NUMBER 74 Western Europe And Communism Lecture Tonight Communism, in western Europe Is the topic of tonight's browsing room lecture at 7:30 p.m. In the Student Union. The lecturer is Gordon Wright, acting head of the history depart ment, who spent nine months last year studying in western Europe. He toured England, Italy, Ger many, Austria, and did special re search work in France where he observed the political and social life of the French peasant. "Communism in western Europe is concentrated in France and Italy and the moss movement there is stronger than in any other region outside of the Communist dominated world," Wright said. From his observations last year, Wright will indicate what he be lieves are the main sources of Communist strength in France and Italy, what prospects the Commu nists have In gainiing more power and how Communist strength may be reduced in the countries of Western Europe. Wright has been on the Univer sity faculty since 1939. He holds n Ph D. from Stanford university. Charles Schleicher, professor of political science, will lead the dis cussion following the lecture. • I It* lounui isiscusse* Constitution, Cords Points to be included into pro posed class constitutions and class cards — similar to student body cards were discussed at ASUO class council meeting Tuesday night. Dick Williams, Student Union director, told council members that the only reason for class cards ^uld be to raise money. He did not think that would be necessary, he explained, as classes had enough money now. Previously members had considered a pos sible basis on which a student could be considered members of one class or another. The four points suggested for constitutions included: 1. Succession of officers 2. Main class functions - 3. Duties of class officers and 4. Freshman representation (freshman constitution only). It was decided that class repre sentatives would move up in the event that the presidency or vice presidency of a class was vacated. Then petitions would be called for to replace the representative. Main function of each class was decided to be, for the sophomores, the Sophomore Whiskerino, the juniors, the Junior Prom, and the seniors, the Senior Ball. The president of each class, whose duties are to be defined, will delegate the duties of secretary and treasurer to the two represen tatives. And concerning freshman repre sentation before winter term elec tions, it was decided that the presi dents of the freshman dormitories would elect two representatives, one man and one woman, to sit on the council. The ASUO constitu tion stipulates freshman elections ■'intist be held after the first and before the fifth week of winter term. 33 Cents Lost By Government In Returning 1 DALLAS, Tex.—(U.P)—It cost 1 the xo'rrnmrnt S3 cent*, not in cluding the paper work, to send former marine S Hgt.
