To the Editor:
On Ivy Day, April 30,
Black Masque chapter of
Mortar Board will select
outstanding junior women
for membership. These
women will be selected on
the basis of three citeria
scholarsip, leadership and
service.
Wo recognize the impor
tance of scholarsip, since
the ultimate goal of those
attending a university must
be to gaine the best educa
tion possible. This year the
minimum scholarship aver
age has been placed at 6.5.
In considering service,
we believe that the quality
of service rather than the
quantity Is the Important
factor. It is net so Impor
tant what office the woman
may hold, but rather hew
he has discharged the re
sponsibility vested in her.
' Leadership involves
many elements of charac
ter qualities such as in
tegrity of purpose, depen
dability, sincerity, ability to
subordinate one's self -and
be led as well as lead,
creativeness, initiative and
the extent and type of in
fluence exerted on the
campus. ;
Mortar Board seeks to
elect those campus lead
ers who have achieved a
balance in their college
work between schclastic en
deavors and participation
la the campus community.
Those who have boon
masked on previous Ivy
Days know that Mortar
Board is much more of a
service than honorary or
ganisation. The purpose, as
stated in the preamble of
our constitution, is . . to
promote college loyalty, to
advance the spirit of serv
ice, and fellowship among
university women, to pro
mote and maintain a high
standard of scholarship and
to recognize and enourage
leadership, and to stimulate
and develop a finer type of
college woman."
May this be the challenge
to the "1960-61 chapter of
Mortar Board.

It is most interesting that
although the Rag has al
legedly missed covering
certain activities that only
on two occasions have
members of that activity
been conscientious enough
to come down to the pit
and set the record straight.
The paper's allegedly per
fect score in the past dec
ade has not been enough
to prevent it from winning
its share of first class rat
ings, and even a couple
All-Americans. It is not a
bad bet that this semes
ter's paper will do at least
as well.
, If the paper is less in
teresting to- those of you
who seem to have taken
, the time to read the last
decade of publication and
thus qualify yourselves as
experts in this field, per
haps it is because the high
professional competence of
the stuff makes them abhor
yellow journalism and half
truths, which after all are
probably more interesting
than straight news.
We have on this campus
a body which selects the
members of the Rag staff.
No one who has taken the
time to talk to the members
, of Pub Board is going to
believe that the other five
members follow the slavish
dictates of the members of
J School. It is rare when
there is any great dissen
sion over the choices for
the top positions, but that
is not because the Board is
biased; it is because few
students have the ability
and the type of devotion
that it takes to stay on
the paper long enough to
be considered for its high
est honor.

would like to apply for the
editorship or any other po

Exam Cheating
To the Editor:
In recent months there
has been a great deal of
discussion on both the na
tional and local levels on
the state of the nation's
moral fabric.
Presumably the Univer
sity should be doing its part
in this campaign. But what
do we find on this campus?
On a recent examination a
student persuaded a friend
to take the exam for him.
His friend was discovered
doing just that.
The penalty: the student
who was enrolled in the
course was not allowed
back into the class and
both he and his friend were
put on conduct probation
for next semester.
Mind you, this isn't the
case of one student glanc
at his neighbor's paper dur
ing an exam, but was a
premeditate bit of dishon
esty. It would seem that any stu
dent who is doing poorly in
a course should get a friend
to take his exams for him.
After all he is in jeopardy
of being put on probation
for a semester if he fails
the course anyway.
Certainly he has much to
gain and little to lose. Let
ting people who deliberate
ly use fraudulent methods
to pass courses get off with
small penalties is extreme
ly unfair to the majority of
the students who do their
own work, and even more
unfair to the instructors
who supposedly should pre
vent cheating.
There is nothing like see
ing a cheat get off the hook
to make a person believe
honesty is the worst poli
cy. . G.H.
Lauffer, an organic chem
ist who has been supervis
ing the making of lipstick
for 26 years, warned that

Most of the injuries con

social events are to be held.
Eight Standards
The Intercollegiate Press
said this controlling body of
sorority women placed
eight standards on the list
for evaluating a lolal es
tablishment. They- include:
1. The reputation of the
proprietor.
2. The respect of. reser
vations made.
3. The proprietor's en
forcement of the Ohio
liquor laws.
4. The proprietor or own
er's presence at the rec
ognized function (he in ad
dition to the necessary
chaperone for any regis
tered event.)
5. The proprietor's strict
ness with checking the ages
of those able to drink.
6. The whole attitude of
the proprietor and his ac
tions in this matter.
7. The fact that liquor be
served at the establish
ment where the event is
held. The reason for this is
so that the age of the par
ticipants can be adequately
checked.
8. The enforcement of
sanitation laws.

By Dick Masters
Fair idiots (and foul
ones) peace attend thee.
Throughout the year, the
SATYR has promised you
little bits of information
concerning the incredibly
rotten dealings of politi
cal monstrosities, known
only by that mystical sym
bol of Theta Nu Epsilon.
The time is at hand when
the culmination of their lit
tle dabblings will assert it
self in a most convincing
and ostentatious manner.
Huzzah for Ivy Day!
Gentle bovine reader
browse upon the pasture
of bitterness grazed by two
forlorn goats. No doubt the
outing will enlighten, fright-
en and convince you about
the validity of our incon
stant mumblings.
Allow the SATYR to slip
into the motif of Grecian
culture cults. (Like the the
atre to those of you who are
out i c o u t and unbe
knownst) We will let your feeble
minds determine who the
Thespians are as well as
the author of our little
drama (or shall we call it
a one act farce) as well as
the directors and title roles.
It might be of interest to
the theatre-goers to be no
tified of the little set par
ty for the cast and their
close friends to be held
before the staging of the
show. Try the Philosopher's
Coliseum at 2:30 Green
wich Mean time the eve
ning preceding the fiasco.
Since this party testifies
to the pre-success of the
drama, it does not seem un
reasonable for these un
heralded critics to give our
readers a brief resume of
the little farce.
The drama begins its fat
al first act with the pro
cession of the Vestal Vir
gins. The Dityhyramb is
sung to set the stage for
the light comedy which will
soon begin. These humble
critics will overlook the
ecstatic delights of the
scene enveloping the femin
ine act of these revered and
time-honored festivities of
the stage.
Of the players, only five
of the elders are worthy of
noting. Romulus, Fyogolus,
Mucoi, Hippocrates and
Prostatus are the Thes
pians of the cast and with

