Final action on recognition of a
Campus chapter of the National
Association for the Advancement
Of Colored People is expected at a
faculty-student committee meeting
eet May 7, Donald DuShane, direc
tor of student affairs told the Em
erald Tuesday.
Postponed since before spring
vacation, recognition of the chap
ter ia again being brought up for
committee discussion. The group
has been seeking recognition since
last spring, when the student af
fairs committee voted unanimously
against its petition for recognition.
It was refused on the grounds that
it was not strictly a student organ
ization.
Speaking at his own request, J.
V. Berreman, sociology professor
and NAACP advisor, will present
at the May meeting the groups an
swer to criticisms by committee
members. The faculty senate com
J mittee appointed in March to in
I vestigate student affairs commit
tee policy on recognition of cam
pus organizatoins will also attend
the meeting.
The last action taken on the
chapter’s recognition was at a fac
ulty-student committee meeting in
March. At that time the committee
heard John C. McCloskey, English
professor and committee member,
read a three page argument
against the request.
The committee voted three to
three on a motion to grant the
group recognition.
Tie Vote
Because of the tie vote, it was
decided to hold another hearing
which Berreman could attend.
Two of the main arguments
against the NAACP center on two
clauses in the group’s constitution
and its national affiliation. Both
clauses have been changed since
Princess in Art Education
tvSdNT
CABOI. LEE TATE
“Weaving”
As an art education major, Carol
Lee Tate, princess on the Junior
Weekend court, spends some of her
spare time weaving and manages
to sandwich in some bowling on
the side.
Another court member who
comes from a family of girls, Carol
lives in Portland with three sisters
and attended Grant high school. A

promotion chairman of Junior
Weekend, a member of Phi Theta,
was promotion . chairman of the
Oregana and active in the YWCA.
Carol’s reaction when named as
a Junior Weekend princess was to
be “really surprised,” and she finds
all the activities exciting.
the committee voted against the
group last spring.
Clauses Changed
One clause authorized an educa
tional committee which would seek
to eliminate derogatory material
from textbooks. Since the commit
tee objected to the clause, it was
changed to read "... seek to in
sure a fair and impartial presenta
tion” of material pertaining to oth
er races.
The other clause was changed so
that the group is “affiliated with
and subscribes to the ideals of” the
national group, rather than being
a “constituent and subordinate
unit” of the association.
In addition, the group added a
clause which provides for all of its
activities to be “within the frame
work of University regulation.”
Opponents felt the first clause
was an infringement on academic
freedom. The group’s advocates
say that it means no more than
the right to complain about biased
presentation of material, a right
that already exists. They say an
impartial presentation necessarily
includes both sides.
The national character of the
group was attacked, as it was felt
a campus organization should deal
with campus problems. The other
side points out that many organi
zations now on campus, the inter
national relations league, religious
groups and the YWCA all have
national affiliations. They do not
deal strictly with campus problems.
NAACP Seeking Action?
The NAACP was criticized also
as seeking action, not just study
and thought. But advocates declare
that action means discussions and
forums. They argue that the true
value of education is preparation
for the outside world.
It is argued also that there is no
racial problem on campus, hence
no need for an NAACP. The need,
according to the group, is the de
sire to study the problem.
Three Negro Members
There are six Negro students on
campus. Two are active in the
group, another attends meetings
and three have no contact with it.
