Assure Success Of Class Dance J Success of the Junior-Senior Ball scheduled for commencement night in the Tulane room of the Jung hotel is assured, John F. Screen, chairman of the ball committee, asserted Wednesday. "The pledges to pay class dues, which were distributed throughout the university earlier in the week have caused some misunderstanding but this has been cleared up," declared Screen. A sufficient number of pledges were necessary to underwrite, expenses before any contracts could be signed, he pointed out. This early payment of dues is necessary to meet expenses which may fall due before the date of the ball. The signing of the pledges was required by the Rev. F. L. Janssen, S.J., to insure the university against any possible loss. Screen also announced that those who did not sign pledges are still eligible to attend the ball and they may pay their dues either before or after May 1.
