Secret societies outgrowth of

Collegian Staff Writer
One morning not too long ago, William
Fishbeck, an English professor at the Univer
sity of Virginia, opened his locked office and
found a purple feather lying on his desk.
Inside his locked desk drawer he found an
envelope with two tickets to a play.
Fishbeck had been visited by one of that
university's secret societies, the Society of
the Purple Shadow. Like other secret socie
ties that are traditions at many universities,
it seeks to recognize those who contribute to
the welfare of the school.
Next week, indictments are expected to
name another of UVA's secret societies, the
Council of the Stone, for stealing almost $lOO,-
000 from the university.
Officials there are trying to sort out the
mess, with charges of a cover-up by the UVA
administration. The secrecy surrounding the
membership of the society has made the job
harder, said Chip German, news director for
the school.

AP White House Correspondent
REYKJAVIK, Iceland President Rea
gan, vowing to "face the tough issues direct
ly" but frowning on quick-fix deals, arrived
in Iceland last night for a superpower sum
mit with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.
Under a pelting rain, Air Force One
taxied on the tarmac on the Keflevik air
port. The president, wearing a light tan
raincoat, was greeted by Iceland's presi
dent, Vigdis Finnbogadottir, the only elect
ed woman president in the world, along with
Prime Minister Steingrimur Hermannsson
and Foreign Minister Matthias A. Mathia
sen.
An honor guard of Icelandic policemen
stood by as Reagan shook hands, then took a
limousine ride into Reykjavik, the capital
city.
Given a warm farewell on the White
House South Lawn by. his wife Nancy, mem
bers of the Cabinet and staff aides, Reagan
said the talks "can be a step, a useful
step. . . . And if we persevere, the goal of a
better, safer world will someday be ours
and all the world's."
In an indirect reference to his failure to
win a congressional consensus for dropping
a package of restrictions on his arms poli
cies, Reagan said he •needed the nation's
unified support.
But the president left with the Congress
still at loggerheads over his demand that it
give him unqualified support to negotiate
with Gorbachev not his own government
on the future of the "Star Wars" futuris
tic missile defense shield, nuclear tests,
chemical weapons and strategic arms limi
tations.

the
daily
account for the group to facilitate trans
actions. Somehow the society tapped into the
university's funds, and when university po
lice investigated, the account showed a $60,-
000 deficit. In the home of a former student
who established the bank account for the
society, police recovered more than $40,000 in
computers and other equipment.
"These groups are said to work for the
welfare of the university. There's a deep
tradition of honor and philanthropy in college
secret societies," said German. "This is a
failure."
Lion's Paw, one of Penn State's secret
societies, also has a tradition of philanthropy.
The Lion's. Paw Alumni Association is the
"single most loyal group of aluinni the Uni
versity has," said John Black, University
Alumni Association associate director of
communications and administration.
One third of Lion's Paw alumni are life
members of the University Alumni Associa
tion and 75 percent are dues-paying mem
bers, said Black, who is also secretary to the
Lion's Paw alumni.
Lion's Paw members reach high into the
"The world has never known a force as
strong or decent as that of America when
we are unified," Reagan said.
Given a choice by Gorbachev, who pro
posed the new round of talks just three
weeks ago, Reagan picked the remote is
land nation on the Arctic Circle in keeping
with his desire for a low-key, businesslike
session without the media circus that at
tended his first meeting with a Soviet leader
last November in Geneva.
And both sides agreed the talks would be
accompanied by a news blackout.
In fact, Nancy Reagan chose to •stay
home, keeping commitments she had for an
array of appearances associated with her
work in educating people about the dangers
of drug abuse.
Although Reagan portrayed the meeting
in Reykjavik as a private talk between two
men, the Soviets were expected to send
about 300 in their official party, and the U.S.
contingent was likely to be about the same
size. More than a thousand reporters, pho
tographers, technicians and support people
were ready to cover the hastily arranged
summit.
Reagan appeared in high spirits as he
spoke on the White House grounds of his
hopes for Reykjavik. As the noise of a'
passing plane drowned him out, he looked to
the sky and quipped, "Get out of the way."
Nancy Reagan walked the president part
way to the helicopter, her husband's arm
around her waist. They hugged, kissed and
then, as Reagan continued on, waved at
each other. Just before ducking into the
aircraft, Reagan turned and waved again
and blew a kiss.
Minutes earlier, standing at a lectern on
the lawn, Reagan said that for the United
Collegian
national scene. Former Cabinet member and
U.S. Sen. Richard Schweiker, Los Angeles
Times National Editor Michael Miller, and
the recently retired president of the Stanley
Tool Co., Donald W. Davis, were Lion's Paw
members.
Steve Garban, University senior vice presi
dent for finance and operations, and several
University trustees, including President Obie
Snider and Jesse Arnelle, were also in Lion's
Paw.
"College secret societies are roads to join
ing the establishment," said Fishbeck, who
has studied the history of secret societies.
"They teach loyalty and fidelity, but by
nature they are elitist institutions."
Yale University is also famous for its eight
secret societies, the most prominent of
which, Skull and Bones, produced Vice Presi 7
dent George Bush, writer William F. Buckley
Jr. and former Supreme Court Justice Potter
Stewart.
Yale's society is not the same as Penn
State's Skull and Bones secret honor society.
At Yale, the society is so established they
have their own windowless tomb, much like a
States to pursue peace, "we must face the
tough issues directly and honestly and with
hope."
But he said that "we cannot pretend that
differences aren't there, seek to dash off a
few quick agreements, and then give
speeches about the spirit of Reykjavik."
Indeed, the president said, there are "se
rious problemg'with.the Soviet positions on
a great many issues, and success is not
guaranteed."
"But if Mr. Gorbachev comes to Iceland
in a truly cooperative spirit, I think we can

