IF MAY,, MARCH 26, 1954 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE -V! FliIPAY, MARCh 28, 1954 THE 1~HCIHGAN DAILY PAGE IWI Mill 11 111 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.

Michigras Campus Pre-sale Tick- et Committee and Ticket Commit- tee need workers to sign up to sell f Union Offers 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. -Daily-Don Campbell UP IN THE AIR-Balanced in a precarious position, decorations co-chairman Allan Pratt works to finish the model rocket which will highlight decorations at the annual Military Ball, to be held from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. tonight in the Union Ballroom.

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.

This first conference is centered around job opportunities in the humanities and future conferences will deal with careers in other fields. /95 04 L I r .Dyed Any Color at seen in Vogue / (9 Y With Magic-Soft AIRFOAM Cusionin-\ and ventilated leather insole.
