Mortar Board Formal Guarantees Even Break for Bachelors Tonight Reversing the usual procedure, Oregon coeds will tonight be ring ing the doorbells of men’s living organizations before escorting their dates to the Igloo to attend the annual formal Mortar Board ball. Following tradition, girls will car ry out the tasks which are usually assigned to men—walking next to the street, assisting one’s date down steps and curbs, calling for dates, sending flowers, and, to complete the procedure, paying all expenses. Bachelors Beware This year’s Mortar Board ball theme was appropriately chosen, Bachelor Catcher’s Ball. A cos metic motif will be carried out in the decorations and a sample box of powder will be presented to each girl. Barbara Borrevick, co-chairman of decorations, said that though many suggestions and attempts had been made to construct a false P ceiling, the fire inspectors refused to pass them. “Everyone will just have to come to see how good the decorations are,” she said. Miss Borrevick added that decorating wlil be under way from 8 a.m. to day and said' that any asistance would be welcome. Kwama Tapping One of the outstanding events of the evening will be Kwama tap ping at 10:30 o’clock. This will take place during the intermission. Music for the ball will be pro vided by Ted Hallock’s orchestra. ^_ Jt fc ' 1 - 1 T.
