pans Formal Year
BY FIIEE MORTLOCK.
The Military Ball, scheduled for
December 6, first EOTC festivity
since 1942, heralds the official
opening of the formal season.
Vital statistics concerning the
Ball, from reports of publicity
chairman Cadet Captain W. M.
Hammond, include a big name
band, packed coliseum, 5,000 at

tacular presentation of same in
short, the return of the Military
Ball in all its former glory.
' Comparison Proves
Vital facts of 1911: Local band,
140 attendance, no surprises, and
a vacant hotel ballroom. In Grand
maw's time, the Military Ball's
were strictly private affairs no
outsiders, and thus, no campus in
terest. The 1908 Military Ball, the
first one, can be likened to the
streamlined 1946 version only in
one respect, they both featured a
grand march.
The Cadet Officers association
sponsored the affair until 1925,
when it was decided to turn the
Ball into a campus wide fling,
which then became too much for
the Cadets to handle. That's when
the military stepped in.
Precedents Set.
In 1926, the coliseum held 300
couples. In 1930, 1,500 danced to

Art Major Hansen Draws
Cover for OcL Motive Issue
A pen and ink drawing of a
young veteran facing the world,
featured as the cover picture of
October Motive, national Method
ist student publication, is the work
of Bob Hansen, junior art major.
Enrolled in the university in
1941, he has now returned after
war leave.
Pierre Van Paassen, noted
philosopher and art critic, has
written the leading editorial for
the magazine, which treats mod
ern problems from a non-sectarian
viewpoint. Van Paassen
notes the formation of a "Militia
Christi" in today's world, and
views its effective work as the
only hope of saving the Christian
faith. He views the general ap
probation given churches as harm
ful to faith, in that true religious
belief is fostered only thru per
secution and danger.
Dr. Harris Franklin Rail, pro
fessor emeritus of systematic theo
logy at Garrett Biblical institute,
discusses "One Man, Three Di
mensions," in another of the
articles. Rail uses as his thesis the
belief that there never was such
a chance for men of good will to
serve the present age. He argues
that each. man has three dimen
sions, and must be individualized,
socialized and conscious of re
ligion. Leaders to work with peo
ple are needed for democracy, and
for Christianity, to survive, he ex

Filings Close
Filings will close tonight for
a vacancy in the student coun
cil as senior man representa
tive at large. Candidates should
be fully accredited seniors in
any college and should submit
their names to the Student Ac
tivity office in the coliseum
before 4 p. m. today, according
to Sob Coonley Council pre
sident. plains. As for socialized men, Rail
says, "We cannot save the world
by living apart in our ivory tower,
or by handing it an occasional
word or visiting upon it our scorn
and denunciation. We can help
save the world only by giving to
our fellow men understanding and
love and devotion, only by learn
ing in patience and self-subordination
to work with others, only
by feeling deeply our kinship with
all humanity and by sharing in
its life."
Most telling criticism of Ameri
can life today is included in "The
Patient Is Mortally Sick", an ar
ticle by John Haynes Holmes in
Motive. The pastor of New York's
Community church lists three con
demnations of contemporary life,
economic deterioration, social dis
integration and political paralysis.
Drawing the comparison between
events which led to the fall of
Rome and the same conditions he
finds today, Holmes concluded
that our society is no longer de
veloping as a growing organism.
Other pieces on veterans' ad
justment and contributions to
school society, together with dis
cussions on modern problems
greeted the more than 300 sub
scribers on the Lincoln campuses
when the October issue arrived.
Persons interested in obtaining
subscriptions should contact Rev.
Robert Drey at the Methodist Stu
dent House, or tell their student
pastor.
