I would have no objection if it were an Italian- American club. Caucasian is not an apt category, however, and it is difficult to see how it could function except as a celebration of racialism. The reason that a Black Student Union is tolerable is that there is presumed to be a set of sociological and historical characteristics that make blacks into one ethnic group in this country, rather than a fairly empty racial designation. Similarly, Asian are very diverse, but seen to operate under similar pressures and problems, and therefore to be able to offer mutual aid. I suppose, however, that if one were define it as a club for those of European origin, I would have no objection, since that would establish some sort of historical perspective, rather than naked racial categorization.........
