Faculty Group
Kills 'Persians'
r
Persians, a proposed political
organization, was rejected Wed
nesday by the University Senate
committee on student activities.
Official notification has not yet
been received by the Persians but
their officers were told that com
mittee action had been unfavor
able. Dean Marjorie Johnston
secretary of the faculty senate
committee, confirmed this report
Saturday.
Dean Johnston said a letter will
be sent the organization next week
giving the official version of the
committee action.
Wall Refuses Comment.
Ben Wall, Arcadia freshman
who headed the proposed society,
refused comment on the rejection
until the committee s letter is re

The Persians were organized in
October for "the elimination of
discrimination on the campus and
the establishment of a representa
tive student government," accord
ing to Wall.
The Student Council approved
a revised Persians constitution in
January. Previously the council
refused to recognize the political
group, following the recommenda
tions of Bob Wenke, council con

At that tune tne group was
accused of creating a secret polit
ical fraternity. The constitution
was revised according to council
specifications before getting its
approval.
The revisions requested by the
council did not substantiate
charges that it (the Persians) was
either secret, a fraternity, or un
democratic," Wall said.
