No Queen, No Politics, Fun
Grabs Spotlite At Navy Ball
BY FIIEE MORTLOCK,
Introducing the NROTC Spring
Ball! The Navy Ball presents no
candidates, dabbles in no politics
and has no queen!
The NRO's dance anchors In
the Uri n ballroom, Friday eve
ning. Jean Moyer's orchestra pipes
aboard the dancers from 9 to 12.
The semi-formal dance is a closed
affair, as bids were issued to

to open the Ball to all university
students, as the Military Ball has
been in previous years, but felt
that such an undertaking was too
large for their group.
No Squealing.
Nothing short of hijacking
would induce the committee in
charge to squeal on decoration
secrets! They are: Meno Wil
helms, Will Henderson, Charles
Peake, Jack Hill, and Roger John
son. All pummeling reporters
could get from the committee was
"Nautical, natch!"
Chaperoning the Spring Ball
will be Commander W. W. Fitts,
acting NROTC director, Dean and
Mrs. G. E. Rosenlof, Chancellor
and Mrs. Chauncey Boucher,

Redecoration
Adds Space
To Law Library
Undergoing redecoration and
renovation, the law college library
has been designed to accommo
date an accelerated expansion of
its facilities, Miss Breta Peterson,
law librarian said yesterday.
New steel stocks have been in
stalled providing a 25 percent in
crease in book space. The new
stacks also provide more space for
the reading and study area.
Two more faculty offices have
been added to the five previously
installed.
Fluorescent Lights.
The library has been redeco
rated, and the ceiling insulated to
provide greater comfort both in
summer and winter. Fluorescent
lighting is now being installed in
the reading area and a special
lighting system has been installed
in the stacks.
Miss Peterson announced that
the library now contains about
28,000 volumes, 80 percent of
them on open shelves. To offer
greater service to law students,
the volumes have been divided
into three large groups, judicial
opinions and reports in the south
stacks, statute and legislative ma
terials in the north stacks, and
encyclopedias and research books
in the nermanent stacks on the
west side of the library.
The library which has been
closed the last two years with the
suspension of the college due to
the war, was officially opened
at an open house for students and
faculty sponsored by the univer
sity law alumni association last
week.
