Wolf At The Door
.A successful government, is based upon the
will to be governed!
This little axiom has thrown itself into the
I;k2..th of the Interfraternity Council and has placed
4;his Council in one of the most precarious. posi
aons that it:has witnessed in years.
. We charge that the Couricit revised its mixed
drinking code and marie it airtight, sound, and
: , :..4asonable, with one exception. And that ex
•ception has caused the reputation and sagacity Of
•Lhe Council - to he put at stake. This exception
has reflected little, if any, student approval, and
ilas instigated the greatest interfraternity furor
chat has hit the campus.
The code states that there shall be no mixed
drinking .in fraternities, chaperoned or itnehaP
evoned. The Council claims that it redeiVed
:?_aitiative from the All-College Cabinet legiSla
ton prohibiting UnchaperOned mired drinking.
But, in ''Copying the Cabinet laws; it inside its the
big iniStake. Prehibited ehaper6n*d iniked
clanking.
We belieVe in hinnan frailties and hurnan faultS.
We belieVe that, finder any circtirnitenees,
will drink, openly or in tfraternitY Cellars;
take the pious attitude that iniked drinking
izan be absolutely forbidden and Obeyed IS aSiditi
bog that a Mother; can make her child keep his
hands Out Of tife Cookie jar. •
The All-College Cabinet understood this. It
took action to stop drinking sm.:l-OW . oft
towns and roadhotiSes and locate it here under
adequate chaperons. The administration did not
voice its opinion in agreement or dislgreethent
with this legislation. We maintain that unchap
eroned mixed drinking became a minimum prac
'ace because of this legislation
However, the All-College Cabinet thought that
it thExie• it clear that mixed drinking could never
Ihe. stopped, but limitations, sane and justifiable,
could be imposed. Tie reaction of students to
rcttis legislation seethed favorable.
Then, the Interfratern ity Council threw a mon
key wrench into the Machinery. It prohibited
chaperoned drinking and immediately interfra
liernity fireworks began to sparkle. Where fra
'lernities had even enforced a ban against chap
eroned mixed drinking, they now openly defied
fite measure a week after the dating code had been
thlopted.
• It is agreed that a respectable cocktail lounge
lobated in Stare College would eliminate many
b»ixed drinking Cases. That cannot be dOne be
cause of a state legislature rule stating that liquor
cannot be sold within a two-mile radius of- the
campus. The All-College ruling prohibiting un
chaperoned mixed drinking drove many couples
who formerly went out of town to fraternity so
life and eliminated the source of many un
rl!.ivorable out of town tales of Penn State students.
But what will the new iFr code do? It will
either drive the students back to clandestine back
';z3d drinking. Bellefonte drinking bouts, or secret
iolzvtions which reached their height during Sen
io.• Ball weekend.
Now, the IFC is facod with violations turned
!;Jito its group, and it is afraid to announce or
11,;indle them. Why? It knows that it does not
ve the full-voiced confidence of the fraternities,
vd if a poll were taken of Penn State fraterni
11,es, ninety per cent of all the fraternities would
ir , peal the present legiFlature and call for s a new
:tl:ting code.
We challenge such a poll! What is snore, we
tf.,recast that if such a poll is not taken, the IFC
'will be treading more dangerous ground than a
I..unb iollowed by a wolf pack We say that it k
11 , -Lter to retrace an e , ror than commit another.
»..)t, the wolf will soon be the do‘lr.

Comes The Dawn
All in all, Senior Ball was a crowded, sardinic
success. Th:.. 1942er's li.:•t fling was characterized
by the usual palpitation, syncopation, importa
tier', and indignation.' H G. Hall came back from
Michigan to gladden the heart of Pete Autan, and
Audrey Schoemmel retOrned to Attend the theta
formal with Pat Young. Other potatoes back for
the drag were Eleanor Benfer, Les Lewis, and
Robert. Moritz.
. . .
Lillian elark, who droi)p'ed out of school at the
end of the first semest&r, came back with a bang
to permadehtly shelve Becky Rtipp (so Fourth
Floor Ath has it .. . )
Li!mts 11..1311
Amohgst the Aluinni wha rolled in for the
brawl were Rusty Swift, all dresSed up in his
sailor suit, and Jack Heck, ex-fistic moneyger.
Only objections heard concerning the affair
were that the programs ran out all too soon and
that unless you were NN , it hin 50 feet of the band
stand, Mr. Miller just couldn't be heard. Oh yes,
and for a nominal fee we will give to IFC the
names of 2,000 violalors of the mixed drinking
code—all neatly inscribed on a grain of ride.
Apology
Looks like Campy was off the beam again last
week but that's what happens when our oper-
atives don't check up on each and every gossibit
chat is drOpped in our Vox. For iVIr. St. Clair
and Miss erkebile were most certainly together
it Sr. flail if these old eyes didn't deceive us.

NCAA Tourney
(Continued from Awe One)
old mark of ten iri a row which
was established in 1925. The cur
rent season record of :16 triumphs
out of 18 enadunters surpassed
the old mark of . 15 successes last .
year.
Coupled with the . announce
ment of the NCAA bid, it was
also revealed that Penn State had
received a "feeler" to participate
in the National Intercollegiate
Invitation Basketball Tourna.:
ment at Madison Square Garden
in New York City. Since both.
tourneys are scheduled for the
same weekend, the Lions decided
to accept the more definite
.bidi
after realizing that the New York
inviation was still pending.
Coaches of three Lion opponents
during the past season are on the
committee that determines the
District 2 representative. They
are Lewis P. Andreas- of Syra
cuse, Dr. H. C. Carlson of Pitt,
and Howard G. Cann of New
York U. Other District 2 teams that
were considered for the bid were
NYU, Wegt Virginia, CCNY,
Johns of New York, and St. Jos
ephs of Philadelphia.
Pitt carried the torch in last
year's NCAA tourney, going to
the Eastern Regional finals be
fore bowing to Wisconsin, who
went on to win the national crown
by defeating Washington State
in the East-West finals.
In 1940, Duquesne was the Dis
trict 2 hope. The flon Dukes also
advanced to the Eastern finals
before fallirig, before Indiana
University, who likewise, went
on to cop the national title by
overcoming Kansas in the East-
West finals.
