Person to Person

Since the inception of TRANSVESTIA the inclusion of a section for personal ads has been a must. That there be a way whereby per-

sons interested in this field could make contact with each other has been one of its main concerns. Thus the section called PERSON TO PERSON has been a feature of each issue.

However, the whole field of activities of Chevalier Publicat- ions has broadened considerably so that new factors have had to be taken into consideration. For one thing, many of those who have found friends through the medium of TRANSVESTIA no longer feel the need of finding new ones and do not answer letters sent to them from ads in past issues. Others have proven not to be reliable in various ways and have gotten others in trouble because of it. So these factors together with the formation of the national sorority PHI PI EPSILON have necessitated a change in the operation of this section.

For the protection of the magazine itself and all of its sub- scribers it appears necessary to limit the use of these facilities to those who have been willing to give some pertinent personal in- formation about themselves. This will be done by the use of a personal information form obtainable from Chev. Pubs. upon request. When this form is returned along with a registration fee of $5, and the applicant cleared, this money may be applied against the costs of ads and answers at the regular rates ($2 & $1). If application is not accepted the money will be returned. Persons unwilling to play the game this way would be deprived of the privilege of con- tacts it is true, but sometimes the few have to be sacrificed for the good of the many and I am sure that for most of you the contin- uted existance of TVia and its collateral publications is the most important thing.

Members of PHI PI EPSILON are free to use the Person to Per- son facilities at any time by simply paying the fee. They have shown their willingness to cooperate and their understanding of the long-term goals of our activities by joining FPE and have been adequately screened at the time of their application to the soror- ity.
