Show Wearing the gown of the honoraries, or the uniform of the service groups, or the school garb of the professional fraternities, we survey the many organizations open to every student on campus for the asking or, in some, the qualifying. Honoraries captured the attention of scholarship seekers with 3.5 grade point averages or more. Service groups kept busy ushering, rousing school spirit, and keeping their uniforms clean. For students looking ahead for vocational opportunities, professional groups offered contacts with alums and future businessmen. Utes banded together for recreation . . . swimming, dancing, flying, and even rodeo riding were included. The public programs of many groups advanced Utah's drive for good public relations. The most expansive program on the campus was the military. Army, Navy, and Air Force recruited men willing to spend four years in military training to secure officer's status. Competition was high among the classes, and the military societies graduated officers ready to serve the nation. For well-rounded personalities, students could turn to common interest groups; and the school turned to them as well for service and high standards. |
