A decision adopted by the Interfraternity Council of Northwestern University here, setting November 1, 1963, as a deadline for removal of discriminatory clauses from national fraternity constitutions, was unanimously approved here this weekend by the Council on Undergraduate Life. The latter group represents the administration and faculty of Northwestern University.
The Council on Undergraduate Life recommended, in approving the previous student action, that the university take “immediate action” if, by November 1, 1963, “the Interfraternity Council does not bring about freedom of the local chapters at Northwestern to select their own members without regard to race, religion or ethnic origin.”
Declaring that the student action here is consistent with university policy, the administration and faculty representatives reiterated that policy as stated more than two years ago by Dr. J. Roscoe Miller, president of the University.
