Saturday the day for, 'Splendor in the Grass has come at last. The 76th annual Ivy Day ceremonies will begin at 10 a.m. tomorrow morning on the lawn between the Shel don Art Gallery and Archi tectural Hall. With the ringing of the carillon tower at 9:45, hun dreds of students, parents, alums and just interested people will gather to watch the festivities. Some fifty juniors will spend a rather breathless morning awaiting the tackl ing and masking of the In nocents and Mortar Boards. The 'spooky' highlight of every Ivy Day, these two senior honoraries date back to the early 1900's. The "Order of the Black Masque" was founded at the University in 1905. The need for the group had been felt, as the men already had their organization of thir teen members. The women's organization was a secret order, and the women wore caps, gowns and black masks when meeting together in public and at ceremonies. Since 1905, new members have been revaled at I v y Day by being masked with small black masks. The local group affiliated with national Mortar Board in October, 1920, to become Black Masque Chapter, the 12th national chapter. In the spring, each chap ter of Mortar Board selects from five to twenty-five women who will have com pleted the junior year by the opening of the fall term. These women are chosen for demonstrated service and leadership from the number who have main tained an outstanding scho lastic record. The purpose of Mortar Board is to provide for the cooperation between socie ties, to promote college loy alty, to advance the spirit of service and fellowship among University won- ., to maintain a high standard of scholarship, to recognize and encourage leadership and to stimulate and de velop a finer type of college woman. The Innocents Society was in existence two years be fore the Mortar Board. It was founded April 24, 1903, by Professor George Con dra. Condra was disturbed by the lack of proper student spirit on campus, especial ly at varsity sporting events. Since secret socie ties were popular at that time, he organized such a pep organization. Chancellor Benjamin An drews, who was impressed by the historical significance of the thirteen Popes named Innocent, was re sponsible for establishing the number of members and the name of the new Society. The Society has never had any religious af filiation, however. In 1304, the original Inno cents tackled thirteen suc cessors, and the following year the tackling ceremony was added to the Ivy Day program. In 1915 the traditional scar let robes and baldrics were substituted for the original society's costume of mortar board and black gown. Sex Revolution Termed 'Search for A sexual revolution, not in action, but rather a search for new and better standards of sex and morality. This was the basic topic of a tape on "The Sexual Revolu tion in America" presented by Liz Aitken's Union Talk and Topics Committee in the Un ion auditorium Thursday. Hugh Hefner, editor and publisher of Playboy, along with a Catholic priest, a Prot estant minister and a Jewish rabbi explained that a sexual revolution is taking place in America today. The said that this revolu tion is evident because of in crease in sexual discussion and re-examining of present moral codes. Hefner advocated a free so ciety with some control, but not complete control so as to aid the happiness of the indi vidual. He pointed out that in France sex is often used free ly so that a person can ex press himself as an Individual. The churchmen pointed out that they can't support such The thirteen Innocents are senior men who have dem onstrated outstanding schol arship, service and partici pation in University activi ties. The objectives of the group are to promote the welfare, interests and tra ditions of the University; to organize constructive school spirit and activity; and to give recognition to campus leaders. This year's ceremonies will be under the direction of Dr. Curtis Elliott, master of ceremonies. Elliott, a Re gents professor of economics and insurance, was chosen as master of ceremonies for his many contributions" to the University.

President Buzz Madsen said that "The IFC shall not con done fraternities which be come involved in buying, as sessing for or serving alcohol ic beverages at registered parties, or unregistered par ties in the name of -the house." The statement said that fra ternities "are expected to use their influence to prevent drinking from becoming a problem for the individual and an unfavorable reflection up on the fraternity system." Madson said this statement was directed toward those houses purchasing alcoholic beverages for minors." This does not apply to those who are 21 or older, he said. There is a possibility that two new fraternities will co lonize at the University, ac cording to Mike Gottschalk, expansion area chairman. The two are Pi Kappa Alpha and Tau Kappa Epsilon. Gottschalk said the IFC would be communicating with them in the near future. He also mentioned the idea of a fraternity complex to al Political Science Honorary Outlines New Objectives Political Science honorary Pi Sigma Alpha outlined its objectives for next year: "We plan to launch a for um discussion series on var ied political subjects with the intent of arriving at a mean ingful examination and clear er understanding of these top ics," said Bill Harding, newly elected president.

Within the next two or three weeks each house will be re ceiving blanks from the Stu dent Affairs Office to fill out concerning their feelings on this idea. Gottschalk said that under such a plan the University would allow each bouse to be responsible for the planning and decorating of the first floor of their part of the com plex. The second floors would be uniform . to facilitate econ omy, he said. Gottschalk said that on the remote possibility that the University could not get the land necessary or construct fast enough to meet the fra ternity needs, there is the pos sibility that private financing could be secured. A sketch of the proposed billboard to publicize Univer sity was passed around to IFC members during the meeting, and all members were asked to give their impressions of it to Gary Larsen, affairs chair man. The billboard will cost $350 for next year, and will be senators and "anybody quali fied to speak on our topics," Harding said.
