If the third time is the charm,
the thirty-third time must be ter
rific. And when it comea to the
Military Ball, one thing is sure:
Friday night's thirty-third ball will
be a lot different than the third
version of the military depart
ment's traditional affair.
Vital facts concerning the 1941
2 edition include: big-name band,
expected 5,000 attendance, packed
coliseum, honorary colonel, spec
tacular presentation, opening of
the formal season.
And vital facts of 1911: local
band, 140 present, empty hotel
ballroom, no surprises, no pres
entation, little significance.
Few Outsiders.
Unlike today, the pilitary balls
of 1908 when the first one was
held, 1909 and up until the
19-teens, were strictly military de
partment affairs. There were few
outsiders and less campus inter
est.
In one respect, the ball of old
and the streamlined version are
identical: They both had a grand
march, only the colonel of the reg
iment then marched with his best
girl.
Until about 1925 the Cadet Offi
cers association was sponsor of the
affair, but the university accepted
the military ball as an all-school
party, and the student cadets
found themselves unable to put it
on. That's why the military de
partment stepped in to help the
