IFS Surveys Seek
Student Opinion
On Discrimination
Interfraternity Council took the
first step Wednesday night to
sound out student opinion on the
problem of discrimination in bar
ber shops when it instructed its
members to survey the fraternity
houses.
Willard Agnew, president of
the council, gave the members of
IFC three questions. Each mem
ber was instructed to conduct an
opinion poll in his fraternity
house and turn the results in to
RH Sparks for tabulation.
"I urge all houses who haven't
taken a vote yet to do so." said
Agnew. "since we would like to
give the complete results to
CORE by this afternoon."
The questions, decided upon at
a meeting of the Committee on
Racial Equality, are based on the
committee's suggestion of starting
a new non-discriminatory barber
shop in State College.
The three questions asked were:
"Would you favor the establish
ment of a non-discriminatory bar
ber shop in State College?"
"Would you favor conducting a
boycott against other shops while
encouraging students and towns
people to patronize a non-discrim
inatory shop?"
"Would you advance one dollar
towards a non-discriminatory
shop, the donation to be redeemed
25 cents at a time as you receive
a haircut?"
