All-Male Clubs

By Compiled FROM College newspapers

PRINCETON, New Jersey--A recent Princeton College alumna will appeal a state agency's dismissal of her sex-discrimination suit against Princeton's three all-male eating clubs. The Daily Princetonian reported last week.

The New Jersey Division on Civil Rights denied Sally Frank's complaint last month, ruling that the eating clubs are private under New Jersey law and thus exempt from sex discrimination statutes. Frank claims that the clubs are affiliated with Princeton and so subject to such and will appeal to the Appelase Division of New Jersey Superior Court.

Sophomores at Princeton may "bicker" for membership in any of 13 private eating clubs. Frank challenged the existence of the three all-male clubs: Courage, lvy, and Tiger Inn.

Wllson Tried

Princeton administrators starting with Woodrow Wilson have tried to replace the supposedly snobbish and elitist clubs with a system of residential colleges. Three such colleges will open in fall '83 in addition to two already operating. These new colleges, primarily for underclassmen, will not compete with the eating clubs.
