Council Asks Ball Ticket
Prices Changed to $3.50
Artion was taken by the Stu
dent Council Thursday recom
mending that the price of all
tickets to the Military Ball be set
at $3.50. Tickets were originally
priced at $4.00 for general admis
sion and $3.00 for men in uni
form. Discussion of the ticket situa
tion at regular meeting Wednes
day was referred to a special
meeting at 11:30 Thursday morn
ing to allow the Cadet Associa
tion to present their views.
The Council felt that a change
in prices was needed for three
reasons, First, tickets were ex
cessively high; second, distinction
was made among students who
might wear uniforms to the Ball
and those who would not. The
third reason was that profits from
the Military Ball were not used
for the benefit of students as a
whole but went mainly for the
Military department.
It was also pointed out that
there was an oral agreement be
tween last year's Council and the
Cadets that a reduction would be
made in 1948 tickets. Questions
were raised last year about the
high ticket prices. However, it was
in order to perpetuate this here
race in Nebraskee. Sech excitin
entertainment will feeture a gal

No Shavin Necessary
However, sence thar is a un
limited amount of undefenseless
males at Nebraskee U, we has
consented to one means o' pro
tection. No he-male which is elig
ibul to be chased has ter shave
fer ONE HOLE WEEK before
Nov. 13. We hopes sech gener
osity will be appreshiated.
Other rules for the racin' and
dancin' is that costumes must be
worn which is typical of Dogpatch
& thet all caughted men must
take gals home after the dance.
An official proclamation of t h e
same will be published in this
here "Rag" m a few days' time.
In order ter keep all citizens
awair of the develupments of
racin' skill of varius members of
this here place, we will have
daily reports on the progress of

decided that there was too little
time last year to do anything
about it and corrections would be
made this year.
Appear:ng for the Military de
partment Cadet Col. Jack Meehan
said, "We are charging higher
prices for this affair than other
groups charge because we want
to make this the biggest Ball stu
dents have ever seen. The Mili
tary Ball should not be just an
other affair."
Meehan mentioned that expen
ditures this year are expected to
be higher because of the general
raise in cost of materials and la
bor. Unique lighting, a false ceil
ing and engraved invitations have
been planned for the Ball, which
will also add to the cost.
