Lynette Mason was unanimously elected interim chair of the University Student Advisory Board at last nights meeting.

Mason, president of the Organization for Town Independent Students, will assume duties from current chair Becky Friese until a permanent chair is elected at the USAB summer retreat. The retreat is tentatively set for July 16-18.

Friese said she will be unable to be in the State College area this summer, and that a USAB chair must be available to facilitate communication.
