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.
