Interfraternity Council finally passed the dat

eration the Council adOpted the new code Thurs
day night, and all that stands in its way of being
!vir law is approval by the Senate Committee on
student Welfare.

seconded the. idea. IFC then began working on
the mixed drinking question and the new code:

Quite a few groans were heard when the stipu 7

several short speeches' on the part of some of the
Council members showed the advisability of such
measure, and when the code came to a . vote - it
Massed without a dissenting word.
The committee with the "police" power was
quite conspicuous by its absence in "the revised
code. When Wilson first presented the draft' to
IFC in December there was a provision to have
the drinking matter enforced by; a secret com
nittee, whose identities would be known to the
ITC president only. 'This committee would de
cide whether a fraternity had actually committed
a violation of the code and would pass its decision
on to a faculty committee.
Undoubtedly someone did not like this provi
sion, because when the code was read Thursday
might, there was no ,such clause. In its place
there was a stipulation made for a committee of
five to judge the actions of the fraternities. This
group will consist of a chairman and three other
members appointed by the IFC head, and the
faculty advisor of the Council. The matter of
reporting violations to this committee was also
i!acilitated.
Perhaps this will show that IFC means busi
mess, and fraternities 'should be wary about drink
:ing with women in the house. It also should
show the Senate Committee on Student Welfare
that
that they can have no fears in approving the
Code ; and permit Interfraternity Council to pass

Powerful, Profess°,
Not to tell tales Out of school but one of the
younger journalism professors (that eliminates
Banner, Gardner, Hughes and Davis) strode ma
jestically to the window in Carnegie Hall class
room to give his devotees a breath of air. With
a quick flip of the latch he gave a firm push=
nothing happened. Then • summoning all his
might and main, he gave it a mighty heave. Thei j e
was a maddening tinkle of shattered pane and he
strode back 'to his place unbloody but bowed,
whereupon one of the brighter pupils unlocked
the latch and ever so gently raised the window
to its intended position.

1 Abstracted From 4 Equals 3
Speech professor Ralph Richardson relates the
following tale to his kiddies:
After carefully explaining to a bunch of high
school frosh that concrete means something you
can see, feel and touch and abstract means some
thing like love - and' emotion, he asked a pupil to
use it in a sentence. •
A naive lad rose to his feet and so'.emnly stated,
