TUESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1952 Mortar Board's Object Discussed At a meeting of the College and Bucknell University chapters of Mortar Board Saturday, members of the senior women's honor ary society agreed that the purpose of the group ; is to act as a sounding board" for the various opinions on important campus issues, in order to form a group decision. Mortar Board's duty then would be not to work out the solu- tion to these problems itself, but to initiate the action by bringing the problem to the attention of other groups who could take ac tion, it -was decided. Six of the eight members of the society's local chapter attend ed the day's discussions which in cluded, besides the Motar. Board purpose, drinking at college, the dominance of women in Buck nell's activities, and methods of selecting new Mortar Board mem bers. Women Dominate Activities The university has no restric tions on drinking, except where it is done to excess and found no particular, drinking problems aris ing. Bucknellians showed interest in the recent announcement of a possible "crackdown" on violators of drinking laWs at the College. " At Bucknell women hold most administrative positions, such as editor of the newspaper and year book and, student director of dra matic productions. The universi ty's chapter is trying to find ways to make men more interested in activities so that they may move into some of these positions. Mem bers of the local chapter felt that practically the reverse condition exists at the College. Live 'in 'Honor , House' In order .to get a broader stu dent opinion of the women who should be. tapped for Mortar Board, the local chapter plans to put in operation Bucknell's system in which junior women vote for those who they think deserve the honor from a list of senior women scholastically eligible The results of the poll would not necessarily bind Mortar Board in its selection of new. members. Members of the College chapter showed 'interest -in the "honor house" in which most of the Buck nell Mortar Boarders live. About Cashmere Sweater. Beautifully fashioned of im ported yarns.
