"The entire group in f -'Muskets to Missiles' More Dance Space For Military Ball Preparations are well un derway for the 1960 Military Ball, according to Rod Eller busch, publicity chairman, "This year's ball will have several new features," Eller- busch reported, "mainly, more floor space for dancing and more reserved tables." The increase in floor space is possible because the band will be on the stage, rather than on the dance floor as at last year's ball There will be 120 reserved tables available with room for five couples at each table This is an increase of 12 tables or additional seating lor 60 couples over last year Muskets to Missiles The decorations committee is following the general theme: "From Muskets to Missiles," portraying the ad vance of military technology from the founding of the na tion to the present. Displays in front of Persh ing Auditorium, models of a musket and a missile in the outer lobby, and the decora tions in the auditorium will be used to carry out the theme. . The outside displays Include two carbon-arch searchlights flanking the doors, two 105 mm howitzers, a 3-5 scale model of a Nike missile, a model aircraft carrier, and an early military bi plane. The decorations committee again has plans for lowering the ceiling of the auditorium to enhance the ballroom at mosphere. "Suspending any thing from that high ceiling is a tremendous job," said Art Hughes, decorations com mittee chairman, "but we're working on several ideas." Decorations Bunting, pennants, flowers, and flass will be used to decorate the walls and box seats surrounding the dance floor and the stage, accord ing to Hughes. The nine finalists for the title of Honorary Command ant were chosen Sunday by the elections committee. They will be presented to Margaret Marshall Pruhl, last year's Honorary Commandant and to the student body in half time ceremonies at the Ne braska-Oklahoma State game Saturday.

She will speak on "Plumb ing the Creative Imagination of Man," at the tenth annual Avery Lecture to be presented here. The speech concerns the overlaying of the creative imagination by the circum stances of today, according to Miss Sandoz. Miss Sandoz, who grew up in the Nebraska Sandhills, adds local color to many of her books, which concern this part of the United States. Although she confesses to having had only eight years of schooling, including four years at a country school and four years at the University, Miss San doz has more books than any other author listed among the 100 Best Books of the West. Her most recent book is "Son of the Gamblin' Man," which concerns the late Rob ert Henri of Cozad. Miss San doz is perhaps best known for "Old Jules," a biography of her father. cludes what would normal ly be the trombone section of a dance band.

Included with "poll goers" were many University students engaged in various election activities. Many of the students, having just reached the voting age of 21, cast their first ballots in this year's election. The Interfraternity Council offered cars and men to serve the Junior Chamber of Commerce. The fraterninty men picked up people who needed rides to get to the polls and distributed literature supporting the Industrial Develop ment amendment. Jerald Hallock, Executive Secretary of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, reported that about 30 IFC workers had reported by 2 p.m. and more were expected later. Phil Bauer, who originally proposed the transportation idea to the IFC, said about 100 men had signed up to help. Political Science Students Seen at the polls in the State House were Judy Kovar and Alice Ahlschwede, representing a Political Science 105 class. The girls, both seniors, said they were watching for t errors in procedures at the polls. They bad a choice of "either going to the polls or vol unteering for service at the party headquarters of their choice." Professor Jasper B. Shannon, chairman of the politi , cal science department and instructor of the class, said the students were sent "to watch the polls and see what went on." Lab Experiment He called the afternoon's project "a lab experiment of politics in action." Professor Shannon, who has been giving this assign ment to his classes for 25 years, said the irregularities that the students were to watch for were counting votes too soon (which is a violation of the secrecy of the ballot) and situations such as the re-count of two years ago. About 65 students participated in the project. Sunday style, will be featured in Judy Howard's "Hollywood Square Dance."

School will begin next year on Sept. 18 and second se mester examinations will end June 7, 1962, according to the report of the Calendar com mittee which was passed by the Faculty Senate. There was previous feeling by the Student Council that this would inconvenience Uni versity students, as many students hold summer jobs which run from June 1 D Sept. 1. Tempero stated that the Council asked for opin ions but that there was no response. "If people do not care enough to let us know if the Expelled Student Speaks Sunday An American student who was expelled from Russia this summer will speak to Univer sity students at 4:30 p.m. Sunday in the Student Union. Jim Schultz, national stu dent chairman of the YMCA, was one of 24 from the United States on a student exchange tour of Russia.

Recommendations The Faculty Senate refused the Council's recommenda tions for five reasons, includ ing that the lapse between the end of the regular school year and the beginning of summer school would cause many inconveniences. One consideration was that some students, particularly teachers in Lincoln and Oma ha, would miss nearly one fourth of the summer school session because of the late closing dates of the schools in those cities. The calendar committee suggested that the Council form a committee to recom mend that these cities change their closing dates. This would require a six-month study by the Council. Tempero stated that he recognized the calendar com mittee's position but that it was "something the Univer- S i t y administration would have to take in hand." Accept One The calendar committee did accept one Council recom mendation, that classes should continue through Good Friday preceding Easter and Student Loan Blanks A vailable Nov. 30 is deadline for ap plications to be submitted for second semester National De fense Program student loans. Information and application forms may be obtained from the Student Loan Office, 204 Administration Building, where completed applications are being accepted.

An additional $375 gift was presented to the University by D. R. Remigio, plant manager of the Lincoln Goodyear Tire and Rubber plant.
