Student Reconstruction Group Conducts Open Forum at Pi Kappa Alpha House
Waxing as hot as a group of Communists at a mass meet-and as brilliant as braintrusters at a confab, nearly a ndred enthusiastic students and profs turned out with lir special ideas for “Our Part in the Coming Peace” last [ht at the ASSC war council’s open forum at the PiKA
house.
Debate Captain Seymour Vinocur, chairman of the student postwar reconstruction committee, led the discussion as moderator.
STARTS WITH A BANG
The meeting commenced with Dr. J. Eugene Harley sounding the keynote. “We must beware of postwar reaction,” he said. “This reaction will take two forms: the reaction of those who desire a ‘return to normalcy,’ and that of those persons who do not desire a liberal peace.”
Soon thereafter the discussion swung to the future status of colonies. Dr. T. Walter Wallbank was generally given approval by the assemblage, as he voiced a plea for a pooling of colonies after the war, under a type of international mandate system.
NEGRO PROBLEM TOLD
Then the discussion grew fast and furious. “We have a problem analogous to the colonial problem right in the United States,” expounded Dr. Wilbert Hindman. “Our government action in the Philip-led in the program will be [ pines has been rather successful, schuta Overture,” Weber, and but look at the status of the Negro [ance du Christ,” Berlioa, for in the South.

Dr. Alan Nichols, Trojan debate coach and professor of speech, proposed a mass exchange of students from nation to nation in order “to educate people for an eventual world state.” “We will not get an international order at the end of this war, because the world is not yet psychologically ready for it,” stated Dr. Nichols.
A WORD IN EDGEWISE
After a “seventh-inning stretch” for donuts and coffee, the intelli-gensia returned to ,the task at hand, summarizing their individual viewpoints on the question. Practically all in attendance favored the entrance of the United States into a future cooperative agency. Opinion was not so one-sided on the type of world government most to be desired after the war, but the consensus favored the gradual evolution of a world state as voiced by Dr. Nithols.

Christmas Party for Children. Called Off
The Greek’s annual Christmas party for underprivileged children which was to have been held Dec. 17 has been called off because of the difficulties of getting transportation and because there are so few poor kids, it was said yesterday by Bob Gates, chairman of the event.

Gutted NightClub Said Tinder Box'
BOSTON, Dec. 2—(UP)—Five major points were presented for grand jury consideration tonight as the result of evidence amassed at dual inquiries by state prosecutors who are expected to seek manslaughter or criminal negligence indictments in the Cocoanut Grove holocaust.

In its final tabulation, the Boston public safety committee listed 490 dead. But a check of 13 hospitals where 139 lay suffering with burns, bruises, and lung ailments indicated that many were in such serious condition the .toll might soon climb beyond 500,
