The Passing of a Tradition

Partygoers at the·Beaux Arts Ball will have the chance to paint the town red tonight, but they almost lost that chance earlier this week when publicity for the ball included painting the campus red. The ball was almost cancelled when publi<;ity measures such as painting sidewalks and covering statues with red plastic were viewed as extreme by the administration, according to joseph Pitchford, president of the Notre Dame chapter of the American Institute of Architecture.
