Radcliffe's left - wing student groups should submit full membership lists to the Dean's Office, Dean Mildred P. Sherman told Radcliffe Student Government President Joan Projansky '49 yesterday.

Her action followed two pre-vacation secret meetings of the Annex Student Council at which officers of Radcliffe's American Youth for Democracy chapter and its Young Progressives Club protested that disclosure of their membership lists might lead to retribution or prevent members from getting jobs upon graduation.

Denies Political Blas

Dean Sherman denied that there were any political implications in the administration's request for membership lists. All undergraduate groups at Radcliffe have been asked to supply membership lists, and only the AYD and Young Progressives have not complied.

In order to prevent their members' names becoming public, these groups by-passed Radcliffe's pay-day mechanism for collecting dues. At pay-day, anyone who wants to join a club signs up for that group with Student Government officials and pays the club's dues at that time. The two left-wing groups collected their dues at meetings instead.

Secret Compromise

Miss Projansky will report Dean Sherman's recommendation to the Council next Monday. At its secret sessions during December, the CRIMSON learned from Council members last night, the Council endorsed in principle the proposal to require all student groups to submit their membership lists, as a compromise that political groups pool their lists and submit one joint list to the Dean's Office.

This list would not identify an individual as a member of a specific group, but would merely list all members of political groups alphabetically.
