On Dating Code
The Senate committee on student affairs is expected to consider
and take action on the suggested changes in the new fraternity social
code this morning, Wilmer E. Kenworthy, director of student affairs,
has announced.
The suggested changes concern the hours for dating and the use
and qualifications for chaperons as stipulated in the, new code.
Thomas Schott, Interfraternity
Council president, submitted the
suggestions to the committee
March 24. The suggestions were
not considered at that time, but
were discussed by the committee
last Wednesday.
Neither Kenworthy nor Schott
has said specifically what the
suggested changes are. However,
Schott said fraternity presidents
would have an approximate idea
as to what the suggestions were
because they are similar to those
discussed by them when they met
March 10
At that time Schott was asked
to represent them at a meeting
with President Milton S. Eisen
hower to discuss the drinking and
dating code which goes into ef
feet Sept. 1, 1954.
Schott was asked to present to
President Eisenhower a request
for longer h ours when women
could be iu fraternities on Sun
day and a request for more len
ient choice of chaperons.
Schott met with President Eis
enhower and Kenw6rthy three
times. The suggestions submitted
to the committee are those dis
cussed when they met.
Niftany Council
Defers Merger
Nittany Council will take no
further action on the proposed
plan to merge the Nittany and
Pollock Councils until Pollock
Council reaches a decision con
cerning the plan.
The plan was introduced to
Nittany Council Feb. 22, but Pol
lock Council has not as yet acted
on the plan.
A second plan, independent of
the council merger proposal,
would combine the two areas'
social committees. This plan has
been approved by the Nittany
Council. If this proposal meets
Pollock Council's approval, the
two social committees will merge
and work together on such ac
tivities as the Spring Week booth
and float, Curtin Schafer, council
social committee chairman, said.
- Schafer announced that ar
rangements have been completed
for an exchange dinner between
residents of Nittany and coeds
from Thompson Hall and the
Woman's Building. The dinner is
scheduled for Sunday. A mixer
will be held at the Temporary
Union Building after the dinner.
