Weather— Generally Fair, PRICE FIVE CENTS 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. 1111111111111111 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111110) Late News Bulletins 111111111111111111111111111 111111111111111111111111111111i1111111/111111 Athens The Greek army buckled at one point in Northwest.. ern Greece yesterday afternoon.
