Bet Tuesday, October 13, 1942 A Drop In The Bucket 'Yesterday Interfraternity Council's Faculty Judiciary Committee released the statement that two fraternities had been placed on probation for violation of the mixed drinking partof the coun oil's dating code. Two ;houses are being punish ed, being made a horrible example by merely be jog placed on probation where they will be watched. That 'makes four houses :which have • b.aea penalized in the two-year history of the Code. Two houses from among 47 were picked to be *mid up as models of what the good fraternity rhoUldn't be. Many of the fraternities here are ~certainly not good as far as conduct is concerned. • Now many more than the three houses reported •• had parties where men and coeds drank together over IF weekend? A little observation would ~ ..bave assured anyone that the number of them comes within ten of the total number of houses, if not nearer. 11 - qw could Interfraternity Council or its Ju diciary Committee tell that two houses out of 47 bad mixed drinking parties over that weekend? Row does it know that one which was reported, •but against which no one would testify, was not a bad an offender as the two which had to suf fer. the penalty? And, after all, what does a period .of probation tunount to? It includes Senior Ball weekend, of course. Two houses wil ithen be the scene of no rn ixed drinking. Two houses, but they show that Council is still cutting down the mixed drinking ractice. The best of luck to them, but at the rate they have set now, it will take approximately 23 big weekends to complete the job. —R. E. K. Men Without Vote `'lt's never been done before," the Election's Committee chairman said, and then told the foot ball players they couldn't vote a half hour early, even though they were leaving at 8:30 a:m. Fri day to represent the College at Lehigh. •That decision was important because it was the first time on record a Penn State team made such a request to elections authorities; it set a preced ent that will automatically disfranchise any Penn Rate group—athletic, forensic, or otherwise—that happens to be away representing the College dur ir•ig •an election period. It was a well-timed decision, however, because it Came in an election when the votes lost could )iot have• meant the difference between victory add defeat for any candidate. It came in time to 1)e changed before an out-of-town engagement of :;nine Penn State organization is the deciding fac t.ir in a close election. • There is a double-barreled case for . "early vot ;lig." It would provide a normal voice in the Col :l(ge.'s government to students who are in the pro- C a:3S of doing something special in the interests of College. ft would also be helping our student system con fsirm even more closely to its model in the state aid national government, for the idea is the same that permits draftees to mail their ballots from Army camps and okays the long-distance voting of. our diplomatic agents abroad. The specific action we suggest is merely an•ad dition..to Article II of the official Elections Code, stiting, in effect: "Any student otherwise eligible, who is repre ting the College away from campus for the duration of the election, shall be permitted to register his vote with the Elections Committee be foie leaving."

IA/bather has affected our sense of humor, but we can't help being amused over the shots still being fired after the rushing battle is over. If the stories of dirty rushing tac tics were only half true, we'd sug gest that women replace men in battle. Beneath our amusement is a serious thought. *by 4.4141 .the houseS who persist in griping re port the supposed offenders to Panhellenic ' Council last week when something Might have. been done? 1:1•=21 Although some, mix-ups in fill ing out and tabulating preferential' ballots are inevitable, the nninber of rushees and houses who .failed ;to 'follow directions was -over whelmingly high. Members of the dean of women's staff spent hours contacting coeds whose ballots were incorrectly- marked; and pledge lists were received later than ever before. Partial explanation for the con fusion. is the 'large number of rushees. An additional reason might be that student leaders fail ed 10' give fresiMien and transfers the correct inforMatiOn—if it was given at all. • If the number of rushees is this large next season we suggest that Parihel Council'send its' delegates to dormitory hatfmeetings during final rush week With . samplebal- War Study (Cc!OrulT,sl from pie once) • subjects taken for credit.
