Poll Will Disclose Frosh Dating Data We read with interest one freshman's views on the no-fraternity ruling for freshman women in Tuesday's Daily Collegian. We held particu lar interest throughout because we are a mem ber of the organization sponsoring the poll re ferred to. Let us look at the poll—considering just why it is being conducted. First, there has' been much dissen§ion on the no-fraternity ruling ever since mre have been on campus. Reasons include those presented by the freshman and those on the "other side of the fence." The main argument has been the drinking problem, which many of us seem to overlook. Unlike the freshman woman expressing her views in Tuesday's Daily Collegian, many women are not permitted to drink at home. What's more, the Commonwealth forbids the selling- of alcoholic beverages to persons un der 21, making it. even more necessary to abide, since Penn Stale is a state-endowed school. Dissension on the no-fraternity ruling has been justified to a great extent. The question arises. 'Where does one gor The freshman woman made the comparison between Hort Woods or fraternities—a relatively good com parison. But, does this mean that there can be no improvement? This leads to the second reason for the poll. Most talk in the past has been based on gen eralizations, mere 'assumptions. The organiza tion sponsoring the poll wants facts—cold facts, and the only way to obtain them is to ask every freshman woman whether she has been in a fraternity house and whether she has drunk intoxicating beverages while • there. What will we do with the results?—the third reason for the poll. We will have a set of fairly accurate statistics upon which to base any -ac tion to be taken. Many say, and we think the freshman woman implied it, that the present fraternity setup has no flaws. Granted,, the no-fraternity rule is a confus ing one to many persons—it was to us. But to say that the present system is perfectly desirable is a misconception. We have not con sulted every" fraternity on campus, nor have we consulted Interfraternity Council's record books. But, we do know that IFC checkers do good business now and then. One frat ernity suffered the ultimate consequence last year when it lost its charter for one year. This doesn't happen out of mere coincidence. There is room for much improvement. If we could remove the no-fraternity ruling and im prove the setup, drinking and otherwise, in many fraternities, we would indeed be making great strides. That's what the sponsors of this poll would like to see. The result of the poll will go into a recommendation to be presented to IFC—a recommendation advocating improved social affairs, and conditions.

Phone 4994 THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE,. PENNSYLVANIA on the questionnaires will also be included- in the recommendation. It is only fair to let freshmen as well as all other students have a place for social gather ings. The present ruling is by no means. effec tively enforced or accepted. It probably is "time for a change." But, in making that change we should not and cannot glibly look• at the gripe We are obligated 'to ourselves, the College. and the state to improve ourselves in two di side. • rest ways. If we can improve the environment in some of the fraternity houses (we are NOT saying all) and remove the often referred to "unfair no-fraternity" ruling, we will virtu ally conquer the problem from 'both the ad ministrative and student sides'. We think it can be done with combined efforts of inter ested groups. • • Safety Valve Fraternity Guarded Lion TO THE EDITOR: Apparently the Daily Col legian was misinformed when it printed that - pledges from Zeta Beta Tau• have served as guards of the Nittany Lion shrine for the past two years. As a former Pi Lambda Phi I clearly remember that' the first fraternity group to guard the Lion shrine were the pledges of Pi Lambda Phi, as was 'printed in the Daily Collegian of a few semesters back. Unfortunately we are not in the position to send our pledges to guard the Lion, as was done for past semesters. eLettef cut —A.B.G. Ed. Note: Sincere apologies are extended to the brothers of Pi Lam.
