The Court and Fraternity Discrimination
The Supreme Court has set a precedent which
may some day be used to outlaw discriminatory
parctiees by fraternities.
In fact, it could affect discrimination on racial
or religious grounds in even private schools,
other private clubs and colleges supported or
controlled by church groups of any denomi
nation.
Ill* Supreme Court April 29 proclaimed that
a man who left his money in 1831 for a college
which would admit only "mole, while orphans"
cannot have his wishes entirely respected.
- Stephen Girard allowed the city of Phila
delphia to act as a trustee for him, and now
his wishes cannot be fully fulfilled by the
trustee.
The court ruled that the organization the city
set up to carry out such trusts was an “agency
of the stale” and not an agency of the donor
of the. money.
lien the Supreme Court invokes the 14th
Amendment, which reads: “No State shall make^
or enforce any law which shall abridge the”
privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States.”
It is conceivable that fraternities may fall
under thii precedent case. Mpsi of them are in
Discordant Note
Pivot, the campus poetry magazine, made its
annual May appearance yesterday with a record
breaking sale of more than 900 copies.
Since the first publication eight years ago,
Pivot has been continually growing in sales
and reputation. It has a unique position among
“little magazines” produced on college campuses
in that it is self-sustaining.
Pivot it recognized by the world of poetry
lovers; it has gained a reputation for fine mod
ern poetry. Copies of lhe magazine are request
ed by college English departments all over the
country.
Two years ago a copy of Pivot prompted a
remark in the New Campus Writing, an annual
book about college writing, that “there is much
promising literary activity” at the University.
Sounds like a discordant note among lhe tire
some cries of cultural apathy. But Pivot's suc
cess this year and lhe progressive growth of its
counterpart, the Lantern, student literary mag
azine, may prove the national magazine right.
. Pivot had been walking the tight rope of
student interest in its 7-year struggle for sur
vival. But this year, it looks like the small
yellow. book has a sunny future.

corporaled under charier* issued by a slate.
It is even more conceivable to see how they
can fall under this ruling if the college is state*
supported. Local chapters of national fraterni
ties and. local fraternities receive their charters
from the college, which could be considered an
"agency of the stale."
The same is true of private clubs. Many of
these are incorporated under state laws. Added
to this list could be private colleges.
We wonder whether the Supreme Court it
self realized it was getting -so close to banning
any form of discrimination when it handed
down the Girard decision.
We also wonder if the decision does not pose
more problems than it answers.
But,* when these problems are overcome and
answered in future Supreme Court decisions—
and undoubtedly they will be—America will
be better for it.
Many fraternities and fraternity men will not
like the idea that some day they mir be re
quired io take the action Pi Lambda Phi took
so wisely on its own several years ago.
But then “brotherhood” to many of them has
a different meaning than it does to-us.

Safety Valve
Round-Robin Attack?
TO THE EDITOH: These observations pertain to
the article of April 17 by Mr. Arthur Edson of
the Associated Press concerning the late Sena
tor McCarthy, and remarking on the measure
of a gentleman. That was quite a game of round
robin. Mr. Edson writes an article expressing
your sentiments and has a Mr. Ginsburg ex
press his, Mr. Edson's own.
Do you honestly consider that such meaning
less spite, published on the day of the Senator’s
burial, did anything to increase your own stat
ure. Apart from the questionable merit of the
poem quoted in part then and now, “... where
God has failed in the man," are you or Mr.
Edson conversant with the definition of a
gentleman? Again in part, “a well bred man
of fine feelings.” That excludes you fellows
from the club wouldn’t you say.
Doesn't a newspaper, a gracious term here,
owe a responsibility to all of its readers. Haven't
you assumed, rather too optimistically, a gen
eral agreement with your own point of view on
the pari of your readers. When you are selec
tive in your material choosing only those ar
ticles which establish your own opinion, con
cealing or omitting any view to the contrary,
you have really missed the point of news re
porting.
Over a period of time I have been very im
pressed with an insidious type of reporting
which the Collegian appears to favor. It brings
to mind two lines from another poet, Alex
ander Pope— .
Damn with faint praise, assent with civil leer
And without sneering teach the rest to sneer.

(Editor's Note: Mr. Edson's-column was print
ed because of its news interest not because it
necessarily agreed with the view of the edi
tor. And speaking about round robins . . .)

Interpreting the-News
Khrushchevs Poor
As Grandma, Wolf
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
The rulers of Soviet Russia have never understood why
the Western Powers won’t make a deal formally establishing
spheres of influence.
Nikita Khrushchev’s latest pronouncements make it clear
he thinks the big powers should buy and sell the small
powers at will.
He still thinks-there must be
a way to get the United States to
make a deal with-Russia, aban
doning the satellites to their fate,
cutting the Western Allies adrift,
and leaving the world wide open
to Communist infiltration.
Lacking that,. he thinks the
Allies can be frigthened into
cutting themselves adrift to
cuddle around Russia in some
sort of Hiller-like dream of a
consolidated Europe.
Among the more fantastic of
his ideas is that the United States
and Russia might form some sort
of coalition to exercise controls
over everyone else.
Constantly he swings back'to
the claim that everything would
be all right if the United States
would just stay at home, abandon
the North Atlantic Treaty,Organ
ization and her overseas bases.
There is no slightest recognition
of the fact that the United States,
after World War 11, did go home
and that Russia did not.
There is no recognition that
the United States reluctantly
maintains her bases because
she has seen Russia seeking to
expand at every .point where
there has been no adequate de
fense aaginst her.
Khrushchev's suggestion that
the United States and Russia
might form a coalition to preserve
peace and tell everyone else what
to do would be a master stroke
for communism. *
When the United States had

thus surrendered all'claim to mor
ality, Krushchev thinks, and been
abandoned by the rest of .the
world in disgust, then she could
be eaten by the Communists with
impunity.
. But Krushchev's teeth have
now become so prominent he
not only makes a very poor
grandma. He's not even a very
practical wolf.
