Negro Girl Cause:
Wisconsin Sorority
Placed On Probdfion
For PIedqinq Student

Des Moines, Ia. (ANP) - The
Beloit (Wis.) college chapter of
Delta Gamma, a social sorority,
has refused to oust Miss Patricia
Hamilton, 81, a Negro girl, from
the campus body despite threats
and pressure from it's national
council, the Des Moines Register
reported in a copyrighted story
here last week.
The Register reported Sunday,
April % that the national council
of the sorority had placed the Be-
lott college chapter on so days pro-
baton with the probability of ous-
ter from the parent body at the
end of that period for pledging
Miss Hamilton, described as an out
standing student leader on the
campus.
Probation ClOcked In Secrecy
However, Beloit chapter presi-
dent Miss Phyllis Fransworth, 20,
junior from Nashville, Tenn. told
the Register that Miss Hamilton,
a junior from Madison, Wis, will
remain a pledge, despite the pres
sure and threat from the council.
The biased edict from the nation
al council was Clocked in sec
recy, and Mrs. Robert w. Preston,
national president, who lives on
Long Island, N. Y, refused to COM
ment on it.
The council, according to the
Register, tried to keep the proba-
ton order hush-hush by asking
chapters, collegiate actives and
alumnae chapters and associations
to read and destroy the order and
not to comment on it to anyone"
The probation order did not men,
ton Miss Hamilton but left little
doubt as to the reason. 1t indicated
also that there is a jimcrow clause
in the national constitution. The
probation order read:
Council has voted unanimously
to place the chapter on fraternity
probation Immediately and has in
stituted the procedures necessary
to follow as provided in article 19
of the fraternity constitution be-
fore council can determine wheth-
er or not to suspend the chapters
charter.
"A period of 60 days is required
between the time the chapter is
notified of the proposed action and
the date upon which council will
make it's final decision. The date
for the (finaD decision has been
set for June 80, 1852"
The Register said a statement
of instruction was stapled to the

A Private Organization
IF questioned by anyone out
side of your group you are to re-
ply No comment If, however,
you are questioned by your college
administration you are to refer to
them to the president Of the fra
ternity."
When questioned on the matter,
DR.. Miller Upton, Beloit president,
said he would hate to think the
national office has taken this &C
ton on this count (pledging Miss
Hamilton). He added he knew the
college chapter is on probation but
doesn't know why.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Preston indicat-
ed she thought the national body
had a right to discriminate. This
is private organization. When we
have disciplinary actions there is
no reason why we have to tell any
one about them," she told the Reg
lister.

made by other private citizens
with the question: why do
we have to put this sort of
major tank installation right
in the middle Of our homeS?"
The 1l6-acre tract where the
tank farm would be constructed
is 100 feet from Woodson
High School. Housing gasoline,
fuel oil and jet fuel piped in
from Texas, the depot would
serve as the major distribution
point for the Washington area
and also would pipe fuel to
Dulles International Airport.
Mr.. Chambliss said a buffer
strip 200 feet wide, consisting
of wooded land, would separate
the oil tanks from the nearby
Little River residential area.
