Penn State has done Its part
in this area. Last year the Univer
sity' Senate passed resolution
forbidding any social, honorary or
profeisional society to operate on
this campus after June, 1965, if it
has a clause restricting member
shit., because of race, religion or
creed in its charier.
The social fraternities and so
rorities had a finger pointed at
them by this ruling. Although
only a smell number_ of the na

on this campus actually

These organizations have a point
worth consideration. They argue
the because of the nature of their
groups, in • which the members
live together in a brother or sister
hood requiring the closest unity,
they must be free to-choose mem
bers who can live 'compatibly.
This is the' best argument these
organizations) have that their
membership must not be selected
for them. However, it should
be just as true that no stipulations,
self -imposed or otherwise,
should exist as to what kind of
members they can choose, when
these restrictions extend to race,
religion or creed.
Those of us who are mambas:
of Greek latter organizations may
have mixed feelings about the sit
uation. Our loyalty to our frafer
rdty may conflict with our liberal
ideas on race or religion. It's easy
to get confused by arguments on
both aides which serve mainly to
obscure the issue. '
The only thing clear is that
something, somewhere is going to
have to give. Either a lot of people
with deep.-seated ideas are going
to change their minds or the anti
discrimination movement is going
to go down in defeat.
Even as northern college stu
dents, we're ix the. fray_ It's no
longer going to be easy to avoid
choosing sides—As youth, we're
going to have to make up our
minds about a. lot of, basic things,
whether it's the Question of. end

and fraternities or integ ► ting, a

one thing, it's the • •. •
symbol of the MISS MILLS
highest authority of the United
States. And it's also a thoroughly
symbolic Insignia, down to the
tail feathers of the grand or eagle.
The earliest known use of the
seal was made 180 years ago last
Sunday on a document signed by
John-.llanson, president of the
Continental Congress. The. docu
ment, so my aged clipping says,
authorized Gen. George Washing
ton to arrange with the British
for the exchange and better treat
ment of prisoners of war.
Actually. the sears history can
bn traced to July 4. 17711. At 4 p.m.
on the 4th. the - Congress named
Benjamin Franklin. John Adams
end Thomas Jefferson to a com
natioe to propose a device for the
seal. of the United States.
It was not - until 1782, however,
that the seal's design was ap
proved by Congress. The seal in
kabidoscopm
Seal of Approval
use tOday is placed on a docu
ment only after it has been signed
by the President.
More interesting than tracing
the various committees, theme
eve r-p resent governmental
bodies, which designed the seal,
is studying the symbol itself. It
is the only government seal in
the world with two sides, both of
which appear on the dollar bill.
Only the face, however, is used
to seal official papers.
If any readers still have a dollar
Left, they can see this seal on the
reverse side of G.W.'s likeness. -
The sears face shows the "Eagle
of Democracy" with the "glory"
above' its bead. Indicating the
spiritual above the material. The
glory is a ring of light surrounded
by a cloud. The good or bald
iggle—no disrespect meant—rep
resenbts national sovereignty and
its head the executive branch.
That number 13—apparently
lucky only to the original colo
nies—dominates the seal. For
example, there are 13 stars inside
the glory, above the eagle's head.
The 13 arrows in the bird's left
claw represent 'war and 13 olive
leaves and seeds in the right claw
symbolize peace. The eagle's head
turns toward the olive leaves. We
must continue to remind Khrush
chev this bend is more than just
symbolic.
Continuing in the 13 motif,
there are 13 vertical stripes of
