C-g'zud,el'lll'clffttliy c;C 'CLtm Most of us have learned by experience that it is only through the give and take of ideas that we can hope to iron out most of those knotty problems that are continually cropping up. Student-Faculty Forum is the agency on campus that serves as a clearing house for these ideas concerning the problems which arise and clamor for attention and solution. The Forum, composed of representatives of students and fac- ulty, attempts through informal discussions to analyze the symptoms with a finger on the pulse of college life and then prescribe possible reme- dies. Or it may deal with a question for the interest value alone. But what then? Talking is useless without action, It is very true that it has no legislative powers, but this doesn't mean that as a result Student-Faculty Forum be- comes a dead letter office. After it has drawn conclusions, it does have the power to suggest courses of action to the appropriate groups which can make these ideas realities. And no one underestimates the power of suggestion.
