arlington AAUW
Ubb0Ids National
Eligibility Stand
By Jeanne Rogers

The national Interpretation Of
bylaws concerning the eligibility
of membership in branches Of the
american Association of Univer-
ISity Women was upheld last night
lin action taken by the Arlington
Branch.
! Members of the group unani-
mously adopted a resolution which
called for support of proposed. re-
visions and Qualifications in the
laws at the biennial convention
in June.
Eligibility for both national and
branch membership is stated now
by national to include any woman
holding an approved degree.
In 1916 a controversy arose be-
tween the Washington Branch and
the national organization over the
formers refusal to admit colored
graduate.
Court action ensued and Chief
IJustice Bolitha j. Laws Of District
(Court ruled in favor of the Wash
,ington Branch in its fight against
expulsion by the national associa-
ton. The latter has appealed the
court order.
The national board of directors
asked the various delegates to ex-
press their opinions at the Seattle
convention on the questions of ell
gibility and of branches being
independent of or part of unified
central organization.
In a general discussion, Arling-
ton Branch members expressed the
opinion that individual units are
Iheld together by the national Or
ganiZation.
Mrs. Robert Lamkin, State leg
|islative chairman for the AAUW
in Virginia, offered the resolution:
Whereas it has been proposed
that the bylaws of the AAUW
be revised and clarified at the con-
Ivention, it is resolved that the
Arlington Branch support these
|revisions that reaffirm and
strengthen the association as a
national organization, composed
of individual members as op-
posed to a federation of branches;
and those which affirm that
a branch, defined as a group
of members of the association,
shall see that its bylaws conform
with the national bylaws. Be it
resolved that delegates be in
structed to so cast their votes"
I'VE in this area do have as a
main thought the question of COL
ored membership" Mrs. Robert w.
Cox, president, said. 1T is not
just local problem. Other parts
of the country have the problem of
membership of other nationalities.
We must remember that Germany
and Italy were expelled from the
international organization because
of intolerance. We in America
must face international complica-
tions, too."
i During the discussion one men,
ber asked how Virginia laws on
segregation would affect the
branch. Mrs. Cox replied that
such laws as those affecting the
meeting place. the Lyon Park
Community House, would have to
be investigated.
Being a Southerner, another
member said, II firmly believe the
South isn't ready for a genera.
anti-segregation law, but I believe
a group like the AAUW is the
place for nonsegregation tc
