TENT: S- -
rinceton Students Accuse Clubs of Discrimination
By SELMA SAWAYA
Princeton University's long-es-
ablished eating clubs have this
rear been the target for accusa-
ions ,of religious discrimination in
he selection of the club members.
These accusations were leveled
t the clubs by 22 Princeton sopho-
nores, who signed a statement
aying $hey had been discrimi-
gated against because of , religion
Suring "bicker,"
"Bicker" is the term which
?rincetonians use to describe the
nnual event of picking new mem-
ers for the eating clubs, and de-
lves its name from the constant
dckering between the sophomores
nd 01(1 club members, which is
art of the Princeton equivalent
)f rushing.
Sophomores Eligible
,When a Princeton student enters
dis sophomore year, he becomes
ligible for a bid to an eating
lub. Bicker takes place immedi-
,tely after the end of the first;
semester's finlal exams, and the
rocess lasts about 10 days. At the
nd of Bicker, the clubs give bids
o the sophomores.
The difference between bicker
nd rushing lies in the fact that''
he old members of the eating
lubs pay visits to the sophomores'
n their quarters, rather than hav-
rig the sophomores visit the eat-
ig clubs, as is customary in fra-
ernity and sorority rushing.
The bicker committees of each
f the clubs pays a visit to each
ophomore on the first night of
he period, spend about 10 or 15
ninute with ithe individuals, and
rhen they leave, decide whether
he persons just visited are "club
ype" (as their booklet puts it)
)r not.
Judge by Bids
As the days go by, fewer and
ewer committees will visit a par-
Lcular room, and the occupants.
an judge how many bids they
sill receive by the number of
onnittees still calling.
The importance of eating clubs
o the Princton students is pri-
narily because the club provides
he student with everything but
place to sleep.
The club is the basis for social
ife and athletic participation (un-
ess one is on a varsity team). It
lso provides a place to eat, and
elps form contacts in the busi-
.ess and professional world after
raduation.
Seventeen Clubs+
Princeton has 17 eating clubs,
rhich have a sort of hierarchy,
mong themselves. The "Big Five"
oisist of Ivy Club, Tiger InIn,
:olonial, Cap'and Gown, and Cot-+
age.
At Pincton it is generally+
cknowledged that these five clubs
onstitute the summit. Eleven
ther clubs, are grouped together
nderneath the "Big Five." At'
tie bottom of the list in prefer-I
nce and prestige is Prospect, a
ooperative club.1
The conflict arose out of two
actors: Prospect Club issued an
pen bid to any and all sopho-f
iores' who cared to join. Their;
oznmittee did not visit rooms; 1
hey merely invited all who want- c
ed to join.to come to Prospect and
sign up, saying that they would
take anyone until their quota was
filled.
The second factor Is the boast
of the Interclub Committee, gov-
erning body of the Princeton clubs,
that "100 per cent of the men who
want to, make a club."
The Daily '"Princetonian pub-
lished an editorial during bicker,
saying that because of Prospect's
open bid policy Prospect would be
used as a "dumping ground" by
the other clubs to place the, men
who wanted to join a club but
were considered undesirable for
ay but Prospect.
On the final night of bicker,
the sophomores .visit the clubs,.
Those who have received several{
bids pick the best, and those who
have received no bid must go from
house to house until they are
accepted.
Forty-Two Left
This year, at the close of the
last night of bicker, 42 students
remained without bids. Of the 42,
20 were either taken by, clubs or
were persuaded to join Prospect.
Twenty-two students then re-
The proposed building will have Goheen said Princeton needed
social and dining facilities, as well something to give all students the
as dormitory room, for 600 stu- opportunity for a "satisfying cam-
dents. It will also include a library pus experience, without the stark
and recreation room. choice between a club or nothing."
Majority of Loan Funds
In Use, Parker Reveals
"Most of the scholarship andv
loan funds available to students
are being used," Assistant Dean of
Men Ivan Parker said yesterday.
