Lanigan '39, chairman of the Student Union's Practical Politics committee, spoke last night along with Joseph Lee, Boston School Committee man before 300 Roxbury school children and their parents in Otis Hall, Roxbury, in an effort to dispel the reputation for "radicalism" which the Union's activity there has aroused.
Lanigan denied that the Student Union was in any way a Communist organization, emphasizing its democratic nature.
