Laws forbidding inixed drinking have already been drawn up by student government, and new restrictions and regulations may supplement this drinking ban in the future. 'But mixed drinking will continue, because it is a personal measure and cannot be successfully limited or entirely restricted by any legislative body. This fact was clearly shown on pational scale when the 18th amendment, was first j)assed and then.had to be repealed by the same American electorate. . But mixed drinking can . be limited to a certain extent. In fact; during the past two years at -Penn State there has been a marked decrease in drinking, especially in fraternity houses. The •reason for this decline Is obvious. Penn State ..students have not become more idealistic; they 4iave only become more conscious of the mixed drinking restriction that has been instituted by 4 - 4udent government. By punishing several fra ternities, Interfraternity Council has caused other -I) , )uses to fall in line, and to regard the mixed drinking ban with cautious glances. • Fraternities now realize that they are being watched, and that violators are being punished. 3Viaybe the mixed drinking law has begun to liow some teeth after all. • To some, it has appeared unfair to pick out ;•:overal violators and punish them for breaking a law that was broken by practically every fra ternity at Penn State. Yet, the fraternities, in question were reported because they 'were flagrant cases; and, in addition, the punishment was slight in comparison to what it will be if violations are xepeated or contnued in the future. • IFC does not intend to stamp out mixed drink ing, for that is practically impossible. However, WC does intend to limit drinking and to punish ,flagrant violators. Dream One hundred and twenty-one years ago this week an Englishman was born who dreamed a dream and lived to see it come true. In 1844, George 'Williams and 11 of his com y•ades organized the Young Men's Christian Asso ciation to meet the needs of young men in Lon don, who were living away from home. (Rapidly the movement grew until it (served in North America and soon the entire world. Small communities, rural•settlennents, and metro :bolitan districts all telt its benefits. • As the organization grew in size; it also grew in i;cope. Branching from its original purpose of caring for men away from home, the YMCA be came one of the first organizations to do welfare with soldiers and sailors. Williams' dream was also responsible for the csstablishment of the Eli-Y, only Christian move :fficlnt for high school students. President Roosevelt, commending its fine work wrote to the YMCA General Secretary, stating: "In a day of fire arid strain, the YMCA serves the men in uniform and in the production line. :tty unselfish merger in the USO, the YMCA brings -aid to camp communities.

The Sparks Building shelter, however, soon filled to capacity, he added, with the result that students crowded out into the doorways and steps.
