that Acheson is doing a laudable
job in the State Department and
will not be removed.
Senator Joseph McCarthy of
Wisconsin has attacked Acheson
and charged that the State De
partment is a harbor for com
munists.
Roving Ambassador Phillip Jes
sup. recently called a pro-com
munist by Senator McCarthy,
produced letters from Generals
George Marshall and Dwight Ei
senhower attesting to his loyalty.

Prof. Sheldon Tanner advisor
to the fraternity, said yester
day. Dr. J. D. Sparks. national sec
retary of Alpha Kappa Psi, tele
phoned Professor Tanner front
Chicago to, notify him of the coun
cil's action.
At present, qualifications for
membership in the national con
stitution state that the candidate
must "be of the Christian faith
and Caucasian race."
Others May Follow
"Since Alpha Kappa Psi is the
oldest and one of the largest 4
professional business fraternities,"
continued Professor Tanner, "the
other business fraternities will
most likely follow our lead."
Policy on the AKPsi petition
will be discussed tonight at 7
o'clock in a meeting of the
NAACP in 418 Old Main.
After the local chapters send
their petitions to remove the re-.
strictive clause from the consti
tution, the Grand council either
will take action as soon as the
petitions are tabulated, or will
take a final vote at. the national
convention this summer.
Alpha Kappa Psi, has been the
center of a campus legislative tur
moil in recent days. The Senate
Committee on Student Welfare
passed its petition for a. local
charter on the grounds that
20 years ago the petition was
passed by the College. At that
time, the College had no com
merce department and the local
petition to the national organiza
tion was withheld pending for
mation of such a department.
In October, 'the department of
economics and commerce revised
its courses and Saturday at Alpha
Kappa Psi's Grand council meet
ing in Chicago, the petition was
approved.
Officers of Alpha Kappa Psi-
are: Jack W. Wyker, president;
Joseph Brooks, vice-president;
Frederick Herold, secretary, and
Steve Cebulko, treasurer.

FOR the Grand Council of
Alpha Kappa Psi.
Though it's headquarters are
in Chicago, it's action Saturday
in removing the restrictive
membership clause from the
national constitution has far
reaching effects on this campus.
It eliminates the need of at
tempting to block AKPsi's local
charter, and should that at
tempt have failed, Council's ac
tion prevents the formation.
