PAGE TWO No Dating Code Attention is directed to the large amount and variety of social and recreational facilities that will be available during Main Summer Session in a letter from the dean of men's office to operating fraternities. College administration officials who planned the extensive program are to be congratulated for their foresight and interest in student leisure ac tivities. One disturbing aspect, to fraternity men, their friends and dates, was the denial of unchaperoned dating privileges on the grounds that: 1. "The social program in campus facilities was deemed adequate. 2. "No IFC active organization would be pres ent for administration and enforcement of the code." The first point is certainly open for disagree ment. Who is capable of "deeming facilities ade quate" for the pleasure of others? Even studentk, who were not asked, would not be able to judge so categorically a matter of individual taste. The second point is perfectly true. However, if George Chapman, IFC president had been given a chance, a feasible and workable scheme might have been devised. When the decision on the code was made, the committee had not even tried to find out what, if any, IFC organization would exist dur ing the summer. When the committee convened. Chapman was not invited to attend, to present the case, answer questions and help solve the objections and dif ficulties. Although Dean Warnock later consented to call another meeting, the futility of doing so was quite obvious. Enforcement of the desired code seems to have bothered the committee. Maybe it never oc curred to them to wonder how a non-dating regula tion would be enforced, without student assistance. Not to mention the additional need for enforce ment. Cooperation is vitally needed - for satisfactory student-administration relations. It maybe pre judice, but observation of the new IP'C officers convinces us that they are a cooperative bunch. But they need a chance. COLLEGIAN GAZETTE Monday.

Perhaps the deals, the ballyhoo, the demonstra tions and Hollywoodsian parades didn't leave a dark brown taste in everyone's mouth, but the 'convention atmosphere seems to lack the dignity Americans should expect to be connected with the highest office in the land, *The Republicans 'had a plank, couched in typi cal cagey, political language, to the effect that presidential elections should be conducted in such a manner as to "more nearly express the desire of the voters." That plank hints (as it was probably intended to) at a solution to the presidential election prob lem, one that would be more modern and repre sentative than our outmoded convention and elec toral college system. If the GOP is sincere, and the Democrats should join them, immediate steps will be taken so that in 1952 the President will be elected by a majority popular vote, after a nomination in a popular pri mary. FROM THE EDITOR: This column belongs to you readers, and its purpose is what the head im plies, a place for you to blow off steam. There's no need for me to exiound on the well-recognized therapeutic value of such a safety valve in releas ing emotions harmlessly, and often with beneficial results. Sure you'll have gripes, probably about Col legian omissions and errors. Let's have em; that's the only way we can give you what you want. Maybe you won't like the way. something is ad. ministered around here. Tell us; maybe we are so used to it that we can't see how fouled up it really is. But I don't want to give the impression that This will be just a gripe box. Far from it. Chronic "againsters" withouf constructive suggestions will be discouraged. Rather consider it as a College wide public forum, where differing opinions are expressed and consensus is developed. Some persons, organizations or systems will go unsung though they merit the highest praise. O.K. Shout that out here, too. In short, it's your column folks. Keep it clean, be brief and sign your name and telephone num ber or address. We'll withhold your name if you wish, but for everyone's protection we'll check each letter for authenticity.
