By BETTY ANN STEVENS
Mortar Board—that time in a
young coed’s life when she can
date the really smooth deal
whose eye she’s been trying to
catch all year, or show her steady
how much she really appreciates
him.
With freshman wcmen desper
ately dragging the mud-race for
a man, or a facsimile thereof,
since they are required to attend,
the Mortar Board ball will swing
into action tonight, with Art
Holman's orchestra, at McArthur
court.
The trek to men's living or
ganizations, after the coy male,
will begin as women corner their
dates for dinner at their living
organizations jor downtown. In
compliance with Dean Hazel P.
Schwering’s request, parties of
six cr more must register at her
office, with the name of their
chaperon.
The recalcitrant male will be
the target of flowers tonight, for
