IFC Dating Plan Should Be Passed The Senate committee on student affairs is scheduled to consider today Interfraternity Council's request that first semester women be allowed to date in fraternities with chap erons and that dating privileges be extended to second semester women under the IFC un chaperoned , dating code. IFC has presented valid reasons for its 're quest. The most valid that fraternities have improved tremendously since the ruling was put into effect back in the post-World War II days. But little recognition has been given frat ernities for their improvement. Instead they must continue to be on the defensive in almost everything they do. The ruling •is actually doing the fraternities a great deal of harm, for the ruling undoubtedly leads the public to believe there is something objectionable in fraternity social life. In addition, a poll taken among freshman women by the "junior women's hat society showed that many of the frosh are- not ad herring -to the rule. This, in itself, does not ' mean that the rule should therefore be done away with. But the poll does show that in most 'cases the women themselves feel there is no harm in visiting a fraternity house. IFC does not seem to be asking too much. Approval of the plan by the Senate committee would be an expression of confidence in the IFC—something which has been lacking in the past. Vacation Proposal The Council of Administration has turned down the All-College Cabinet proposal to add one-and-one-half days to the beginning of the Thanksgiving vacation and subtracting a like number from the end of the Christmas vaca tion. Although this will be a disappointment to many students, the council's decision had valid reasons behind it. Among these reasons are the fact that con ventions have been scheduled, exams and training films have been planned, speakers and field trips scheduled, and probably food for the dining units has been ordered. In addition, even cabinet 'realized in presenting the proposal that this should all have been brought up before this. It appears the only thing that can be done• is to suggest that the committee charged with setting up the school calendar study such situa tions more carefully after this. With a little foresight on the committee's part the whole matter need never have arisen. Just Meant For You Handy, Spiral Notebooks!

PENNSYLVANIA Safety Valve Editorial Hardly Appropos TO THE EDITOR: Mr. Donley's column and a half disseration on democracy in a recent issue of the Daily Collegian was a nice beginning for, a political science term paper, but hardly ap propos to the subject at' hand. His reference to the undemocratic action of AIM was based on the false supposition that an elected officer must know the desires of all his constituents and is bound to vote in the manner prescribed. It has been the policy at Penn State for an elected officer to sample opinion and to weigh this opinion in the light of his own judgment. Needless-to-say any other method would be too tedious to be practicable. IFC likewise voted in the same manner. Mr. Donley would have us believe that if five or six houses were in favor of the plan, .the plan should be tabled or approved. May I remind Mr. Donley that majority opinion decides in a democracy. What Dean Mctoy suggests is done either as a subtle means of deception or out of ignor ance as to the traditions and policies of Penn State. He must have realized by now that this is not the Big Ten. Here at Penn State the undergraduates, for the most part, support the athletic teams and are entitled to see the teams they support. Those who favor this plan would have us believe that these 300 seats would be for graduate students, townspeople, and others, whereas, in fact it is a strong possibility that the local chamber of commerce and local poli ticians want many of them for favors, not to reward— deserving groups but for their own Personal reasons. I need only mention the Penn game tickets as an example of favoritism. I am for keeping our seats and for keeping Penn State athletic contests of, by, and for the students. Gazette ...
