To Seize Mines
WASHIN G T ON President
Truman has asked Congress for

PRICE FIVE CENTS
Voices
oning Penn State group w„as
represented, passpd a resolu
tion two months ago in Buf
falo calling for removal of the
clause which restricts mem
bership in the organization to
"Christians and members of the
Caucasian race."
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.
