Advice On Dating
Fraternity Men
THE OTHER DAY a freshman
woman asked us what men's fra
ternities it is preferable to date in
and the names of houses to avoid.
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."

Women Voters
Will Gel Excuses
Urging all coeds of voting age.
to cast their ballots November 5,
Miss, Charlotte E. Ray, dean of
women, announced that class ex
cuses to return home to vote will
be issued through the dean of wo
men's office 'provided the excuse
meets with the approval of in
structors concerned.
"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-

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.

becomes more precious. In the

Adrian 0. 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

clared Charles C. Wagner, assist

Liberal Arts. "Acceptance of ex
cuses should rest with instructors

make up work they miss."
