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.
The Ivy Day soloist, Lor
raine Morris, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Morris
of Wayne, has been quite ac
tive in musical activities
during her college career at
the University.
A member and officer of
Mu Phi Epsilon, a music so
rority, Miss Morris was so
prano soloist for the 1963
"Messiah" and held the lead
in the 1965 opera, "La Tra
viata." She was also senior
soloist for 1964-65. She was
chosen by the Mortar Board
on .the basis of talent, serv
ice to the University and the
School of Music.
Three youngsters, children
of former Mortar Board
members, will also be par
ticipating in the ceremonies.
They include Colleen Ann

ideas of individual freedom be
cause they have to take an
institutional point of view.
The Catholic priest said that
his church considered sexuali
ty a wholesome and good
thing and that because it is
treasured so highly it should
only be used in matrimony.
The protestant minister said
that sex begins in a love rela
tionship between two mature
adults which is extended to the
care of children and the sta
bility of society.
The Jewish rabbi said that
there is nothing in the Bible
except a reference to sex in
connection with marriage.
All the churchmen admitted
that their religious codes pre
sent a basic problem. They
said that their codes on sex
deal only with family morali
ty and marriage.
All four speakers , agreed
that the standard common
morality codes about sex are
changing or at least being
questioned more.
A sparse, but lively audi
ence discussed the tape at the

A policy statement concern
ing the -drinking problem in
fraternities was released last
Wednesday night at the In-
terfraternity Council (IFC)
meeting.
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

leviate housing problems on
the campus. The idea had
been discussed last October,
he said, but no definite action
has been taken yet.
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.

for next year, and will be

fied to speak on our topics,"
