MORRELL'S Stop in anytime Now have and PIZZA TRY IT LI Phone Order - Call 8-9069 By PEGGY McCLAIN its service to the -University this semester by participating in projects, participating two campus func tions, and offering unlimited as sistance to the Dean of Women's office. . Unique among women's hat sci cieties in that its members were selected for achievements made in only one year on campus, it has taken the initiative in several unspecified projects as well. Dungaree Drag Each year Cwens sponsors a Dungaree Drag, a girl-ask-boy dance in Recreation Hall. Not withstanding the benefits re ceived by the group from work ing together on a project, the Drag entails much work not necessarily appreciated by those attending the dance. This year members began work on the Drag in September. Considering the number of hours spent on poster and window painting for pub licity, decorating, and refresh ment planning, it is safe to say the dance is one of the largest pro jects undertaken by the group. As its second largest project, Cwens annually grants several $5O scholarships to sophomore students. Last year the awards were not made because of a fi nancial low in the chapter. Last week, however, two grants were given to junior women who ap plied last year for the scholarship, and approximately three more grants are being set aside to be given at the end of the spring semester. In cooperation with other cam pus hat societies and service groups, the majority of Cwens members -spent a greater part of Orientation 'Week this fall, help ing with registration and acting as counselors to new students. Christmas Project The group deviated this year from its usual children's Christ mas party project and instead bought and carried a basket of food, sufficient for one full-course meal and a smaller "left-overs" meal, •to a family living in the State College area. . Although these are the most ex tensive projects of Cwens, they are by no means the only ones. A project committee works throughout the year compiling and selecting new activities for the group to undertake and the organization is always subject to "calls for help" from the. Dean of Women's office. The list of activities is perhaps more impressive when viewed with 'the-individual activities in which the members are engaged.. Cwens members were selected on a basis of having a minimum of one major and two minor activi ties and at least a 1.5 All-Univer sity average: While participating in C'Wens projects, attending the society's bimonthly meetings, and in many , cases serving on indi vidual Cwens :committees, the members ordinarily continue in their own indiv 'dual activities, in most cases, adrTing more to their rosters: The same is normally true in , all' hat 'societies and service groups.-- Good Fellowship But, as most Cwens. will say, the society isn't all "work and projects." The ritual itself advo cates good fellowship among the members, and, at the discretion of the chapter, Cweris' hold several parties and "feasts"' each year. For instance this fall the chap ter had a come-as-you-are party for its alumni. Pajamas and petti coats were "vogue" at the affair, and Nancy White, former Cwerr and president of Women's Student Government 'Association, won two goldfish for being the "best dressed" Cwen. at the party.
