Collegians Missing
Drinking and Kissing
While students in colleges and universities throughout
the nation are going to their state legislatures with such
problems as lack or money, discrimination and overcrowded
conditions, students at Bowling Green State University in
Ohio may stand alone as the true defenders of collegiate
"independence."
Unhappy about a ban on beer,
good-night kissing and other
"problems," a group of students
complained to state legislators
Tuesday. They plan to ask the
Ohio General Assembly to inves
tigate the grievances against their
alma mater.
• The complaining students are
reported as having denied that
off-campus beer drinking and
kissing in front of the women's
residence halls were major issues
in demonstrations held at the uni
versity last week, but reports have
listed them among the chief com
plaints.
Among the grievances the stu
dents presented to the legislature
were:
OA curb on student expression
in the school newspaper.
eineffeetive student govern
ment.
*lnsufficient sections of popu
lar courses.

The complaints came as an aft
ermathl of three days of rioting
land class boycotting at the uni
iversity last week. The riots, which
were termed as a display of
"spring fever," supposedly started
with 25 fraternity men in a water
fight. Although general discon
tent has been implied as the
!cause of the riots, no actual rea
son for them has been given
After two nights of rioting on
campus and in the downtown
Columbus area the number had
swelled to "between 500 and
1000." R .clicking over the campus

Reactions to DARE Attacked
By LYNNE CEREFICE
The refusal of several stu
dent organizations to support
DARE's (Direct Action for
(Racial Equality) campaign in
dicates their adoption of a
general campus attitude of "run
ning" away from controversy, ac
cording to Preston N. Williams,
acting University Chaplain.
Williams statement referred to
the student groups (Association of
Women Students, Interfraternity
Council, Panhellenic Council and
the SGA Committee on Inter-
Racial Relations) who declined to
issue statements supporting
DARE's campaign against Greek
discrimination.
In the past three weeks, the
members of DARE have ap-

proached these various organ
izations asking• them to back a
drive to eliminate discrimina
tory clauses in fraternityand
sorority constitutions within
the next five years.
The negative response of these
organizations, Williams said, is an
example of Penn State's histor
ical fear of conflict.
"This is unfortunate for the
whole campus because it means
that students can never come to
grips with life as it is lived in a
larger society," he said. •
Williams said the members of
these organizations are saying
they would prefer "peace and
harmony among all white stu
dents, especially white , Pries
tants to the risk of splitting
their groups on one question.'
In reference to the refusal of
119 Osmond
Schwab
IFC and Panhel to support
DARE's campaign, Williams said:
"It seems to me that no Negro or
Jewish fraternity or sorority
could continue in fellowship with
these councils with integrity."
Williams also said that the con
ception of brotherhood and fel
lowship among Greeks seems to
mean that those Greeks who hap
pen to be also Jews and Negroes
would be on the basis of full par
ity with all the others. "And I
say this as a Greek myself," he
added.
Commenting on a remedy for
Greek discrimination, he said: "If
these students are of the opinion
that they can alter the constitu
tions of their fraternities and sor
orities, then they are hopelessly
naive."
