
oversize model shoulder boards
representing the various ranks in
the three services forming the
focus ofattention here.
The army and air force will take
over one pole, with insignia start-
ing at the bottom with second
lieutenant and moving up through
the ranks to the five-star general
or General of the Armies. On .the
column featuring navy insignia,
the decorations will begin with
ensign and move up to Admiral of
the Fleet.
During the evening, a receiv-
ing line will be formed in the
ballroom, so that couples may
meet official guests who will
attend the dance.
Included in the line will be the
three cadet commanders of the
ROTC units and the three unit
commanders. Colonel William L.
Todd, professor of air science and
tactics, is commander of the air
force unit, while Captain Charles
A. Bond, professor of naval science,
fills that capacity for the navy
ROTC. Commander of the army
cadets is Colonel Virgil R. Miller,
professor of military science and
tactics.
Providing music for dancing
during the evening will be Fred
Netting and his orchestra. Hailing
from the Detroit area, the Net-
ting outfit features arrangements
in the Glenn Miller style.
Programs, favors and photo-
graphs will help provide coeds with
momentos of the annual formal
dance. Adding to the festive at-
mosphere, all cadets will appear in'
full dress uniform.
Tickets are available today, pric-
ed at $3 per couple, in the ROTC
offices in North Hall and the Tem-
porary Class Building. They will
also be sold at the door.

Free Service
To Travelers
Travel Bureau To Aid
Vacationing Students
With Transportation
to help solve the transportation
problems of both vacationing and
homeward-bound students, the
Union has set up its Travel Ser-
vice.
Run free of charge, the service
has been planned as a meeting
ground where riders seeking rides
can obtain them and where driv-
ers can find passengers.
Committee members hope this
will be mutually beneficial to
both parties, for the riders can
save on transportation costs,
while the drivers profit by get-
ting passengers who will share
expenses.
In taking advantage of the ser-
vice, drivers fill out blue cards and
riders fill out red cards. These slips
are available at the service head-
quarters in the Union main lobby
near the front entrance.
The boxes containing the cards
are cleaned out each day and all
cards are filed alphabetically ac-
cording to state. As each new
batch of cards comes in, they are
dated and subsequently filed in
that order. The service is thus put
on a first come, first served basis.
Matching the red and blue
cards, as soon as there are the
desired number of riders for a
driver, the Travel Service will
call the driver and report the
names and phone numbers of the
prospective riders.
After contacting the riders, the
driver is asked to inform the Tra-
vel Service whether he has too
few, enough or too many pas-
sengers. This information is re-
quested in order to insure against
one rider being matched up with
more than one driver.
So that riders and drivers may
see what cards are already in and
thus see what their relative
chances are, the committee has set
up a map in the Union lobby di-
rectly above the Travel Service
counter.
The service is available to any-
one living in or near Ann Arbor
and not only to students of the
University.

Miss Mildred Webber of the Bur-
eau of Appointments.
After the foursprofessors tell
what types of jobs are available
in the various fields of the hu-
manities, Miss Webber will out-
line specific job opportunities
available to graduates.
After the panel discussion the
group will split up into four sec-
tions dealing with speech, Eng-
lish, history and languages. Each
of the groups will be headed by
one of the professors taking part
in the panel.
* , *
IN EACH group, there will alsoI
be 'graduates working in the field$
who will give an account of their
personal experiences in their jobs
and offer advice and suggestions
to the students.
The graduates and professors'
will also answer any specific
questions the women may have
about the various fields.
The idea for this and future
conferences grow out of sugges-
tions made at the League Work-
shop this fall. Recognizing the fact
that many women come to the
University without knowing exact-
ly what type of work they will be
doing, the group set out to pro-
vide students with an opportunity
to learn more about opportunities
in specific fields.
This first conference is centered
around job opportunities in the
humanities and future conferences
will deal with careers in other
fields.
