For other freshmen who might ask the same question, we repeat the advice we gave her: "Don't shun any house. In every one you will find some men you might like to date and , men you would not like to go with. You can't rate a house by one man in it, and neither can you rate a man by one of his brothers. "There are houses in which you will find the men more congenial with their dates and with their brothers, but this is true in other groups. There are also houses which socialize more than others. but this can happen in any group, too. "So, don't put a dating ban on any fraternity because of a date which turned out to be a flop, and don't shun a man beCause one of his brothers wasn't smooth. "While many people may try to classify fraternities as poor, good, or excellent date possibilities, no one has ever succeeded in making any classification which puts any house on a dating black list. "So ignore the person who may advise you not to date in a par ticular house. Let her pick her dates, but you choose yours."

"It is to be hoped that women students who have met the age re quirement and have registered will go home to vote," Dean Ray said yesterday in a statement to The Daily Collegian. However', they will recall that mid-semester blue- DEAN CHAROTTE E. RAY books will begin to appear that week and that any absence excuses must meet the approval of all in structors concerned. "At the same time," she con tinued, "let us observe • the usual caution in planning out-of-town trips—namely the need of being entirely certain about expense and about the possibility of returning within dormitory hours. "If ,you never wore a "Votes for Women" button, never signed a petition to your representative to endorse woman suffrage, never waited anxiously for the 36th state to endorse the Nineteenth Amend ment in August, - 1920, and never rushed to the polls to cast your first vote in November of that year, you may wonder why all this fuss about voting.

Morse, assistant to the president, stated, "As a college fav oring students taking part in na tional affairs, we should be willing to permit students to go home to vote. This is not too big a price for an important election." • That students are preparing to take their places in society and should feel the responsibility to go home to vote was the opinion voiced by M. R. Trabfie, dean of the School of Education. 'However, he feels that students should not consider this as an excuse from preparation of that day's assign ment. "Students of voting age should be permitted to perform their duty of voting and their ambition to carry out their obligations as citi zens should be recognized," de clared Charles C.
