Their objective was better understanding of present-day social problems and public affairs. The students themselves decide upon subjects of a public nature which shall be considered for discussion. Social Security, farm problems, power issue, price stabil- ization, neutrality and international affairs are some of the subjects discussed. Naturally a considerable amount of preparation is done in order to be fully conversant with the subject. After the speakers are heard, open discussions are held and student participation is encouraged. In the Forum students are given an opportunity to hear both sides of controversial issues, emphasis being placed on distinguishing propaganda from fact. Thus, training is provided in the skills of discussion and methods of critical analysis, and the student is enabled to keep abreast of the changing times.
