this, bluntly, is tne recom- mendation. of a study commis sion concerning Southern Illi nois University social fraterni ties and sororities. In a report released today, the commission recommenned to SIU. President -Delyte W. Morris: "Ideally, each group should reach its own consensus that pledging without regard to race, creed or color is in the interest of his group and his country." I If any: group, after the three; year interval, has not made a good faith effort to bring about integration on this basis, it should forfeit its right to function as an integral part of SIU, the commission recommends.

The study group also made recommendations on expansion of the Greek system, upgrading scholarship levels, drinking of liquor by and' administration. Integration was the prime consideration of the report.

SIU now has 13 chapters of Greek-letter groups with quarters in "Greek row" the Small Group Housing area at the west edge of the main Carbondale campus. There are 15 buildings in the group. One is temporarily occupied by the SIU Health Service and another is occupied by the Little Egypt Ag Co-op.

None of the 10 white fraternities and sororities have ever initiated a Negro member and none of the three Negro groups have ever initiated a white member. This "de facto' segregation exists even though years ago all the croups put themselves on record as having no rules or regulations that would bar any one from membership because of race, creed or color The commission recommends integration on the basis of "vol untarism" rather than The commission defines "tok enism" as a system- in which each group might initiate one member of the opposite race for "exhibition purposes."
