Phi Theta Kappa
Elects Students
To Honor Society
Omicron Chapter of Phi Theta
Kappa, National Honorary Scholastic Society, announces the recent election of the following students: Dorothy Lofgren, John
Parkhill, Donna Highum, Marlys
Schultz, and Fred Melby.
Election to Phi Theta Kappa requires that a student carry a cumulative average of fifteen hours
a quarter and that twelve of
these be in Science, Literature and
Arts courses. Those students who
are eligible must also have at
least a B average and must be
considered worthy of the honor
by both the faculty and! society.
The election this year was postponed until after the second quarter to allow students a longer
time in which to establish a good
average. After the first election,
elections are held at the end of
each quarter, and a student may
become eligible at any time during his college course.
The initiation will be held on
Monday evening, May 4, at the
Seton Guild. Members will be
asked to illustrate their intellectual
abilities in an informal initiation
before they are formally admitted into this society. Dean Goddard will be the speaker for the
evening.
The evening's entertainment will
conclude with games and light
refreshments.

Lunch Discontinued
At Merry-Go-Round
Starting last Monday the Merry-Go-Round is serving only
soups, ice cream, candy' and pop.
The change was necessary because of the lack of funds for
operation during fhe rest of the
year. The school contract with
the Y. W. C. A. expired on April
24th and there was very little
left after all expenses had been
paid. The new policy will take
less help and will enable the Merry-Go-Round to stay open during
the' month of May. New hours
are also in effect—from 11:00 to
t:00 every day instead of the
former  T1:0Q to   1:30 schedule:
