highest honorary organization on
the campus, according to Pat
Paddock, president of the order.
“As yet the final list of persons
to receive the honor has not
been determined,’’ said Paddock,
“but it is hoped that any student
meriting the honor will not be
overlooked.” As has been custom¬
ary since the club was organized,
the names of the new members
will remain a secret with the ac¬
tive members until after the tap¬
ping is completed.
Active members of the order
are meeting today to discuss the
names of students eligible for
membership. Due to the small list
of active members in the college
at the present time it will be nec¬
essary to call on several of the
alumni members to assist in the
tapping ceremonies.
New members of the order will
be introduced to the alumni mem¬
bers of the order at a banquet to
be held the evening of February
6. Final details of the dinner will
be completed at a meeting today
during club period. It is also cus¬
tomary to elect the spring semes¬
ter officers at this dinner.
Order of Mast and Dagger will
present the program for the first
assembly of the new semester, a
tradition that has been maintained
since the club was organized.
Plans include a program of enter¬
tainment by the Bulldog band and
several specialty numbers.
At a meeting of the club held
last week plans were discussed for
the carnival to be held in May.
There is a possibility that a con¬
test will be held to get a theme
for the carnival. As usual, a
queen will be chosen to reign over
the carnival and parade, which Is
held the day before the carnival.
NEW OFFICERS OF
RICC TO BE PICKED
With election of officers as the
important feature, the Restrictive
Inter-Club council is holding a
meeting during club period today
