In fact you might even consider her a double royalty, for she was a countess in this year's Ak-Sar-Ben Bail. Diane, Miss Navy, is a senior in Home Economics from Fremont and a member of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. v I asked Diane if she was sur prised when she was named to Honorary Commandant' and she said, "Of course I was surprised. I didn't know that I had been chosen until Ron Blue was standing m front of me on the stage. "It wasn't like the Ak-Sar-Ben Ball because I had known for such a long time that I was going to be a countess. The Military Ball was much more of a surprise. I don't think that my parents even knew." When I asked if anything excit ing happened before the Ball, she said, "oh, nothing except that I almost didn't have a dress to wear. I decided to wear my Ak-Sar-Ben ball gown, but it had to have the train cut off, and I didn't get around to taking it to the dress makers until Tuesday. When I got there she was so sick and didn't think she could have it finished by Friday." Perhaps you wonder Just as much as I do what an Honorary Commandant-to-be does just before she goes to the ball. Does she worry? Chew her nails? If Diane Is the answer, she went out to dinner, not in her ball gown, but in a pair of jeans. Diane said she had only one complaint about the ball. She thought the Nav-Cad choir was ex cellent, and Diane Knotek sang beautifully, but she didn't get to Give all . w wism wmsm mtsr m mam m m mm m mm mmm&jr I Courtesy Sunday Journal and Star Ag Union, Mary Seberger, seo- retary of the All-University Square Dance Club, and Don Herman, chairman of the Ag Union dance committee. ma Hour Dance Alpha Chi Omega "Red Carna tion Ball" Formal Saturday Kappa Kappa Gamma " Come- as-you-are" Party dance very much.

Student Body Protests Food In Violent Riot Students of the University of Michigan joined m a food throwing dish smashing demonstration in dormitory dining halls Sunday in a protest over meals.
