PAGE TWO .liLterald of a New Eia It was with sincere regret, a 'short time ago, that we heard of Prof. Burke "Dutch" Hermann's aecision to resign as advisor to the Inter-fraternity Council. In his years of service as IFC advisor. Pro fessor Hermann's record was exemplary: hence It was only natural that his resignation would be felt so deeply. lITC, in selecting a new advisor, was conscious (.)f the need of exercising care and deliberation in choosing Hermann's successor. Their choice—Dr. Kent Forster—was excellent. The Fraternities are to be congratulated. There are .few. men on this campus as ideal a choice as this promising young historian. While it is true that Forster lacks erperi ence in this particular field, his other assets - ll;iteridietciticin .ofih6..iiiiit4'i It is always encouraging to see the College re vising and changing student regulations.... : Regardless of the fact that the revisions Taay riot change student life greatly, action on the .part of the Senate Committee on Student_ Welfare shows that they are at least thinking about the welfare of the student body and that they are try ing, to do something about it. • But being young, critical and even cynical • (all faults •of tenderness of age) we wonder ' about the latest change in rule 95 in student - • regulations. Without getting into the age-old argument about whether there is "to be or not to be" any mixed drinking in our fair community we prefer to ask :ome other questions: (1) Under one interpretation of the ruling that we make, .it seems that there will be absolutely )7.0 drinking allowed at social affairs at all . . . we refer to the line that reads. "The College forbids the serving or use of alcoholic beverages at any :.;Ocial function in which minors or women students ate participating." . , - • We wonder, therefore, what prolusions have been made to increase the. Campus Patrol:or • Chief Juba's police force to handle an inarease in (a) _drinking in Bellefonte : and the 'subte- • ' quent Increase in -.automobile aceidents... (b) • drinking : ln parked cars, backyards and 'in apartments. , , _ (2) We are somewhat confused by another _sec tion of this same rule. If it is true that the Worrxen', Student Government Association has .gone•.,on. rec ord as "disapproving drinking by women students and reserving the right' to ,punish violators," ..then why are the fraternities' being'held'resPotisible for the conduct of women coeds? . ,:.Leffeii. , -.

Young. energetic and enthusiastic, Forster promises to stand out as a strong influence and force in helping fraternities during these trouble some post-war years. While he has gone on record as feeling that man is a product of the era , in which he.lives we feel that he is one of the newer additions to the Faculty of the College who will be re sponsible for creating a new era in the Nit EMEZEI3I We wish him luck and never-failing strength in the job before him—that, of building a strong IFC and of battling against the mountain of red-tape, inertia and apathy that, mark the end of a pass ink era, tlie,:winezvhave gone record . , . - . . atoprovizig,_Of drinking, was it necessary i jo stick ,;:in •viph.•ii clause? „Purely . : -the , .women wouldn't,tay that they're against drinking and then break it. . . ..And even admitting. that there might .be a feW violators, can't these transgresSors .be handled by the Dean -of Women's office without holding .an entire fraternity responsible for the conduct of one or two women? , Our cynicism is summed up in the 'pessimistic phrase, "it ain't agonna work. Speaking as a student (an independent one, in cidentally), we are not impressed by any fancy rules that are issued. , Our government discovered that all the "thou shall nots" in the world did not keep peoPle (who wanted to) from drinking during prohibition. We don't think that the amount of alcoholic beverages consumed by older students will de crease; in fact we look for an increase. We only pray, however, that no ugly scandals crop up as a result of this ruling "for a better Penn State." • (3) Perhaps rule 95- means. thato.fraternities may serve alcoholic beverages if they„are kept out of the 'hands of_minors.. and:coeds? .I#. so, why not tell- the students that this interpre tation is allowed?

Va. • • Mr. Ross Replies TO THE EDITOR: A means of answering an argu ment is the confusing of the issue. • Thai is what several people have tried.• I Rather than carry on an unending cycle, would like to clarify a few points so that even Zuccarini, Reid, Green and company will un- derstand them . Undoubtedly, you "satisfieds" have raised your standings in the coed registry, which should in turn increase your satisfaction. IV is quite probable that your main reason in answering was that social gain. And it is also probable that your train rea son for being at Penn State is for the "country club." You're wrong about my wasting time. In that respect, you are well-matched with those coeds whose company you are pleased with. But it happens that •those same coeds • are numerous enough to overshadow the other coeds, which was my original point. It would be fitting that you lovers and snow kings and beauties should form your own com munity called Penn-State-in-Hollywood. There you wouldn't be annoyed with classes, would have numerous unusual Corner Rooms, all men could grow-mustaches and, most important ; a different coed could be queen every day since each is worthy of that honor. When do they give out cushions for Corner Room window seats? Propaganda? TO THE EDITOR.: In answer to that bit of letter propaeanda published in the Collegian concerning the State Party: We already have a party that has put fraterni ties and independents on an equal basis. This party is not backed up by 'tone, two, or three groups and thus throwing more influence than their number deserves." The State Party cannot present us with. "party politics on a truly democratic basis for the first time" in Penn State's history , because we've already had it. In. fact, we have it now! • The present Student Government, which is corn posed of. the class officers and other, representa tives, is the most efficient one that Penn State has Byer: had. • • . • • ~ All .that the Nittany .Independent, Pdrty has to do to iget•our votes is to renew its policies of last semester. ....‘ • • -41v0 4 ~ . , ; 11 01 44 .4. •r 4 , '"r 4 - Regiliatiolis (Continued from page one) sent from a final examination On account of illness, illness at home, or other equally important rea son, may have his grade deferred upon authorization of the Dean of the school in which he is reg istered.
