In early September, however, all con­ ditions were met and approval w^as se­ cured from the Commanding and Execu­ tive officers.

The first V-12 ball was held on Fri­ day, Oct. 15, and it set a standard for high-class social entertainment for the station and the University. It was a nip and tuck struggle for a while to see that all "the dough Avas in the pocket." As Lt.

As the month of November signalled the beginning of the winter semester, it soon became apparent that the navy V- 12 unit, one of the nation's largest, was undergoing important changes in per­ sonnel and policy. The concluding strains of the semes­ ter previous had introduced to the Notre Dame campus a new commandant, Capt. J. R. Barry, replacing Capt. H. P. Bur­ nett, who had received an assignment to the fleet. Also passing from the Notre Dame scene was Lieut.-Comdr. W. S. Howell, V-12 executive officer. His position in the unit was assumed by Lieut.-Comdr. A. R. Pierson, who had previously been the commanding officer of the navy unit, Franklin and Marshall College, Lancas­ ter, Pa. To the V-12 unit also came 483 sailors and 12 marines, many of whom were transferred from active duty with the fleet or at shore stations. Augmenting the total of civilian undergraduates to 730, an influx of 202 additional was booked in the registrar's office. Highest enrollments were recorded in the Col­ lege of Engineering and the College of Science. To newcomers on the campus, it was evident that everyone in the vicinity (except the midshipmen) were on the Notre Dame football bandwagon, which /:^M-^. . -'• was inspired by one of the greatest "s ^ /A- teams in the school's history.
