Now All Subject

Tuesday night however, the
Council passed a new ruling to
the effect that all student groups
even subject to recognition are
barred from using segregated facilities.

The new regulation says, "No
organization subject to recognition
by the Student Council as
stated below shall patronize any
establishment that maintains a
policy of discrimination with regard
to race, color, creed, or national
origin.

"Organizations subject to Student
Council recognition shall include
honor societies, professional
fraternities, publications, debating
and literary societies, special
interest groups, departmental organizations,
drama and radio
groups, military organizations,
music societies, political societies,
service organizations, social societies;
special activities groups,
and sports and hobby groups."

"In other words," said Mr.
Witt, "all groups have to seek
recognition or else face being
thrown off the Grounds."
