Helen Dodd Graduate Counselor Thursday, March 5, 1942 Clearing Loose Ends Like the record that is worn thin, too much , controversy results in discordant arguments and •ohoddy excuses. The Daily Collegian was forced "ato the present IFC dating code controversy by flany fraternity houses which felt •that the code did not express their wishes. . What are their wishes? What is the attitude of the, fraternity men Who feel 'that they have been i'tnisled in the formulation of the dating code? The Daily Collegian has been accused of 'hedging :between sanction and disapproval of mixed drink 4rig, and this adds to 'the confuSion. This is our attitude! This is the attitude of many . fraternities which did not under Stand 'the 'implications of the IFC dating . code. ,We :feel that limitations should be,placed upon ;m.i.l4ed drinking. In fact, we feel that mixed , drinking is .evil which cannot be :stamped out Like•-a .serpent and ''ground into forgetfulness. Wherever there is a drinking. cup, there will 'be 4.ips to iinbibe. That is. as human as 'smoking to reibacdo'or other so-talled vices. We 'recognize 'that .IFC nas done a splendid 'job • in banning unchaPerOned : mixed 'drinking. .'The approving of unchaperoned mixed drinking would probably do away with many interfrater- A - Lity privileges. On the other hand, the taking of chaperoned jurisdiction and .control of fraternity dances from the hands of the Senate Committee on Student Welfare is a big mistake. Where a complete ban upon mixed drinking occurs, during chaperoned weekends, the responsibility of student conduct will deteriorate in the hands of a student corn ..Knittee. Either this committee will sanction un- dercover drinking parties or will prosecute every loonse on campus. If the committee says that it will decide the difference between a mild drinking party and an orgy, it lets itself open from all points on the qttestion of its judgment. FUrthermore, every case which would come before such a group, after a chaperoned weekend. would be questioned angrily by every fraternity involved as to the seriousness of the viola+ion. • We won't accuse any student committee of abusing its offices, but students will. We will 'forecast 'that this committee will be unable 'to 'handle or control cases which would arise 'from •;gate violation, such as Senior Ball weekend, or •of chaperoned weekends. To err is human, but, according to many stu dents, to drink' is divine. We qUestion that state ment, but many students don't. And as long as students are still students, and mistakes are still mistakes in the human calendar, we say that a ,strict law, even' with a conscientious incliciar3;, 'will heap violation upon violation at the feet of ''she righteous. Sic prohibition! Justification The Daily Collegian has been criticized for not !oublishing recent violations of students who have committed their first offense against the law in state College. We defend our policy. Because The Daily Collegian considers itself as more than a newspaper on campus, but a per +lonal organ to some extent, it feels that the stu- Jent guilty of a first offense should be given another chance before he is branded. No influ 'lace from townspeople or advertisers has been tile reason for this policy. A second offense will result in publication of ..:tt? offender's name. The first offense is We hooe that it is• not repeated.

Senior Queen. At least so insists the Women's Board of this astute shtnet. Now, the BMOC's, the sharpers, the smooth & F'ers will have their .day. For, the New . York Times tells us, these men will be able to recall to their• progeny the 'stories' of 'their noble 'self•ef facement in the -name of National Defense. • The War ProduCtion Board, announces:the story in yesterday's Times, has decreed that meh's jackets will no longer - reach the knees. A size 37 sack coat will sink but a mere 29 3 / 4 inches from those brawny .padded shoulders, with other sizes and variations in proportion. Gone, too, will be those smart pleated trousers. And only one pair with a suit. Tails, boys, are gone geese. And, oh, happy day, my single breasted tux will come back into style 'cause they aren't going to make the other kind, or any other double-breasted suits for that matter. You razor edged fellows will be right in line with the order banning vests, since that went out with the two button single-breasted coat. I can just imagine Bill Finn. Pat Young, Frank Perna, Bus Blakeslee, !Bill Long, or Bill Myers quoting to their grandemiaren, "What did I do in the Great War? Why, sonny, your Old grand dad was one of the 'first 'to lay aside his 36-inch drape model during 'the Battle of •Bataan. And you should have heard 'the crowd cheer when' I turned up at Junior Prom in t 42 with !nothing on but a single-breasted turd" Louis H.

But 'look out for the Secret Souse=Seekers!" • • IFC representatives will. be shot dead as Reven oo'ers as they enter the portals of another house, bent on uncovering the dastardly drinkers. No, the chaperons weren't , good.enough for Tom 'Henson. Dean - .Ray, who approves chaperons, might load the lists with habitual imbibers. So Gallant Tom appoints his own Gestapo to check up on 'the chaperons. What I want to know is: Who checks up on the IFC Gestapo?' THE DAILY COLLEGIAN One Man's Meat ALL OOKS . FOR' OUTSIDE 16 )1.
