Whites Might Be Excluded From AAAAS

A spokesman for the Association of African and Afro-American Students indicated yesterday that the Association's membership clause would bar whites who consider themselves Africans from joining.

Archie C. Epps 2G, a founder and leader of the group, said it was his understanding that white Africans "decline themselves out of the organization because of their claim to be of European descent."

One controversy surrounding the group's request for University recognition has been the question of whether white Africans who are opposed to colonialism and racism could join. The membership clause reads: "Membership of the Association shall be open to African and Afro-American students currently enrolled at Harvard and Radcliffe."

Last Thursday the Faculty Committee on Student Activities postponed action on University recognition for the group. However, the has been allowed to use University rooms and was given the right to solicit members on registration lines this Fall.
