Bevis (Honorary) Ross (Honorary) Adams Fox Marino Moore Slaymaker Spence Studenic Eee an age-old tradition at Ohio State, 15 under- graduate men and two honorary faculty members were splashed via the bucket and dipper for the opening ceremonies of the Junior men’s honorary, Bucket and Dipper. New mem- bers are selected on the basis of scholarship, character and leadership-service abilities. They are informed of their selection in midnight ceremonies. The following day they carry a bucket and dipper as a symbol of their election. Initiation is climaxed by a comic strip character show which is held on the steps of Page Hall, and a formal initiation banquet which is held after the series of dunkings in Mirror Lake. Final ceremonies are given in the Hollow. On November 18, the men of Bucket and Dipper traveled to see the Illinois game at Champaign. In colorful half-time ceremonies they met with the men of Sachem, Illini Junior honorary, and smoked the age-old peace-pipe. After the smok- ing ceremonies, the Illini men presented the famed Illibuck for Ohio’s 1949 victory over Hlinois. Officers for the year were Jack Taylor, president; Jim Stu- denic, vice president; John Adams, secretary; and Bill Reiden- bach, treasurer. As the meetings were held at various fraternity homes, the members of the cabinet did most of the formal busi- ness for the group. A farewell to the old Ohio Union was held in late Spring, and members presented a Candlelight Inn floor- show.
