beverages on College property."
It also carried official disap
proval of student drinking and all
drinking parties.
The administration action in
circulating the letter was one of
several taken in the past few
days by partieS concerned with
the liquor question. On Thursday
night, the social problem com
mittee of the Interfraternity
council denounced the ruling on
bars.
Complaints Noted
Explaining this ruling, the let
ter, which was sent to all frater
nity presidents in June, said that
complaints had been received
from law enforcement officers
concerning fraternity drinking.
It said, "The presence of bars is
prima facie evidence of practices
that violate laws relating to the
sale or gift or liquor to minors
and contributing to the delin
quency of minors."
Other reasons for the ruling,
the letter said, were the grow
ing number of younger,. non-vet
eran students on campus, the in
creasing use of alcohol at mixed
social functions in violation of
IFC, WSGA, and College regula
tions, and 'the public opinion
aroused, by "incidents" at other
schools.
Drinking Story
Was Off Record,
Leinbach Charges
IFC President Harold Leinbach
last night charged Collegian with
"breach of faith" in reporting the
fraternity workshops in yester
day's paper. His statement said:
"Speaking for the chairman of
the fraternity workshop program,
Harry Kondourajian, and myself,
as president of IFC, we consider
the Collegian headline of Friday
as being the result of a breach of
faith on the part of the reporter
wh o was asked by the forum
chairman, the workshop chair
man, and myself to consider the
topic under discussion as off the
record, since the social chairmen's
meeting was merely a discussion
period, as are all the workshop
forums. The conclusions arrived
at by the discussion groups will
be presented at the summary ses
sion Saturday afternoon. There
fore, any of the ideas discussed at
the forums are merely discussion
topics and not to be considered
as IF C • policy as was inferred'
from the Collegian headline, until
formally presented andl accepted
in their complete form."
The reporter who covered the
forum maintained that, to the best
of his recollection he did not re
port anything he was told was aff
the record.
Final Workshop
Session Set Today
A summary session of the fra
ternity workshop will be held
this afternoon from 3 to 5 o'clock
in 201 Old Main.
Committee meetings were held
last night, but Collegian report
ers were' barred following the
publication of the social com
mittee's denunciation Thursday
night of the administration ruling
against fraternity bars.
