Proper
Campus
Ushering' in a season of infor
mal parties, keeping step with a
war-minded campus, the 3-4 th Mili
tary Ball became a part of UN
history Friday evennig.
Traditions were both broken
and upheld as the cadet officers
of the ROTC corps were hosts to

who were a bit skeptical of an in
formal ball at the start hut who
became enthusiastic in their ap
