Harvard's newly formed Student Union Civil inaugurate its program of activities tonight when Serrill Gerber, field secretary of the American Student Union, speaks on "The Student Today" before as open meeting in the Lowell House Common Room at 8 o'clock.
It is expected that Mr. Gerber will devote his talk to an explanation of the aims of the American Student Union and of its influence upon college organizations throughout the country as well as to a description of youth movements and youth congresses in America.
Several committees constituted to investigate pressing problems and to carry out important projects will be appointed during the evening by the members of the former Peace Society, Liberal Club, National Student League and Student League for Industrial Democracy.
Two Important Committees
Since the furtherance of world peace constitutes one of the primary aims of the Student Union, a Peace Committee consisting substantially of members of the former Peace Society will probably be formed. In addition it is expected that a Committee on Civil Liberties or Academic Freedom, composed primarily of former Liberal Club members, will undertake the organization of opposition to the Teachers' Oath Bill.
Further committees to be organized this evening will probably include a Labor Problems Committee, a committee to discuss the annual peace mobilization for this spring, a Speakers Committee, a Study Groups Committee, and Membership Committee.
As the result of a resolution passed by the Peace Society immediately before its amalgamation in the Harvard Student Union, the question of national affiliation with the American Student Union will not be discussed tonight. The latter ruling required that the Union should remain national unaffiliated "until this question shall be submitted to the membership not sooner than one month from the adoption of its constitution."
