ls - hide permissions

I'm listing the files in a particular directory using the ls command...

Code:
$ ls -ogh
total 9.4G
-rw-r--r-- 1 1.9G Nov  4 02:29 file1.tar
-rw-r--r-- 1 1.9G Nov 11 03:11 file2.tar
-rw-r--r-- 1 1.9G Nov 18 02:55 file3.tar
-rw-r--r-- 1 1.9G Nov 25 03:11 file4.tar
-rw-r--r-- 1 1.9G Dec  2 02:46 file5.tar

I'd like to hide the permissions, and rather see this:

Code:
$ ls -????
total 9.4G
1.9G Nov  4 02:29 file1.tar
1.9G Nov 11 03:11 file2.tar
1.9G Nov 18 02:55 file3.tar
1.9G Nov 25 03:11 file4.tar
1.9G Dec  2 02:46 file5.tar

I searched the forum and found that it is pretty easy to do using awk. However, I'd prefer not to use awk and somehow do it from within the ls command.

Can this be done?

virt-tar-in(1)						      Virtualization Support						    virt-tar-in(1)

NAME
virt-tar-in - Unpack a tarball into a virtual machine disk image. SYNOPSIS
virt-tar-in -a disk.img data.tar /destination virt-tar-in -d domain data.tar /destination zcat data.tar.gz | virt-tar-in -d domain - /destination WARNING
Using "virt-tar-in" on live virtual machines can be dangerous, potentially causing disk corruption. The virtual machine must be shut down before you use this command. DESCRIPTION
"virt-tar-in" unpacks an uncompressed tarball into a virtual machine disk image or named libvirt domain. The first parameter is the tar file. Use "-" to read the tar file from standard input. The second parameter is the absolute target directory to unpack into. EXAMPLES
Upload a home directory to a guest: virt-tar-in -d MyGuest homes.tar /home JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH
This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the guestfish(1) "tar-in" command. For anything more complex than a trivial copy, you are probably better off using guestfish directly. OPTIONS
Since the shell script just passes options straight to guestfish, read guestfish(1) to see the full list of options. SEE ALSO
