The Chi Omega Psychology award, which is presented annually to the senior psychology major having the highest scholastic record, was made to Roberta Crim by Jane Mack.
Dressed in caps and gowns, student and faculty members of Nu Kappa Tau filed into the auditorium and onto the stage. Then a student member would take one of the traditional orange scarfs, go into the audience, and drape the scarf around the shoulders of an outstanding woman student and lead her onto the stage. This continued until five new members had been selecte<i.
As Nu Kappa Tau left the stage, the beat of the tom-toms could be heard and through the auditorium marched the Iron Arrow braves dressed in their Seminole Indian regalia. Taking the large arrow, a brave would leave the stage and go out into the audience. As the brave neared the new member, the tom-toms beat louder and louder until at the crescendo the arrow point touched the new “papoose.” This ceremony went on until six University men had been taken into the Iron Arrow tribe.
Selections for Iron Arrow and Nu Kappa Tau are based on scholarship, leadership and character. Only students with a junior standing, or higher, are eligible.

Theta Alpha Phi Production Rates High With Reviewer
A large and very appreciative audience greeted “The Man Who Came to Dinner” at the Cardboard theatre last Friday and Saturday evenings. Good acting by Lee Symansky as Sheridan Whiteside, Elaine Planick, Mary Alice Pennington, and other student actors in the minor roles was the sole reason for the play’s success.
The production would have been a hit in a cow barn. Actually, differences between the theatre and a cow barn on Friday night were so slight as to be unnoticeable. The odor of hydrogen sulfide which obtained entrance to the theatre (without ticket or reserved seat) was unbearable; the heat made it even more so. The audience, however, showed no inclination to leave.
TIm Beard Does Well
Lee Symansky, playing one of the largest and most difficult roles ever assigned any student actor, handled the role with pro-

»embers of the student body are fessional ease and atmity invited to attend.	I Sheridan Whiteside he remained
on the s(age most of the three acts, and during that time kept almost all the attention focused on himseif.
Delivering his tangy lines with great gusto, Lee exacted most of the laughter they possessed. His slight errors in timing his punch lines lost very little of the laugh value. Most noticeable was his on-again off-again accent. On the reviewer’s scorecard the Harvard “A”; won over the ordinary one by three votes.
Only once did Lee relinquish the spotlight to a fellow performer. It was no fault of his. Mary Alice Pennington, nee MAK, took the strong character role of Harriet Stanley, the hatchet-wielding aunt, and repeated what she’s don» so often before—stole the acting honors from the principals. Vj ith a jar of greasepaint and a hank of white hair, Mary Alice turned in a portrayal that will be remembered.
Disappointing was Jing Troet-schel a4 Maggie, Whiteside’s sharp-tongued secretary. She was
unable to cope with the sharp repartee her role called for nor could she match Lee Symansky s ability. Her delivery of lines carried little of the warmth and fire they required. Jean did, however, carry out the romantic part of her role well.
In sharp contrast with the portrayal of Lorraine Sheldon. Elaine Planick played her part with the right amount of sophistication and noise. She played the difficult scene where she learns she’s been tricked by Maggie with beautiful restraint.
Owen’s Job Good
Credit Dick Owen with a good job as Beverly Carlton. His English accent was beautifully overdone; he made his part as hammy as it should have been. He did not, howevef, have to flap his wings all over the stage. He received and deserved great applause as he flew off the stage.
In the quiet, modest role of Burt Jefferson, Bill O’Connor was well cast. In the third act where (Continued on Page 6)
