While recommending action by the senate committee, however, the board asked that the penalty be something less than expulsion or suspension. Other action taken by the board was recommending the placing of a second semester resident of Ir vin Hall on office probation for the remainder of the semester for drinking in his dormitory. Charges against the two in the first case, residents of Hamilton Hall, included keeping beer in their rooln, drinking beer and li quor in their room on the night of the offense. February 20, keep ing a revolver in their room, and handling it during the course of the evening of the party. John Ball, head of the AIM board, said he felt in this case the board's penalties of board or office probation were not severe enough. He stressed the danger involved in handling firearms saying, "It's not what happened, but what could have happened." In recommending office proba tion for the Irvin Hall student, Ball explained the penalty meant the offender's name would - be on record in the Dean of Men's office but nothing would go on his perm anent records. If, however, he makes another mistake, Ball said, he would have to go before the Senate committee on student af fairs with the possibility that both offenses would be put on his rec ord.

Under the new policy chaperons will be present at all fraternity dating functions except in houses with "dry" status. Fraternities who petition for and are granted "dry" classifi cation will be permitted to have women guests in the houses un chaperoned from 5 to 8 p.m. Mon day through Friday and from noon to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sun day. Freshman regulations of Worn en's Student Government Associ ation state that permissions and regulations concerning dating in fraternity houses are set up by IFC and the Senate committee on student affairs. "These regulations and per missions," the WSGA regulations booklet states, "will be announced at the beginning of each semester and subsequent changes in said regulations will be announced as occasion demands." According to Kenworthy, future Senate committee dating regula tions will apply to all women stu dents rather than deal specifically with freshmen.
