Formed to further the knowl- edge and interest of the students in the Held of commerce, both have lived up to their purposes and have in the past year held successful ventures separately and jointly. The Economics Club is under the moderatorship of Mr. Richard Davies and Michael Ceran held the office of President for the 1955-56 school year. Among its activities have been informative discussions. The Economic Con- sequences of the CIO-AF of L Mergeri' and The Economic Consequences of a Family Living Wage are two examples of just such discussions. The Finance Club is under the moderatorship of Dr. Haig Silvanie and Michael Ceran served as President for the current school year. Two iield trips were held by the Finance Club, to mention only one of its varied activities. Hayden-Stone, an investment banking house, and the New York Stock Exchange were the scene of these two Held trips. A joint venture of these two organizations was the participation in the Joint Allied Social Sciences Convention in New York. The diligence of the members was commended on this occasion. The Economics Club is an affiliate of the Catholic Economic Association. 211 Michael Geran President

GCGHGHNCS ClUB George MacKay President Professor Edward Cook Moderator Finance planners of the future. Formed in September 1955, the Economics Club has the distinction of being the Fordham Business School's newest entry into the system of extracurricular activities. Acting as moderator of the club is Professor Edward Cook, well known and respectel in the field of economics. Responsible for the competent and well run activities are George McKay, President, Gerald Cornell, vice president, and Robert Delaney acting in the position of secretary. Chief among the purposes of the club is the promotion of student interest in contemporary economic matters both domestic and international. Broken down to more specific points of interest, the group considers such factors as unemploy- ment, taxation, inflation and various other problems that continually rise in our intricate economic system. The first semesteris activities were restricted to an acquaintance period dur- ing which meetings consisted of group discussions. It was the opinion of the officers that these economic pow wows' would better prepare the group for the series of economic experts scheduled to speak in the second term. One of the year's highlights for the organization was the unprecedented dis- cussion with Father Varga, School of Business philosophy teacher. Father Varga, whose experiences in Hungary have well educated him in the tactics of the Reds,', spoke on Communism and its effect on an economic system. After one successful year, the Economics Club will now open its membership doors to any student of the university wishing to become better acquainted with the economic world around him.

Lolaoham fonum The primary purpose of this organization is to invite speakers to the school who are prom- inent in their respective fields. This is for the beneit of the entire student body and any stu- dent may attend these addresses. Topics are presented on the subjects of business, civics and politics at bi-monthly meetings. Normally a question period follows all addresses so that the speaker may clarify any points in his monologue which the students did not fully understand. Thus an opportunity is offered to all to learn of the various fields of activity and the oppor- tunities that may be open to them. The Fordham Forum is extremely fortunate to have Dr. James Flynn as moderator. The elected officers are Daniel De Stefano, Presi- dentg john Grill, Vice Presidentg Kathleen Burke, Secretaryg Stacy Kotsopulos, Treasurer.
