They make no claim to reflect student or University PAGE TIM Necessary Rules Communications from the office of the dean of men have informed us of two rulings which will be enforced for the remainder of the 1949 Summer Session: the forbidding of unchaperoned dating in fraternity houses and the exclusion from women's dormitories of improperly dressed escorts. THE FIRST of the above-mentioned actions is explained by Assistant Dean of Men Daniel De- Marino as being a cautiously preventive, rather than a purely restrictive or punitive, measure. The absence of a summer governing body for Penn State fraternities makes some kind of admin istrative guiding hand a necessity. According to the dictum, "unchaperoned girl guests may not be entertained on the fraternity premises at any time, nor will mixed drinking be permitted when women guests are present." However, "chaperoned social parties may be held in the houses when notice is given a week in advance to the dean of women's office." THE FAULTS of the no-dating rule are obvious. First, there is the feeling of subjection which the fraternity man is bound to feel; second, there is the possibility that the men and women affected will seek recreation in ways upon which the deans would frown even more, and justly. The only alternative is the formation of a stu dent control agency to take the place of IFC dur ing the summer, something which the dean of men's office calls impossible because of the short term involved and the absence of appointed leaders. Thus, the ruling is a necessary one, lamentable only in that it prohibits the many who would not think of violating established social decorum, to prevent possible infractions by less-thinking students. THE SECOND ruling deserves little more than random comment. It was established, primarily, to avoid embarrassment to all concerned. Sec ondly, it is in line with the educational policy of the College, which includes training and develop ing the social sense of the individual. Such laws have been established by universal consent, and a person evidently ignorant of them deserves to be taught with what may appear to be strict and old fashioned methods. Poet's Corner Now here is the tale And please do not fail To read— It's an Economic Recession And not a Depression, Please heed. The Bulls—not so mellow— Are starting to bellow, I hear. The Bears are contrary, They are really quite wary, I fear. No matter the reason For this "recessional" season Please note— Just stay hale and hearty Or the Communist Party Will gloat. It took Death and Taxes To bust up the Axis You know. So to beat this Recession Just tell this Depression To blow. Our "friend" Old Joe Stalin Will soon start to bawlin' I'll bet. If we all pull together And no matter which weather Don't fret. THIRSTY GUYS IT'S NEVER TOO LATE FIND IT WISE . . . .