Parker estimated that only about
four per cent of the scholarship
funds available last year were not
used. Parker attributed this un-
used amount to the specific limita-
tions put on these funds by the
donor.
There is, according to Parker,
almost one million dollars in the.
loan fund. About $800,000 of this
is now loaned out.
Committee Reluctant
The loan committee is reluctant
to authorize much more than this
mained.
Of these 22/ 15 are Jewish. .All
22 students signed the statement
saying, " I feel I have been dis-
criminated against because of race
or religion."
The Princeton Undergraduate
Council questioned the adminis-.
tration as to whether Princeton
would "condone the exisence of
private autonomous groups with-
in the Princeton community which
assert their right to discriminate
religiously."
Goheen Plans Quad
The . administration countered
with a plan, announced by Presi-
dent Robert F. Goheen, or erecting
a quadrangle to serve as an alter-
native to the eating clubs.
Internatilonal
Ar,,chitectureU
On.Displea
An International Exhibition of
the work of architectural students
is now on display at the College
of Architecture and Design, to
continue through March 24.
The exhibition consists of ap-
proximately 240 photographs of
work done by students from 15
countries: Austria, Japan, Norway,
Cuba, the United States, Belgium,
Canada, Czechoslovakia, Greece,
Italy, the Netherlands, Switzer-
land, Turkey and Yugoslavia.
The National Institute for
Architectural Education invited all
countries to participate.
This is the first exhibition of its
kind in this country. It offers a
symposium expressing the simi-
larities and differences in cultural
experiences, professional develop-
ment, and the ;technical differ-
ences of each of the participating,
countries.

The general session, to begin at

Can da House
Canada House, a new Canadian
student organization which hopes
to gain recognition soon, will be
represented at the Model United
Nations today.
The group hopes to contact the
1100 Canadian alumni in an effort
to create scholarships.
Canada House has not chosen
its officers yet, but an election is
planned in approximately three
weeks.
amqunt, he explained, because of
the nature of the loans. Some of
these loans are long term and tie
up the money for a considerable
period.
One special scholarship which
is not used, Parker said, is to be
given to residents of IIngham
County who are enrolled in busi-
ness and pre-business curriculums.
This would also apply to students
studying secretarial practices. But
to be eligible, the student must
have a 2.5 average or better.
Two Available
There are two scholarships avail-
able, worth as much as $500.
However, one of the most un-
usual scholarships the University
has, the Seth Harrison Scholar-
ship, is entirely filled. This fund-
donated in 1895-is given to the
descendants of Harrison. In order
to. determine who is entitled to
this scholarship, a geneological
table of the family is maintained
in the Office of the President.
"Surprisingly, this is one of our
csheapest scholarships to admin-
-ister," Parker said. When a person
applies for this scholarship, all we
have to do is check with the
President's office to see if the
person is really in the family.
Then we check with the Business
office to see how much money is
left in the fund, and pro-rate it
among the qualified applicants."
Cohen Heads
Health Stud
Committee
Prof. Wilbur J. Cohen of the
School of Social Work headed a
25-member M i c h ig a n Public
Health Study Commission which
completed more than a year of
intensive investigation ast fall.
The commission was appointed
by Gov. G. Mennen Williams to
study Michigan's public health
needs and offer suggestions for
improvements.
The commission made its final
recomendations on "Building
Michigan's Health" in a 33-page
report to Gov. Williams. The re-
port included suggestions for ac-
tion' in such areas as local health
services, services for the chroni-
cally ill, mental health programs
and research.
Prof. Cohen's personal summa-
tion of the study is that public
health in Michigan is now "in-
adequately financed, inadequate-
ly staffed, inadequate in terms of
citizen participation, inadequate-
ly coordinated, inadequate in
terms of long range planning and
Inadequate from the standpoint
of legislative authority." He point-
ed out, however, that It has pro-
gressed greatly.
