Manuscripts
professor emeritus of English,
that he would like to donate the
manuscripts of his latest best
seller, "Sermons and Soda-Water,"
to a Pennsylvania college, pos
sibly Penn State.
Werner turned the correspond
ence, over to the University li
brarian, Ralph W. McComb, who
gratefully accepted the offer.
Since then, the manuscripts have
been received and placed in the
library's rare book room. They
are available for study and will
be exhibited later, McComb said.
The two men first met when
Werner was a Pottsville school
teacher and his future wife and
O'Hara were reporters_ on the
Pottsville paper. Werner re
called that O'Hara got his start
in magazine writing on "The
New Yorker" with the help of
New York newspaper owner
Franklin P. Adams.
In 1934, O'Hara wrote "Ap
pointment in Sumarra" which es
tablished his reputation as an
•
author. Since then he has writ
ten "From the Terrace," "A Rage
to Live" and "Ten North Fred
erick."
Ironically, O'Hara, who now
numbers among the top most pop
ular American writers, was re-
fused admission to Penn State,
Werner said.
O'Hara has given his manu
scripts to several colleges, among
them, Harvard, Yale, Rutgers and
Princeton, but this was the first
donation to a Pennsylvania col
lege. The author would like to
place his manuscripts in several
libraries in the state, Werner
said.
The 'Sermons and Soda-Water"
manuscript includes the original
manuscript, galley proofs and
page proofs. The manuscripts will
be of interest to students of Amer
ican literature.

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.
"No one is asking a particu
lar fraternity or sorority to
take any one particular indi

ridual," he said, "nor is anyone
suggesting that they take in Ne
gro Christians who accept the
same dogmatic conceptions of
Jesus that they accept."
. 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.

In addition, he said that the
University is actually saying
that such membership discrim
ination is right, that it is in con
formity with our educational
policy and that it has been
beneficial to life in the Com
monwealth.
Williams suggested that the
University. Senate direct the Sen
ate Committee on Student Af
fairs to re-examine its policy to
ward sorority and fraternity dis
crimination.
Secondly, he said that the Uni
versity should conduct campaigns
to educate students on integra
tion.
