Racial Issue

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-fA').
An undergraduate group sue
ceeded today in getting a resolu-
ton against racial or religious
discrimination officially before
the National Inter fraternity
Conference.
Its prospects are highly I'M
certain, however, in view of yes
terday's ruling by the conference
executive committee that the
subject is not a proper one for
the organization of 81 Greek let
ter societies to rule on.
The measure was sent to the
Resolutions Committee, which
was to report shortly before the
close of the conference late to-
day.
1t calls on all national college
fraternities to repeal any mem
bership bans based on race or
religion.
An informal movement among
undergraduate inter fraternity
councils on New England and
midwestern compuses resulted in
preparation Of the draft resolu
ton.
Since the undergraduates are
only guests at the conference,
without the right to participate
actively, it was uncertain until
today whether they would even
get their proposal onto the floor.
Alexander Goodman of Baltl-
more, executive secretary of Phi
Alpha Fraternity, however, pre-
sented it to the conference for
them. He urged that the confer
ence advise member fraternities
to repeal any discriminatory
clauses.
