Sigma Alpha Epsilon, the College's only fraternity is fighting the discrimination clause that is in its national constitution, Rod M. MacDougall '51, head of the local group, reported yesterday.

MacDougall said that the matter will not come up until the organization's national meeting. In June, he declined to predict the outcome, explaining that the various section of the country were sharply divided on the section which limits membership to "any male Christian of the Aryan race."

The northeastern province of S.A.E., of which Harvard in a member, voted unanimously last spring against the proposal. Working especially hard against the clause, MacDougall said, were the chapters at the University of Connecticut and the Dartmouth where administration pressure has been brought to bear.

Ultimatum Given

At Connecticut the chapter has been given until September of 1951 to have the restrictive clause removed from the national constitution. Otherwise, it will be expelled from its state-owned building and will probably go out of existence.

At Harvard, Associate Dean Watson reported last year that the College had no precedent in dealing with organizations that discriminated. The Student Council discussed the situation at great length last year, but none of its decisions are now in effect.
