Williams Hits Discrimination By LYNNE CEREFICE Penn State as a state insti tution can and should act against discrimination in fra ternities and sororities, ac cording to Preston N. Wil liams, acting University chap lain. "A fraternity is not a private institution," Williams said. If fraternities and sororities were private organizations, he said, they would have no business on the Penn State campus. The dean of women's and dean of - nen's of fices would not be justified in regulating them and employing staffs to aid them in this case, he said. He added that right now, the University's policy suggests that the administration is sup porting the status quo and cer tain groups are being discrim inated against. "As a state institution. we should have no part in this," Wil liams said. The University policy referred that the University will not char ter student organizations with dis criminatory clauses in their na tional or local constitutions. It does not apply, however, to fra-: ternities and sororities which were already on campus before' the ruling was passed.

He said that the Greek organ izations are merely being asked not to exclude people from mem bership simply because they are born of a particular race or re ligion. Commenting on the Univer sity's position in the matter, Wil liams said that insofar as the ad ministration fails to say that this is an illegitimate basis for se lecting members, they are con doning the policy as legal.
