PAGE TWO AKPsi Action In a precedent-shattering reversal, the Na tional Inter-fraternity Conference, which con vened last semester, went unequivocably on record as advocating the end of discrimination in national fraternities. VIEWING THE previous NIC conclave, which was keynoted by fraternity leaders who sound ed like Southern demagogues spouting white supremacy, the recommendation of this year's NIC was surprising to many. College officials— mostly from the East and Midwest—who favor ed scrapping discrimination clauses, adverse journalistic criticism and a few liberal under graduate fraternity chapters seem to have worked a minor miracle and made possible a well-deserved democratic field day. However, this was' only the first step to ward what looks like eventual elimination of any discriminatory clauses in fraternity con stitutions. The conference only recommended; it did not go so far as to repeal clauses that turn thumbs down on any college student "because of his religion. race, color or creed" as another resolution suggested. Therefore, it remains up to the national fra ternities, individual colleges and chapters to de cide the fate of discriminatory clauses. colleges and universities in particular (and that includes Penn State) must seek to end the "double stand ard". of non-discrimination in charter require ments and discrimination clauses owned by organizations already recognized by the college. ACTION OF THE Senate Committee on Stu dent Welfare, announced in yesterday's Colleg ian, may be a preliminary move toward scrap ping the now-infamous clauses in. constitutions of Nittany fraternity chapters, social and hon orary. In essence, the action provides that "no pe titioning organizations with restrictive mem bership clauses as to race, religion or creed shall be granted a charter to operate at Penn State." But committee action just prior to this in granting a charter to Alpha Kappa Psi, na tional commerce fraternity whose constitu tion contains a restrictive clause; tends to resolution the sweeping non-discrimination resolution with a parasite or insincerity. Per haps the stated desire of local Alpha Kappa Psi members-to-be that their national elimin ate the bias clause should allay our feelings, but it does not. Action by the Senate Committee on future policy was a vital, progressive step, but it would have gone much further had the Committee— while granting a charter noW to Alpha Kappa Psi—stipulated removal of the fraternity's bias clause by a certain date. The two Committee actions, in effect, are opposite. REA & DERICK serves 3 meals daily ! Buy A , $5.00 Meal Ticket Get $5.50 . Worth Of Food NOW!
