Student Union Opens
AtAg Campus Monday
By Fhil Raynard.
The Ag Union will open its doors to students Monday,
December 2, at 2 p. m., according to Mrs. Richard E. Hiatt,
manager. The fountain will be ready for service at that
time.
As yet many things are incomplete. No lounge furniture
has been received, the mam refngration unit has not ar
rived, and ventilating fans had not been installed. Rather
than delay the opening later than Monday, folding chairs
will be usecHn the recreation room, music room and main
lounge, and a large refrigrator will be used to supply refri
gration for the fountain, said Mrs. Hiatt.
"We know we are handicapped in opening now because
of the lack of equipment, but at a recent meeting of the
Union Board of Managers, it was decided to open at least
one part of the Ag Union as soon as possible. We ask, there
fore, the patience of the students until all the deliveries are
made on our new equipment", Mrs. Hiatt explained.
"A grand opening will be postponed until all of the
furniture is here, at which time there will be a free dance
and general open house to celebrate the formal presentation
of the Ag Union."
No Fizz Water
The unit for dispensing carbonated water has not yet
arrived so the fountain will necessarily have a short menu
with the conspicuous absence of cokes, phosphates, and
ades. There will be, however, a full menu for shakes, malts,
sundaes, coffee, pie, cake, brownies, complete sandwich bar,
and soup.
The fountain will operate from 7:15 a. m. to 10:30 p. m.
Monday through Thursday: 7:15 a. m. to 12:30 p. m. Fri
day; 10 a. m. to 12:30 p. m. Saturday, and 4 p. m. to 10:30
p. m. on Sunday. The check stand will.be open from 9 a. m.
to 10:30 p. m. Monday through Thursday; 9 a. m. to 12:30
p. m. Friday; 10 a. m. to 12:30 p. m. Saturday, and 4 p. m.
to 10:30 p. m. on Sunday. The music and recreation room
will be ooen the same hours as the city campus Union, from

Military Ball Revives
Colorful Pageantry
Presented for the first time
since 1942, the 35th annual Mili
tary Ball will open the winter
formal season on December 6
with a return of the traditional
color and pageantry that has be
come associated with the affair.
Chuck Foster and his orchestra
will play for an expected 2,000
couples at this years ball, spon
sored by the university's ROTC
unit. A review of the ball's his
tory reveals that the military
social event had modest begin
nings. Early Balls
Early Military Balls, from the
first in 1908, were strictly mili
tary department affairs with few
outsiders attending and little
campus interest. These first balls
and the 1946 version were iden
tical in one respect the grand
march. In .those days the colonel
of the regiment marched with his
best girl. Tnis years honorary
colonel is a coed who was elected
by the student body last month.
Until about 1925, the Cadet Of
ficers' association sponsored the
affair. When the university ac
cepted the ball as an all-school
dance however, the military de
partment stepped in to help the
student officers and have done so
ever since.

In 1922, the first honorary coed
colonel, Pearl Lucille Swanson,
was selected. The students, to
quote an earlier edition of the
Daily Nebraskan, had tired of
watching the colonel's lady mo
nopolize the march.
Secret Identity
From 1925-28, the name of the
honorary colonel was revealed
immediately after the election.
Today her identity is kep secret
until the ball. This year, the
honorary colonel will be pre
sented before dancing begins and
her entrance wil be preceded by
a precision manual of arms
routine by members of Pershing
Rifles, honorary ROTC organiza
tion. The Coliseum, scene of this
year's ball, was first used in 1926
when 300 couples attended the
dance. In 1930, attendance had
swelled to 1,500 and a big-name
band played. This inaugurated a
custom that continued along with
the acceptance of the ball as the
beginning of the formal season.
After an interruption due to the
w,r, the 1946 Military Ball will
carry on this tradtion under the
direction of Major Brust. Formal
dress or service uniforms have
been requested of the men in
keeping with the first formal
event of the year.
