THE complexities of the world situation today make it necessary for students, espe- cially, to be fully informed about current affairs in order to be prepared for their future positions of responsible citizens and voters. The purpose of the Forum is to acquaint Packer ' s students, through class discussion groups, all-school Forums, and current events speeches, with important developments in present history. A discussion of World Government, at the all-school Forum in September, launched the Forum ' s activities for the year. A panel of four speakers presented their opinions on world federation, and the audience participated in a question and answer period. Forum discussions throughout the year have been concerned with such diverse topics as: Radio Advertising, Sororities, Socialized Medicine, Co-ed and ' Women ' s Colleges, Independent or Party ' Voting?, Federal Aid to Education, Religion in the Schools, Opportunities in Public Service, Pros and Cons of Socialism, Mercy Killing, and other stimulating ques- tions. Current events speeches, presented once a month in chapel, are condensed accounts of important news developments. They provide an opportunity for Packer ' s students to receive a capsule account of the month ' s news in five minutes. As an educational institution it is Packer ' s responsibility to prepare its students for future civic participation and leadership. Information, via the Forum, plays a large part in achieving this goal. THE FORUM 85
