Military Ball:
improved
Ticket Sales
7iis Year
Ticket sales to this year's mili
tary Ball have been much better
than last year, according to Lt.
Cdr. Donald Edge, officer in charge
of this year's Ball.
This is true in the case of the
dance tickets only. Approximately
500 dance tickets have been sold.
' He expressed disapopintment in
the sale of the combination tickets.
The combination tickets, an idea
used for the first time this year,
entitles the purchaser to a buffet
dinner, an orchid corsage, tickets
and transportation to the dance.
"Seeing that the combination offers
the entire evening's expenses at a
bargain rate, I expected the sale
to exceed the amount that has
been sold, which is approximately
100 tickets," Edge said.
Tickets will continue to be on
ale throuought Wednesday and
until 10 a. m. Thursday.
' Orchids can be purchased sepa
rately for $3 at the Military and
Naval Science Building. They can
be picked up Friday between 1
and 5 pjn.
All male students with their Iden
tification Cards and two tickets will
be allowed to vote for the Honor
ary Commandent.
