at ASSC Ball
Candle-Lit Viennese Garden Attracts Students to Dance Tomorrow Night
Number one on the Trojan social calendar this year—th* ASSC candlelight ball—will take place on a sound stage a' Monogram studio, 4376 South Sunset drive, tomorrow evening at 9 o’clock.
As a result of elaborate decorative work, the sound stage ~	| will resemble an exquisite Viennese
waltz garden where costumed students will whirl to the pulsating waltzes of Strauss and Lehar as interpreted by Sterling Young and his orchestra.
There will be more than waltzes, however, as the orchestra will intersperse popular dance tunes among the musical numbers for the benefit of those unmoved or uninterested in the semi-classics.
With a stirring trumpet fanfare, each couple upon entering the garden will be given a formal arrival announcement — “Their lordships, the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Trojan.”
Fully appropriate to the dignified yet gay atmosphere, students will wear an international assortment of costumes in favor of our usual American formal dress.
Pi Kappa Alphas have planned to attend in uniforms of the Russian imperial army. Zeta Taus will dress as Scotch highlanders. Sigma Epsilons as American officers. Sigma Nus and Phi Kappa Psis as barons and ambassadors. In fact everybody attending will be a virtual “blue-booker” for the evening.
The garden, with its portable dance floor constructed over the floor of the stage, will have all the grandeur of the garden- set used in “Tne Great Waltz.” More than 100 tables containing electric candlelights will encircle the floor, and drooping green trees will form the background. A rustic fountain will stand in the middle of the floor and will spout water.
Clark Liddell—serves on waltz festival committee.

Students, give your Trojan yell king a break! Take your activity books to the ticket office in the Student Union book store where tickets are on sale at $1.10 for the Stanford-SC game to be held on the Cardinal campus next Saturday, October 26.
Tuesdav is the last day the ducats can be bought. However, get them sooner if you can because Eddie Davis is planning on an extensive group of card stunts for Troy’s rooting section, and he will be unable to work out the details for these stunts until he knows how large the section will be.
To date, only a small proportion of the students that are known to be going to the game have purchased their tickets. Arnold Eddy, ASSC general manager, says that only 500 of an expected 2000 students have so far gotten their pasteboards.
The tickets for the two preferred seats that are allowed to each student will be available for purchase only until tomorrow night.
