Committee on International Affairs Participates in U.S. Student Union

Chairman S. Douglass Cater '46, presiding at the Student Council Committee on International Affairs at Brooks House yesterday, outlined the aims of the group which is working in cooperation with the International Union of Students and explained its newly-adopted constitution.

Preparing for the convention in Chicago late in December to draft plans for the organization of a United States Union of Students along lines of the international Union, Cater recommended to the 15 Council Committeemen that a sub-committee should immediately be formed to draw up tentative plans for a Constitution of the national Union.

Another purpose of the Council Committee will be to promote internationalism at Harvard by coordinating student groups who are interested in international organizations with their program. The Liberal Union and the newly-formed United Nations Council of Harvard have already scheduled forums on international relations and will be consulted by the Committee on their future discussion groups and forums.

Cater recommended also that Harvard take the lead in consolidating New England colleges into a regional Union for the purpose of securing participation at the Chicago convention next months and eventually forming these own branches of the Student Union.
