Reporters' Names To Be
Held In Strict Confidence
"Any individual on the campus
may and should report violations
of the Interfraternity Council dat
ing code to me," said H. Edward
Wagner '4l, president of IFC at its
meeting last night. "All names of
reporters will be held in strict
confidence.
"The obligation of each fratern
ity does not end with the mere
posting of the 20 copies of the new
dating code which are to be dis
tributed soon to the houses," he
stated. "But it is the duty of every
student to report violations of both
the letter and the spirit of this
code."
Prof. Sheldon C. Tanner, IFC
adviser, added that a fraternity is
guided to a great extent in its
conduct by the example which the
chapter president sets.
The penalties for all violations
of the code will be decided on by
a faculty committee of three head
ed by Professor Tanner. The
greatest penalty that may be ap
plied is a semester's 'withdrawal
of social privileges. It was pointed
out by Wagner that although the
college has the authority to with
draw the charter of a fraternity
for immoral practices, .they leave
this responsibility of dating en
forcement entirely up to the fra
ternities.
"This is all the more reason," he
said, "that we should do our ut
most to enforce the code."
It was announced by Tanner
that a revised IFC constitution
would be presented for the coun
cil's decision at its next meeting.
In it will be a clause to incorporate
two new bodies subordinate to
IFC, namely ,a treasurer's council
and a caterer's council.
The following' motion was pass
ed: "The publication 'Fraternity
News' is not the official organ of
IFC."
H. Ridge Riley, of the public in
formation department, was pre
sented with a traveling bag as a
token of appreciation for his help
in putting out the fraternity book
let for freshmen this summer.
