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

Co-edito
that Mistletoe was venerated by the Druids in
Ancient Britain and was considered an emblem
of friendship and good fortune. When enemies
met beneath it they would embrace . . . starting
the traditional "kissing under the mistletoe."
And when you enter the door at Vic's and
step into that friendly atmosphere—you'll know
that not only will you get a wonderful meal—
but a homely place in which to enjoy it. So stop
in tomorrow and see for yourself why Penn State
students pick Vic's for that meal or evening snack.
