Look Magazine
Features Story Of
Race Prejudice

NEW YORK Charges
of racial Discrimination by college
sororities, made BY former So
fority member in the issue of
Look magazine just released, were
substantiated by a newspaper
story from Eugene, Oregon, that
a University of Oregon coed was
forced to move from the Gamma
Phi Beta sorority house because
she dated colored student.
A spokesman for the magazine
said the. experience Of the Uni
versity Of Oregon coed was COM
plete verification of devastating
accusations of discrimination" in
the magazines article, Great So
rority Swindle.'
According to press dispatches, the
University of Oregon coed said
sorority officers and members of
the Alumni Association gave her
the choice of ending her friendship
with the colored student or leav-
ing the sorority house.
The coed, a 17-year old sopho-
more, consented to interviews on
the condition that her name would
be withheld to save her embarrasS-
ment, the university was quoted
as saying.
She now is living in Hendricks
Hall, a university-operated dorm
itory
The incident was brought to
light by the Oregon Emerald, uni
versity newspaper, when it pub
Iished an editorial criticizing the
alleged coercion The Emerald
said:
can Oregon sorority has just
paid homage to one of the strong
est satans of our society = pre-
judice. 1t has given way to fear
of an unwritten social code, and
executed an injustice ugly on
college campus"
The girl said she did not move
out voluntarily. She said she was
approached about six weeks ago
by a sorority alumna and told that
if she didn't stop seeing the colored
youth, the house would have to
toLo coma action -
She said one night a few weeks
ago she saw a fiery cross on the
sorority lawn.
The girl spent a weekend at the
Portland (Oregom home Of the
boys parents. The two said they
were just good friends"
The Look, article, written by
Rosanne Smith Robinson, a grad
uate of the class of 1943 of North
western University, charges that
sororities are a "swindle," both
for the girls who are excluded and
those who join. While the systema-
tic snubbing of non-members often
leads to bitter unhappiness, it IS
the chosen few who become the
real victims, she says.
Sororities demand of a girl that
she become expert in the tricks
OF that most pathetic and selfish
