We throw a suggestion to the Interfraternity
Council as a constructive criticism, not with a
tongue in our cheek. We know that the formulat
ing of a dating code is the hardest task placed
before any student government body. We admit
that the entire student body be satisfied with
ony fOrmulated code.
But, we Call upon the Interfraternity Council
to be frank with its fraternities, to admit a mis
take in policY, and to rectify tha_t•rnistake by re
vising the present dating code: This can be the
only answer to hundreds of irate fraternity men
who feel as if a blind were pulled over Interim
ternity Council: meetings. • '

In its wake, the IFC began to revise its mixed

runner of . the All-Cabinet's action, and had been
proven as a fair, just, and comprehensible code.
However, the IFC went out of its field of jur
:'tsdiction when it made up its present statute. The
Senate Committee on Student Welfare is the all
powerful "conscience" of the student body. It
controls, regulates, and sanctions student be
havior and action.
The Senate committee has complete control of
TEC conduct and behavior. But, in the interest
of student self-government; it allotted the priv
ilege of governing interfraternity behavior 'to
the IFC. It retained one privilege. This was
the subject of chaperoned College functions. "Un
der the direct approval of either Dean Ray or
Dean Warnock's offices chaperons are in charge
of the College or fraternity functions t and IFC or
All-College Cabinet jurisdiction does not operate.
The IFC did not recognize this ruling in formu
lating its code. ThuS. it included chaperoned
parties and violations Occurring during these par
ties as part of the IFC jurisdiction, instead of the
rightful original jurisdiction falling upon the
Senate ComMittee of Student Welfare.
When chaperons are present at a fraternity
:function, the Power of dealing with violations
:Calls into the hands of the Senate committee, and
the burden of blame is put, not upon the IFC, but
01)011 the individual trouble-maker, or individual
,fraternity, as the committee sees fit.
What then is.the next step for the IFC? To us.
it seems clear. The IFC. in its dating code,

only with cases involving mixed drinking with
'unchaperoned dates awl unchaperoned coeds. It.
was the intention and purpose of the Senate Com
mittee on Student Welfare to act as the judicial
body in all cases affecting chaperoned. College
The revision of the IFC dating code, then, is
leave chaperoning rights to the Senate commit
'tee and those whica belong to the IFC to the IFC
dating code.

By EDWARD STEIDLE
Dean of the Schobt.of Mineral Industries
The official representative of • the CoMmOn
wealth of Pennsylvania is the executive head of
the School of IVlirieral InthiStries, a unit of The
Pennsylvania State College, an institution of - the
Commonwealth "iestablished under the provisions
of the Land Grant Act and accepted by the state
in 1863. The school 'offers - instruction in all sub
jects related to the production and proeeSsing of
minerals. In addition . to resident instruction an
extensive program of research is constantly ex
panding- and improving the utilization of the
mineral resources of the Commonwealth. Ex
tension instruction by which technical training is
carried to thousands of employees of the mineral
industries of the state while on the job is suc
cessful in increasing the productive capacity and
earning power of many workers. ThiS is the
only school in the United States in which all of
these functions are combined under one admin
istration.
Pennsylvania A Leader
Pennsylvania, a state with 45,000 square miles
and 10 millions of people, is the leading mineral
producer and processor of the United States., This
position has been established and maintained
from a very early dale in the development of
the country. As a result Pennsylvania has al
ways been the great pioneer in mineral tech
nology. Many methods and processes related to
the production .and processing of minerals were
invented -and carried to successful completion fOr
_the .first_time in hittory in Penntylvalnia. This
pioneer Position is particularly conspicuous' With
regard to coati petieleum, iron, and . ifs' Many al
loys. The growth of the School of Mineral hi
thistrieS hat paralleled this industrial develop
ment. Gracitiaies now fill important technical
• and executive positions in the -state's lnineral in
dustries. • -
The Value of the raw mineral production for
a single year has exceeded- one billion •dhllars in
a number of years: P'reSeire value iS . abbizf eci
per cent of this figure. At least a, thirctof the
residenta of the state are.. directly. dependent upon
the mineral industries of the state. Many of the
remaining two-thirds are indirectly dePerident.
As a result the maintenance of the mineral in
dustries in a prosperous condition is of funda
mental impoctanCe to an exceptionally high per
centage of the population.
Conservation More Urgent
The production of minerals in Pennsylvania
has a history extending over 200 years.• The in
evitable result is that Pennsylvania has exhaust
ed much of the highest grade and most easily re
covered material. Social and economic problems
related to depletion and conservation - are there
fore of growing importance. Conservation should
be considered as intelligent utilization rather than
miserly hoarding. We are going to use our min
eral resources but we should use them in the
most efficient manner possible and with a mea
sure of regard for the coming generations. Ex
perience has shoWn that conservation is served
best by the constant develoPMent of new pro
cesses in the research laboratory whereby lower
grade materials May be employed. The mineral
industries of Pennsylvania are in an advanced
state of Maturity. The development and appli
cation of new technologies in the future is there
fore sure to be more and more important.
The complexity of our mineral industries is
such that raw materials from many sources scat
tered over the globe are necessary for their main
tenance. We are far from self-sufficient. The
steel mills of eastern Pennsylvania depend upon
the iron ores of Chile. We particularly need the
manganese, tin, aluminum, mercury, chromium,
tungsten, vanadium, and industrial diamonds
which our southern neighbors can supply. Pres
ent trends now in evid , .nce indicate that This is a
condition which will increase in the future. We
therefore have a very definite and even a selfish
interest in Hemisphere solidarity. We must co
operate in the distribution of minerals, raw ma
terials, and processed goods for the benefit of all.
As an indication of 11:e trend of thought with
regard to the importance of the mineral indus
tries in modern industry, it is of great interest
that the section on education recommended that
instruction in mineralogy and geology be in
cluded in the field of s.. , continry education.
