Show A Gallery of Utah's Organizations There is a middle lane in the University's social and academic life. It is the area in which groups of Utah's student body ban together for most specific reasons. It is in these areas that we find organizations comprised of the groups with the highest scholastic achievements in combination with a contribution of an active campus life, groups who work mainly for the betterment of the campus in general, and groups whose purpose is derived from the common interest in a certain field. But a common thread runs through them all, they bring together individuals of similar interests who desire a "filling out" and achieve this by their participation in worthwhile extra-curricular activities. In these pages are held a cursory glance at most of these. Beehive, for instance, is representative of the top students of the University. Its members have maintained for four years both a high scholastic average as well as a top activity and character rating. Owl and Key, the senior men's honorary, selects members on a basis very similar to Beehive; as does the corresponding women's honorary, Mortar Board. From the Junior class are selected men with an overall high scholastic rating and an outstanding record of service to the campus to become members of Skull and Bones. Cweans' organization corresponds to Skull and Bones but members are selected from the female half of the junior class. They acted in their usual capacity as the gold and purple-wearing campus hostesses. Spurs boasted a large number of the high ranking sophomore women who had assisted, in their crisp red and white uniforms, to make every activity a success. Their male counterparts, the Intercollegiate Knights, were chosen for similar standards in the same tradition as their fellow members across the nation. Two other honoraries remain noteworthy. They are Phi Eta Sigma for top freshman men and Alpha Lambda Delta for top freshman women. |
