Tindall Omicron Delta Kappa The purpose of Omicron Delta Kappa was to re- cognize men With a high standard of leadership in collegiate activities and to encourage them along this line, to bring the most representative men in all phases of college life together into an organization Where they can help to mould the sentiment of the institution on questions of local and intercollegiate interest, and to bring members of the faculty and student body together on a basis of mutual interest, understanding, and helpfulness. Membership in ODK was granted solely through collegiate circles on the basis of character, scholar- ship, leadership, and service in campus life, and con- secration to democratic ideals. A member had to be in the upper third of his class, and be outstanding in at least two of the five major fields: scholarship, social and religious, speech, music, dramatic arts, publications, and athletics. . At Homecoming ODK sponsored an information booth for the benefit of visitors, and welcomed the major athletic teams. At mid-year Omicron Delta Kappa held its an- nual tapping ceremony which Was its most outstand- ing event. Richard Hoffman served as this year's president with Ken Shoemaker as vice president, Dean Pierce as secretary, and Fred Ricketts as treasurer. if'i 1 if '

These groups all maintained a high standard in scholarship, leadership, and service to the campus. A student that had been elected to one of the three groups on campus, Cap and Gown, Gmircron Delta Kappa, or Book and Motor, could justly be proud of that honor. Being chosen to one of these leadership honoraries meant that a student had spent long and hard years working for the campus. But, above and beyond the feeling of accomplishment that rewarded these students, the University offered the added accolade of membership in one of these groups. Of the three, ODK, men's leadership honorary, was the only national group. Book and Motor and Cap and Gown were local groups, with hopes of petitioning to their national counterparts, Cap and Gown's membership was made up of the ten top senior women in campus leadership. A Book and Motor member had to maintain a 3.5 average and be of junior rank. By looking at the membership of these three groups, one could get a look at some of Bowling Green's most outstanding leaders. .r.:4.-....,..4..f.1.,:rg...-s 12,1-fb.-.:.-saga.:J-:L-4t...zs.1.:.a.2:.f,a.f-,wzgli Qi.g..ge.a..2421.5Gaza.:aa:e:Lif.5,,fg:LQ:L-4a:,iiL:s.a341iQ-iv.M,igimiaig-5is-5.22.2z-11ish.:I.L-:--k'-fa-2915453-1,.I.'gaf.,g,, 5,5 aqIf.Q.L,, ::..'. - T - , .

Si, i .ki 1 Cap and Gown was the highest honor that a Female Falcon can attain at Bowling Green State University. Membership for Cap and Gown was limited to the ten top senior women who stand high in scholarship, leadership, character, personality, and service to the campus. New members were tapped on Honors Day in the very early hours of the morning. They were tap- ped at theend of their junior year. New members were secret until after the early breakfast and initia- tion, and were presented at the Honors Day cere- monies. A Cap and Gown and Alpha Phi Omega took charge of ordering and distributing of the caps and gowns at graduation. With a fund from this project, the two organizations received enough money to pay the tuition of under-privileged children and have made it possible for them to attend the University Nurs- ing school. Cap and Gown was a local honorary society at Bowling Green, but had as its goal Mortar Board, national senior women's honorary based on scholar- ship, leadership, and service, This year Janice Schreiber served as Cap and Gown President.
