The measure was sent to the Resolutions Committee, which was to report shortly before the late to- day. It calls on all national college fraternities to repeal any mem- bership bans based on race or religion. An informal movement among undergroduate inter - fraternity councils on New England and midwestern compuses resulted in preparation of the draft resolu- tion. Since the undergraduates are only guests at the conference, without the right to participate actively, it was uncertain until today whether they would even get their proposal onto the floor. Alexander Goodman of Balti- more, executive secretary of Phi Alpha Fraternity, however, pre- sented it to the conference for them. He urged that the confer- ence advise member fraternities to repeal any discriminatory clauses.
