Last spring, the expansion coor dinator for Mortar Board, Marylu McEwen, toured the campus and evaluated the performance of Cap and Gown. McEwen said she was impressed with what she saw. ‘‘The Texas A&M Cap and Gown Society re flects the sort of campus organiza tion which we want in Mortar Board,” she said.

Other Texas schools affiliated with Mortar Board are: Baylor, TCU, North Texas State, SMU, Texas Tech, Trinity, TWU, the University of Houston and the Uni versity of Texas. “It’s important to be affiliated with the Mortar Board because our chapter can exchange ideas with other chapters, and that will help in the development of new programs,” Stehling said.
