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.
