Now
The Interfraternity Council dating code, which was amended last April to include new chaper
oned dating and drinking, is in effect this semester. The code went into effect Sept. 1.
The' new policy provides ,for revision of Senate Regulations W-4 and W-5 (prohibiting serving
pf alcoholic beverages at University functions), substitution of a chaperoned fraternity dating code
for the unchaperoned code previously in effect, and granting of special privileges to “dry” fraterni
ties and those employing housemothers. -J
The new drinking code-prohibits the use or possession of alcoholic beverages on University
property, and holds student organ
izations responsible for good con
duct and observance of the law
under all University-related off
campus situations. The rule also
holds the student organizations
responsible for the good conduct
of all persons at the University
related functions and for con
formance to the laws of the bor
ough, commonwealth and nation.
It’also stipulates that the social
activities of any group reported
to have violated either of the
rulings set forth may be suspend
ed immediately when information
regarded as-sufficient by the Sen
ate committee on student affairs is
referred to the appropriate stu
dent judicial body for study,

Tryouts for the first Thespian
production of the year, “Funny
Side Up,” will be held 7 p.m.
-Sunday and Monday in' 410 Old
Main, Frank Cressman, tryout
director, said yesterday.
Personnel needs include actors,
dancers, singers, and other types
of entertainers, Cressman said. In
addition, volunteers are needed
for crew work. Interested stu
dents may sign up in 410 Old
Main. •
Because first semester women
may not receive the required ex
tra late permissions, they will not
be eligible for Thespian work un
til next semester.
“Funny Bide Up,” written by
students Mike Rosenfeld, Philip
Wein, and Louis Fryman, will be
presented Oct. 14-16 in Schwab
Auditorium. The comedy deals
with college life.
The new code makes under
graduate officers of student or
ganizations primarily responsible
for the good conduct of members
and guests at all functions, both
on and off campus. Individuals
or organizations whose conduct
is found to be prejudicial to the
good name of the University will
be subject to disciplinary action,
the code states, and such action
may include the suspension or ex
pulsion of individuals or the sus
pension or revocation of the
charters of organizations.
