rUDENTS' VIEWS:
Discuss Negro
By LORA KIAPOHL
'Most Negroes feel that their
)st important problem is secur-
r civil rights."
This is one of the main reasons
Ly a greater number of Negroes
n't join student activities, Fred
owne, Grad. said. "Preoccupa-
n with this problem tends to
eclude their participation in I
tivities which are not specifi-
Ily related to attaining civil
hts."
"However, it has not been estab- l
tied by scientific methods that
e percentage of Negro partici-
tion in student affairs is signi-
antly less than the percentage
r the student body as a whole."
Participate Under Pressure
Browne said that even in a case
rolving civil rights there is a
gh percentage of participants
ly when there is great pres-
re.
"Take South Africa, for in-
nce. Even in this country where
e situation is more extreme than
Ameica there was not 100 per
nt participation. I don't know
iat you would have to do to get,
at percentage."
Walter Faggett, Grad., who has
en elected to the board of the
ently formed Unviersity chapter
the NAACP, said "Negroes tend
develop complacency in situa-
ns such as those in Ann Arbor
sere there is no overt discrimi-
tion."
Participation in Activities
Don't Seek Hidden
"We don't look for the hidden
discrimination. The southern Ne-
gro is told his place and has some-
thing to figh$ against-there is a
reality in his situation. We in the
North aren't faced with this every-
day type of thing."
"The University Negro just isn't
a pioneer. There is a fear of com-
plicating things. Another reason
that Negroes don't tend to follow
the white students' lead in things
such as picketing is that there is
a feeling that we should have
been there first to prevent any
political implications of such ac-
tions," Faggett said.
A second reason why Negroes
aren't more involved in activities,
Browne said, "is a lack of interest
because they are so accustomed
to being pulled down that they
tend to presume that they won't
be wanted.
Reluctant To Join
"There is a definite reluctance
to being humiliated. If someone
actually invited them to join they
might be more inclined to do so."
Assistant Dean of Men John
Bingley also feels that this is a
major reason. He said, "Negroes
have been indoctrinated from
birth to be an integrated group
within their own race and it is
difficult for them to get out of
this role.
Within Own Groups
"Some don't want to be accused,
of being 'Uncle Toms.' Others may
find satisfaction within their own
group. Also, other racial groups
give them no evidence of being
willing to accept them."
Mrs. Ruth Callahan, assistant
to the Office of Student Affairs,
said "Insofar as it amounts to a

To Limit
Iowa Bias
By JEROME WEINSTEIN
IOWA CITY-Fraternity chap-
ters at the University of Iowa
which are making "no progress"
toward eliminating restrictive
membership clauses will be sub-
ject to remedial action in the
future, under terms of a newly
adopted provision of the Univer-
sity Code of Student Life. The
provision was recommended by
the Committee on Student Life,
comprised of 15 faculty and staff
members and two students, and
was approved Thursday by Presi-
dent Virgil Hancher.
Hancher stated that the Univer-
sity would not establish definite
deadlines for eliminating such
membership provisions because it
believes that the problem should
be resolved through education and
democratic procedure, rather than
by coercion.

HANOVER-Sigma Chi's chap-
ter at Dartmouth College officially
severed ties with the national fra-
ternity recently.
Stephen Bosworth, president
elect of the local chapter, said that
the brothers have some reserva-
tions about leaving the national,
but on the whole feel that it is a
step in the right direction.
The Tabard, as the group is now
called, is the second Dartmouth
fraternity to drop its national af-
fiiliation this year as a result of
the 1954 referendum that all fra-
ternities drop their discriminatory
clauses by April 1, 196 or go local.
Phi Delta Alpha dropped its na-
tional affiliation in January.
EVANSTON - After debate on
a human relations committee reso-
lution, the Student Government
Board at Northwestern University
officially endorsed the southern
sit-in-movement.
The resolution read:
"The Northwestern University
Student Governing Board endorses
the principle of non-violent mass
action and protest for the achieve-
ment of equal rights and equal op-
portunity in a democratic society;
urges student government to or-
ganize all possible means of sup-
port for the sit - in movement
across the nation and particularly
in the South; and favors drawing
to the attention of students every-
where the need for participation
in civil rights actions by all college
campuses and all college commu-
nities.

NEW YORK - A memorandum
concerning skirts from Barnard
President Millicent C. McIntosh
has caused a protest on the school's
campus.
In the memorandum, Mrs. Mc-
Intosh says, "President Kirk of
Columbia University has expressed
concern about the dress and ap-
pearance of students in all divi-
sions of the university. He asks
that women in the university wear
skirts to classes and off-campus."
Opposition to the memorandum
is mounting. A petition which was
circulated among Barnard stu-
dents received about 600 signa-
tures in less than 24 hours. This
is almost half the total Barnard
student body.
Susan Rennie, chairman of Bar-
nard's Challenge summed up the
campus consensus by saying, "We
are being treated like adolescents."
The memorandum has done lit-
tle to change the dressing habits
of the coeds. Shorts and slacks
were worn by many of the girls,
some merely in protest against the
new policy.

because they don't gain the bene-
fits these activities would give
them: As citizens of the com-
munity they also have a respon-
sibility to participate without re-
gard to race, religion or creed.
"Getting to know people and
getting to be known as' an indi-
vidual is one of the benefits
of participation. When. you work
with people and learn to respect
them for their contributions youl
tend to lose your awareness of
their race or color."
Interested in Studies
Browne felt that another reason
for the low rate of Negro partici-
pation was that the Negro at-
tending the University is most in-
terested in studying and getting
his degree. Everything else is
"subsidiary."
Because of the small number of
Negroes on campus (approximate-
ly 200 in comparison to some 23,-
000 whites) they feel outnumbered
and therefore feel that they will
not be accepted by the rest of
the community," Faggett added.
Lack Communication
"Perhaps another reason for
lack of participation in student
activities is the lack of communi-
cation between Negro students.
This is good in the sense that it
cuts down on self segregation, but
&E
bad because it doesn't lead to
unity or whole-hearted support of
student actions," Faggett said.
He felt that the University's
chapter of the NAACP would help
to make use of the existing oppor-;
tunities in the campus community
and that through it "we will' be
better able to realize our role in,
the fight to end discrimination."
"We as Northern students have
a moral obligation to take advan-
tage of our opportunitieshso that
we can show the South that inte-
gration can and will work," Fag-
gett said.
"We have to raise the propor-;
tion of Negro participation above
the regular population proportion.,
Especially at this time-it is a
history-making time."
