Progressives Get Officers and Plan At First Meeting

The newly-formed Young Progressives of Harvard lashed out at the peacetime draft last night at their formal meeting in Harvard Hall. The group also adopted a program of participation in College activities, marking for special attention drives for lowering; tuition rates and increasing the number of scholarships available to Negro students.

Chosen officers at the meeting were Gerald Gordon 1L, chairman; Burt Wechsler 3L, treasurer; and Arnold Berman 3L, secretary. The group is an outgrowth of the pre-election Committee for Wallace and is dedicated to "spreading progressive ideas throughout the University."

Also announced at the meeting was publication of the first issue of the "Progressive," the group's eight-page, mimeographed magazine.
