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.

The Shirt Of His Back
The women have already contributed their ut
most to national defense in sacrificing the tradi
tional May Queen title for the more modest one
of. 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"

• 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?'
