FORUM Discusses the Political Problems of the World Intrigued by tense world trouble spots, mem- bers of the Forum met to discuss issues makin the news of the day. Topics ranged from the Viet-Nam conHict-win or loseP-to the prob- lems which must be met in the battle over re- apportionment of the state legislature. This unusual type of student organization got into full swing this year after a late start last year. According to President Alan Kan, the groups objective is to promote an interest in the social sciences. The bi-monthly discussions were guided by a series of pamphlets published by a national program of Great Discussions. For each upcoming subject, a five man panel was set up to do preliminary research so that when the discussion began, there were some facts to which participants could refer. Assisting in the organ- ization of the club were Vice President Bill McGovern, Secretary Cecilia Davidson, and Treasurer Christine Mrozek. Planning interestmg discusszons and informative programs for all the Forum meetings is the job of the clubis Executive Board. Front Row: J. Arena, B. McGovern, C. Davidson, A. Kan, C. Mrozek, W.

Most of all, the general participation of the members in the regular activities of the organ- ization proved to be the best asset offered. Each meeting featured a news report sum- marizing the current happenings in different helds of scientific achievement. Tutoring ses- sions for the Westinghouse Test and discus- sions of projects and ideas helped to inspire individual research. Highlighting these func- tions were lectures by accomplished scientists which provided a goal for members to aspire to. Front Row: A. DiMartino, D. Shalloway, H. Levine, W. Schorr, M. Engleman, J.
