that the michigan plan had been adopted this plan as stated called for the banning of any new campus organization with discriminatory clauses m its charter and for the education of present groups with i such clauses we have since discovered that this report from urbana was in correct the air of quiet optimism engendred by this report has been dissipated a study of the resolu tion which was adopted m the michigan plan's stead gave rise m its place to disillusionment and contempt perhaps a comparison of the two resolutions will explain our position the michigan plan as intro be it resolved that nsa further urges that student government working m cooperation with cam pus organizations determine a pe riod at the end of which time those organizations still having discrimi natory clauses within their chart ers and/or constitutions would make provision for reviewing them with a view to determining whether the said organization has made a sincere effort to remov its discri minatory clauses approval for continuation of said organizations would be based upon the progress that the said organization has been making towards the removal of those discriminatory clauses at the introduction of this reso lution however a group of dele gates from the land of jim crow arose and threatened to walk out of the convention if the resolution was passed their move was doubteless motivated by the real ization that this resolution m con trast to the others passed by the assembly actually had some anti bigotry teeth m it intimidated by the gromyko action of the budding senator claghorn's the rest of the delegates agreed to table the proposition and replace it with the following be it resolved that nsa fur ther urges that student govern ments working m cooperation with campus organizations meet period ically to determine the degree of progress made m the elimination of discrimination and that the stu dent governments and these or ganizations would then jointly de termine what further programs should be followed the milquetoast quality of tills substitute is obvious it is shocking o contemplate that this entire uni versity of genuine liberal tradition is as we are all members of
