State Board Forbids Fraternities at OTI Salem 4U.R1 There will be no secret societies or fraternities at Oregon Technical Institute in Klamath Falls. And there will be no secret societies or fraternities at any junior colleges that may be es tablished in Oregon. That is the policy of the Stale Board of Education, as defined in Salem Friday. William Purvine, director of OTI, which Is a two-year voca tional school operated by the state, asked the State Board of Education to establish a policy regarding fraternities and soc ieties, and the board decided that secret groups were out. Wants No Selection It would not go so far as Mac Darling of Portland, Ooard mem ber, who wanted to make social groups "democratic" by taking out all provision for selection by group members of future group members. Miss Darling, retired Portland school teacher and representa tive of the AFL Teachers' union, wanted living organizations on the Oil campus to be demo cratic to the extent that any one who met certain standards, such as grade averages, to be eligible automatically for the living groups, Including those of Negro or Jewish origin. The board declined to go along with this proposal, but did agree that such organization at OTI or any other two-year institution of higher learning should be open, as far as its constitution is con cerned, and it should be sharply supervised by the administration of the school. Some members of the board expressed unhappiness that there are secret societies or fratern ities in four-year institutions of higher learning like Oregon State college and University of Oregon. But they confined their policy to two-year schools be cause the State Board of Higher Education deals with the four year colleges and universities.
