The “accompanying resolution” -
referred to was the one that pro
voked the discussion at the last
IFC meeting.. The Council voted
to limit its jurisdiction to unchap
eroned affairs, and followed that
With a resolution that disapproved
all mixed drinking at any time.
Dr. Joseph P. Ritenour raised
the question of the right of a fra
ternity to entertain unchaperoned
guests at all, disregarding the
drinking problem.. Dean Char
lotte E. Ray explained to Dr. Rite
nour that this is not the most sat- -
is factory arrangement,, tout It had
to stand since at present there are
-no other suitable means to enter
tain dates. v
In discussing the recent con
troversy of the Council’s jurisdic
tion over chaperoned mixed drink
. ing, Prof. Marsh W. White criti
cized the stand taken by The Daily
Collegian.
. Dr. White said the newspaper .
. shouldn’t have asked IFC to
change its code so that it wouldn’t
control chaperoned affairs, since
this policy is .directly against a
policy of student government.
IFC should toe commended, he
said, for its brave step.'
The way the new code now
readfe, Prof. ; Mac Lean M. Babcock,
chairman of the committee, ex- :
plained, it is very similar to" the
old code. However, he added, IFC
now has a'policy regarding -chap
eroned mixed drinking.
The College has no rule regard
ing drinking,'A. R. Warnock stat
ed, hut implies that disorderly
conduct is not tolerated.
In' asking that the fraternities
help make the code successful,
Warnock said he “wouldn.’t trade
the honest cooperation on the
part of fraternities for 50 police
men patrolling the fraternities to
enforce the code.”
Thomas J. L. Henson ’42, IFC
president, sa'id the code would be
printed and distributed to all fra
ternity presidents as soon as an
appropriation is made.
Henson explained that IFC has
adopted a chaperon system that
would assist Dean Ray’s office in
approving chaperqpes.
Student Activities
Defined In Article II
Clarification of what constitutes
a student activity is included in
<the revised constitution to be vot
ed on next week. In Article 11,
Section 1, a student activity is de
fined as any activity whose mem
bers are students' and whose funds
aire derived all or in part from
student sources.
■ : The section continues that all
members of Cabinet shall repre-n
sept student activities and all
student activities shall have their
funds audited through the Asso
ciated Activities office. This rul
ing makes it definite that all stu
dent funds except those from such
sources as class dances shall be
audited through the Associated
Activities office.
It also determines that all stu
dent activities are to be under
the Associated f Activities office
rather than some there and some
under Interclass finance as has
• been the case before.
