DARE Considers Plan
To End Greek Biases
DARE (Direct Action for Racial Equality)
a proposal to place a referendum before the
which would advocate the abo
bias at the University.
DARE is currently conduc
n.ents of various student groups
asking that discriminatory
clauses be eliminated from the na
tional constitutions of sororities
and fraternities on campus with
in the next five years.
In reference to the campaign,
Aaron Konsiaml DARE presi
dent, said that this may not be
the most effective way of ob
taining support for his organi
zation's drive.
For this reason, Konstam said
DARE may place its request that
sorority and fraternity discrimin
ation be abolished directly before
the student body in the form of
a referendum.
In summarizing DARE’s posi
tion, Konstam said that it is sen
sible for fraternities and soror
ities to take only those members
they approve. However, he said,
some of these groups cannot ad
mit people they like because of
discriminatory clause stipula
tions.
Commenting on Konslam's
statement, William Surgner,
president of Alpha Tau Omega,
said that his fraternity is not
missing out on qualified peo
ple because if its national dis
criminatory clause.
“The elimination of this clause
would make no difference in the
quality of the house,’’ he said.
Surgner explained that he saw
no necessity for the repeal of dis
criminatory clauses in sororities
and fraternities because there are
a sufficient number of such groups
on campus which are specifically
devoted to minority membership.!
If faced with the problem of of- 1
fering membership to a Jewish
or Negro boy of whom the mem
bers approved, Surgner said: “We
just couldn’t do it.’’

commonwealth campuses.
This was the second meeting of
the group, and plans are now un

May. Merle E. Campbell, dean of
student affairs for the common
wealth campuses, told the group
that their job would be con

Faculty Salary-
(Continued frotn page one)
bers last night that the adminis
tration is taking the stand that
some members of the faculty,
regardless of rank, are not worth
as much as others. Therefore, a
strict salary scale according to
rank would not be pertinent.
In reply to this, Lois Hyslop,
professor of romance languages,
said, “In the army there are poor
generals, but they don’t receive
sergeant’s pay!”
Brewster summarized the feel
ing of the group, “Until two goal
are achieved at the University
there is little hope. We must ha\
a firm salary scale and less ovc
lap of salary between the rank
Eisman s Charge
Denied by Ettelson
James Ettelson, chairman of
the SGA Supreme Court, de
nied last night he had been
“hedging” on hearing the $7OO
bill case and said the delay
had been due to lack of infor
mation.
He spoke in response to a
charge made last week by Dennis
Eisman, former vice chairman of
Campus party, that Ettelson had
ibeen “under political influence”
inot to hear the case.
At the Nov. 17 meeting of
SGA, a bill was passed that al
lotted the elections commission
$7OO for handling broadcast and
poster publicity for this year's
elections.
At that time. Eisman denounced
the bill as limiting party initia
tive and later appealed its con
stitutionality to the Supreme
Court.
Ettelson added last night that
the court “realizes the importance
of a decision on this case to the
coming election and will make
every effort to act accordingly.”
He said he had personal
ly been doing research on sim
ilar cases and was looking for
a precedent.
He set no definite date for the

Meryl, a 4th semester Hort. major is an export product

Of parties we saw this weekend, Beta Theta Pi's was lops

attracting the best maidens available.
Just finished working with the Alpha Phi and Alpha Delta
Pi pledge classes, both of which had several outstanding
girls. To mention a few, the Misses Rene La Boda, Marty
Kline, Linda Burns, Barbara Herbert and Joan Dunlap.
It apears as if Sigma Nu has joined the roster of the select
few fraternities who are having their composites made now
in time for Mother's Day. Other houses will be having theirs
made this Spring which will be ready to hang this Fall with
the new men added to it as soon as they pledge in October.
hearing, but said it would be in
the "near future.”
Eisman said last night he is
basing his case on a past court
decision that denies SGA the right
to regulate the internal structure
of political parties, and on the
fact that the bill violates Article
IV, Section 3e of the constitution,
which says that "Assembly shall
not pass legislation which is pri
marily within the scope of an
other student organization . . . ”
Eisman also said that the pub
licity offered by the elections
commission might tend to give
preference to one party in an elec
tion.