the analytical eye of the
.critic, we will tell of their
previous acting experience
and briefly tell of their per
formances. Romulus, a Roman who
replaced an injured actor
of the. previous year, has
little if any experience in
the field of drama but car
ried out his appointed role
as the Thespians knew he
would.
' Fyogolus, a simple agrar
rian, gave his mostbrilliant
performance of the season.
All the subtle mockery of
the farce was portrayed in
his silent impersonation.
The ugly little miscreant,
Mucos, chuckled sadistical
ly during the entire scene.
His role of court jester
and money-lender in pre
vious plays gives him depth
and roundness of charac
ter. Hippocrates, a rising
young blood-letter of du
bious talents, went all-out
and literally threw himself
into his role. Nonetheless, a
rather shallow portrayal.
The noble Prostatus
threw off his education as
a road builder and conduit
planner to take on the re
sponsibilities of governing
the Greeks. A new low in
the life and times of Athens
was seen under his reign.
However his performance
in the comedy was up to
his usual sub-standard.
The trembling urchins of
the street the youngers of
the Thespians, handled
their roles with astonishing
prowess. All the dramatists
acted surprised with their
newly-found fortunes.
Clogulos, a smiling
Agrarian, fell nicely under
the auspices of the audi
ence. Cologulos is a recog
nized player and deserves
a real round of hearty ap
plause. He is the only Thes
pian of this year to deserve
anything but ostracism.
Judas came through as
his namesake did on his
day of days. Judas has had
a great deal of dramatic
experience but his lack of
talent is superceded only
by the lack of anyone else
to fill this role.
Kanodius ah gentle
readers, here indeed a star
is born. Little Kanodius has
done his job well Indeed.
Numerous positions may be
indiscreetly tacked on his
name. Any lover of the arts
may be easily impressed
by his brilliant acting. Bnt
the critics sincerely hope
that Kanodius will learn his
lines. Luckily for the entire

production, talent in this
field has little to do with
intelligence, -
Here is a name new to
' the billboards, Syndopholes,
who is filling in for more
able players who did not
happen to be Thespians.
Pity! Syndopholes is a Nub
bian slave who" possesses
few talents, fewer status
symbols, and even fewer
gifts of intelligence than
his comrades in comedy.
As critics we feel it our
duty to point out to our
readers that this character
is of little importance any
way. Do not judge the
drama too harshly on this
mundane performance. He
was merely a victim of
type-casting. '
Though the actors are of

A GUIDE FOR THE LOVELESS
Gentlemen, take Warning. June is simost upon us June, the
month of brides. Have you got yours yet? If not, don't d
spmir. You don't have to be rich or handsome to rrt a &ri. All
you have to be is kind, considerate, thoughtful, and obliging
in short, a gentleman.
For example, don't ever call a girl for a date at the last min
Bte. Always give her plenty of advance notice like three
months for a coke date, six months for a movie, a year for a
prom, two years for a public execution. This shows the girl that
she is not your second or third choice and also gives her ample
time to select her costume.
And when you ask for a date, do it with a bit of Old Woi4d
gallantry. A poem, for instance, is always sure to pie a
young lady, like this.
think you're euat, -
Daphne La France
I'M ynd em a tvit, i

I'll put am a nai.
And take you Ut a hoi.
V there it no Isabel Prall, Winifred Jopp, or Daphne La
France on your campus, it is quite obvious why you've had
trouble finding dates all year: you've enrolled in an ail -maid
school, you old silly!
Next let us take up the question of etiquette once you ane
out on a date with Isabel, Winifred, or Daphne. The first thing
you do, naturally, is to offer the young lady a Marlboro. Be
sure, however, to offer her an entire Marlboro not just a
Marlboro butt Marlboro butts are good of course, but whole
Marlboros are better. You get an extra inch or two of firs
flavorful tobacco and I mean flavorful. Do you thick flavor
went out when filters came in? Well, you've got a happy sur
prise coming when you light Marlboro. Thai one retillv de
livers the goods on flavor, and when you hand Isabel, Winifred,
or Daphne a whole, complete, brand-new Marlboro, ehe wi'3
know bow highly you regard arid respect her, and she will grew
misty and weak with gratitude, which is very important when
you take her out to dinner, because the only kind of coed a
college man can afford to feed is a weak and misty coed. Latest
statistics show that a coed in a normal condition eate one and
a half tiroes her own weight every twelve hours.
At the end of your date with Isabel, Winifred, or Daphne,
mIm certain to get her borne by curfew time. That is gentle
manly. Do not leave her at a bus stop. That is fude. Deliver
her right to her door and, if possible, stop the ear when you are
droppitux her off.
The next day send a little thank-you note. A poem it best,
like this:
For a wonderful evening, many thamkt,
Ieabel, Winifred, or Daphne.
