Adding another chapter to As-
sembly Ball history will be this I cause of the dwindling male pop-
,year's Assembly Ball, "March ulation and general war time
Moods, to be held from 9 p.m. to economy. Instead of having the
1 a.m. Saturday, March 6 in the dance during the spring semester,
e eague, the date was moved to December
Assembly Association was first so that women could take their fel-
founded in the spring of 1934. As lows before they left for service at
the Association's first big project,
the first Assembly Ball was given
the next spring.
BEGUN as an equivalent of
Panhellenic Ball, the coed-bid
dance was hoped to provide a so-
cial event for independent wom-
en to get together.
Given annually since that
date, Assembly Ball had big
name bands, such as Gene Kru-
pa and Buddy Berigan, until
1946.
During the war years, the dance
was given jointly with Panhel be-

the end of the semester.
WITH A SPIRIT of economy in
mind a war bond was given as a
door prize in 1943.
In 1945 came a new twist on
late permissions, not only was
late permission needed for wom-
en students, but also for their
service men dates. One o'clock
permission for women and 1:30
a.m. for men were the hours dur-
ing the war years.
When the dance was first given,
there was a breakfast following the
evenings dancing. The idea of
breakfast has been substituted by
refreshments served during the
dance.
In recent years women and their
dates danced in a' background of
a Show Boat with musical selec-
tions featuring songs from the mu-
sical show of that name. Taking
advantage of the extra day of leap
year, in 1952 the dance had deco-
rations following the leap year
theme of "Femmes Fatales."
Last year memories of childhood
experiences filled the minds of
those attending as they followed
the yellow brick wall to the land
of "Emerald Enchantment." The
ballroom was decorated with
scenes from Frank Baum's book,
"The Wizard of Oz."
Exchange Dinners
To Be Held Today
Independent and affiliated
women will deviate from their nor-
mal routine of evening meals to-
night, when they will hold the
traditional Assembly - Panhellenic
Exchange Dinners at 6 p.m.
More than 300 coeds are expect-
ed to participate in the event, de-
signed to create better relations
between women on the University
campus.
Affiliated women will have their
evening meal at dormitories,
while the independents will go to
the sorority houses.
The project was extremely suc-
cessful last year, according to
Marlene Jaffa and Elaine Platt,
co-chairman.
