Charity Ball, A New Tradition,
Originated After Formal 'Flop'
n 1848, something almost tin'
believable occurred! Another tun-
lOTgettable, and some say wnfor
giveable, -event ivent -down In the
history ot the University of Me
braska! A long successful and
bided-by tradition Jailed! The
Military Ball was a flop!
5948, on the same -evening
that !the Military Ball was to be
held another histoi'ical evenf'hap
pened. The first Charity Ball
was leld, and was a tremendous
vuceess.
A Coincidenee?
Was it coincidence that a tra
ditional formal was unsuccessful
as compared 'to the premier -of a
new type of formal?
No, it was not a coincidence,
trot purposeful protest against
"the exhorbitant prices charged
for traditional campus social
eventsnamely the Military Ball.
Presidents of organized houses
put themselves on record as pro
testing the excessive price of the
Military Ball tickets. But these
meh were not speaking for them
selves. They "voiced the opinions
of hundreds of students who were
appalled -at the ticket cost. The
foigh cost of an education couldn't
compare to the high cost of en
tertainment the campus had been
sponsoring, and the l.Mitary Ball
was the "last straw!"
Creeks Take Stana
All fraternity men, with 'the
exception of cadet officers, were
urged not to attend the Military
Ball. An observer of this protest
commented, In a letter published
in the "Rag," that it was too bad
that some of the girls would be
denied the pleasure of displaying
their finery there. However, he
believed that tome of the Inde
pendent men were probably over
joyed at the prospect of less com
petition in the dating field.
Not to be '''outrated in the dat
ing field," some of the fraternity
men decided to stage a Charity
Ball, 'where, as the name Indi
cates, all proceeds would go to
charity. The formal ball was to
be 'held at Kings and the tickets
were considerably cheaper.
Because of limited -seating ca
pacity, the dance was not too
widely publicized. However, word
got around via the grape-vine,
and ticket selling was a huge
success. A profit was made, and
charity benefited.
Since then, the Charity Ball
has become an annual event, but
purely for charity, not competi-'
tion. A dance, which had father
a bad beginning, 4s now probably
the only oig campus dance with
charity foremost in mind. 1
