STUDENT LIBERALS FORM NEW DISCUSSION GROUP

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

An undergraduate organization more "liberal" than the Harvard-Radcliffe Liberal Union is in the making. Earlier this week, nine students met here in the first attempt to form a local chapter of Students For a Democratic Society.

The group's parent organization is the League for Industrial Democracy, a non-profit educational group with headquarters in New York.

William R. Hruschka '63, spokesman for the Harvard students, said they disapproved of the Liberal Union's "sluggish feeling" about inviting speakers tagged as, for example, Communists. This new group, he continued, wants to invite anyone without worrying about his label, to talk about anything, and to conduct extensive study groups.

Hruschka thought the Harvard Socialist Club was too dogmatic ("They are socialists.") and didn't do enough for these students' interests. The group decided to meet again, and draft a constitution.
