In a letter addressed to the Grand Council of Alpha Kappa Psi, the Penn State group also said that if its petition to join the national organization was ac cepted, it would press for re moval of the restrictive clause at the next national convention: At Senate Committee on Stu dent Welfare hearings, before the charter was granted last week. the members pledged themselves to work for removal of all bars restricting membership in Alpha Kappa Psi because of race or religion. "The members of the group. both faculty and students. defi nitely disapprove of excluding members because of -racial or re ligious qualifications," Dr. Shel don Tanner, one of the chapter'.i four faculty advisors, said yes terday. Dr. Tanner and the three other advisors, Dr. George Leffler, Dr. E. Orth Malott, and Prof. Ken neth Wherry are all Alpha Kap pa Psi members from other uni : !. versities. "We had no choice if we wanted to go national," Dr. Tanner added: "The only two national com merce fraternities in the country, to my knowledge, have this same restrictive clause. We felt the ad dition of a chapter here would be one more vote to rid the 'consti tution of the clause we dislike." The other national commerce fraternity, Delta Sigma Pi, which already has a charter from the College, also recruits its members from white non-Jews. "Reform," Dr. Tanner said, is not very far off." •. He stated that he approved the establishment of an AKPsi chap ter here, despite its present biased character, because a commerce department as large as the orie at Penn State needed more than one professional society. The decision to approve the AKPsi charter was followed by a Senate committee motion, last Friday, to refuse to charter any group, in the future, with a re strictive membership clause in its constitution.