clubhouse, where the 15 members meet Sun
day and Thursday nights for dinner.
According to research done on Yale's Skull
and Bones, each member gets a no•strings,
tax-free gift of $15,000 from the alumni trust
fund that finances the society. Members also
may use a private resort island in the St.
Lawrence River.
Membership of UVA's most noted secret
society, the Seven Society, is so secret that
only when a member dies is membership
disclosed because the university's bells toll at
the hour of the burial. A floral arrangement
in the shape of a seven is placed at the grave.
The society anonymously gives awards and
money to various UVA causes, Fishbeck said.
It also, like the Purple Shadow society, recog
nizes devotion to the university by rewarding
individuals with gifts.
.Fishbeck said members of UVA's secret
societies are usually the top student leaders
and those committed to UVA's welfare. Even
some non-graduates may be asked to join if
they make a substantial contribution to the
university.
Ross Lehman, a former secretary of the
make some progress," Reagan added.
Although Reagan has refused to call the
meeting a summit, insisting it is only a
"preparatory" round to speed Gorbachev's
promised visit to the United States as early
as next month, U.S. officials say they expect
the leaders to cover all major problems in
U.S.-Soviet relations, from arms control to
consular matters and cultural affairs.
The two men meet for the first time in
Reykjavik on Saturday morning, with a
second two-hour session scheduled that af
ternoon and a final meeting set for Sunday.

moving to morning
By JAMES A. STEWART
Collegian Staff Writer
The Centre Daily Times will com
bine its morning and evening editions
into a single, more complete morning
paper beginning Dec. 1, the publisher
of the State College daily said.
"We've known the move made
sense and would happen before too
long," Publisher Chris Harte said.
The single paper will include fea
tures and business news from the
A.M. edition and the local news cov
erage of the evening edition, Harte .
said.
Average circulation for the com
bined papers is about 23,000, Harte
said, with about 2,500 circulation for
the A.M. edition. Circulation for both
papers increases, during the football

Lion's Paw Alumni Association, said Lion's
Paw isn't at all comparable to Yale's secret
society. "(Lion's Paw) is an idea board. It's a
discussion group for student leaders."
Lehman said he defined secret society as a
group attempting to "directly exercise con
trol over a segment of society. Lion's Paw
does not as a group back projects or make
decisions about University problems.
"It's good for Penn State as long as they do
not violate democratic principles," he said.
"Most groups have a right to private dis
cussions. Doesn't the Interfraternity Council
have a right to private discussion? Isn't the
Collegian's editorial board a private dis
cussion?
"Lion's Paw is just members trying to be of
service to the University," Lehman said,
