Exempt Student Organizations
35) As used in this resolution

one or more of the following penal-
ties for prohibited conduct:
a) Immediate withdrawal of rec-
ognition;
b) Withdrawal of recognition,
to become effective at a time fix-
ed by the Membership Tribunal
(which time can in no event be
later than two years after the pen-
alty is announced), if prior to that
time the group fails to prove the
prohibited conduct has ended and
there is no substantial likelihoods
of its repetition;
c) Immediate suspension of
rushing ibrivileges for a period of
time fixed by the Membership
Tribunal, but in no event longer1
than two years from the time when
the penalty is announced.

the information rules or an order
on any informational matter the1
following penalties may be impos-
ed by the membership tribunal:
a) Immediate withdrawal of rec-
ognition;
b) Withdrawal of recognition ef-
fective at a designated future
time not later than thirty days
from the date the penalty is an-
nounced; in the event the con-
tempt has not been purged by
then;
c) Immediate suspension of
rushing privileges until such time
as the contempt has been purged;-
d) Immediate social suspension
of intramural activities involving
other recognized student groups

purged.

of the procedural rules, or refuse
to obey an order of the tribunal
(other than an informational rule

alties, but not others:
a) Any penalty designated for
violation of an informational rule
order.

or oppose designated claims or de-
fenses, or prohibiting him from in-
troducing in evidence designated
documents or things or items of

or dismissing the action or pro-
ceedings or any part thereof, or
rendering a decision by default
against the disobedient party.
39) The Office of Student Af-
fairs in conjunction with SGC
will maintain a roster of all stu-
dent organizations. This roster will
be available at all times to the
Membership Committee, the Mem-
bership Tribunal, and the vice-
president for student affairs. The
roster will, for the purposes of
interpreting Regents Bylaw 2.14,
be presented to the Membership
Committee of whatever subdivi-
sions or categories are deemed nec-
essary. The determination of
whether a group is within an ex-
empt category remains with SGC.
40) Any organization which,
prior or subsequent to the effec-
tive date of this resolution, has
been designated a "nationality
group" by the International Cen-
ter or a "religious group" by the
Office of Religious Affairs is en-
titled to the status of "exempt"
student organization upon request
to SGC for such status.
41) This resolution is effective
at once.
(Continued from Page 3)
The subcommittee bill, like the
administration's, calls on judges
to set voting cases for hearing "at
the earliest practicable date."
PUBLIC ACCOMMODATIONS
The subcommittee has discarded'
a long set of findings attached to
the Justice Department draft of
the public accommodations section
as a preamble. The idea was to
spell out the constitutional basis.
The subcommittee lets the opera-
tive parts of the title speak for
themselves.
The bill, like the administra-
tion's, prohibits racial or religious
discrimination in the following
places of public accommodation;
involved in interstate commerce:
-Hotels or motels serving inter-
state travelers.
-Theaters, arenas and other
amusement places presenting'
sources of entertainment that
move in commerce.'
-Any retail stores providing
goods or services "to a substantial
degree" to interstate travelers, or
using goods that in "substantial
portion" have moved across state
lines, or engaging in activities
that "substantially affect" inter-
state commerce.
In addition, the subcommittee
has written in a new section evi-
dently based on the 14th Amend-
ment's prohibition of racial dis-
crimination by any state or its
officials. It attempts to stretch
the constitutional reach to pri-
vately owned facilities.
This section bars discrimination
by any business that "operates
under state or local authorization,
permission or license," and any
discrimination "compelled, en-
couraged or sanctioned by the
state, directly or indirectly, in any
manner whatsoever."
The apparent result would be to
cover just about every commercial
establishment, if the courts hold
thatbthe 14th Amendment can
reach that far.
Bona fide private clubs are ex-
empted. So are owner-occupied
private homes with no more than
five rooms for rent, a provision
that was not in the administra-
tion draft.
Following the administration,
the subcommittee has provided no
criminal enforcement of the pub-
lic accommodations' sections. In-
stead the attorney general would
be authorized to bring civil suits
if mediation efforts failed.
TITLE III
The Civil Rights Act of 1957, as
passed by the House, included a
Title III allowing the Justice De-
partment to sue on behalf of in-
dividuals denied their civil rights
by conspiracies of two or more
persons.
The Senate struck that provi-
sion, limiting Justice Department
suits to voting cases. Ever since,
Title III has been a major battle
cry for civil rights groups.
The House subcommittee, writ-
ing an entirely new part into the
administration draft, proposes an
even broader version of the old
Title III. It would let the Justice
Department sue to stop depriva-
tion of anyone's constitutional
rights by a person acting under
color of any statute, custom or
usage.
SCHOOLS
The administration draft called
for federal assistance to school
districts undertaking desegrega-
tion. Included were technical aid,
training institutes and grants for
special teachers and training. The
House bill contains these provi-
sions.
In addition, in its only bow to
the Title III approach, the ad-
ministration bill allowed the Jus-
tice Department to bring school
desegregation suits whenever pri-
vate persons were unable to do so
because of poverty or fear.
The subcommittee expanded this
section to cover not oily schools
but all other facilities publicly
"operated, managed, controlled or
supported"-parks, for example.
FEDERAL PROGRAMS
The aim of this section is to
stop the use of federal aid funds
for state and local activities in
which there is racial or religious
discrimination. With the concur-
rence of the Justice Department,
which had second thoughts, its
original draft was entirely re-
written.
Thefirst draft said simply that
no evisting law should be con-
strued to require continued pay-
ment of federal grants to dis-
criminatory programs. The effect
was to leave it up to the President
whether to continue any such
grants.
The subcommittee's language
starts by repealing any provisions
of federal law calling for grants
to segregated institutions. One
such statute is the Hill-Burton Act
providing aid for hospital con-
struction.
The bill says that no persons
shall be subjected to racial dis-
crimination in any activity re-
ceiving federal aid. It directs each
federal agency giving aid to adopt
rules carrying out the policy of
nondiscrimination.
To enforce the policy the bill
allows the government to sue in
the federal courts or, alternatively,
to cut off the specific aid item in
question. The recipient of the aid
may go to court for review of any
such cutoff.'
EMPLOYMENT
The administration proposed to
give statutory authority to the
Presidential commission now deal-
ing with job discrimination in the
government itself and on the part
of government contractors.
In its most far-reaching move
the subcommittee substituted aj
complete fair employment prac-
tices measure, covering most busi-
nesses and most labor unions in
the country.
As its text the subcommittee
used a bill approved last July 22
by the House Education and La-
bor Committee. It would set up
an Equal Employment Opportun-
ity Commission for enforcement.
Labor unions would be forbid-
den to exclude or expel any per-
son from membership on grounds
of race or religion. Any business
"affecting commerce" and having
25 employes or more would be
forbidden to discriminate in hir-
ing or firing.
The entire title would become
effective a year after enactment.
COURT PROCEDURE
Another new section seeks to
strengthen the provision of law
allowing persons whose civil rights
may be endangered in state-court
trials to remove their cases to
federal courts.
This removal process has been
attempted recently in such in-
stances as the mass prosecutions
of Negro demonstrators in Dan-
ville, Va. But some federal judges
have simply remanded the cases
to state courts, and under existing
law such remands are not ap-
pealable.
The subcommittee would allow
the higher federal courts to review
any order remanding to the state
courts a case in which removal
had been sought on civil rights
grounds.
