Council Requests
Delay Ball Ticket

of Military Ball tickets be with
held until tha subject of price
has been discussed.
Representatives of the Cadet
Corps and council members will
convene at 11:30 a. m. today to
discuss this adjustment of ticket
prices.
Cadets Promised Reduction
Council action was prompted
by an oral agreement made after
the '47 Military Ball with the
Cadet Corps. At this time the
corps promised a reduction in
this year's admission charge. Al
though the price was lowered by
40 cents, the council does not feci
that this reduction is substantial
enough to constitute a fulfillment
of the agreement.
The council pointed out that
the money, $4 for general ad
mission and $.3 for men in uni
form, will not be used to benefit
the student body in proportion
to the price.

Spanish Movie
A Spanish film, "The Wave,"
will be shown at Love Library
auditorium, Nov. 5 and 6 at 8
p. m. This film is sponsored by
the University YMCA.
"The Wave" is a story about a
fishing village and its living con
ditions. The inhabitants of this
village are poor and revolt
against their environment. This
revolt of the fishermen is the
main theme of the film.
Otis Ferguson of the' New Re
public, said that this movie is
hardly a- film at all but a dy
namic boss-meets-worker social
message. It represents an honest
and heartening theme, which is
dramatically presented. Other
critics say it is tops in foreign
film offering for this year.
Paul Stugand produced this
film in Mexico with native ac
tors. English sub-titles" are used
with the movie.
